Building Memories

Joshua, Ruth, and Hannah were invited to play over at their friends' house yesterday after church.  Scott and I decided that we would use that opportunity to take Elijah and Jonathan to the store.  We let Jonathan ride a bicycle around the toy section.  He was doing fairly well with it.  Then we let him try several toys.  We bought him a small school bus that he liked rolling on the floor.  He likes school buses because they are "just like what Daddy drives!" 

Then we let him pick the ice cream and we went home to make milk shakes.  

Jonathan is getting so big.  He will be turning three on Thursday.  Time goes by fast.  I don't want Jonathan and Elijah to feel like they are living in the shadows of their elder siblings.  So we use any opportunity we can to build happy memories for all of our children. 


This week will be another busy week full of memory building opportunities.  We will be doing a lot of fall cleaning in preparation for some furniture we will be receiving from my sister and her husband.  We have a field trip this week with some other families in our homeschool group.  I'll try to remember my camera and post some pictures.  We will be voting tomorrow.  Then there will be Jonathan's birthday on Thursday.  And our karate class will be meeting in a new location.

I should be able to find time to blog though.  Be watching for updates and pictures.
