Rain, Rain, Random

Seriously I feel like I'm living in Oregon again.  It has NOT rained just one day this week.  This time of year it's usually 80+ degrees out!  With all the gloom I have a serious lack of motivation.  Plus I have a 3 year old trapped inside who wants all my attention.  However on the plus side it means that the yard and garden are getting watered for free!

When we went to visit the Great grandparents last month we watched a little parade.  One of the floats had a square dancing group and as they drove by us they were doing the Hokey Pokey... which Cory remembers as the Hunky Punky.  So this morning while I was in the shower he came in and wanted me to sing the "Hunky Punky".  The kid has an amazing memory...

In other Cory news... yesterday I gave Noah a bath as we were having our picture taken for the church directory last night (more on that later).  I left the baby bath tub in the tub and Cory was "washing" his bath toys in it.  While I was dressing Noah I suddenly heard him talking to himself, "I peed on myself, I need to take a bath".  When I got back in the bathroom I find that yes, he had peed on the rug (grrr!), but then he had taken all his clothes off, climbed in the tub, and was perched in Noah's bathtub.  Yes, I did take a picture as it was hilarious, but no, I'm not posting it online!

Now for the church directory picture... we had this done 3 years ago when Cory was about the age Noah is now.  So I found that same outfit for Noah to wear - score!  I also managed to get relatively coordinating colored shirts for the rest of us to wear.  I didn't think it would be so difficult to get a family picture, but Noah was awake and fussy and the worst part was the photographer.  He made all kinds of funny noises with his mouth, presumably to get kids' attention.  But he was so in your face and brusque about positioning us that Cory was afraid of him.  Which meant that he wouldn't look at him or the camera.  So, the very first picture of the family is the only one that was decent.  And the only one where he is actually smiling Brian is holding him and I'm standing behind the photographer telling him to say "pickles" rather than "turkey".  Who tells someone to say "turkey" anyway?

And now while I'm writing this my son has just come to tell me that he "wants some more to eat" for the third time.  Hello, where did my child go that takes an hour to eat?  For lunch he's already had: a hotdog, some peas and carrots, string cheese, frozen cherries and blueberries (like a whole cupful), Ritz crackers, and graham crackers.

Hope you all have a good holiday weekend!  We'd work in the yard... if it would quit raining!
