Sleeping Roosters
If you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
~Proverbs 3:24
The Roosters had a field trip today. Their kindergarten class went to see the play based on the book "Knuffle Bunny." They had the best time. Their teacher, Mrs. Stewart, has proved once again what an amazing teacher she is. Before going to see the show, Nick and John Ryan told me that Mrs. Stewart read the book to them. On the way home today, they were both explaining to me how the play was different from the book. The Roosters kept saying, "Mommy, we have to tell Mrs. Stewart that the play had _____ and the book didn't!" (Mrs. Stewart was absent today and didn't get to attend the trip to see Knuffle Bunny.)
We have some really interesting conversations on our ride home except on the days when the boys are fighting like roosters. After discussing Knuffle Bunny, I told the boys that the Colonel was on crutches because he went to the doctor today. It seems the Colonel is suffering from a heel spur. Nick asked me, "Where did he get his crunches from?" I burst out laughing!
Last night, John Ryan went to Piggly Wiggly with me and got a candy bar. When he got to the car, I asked him if he got one for Nick. He looked so shocked and worried because he had forgotten to get his brother a treat too. I told him he could just give Nick half of the candy and that would be fair. He agreed. Then, the teacher in me came out and I asked him what "half" meant. John Ryan said, "Mommy, half means the same much." Yet another laughable moment for me. Yep, half is the same much!
Here are a few pictures of the boys on the way home today. I love my little roosters. Oldest rooster is sunburned and doesn't want his picture taken.
I've never read Knuffle Bunny before, but the Roosters liked it. I guess I need to add it to our home library.
The Roosters love the "pigeon" books.
This would be John Ryan today on the ride home.
This is the Nick Rooster. Shoulder strap behind him. NOT GOOD! UGH!
Love to see them sleep.
When I got home and tried to get John Ryan out the car, he kept leaning against the door and telling me to just let him sleep.
Colonel and the "helpful" Roosters.
I'm waiting on Nick to try and climb up one of the "crunches." He looks like that is what he is about to do in this photo.
This is another favorite book of the Roosters. I must admit that it is one of my favorites too. It's silly and cute.
The Roosters love David. I think it is because they can relate so well to him. HA!
