Helicopter Museum!

Aug. 4-Aug.10, 2008
What a week! On Monday we went to Markward park again and Levi ended up playing in a pile of dirt and sticks with his buddy Charlton and Isaac wet his pants because the bathroom was locked. Its funny because the last time we were at the park Isaac just went off by himself and peed behind a tree. I couldn’t find him anywhere and when I finally saw him, he was walking towards me with his underwear around his knees and his pants down. Ay caramba. He said that some lady told him to “pull up your pants” and he was even able to imitate the great Indian accent that she must have said it in. Pretty funny.
On Monday night we also took the kids to the big fountain on Logan circle and let them “swim” in the water. The love the big turtles and frogs that spray water out of their mouths.
Tuesday was library day and that place was completely insane for storytime. It reminded me of when I did storytime in San Diego and the place would become so packed that I felt like I was yelling when I read the stories.
On Wednesday our new furniture arrived—a sofa, loveseat and recliner (brown mircofiber). The boys call them our “thinking chairs” (from Blues Clues) and they love bouncing all over them and wiping their mocos on them (luckily the mocos wipe off fairly easily).
Thursday was amazing because Jessica Larsen invited us to go to the helicopter museum outside of town and she even gave us a ride. The boys were in heaven. It was a perfect activity because for some reason Isaac has been begging us to go visit a helicopter station. There were tons of old helicopters that the kids could climb into and pretend to fly. The only tough thing was that we couldn’t actually fly up in the sky with the helicopters—both of the boys were a bit disappointed about that.
Friday we went over to campus for the first kids club get together and it was fun to meet some other moms.
One night this week when we sat down to read the Book of Mormon Isaac said, “No, I don’t want to pretend that we’re at church.”

Levi’s favorite book is “A Wocket in my Pocket” and he can finish almost all of the phrases in the book.. His favorite song in Spanish is “Los Pollitos and he can finish the last words of most of the lines in the song.
