Random Catch-up

Talmage is a silly guy. His ESL english is so funny to me.
For example:

These guys have skateboards!” –Talmage, admiring Thomas’ plastic army men

· I asked him the other day, “Do you want to go potty?” He answers, “No, I’ll just wait for it to get in my diaper.” (As you can see, we might be lacking motivation.)

· I was walking around the house yelling, “Mom, Mom” and Talmage asks me, “Hey Mom, where is that other Mom?”

· We brought my mom’s van to playgroup because I wanted to bring a couple of extra kids with us, when I buckled Talmage in, he told me, “Ah, mom! This van is TOO cool for me.” Yes, it is a very cool van. Just like when he calls our Subaru, ‘the white race car’.

HHe also thinks he can do big things. He follows me around all day wanting to 'help'. He loves to help, from stirring a bowl to vacuuming the floor to getting all the games out so we can play one of them. The other day while he was supposed to be napping, I found him on our bed with our candy stash. "Hey mom, I got a lot of candy!" He was very proud of himself. Truston had the first week in October off. We enjoyed a little stacation. We spent a lot of time outside, the weather was SOOO beautiful (now we are back to hot and humid 90's).

We visited the Blue Bell Creamery. Talmage LOVED it. As we walked around the factory, he kept exclaiming, "OOOOKKAAAYYY! TIME FOR ICE CREAM!!" He wore their little paper hat the whole day. Logan didn't love the hat, but he loved the ice cream. Logan eats more food than most adults. Actually, whatever Talmage and I eat combined, Logan eats all by himself. He is voracious, and has a little belly to prove it.
We spent a day down at Galveston. We rented a family bike and biked along the sea wall. It was so awesome. I would replace my car with that awesome family bike. As you can see, Logan and Talmage were having trouble enjoying it as much as Truston and I. It was so fun to have Truston home for a whole week. He really enjoys school and his classes, but it's always nice to take a break.
In other news, we've found some awesome garage sale finds. Here, people have all their festivals and garage sales in the fall, it's way to hot in the summer. We got a bunch of cute clothes for Talmage (pictured) and a bike!! Talmage loves his little bike. At any mention of the word 'bike' he is outside in a flash, getting ready to ride. We also found a bike trailer. It is my new favorite thing! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! Cinco Ranch has tons of lakes and natural areas with side walks around them. We have gone on plenty of bike rides and I'm looking forward to a whole winter of exploring.
