Impressive!!
So last week I asked Elijah and Caden to clean their rooms and make their beds. I do this often, but on this particular day the "cleaning bug" must have been in Elijah. After his room was cleaned and bed made, he came down stairs and asked me for the sweeper. He wanted it upstairs. So I gladly took it to him. He vaccumed the entire upstairs for me, picking up any toys or clothes that were along the way. Then I brought the vaccum downstairs and he took it to the laundry room and began sweeping in there. I was in awe of how good of a job he was doing and he did it without me asking him to!!! After the sweeping was done, he asked me for the swiffer and he mopped the hard floor surfaces. He did the upstairs bathroom, the front wood entry, the laundry room and hallway and the basement bathroom floors. Of course I couldn't let this pass by so I snapped several pictures. Soon he was "finished". I think the "cleaning bug" left him cause he never made it to the kitchen:). He was done. I thanked him for his hard work and told him how much that helped me out. I then decided to reward him with 2$ for his hard work. THANK YOU SON!!!
Random Happenings
** I had lots of posts to catch up on, so make sure to check out the other two posts I put up tonight along with this one(a total of 3 posts)**
On memorial day we had the honor of going to Westfall's house for a fun day of food and play. The kids really enjoyed the slip n slide and both of the older boys ended up with a bit of to much sun.
The adults sat around and talked in the shade. We really had a great time and look forward to next year's gathering.
Liam's first time with arm floaties on. He did great. He can touch the bottom of our pool so that makes for some fun times walking around and splashing everyone. He LOVES it in the pool and it makes me happy to see him have so much fun.
About two weeks ago Caden accidently slammed little Liam's finger in the door. I instantly knew he was going to loose his fingernail because it turned bluish purple very fast. About a week later his nail was hanging from his skin. Here is a picture of it. We did finally cut the nail off so it would not get caught on something and tear off.
Stay tuned....I have several more post's I still need to put up.

Elijah and Caden read all the book requirments this year during school and not only got Book Its for pizza hut each month, but they also got Indiana Beach tickets for themselves and 3 guests so we had a FREE day at Indiana Beach.
I don't do rides very well....I get so sick, but thankfully nick can handle amusement park rides well. Thus he gets the honor of going on all the rides with the boys. Here they are on the scrambler....PUKE!!!
Liam even enjoyed the rides. Last year he didn't ride to many of them, but this year he was all over them...wanting on every ride and sad when they stopped.
Caden getting in on the action....I think at one point even Elijah was riding the kiddie rides.
Ok, so I ended up going on THREE rides. One was the large farris wheel...and guess what....I felt sick to my stomach afterwards. I think I will just plan on keeping my feet on the ground.
I was planning on going on the chair ride that takes you across the park, but I wasn't allowed to have my purse with me, so I didn't go. I sat and waited for the boys. It was probably best cause I bet I would have gotten sick on that too:).
