Bet you thought I'd given up and you'd never know what the boys did the rest of the week! Like I said before, I'm determined! They might be in 3rd and 1st grades when I finish this week, but I will finish! 
"This is where my gum went....down down down to my tummy!" On Wednesdays, I sometimes take Jack to the library for story time. On our way there, Jack reminded me why we have a "No Gum Until You Are Four" Rule.
Before the story...
Jack's craft. The theme of story time was The Farm, so we made a horse hat.
"What's for lunch?"
Working on our centerpiece for dinner.
Leaving for church, Owen got hurt getting into the car and needed an ice pack. I think he hit his hand on the basketball post, but I'm not sure.
At Wednesday night church.
At Chick-fila after church. Milkshakes!
Time to get ready for bed! Owen made that crown in Bible class. He said that he was never going to take it off except for school, baths, and sleeping...he forgot by the next morning.

And Jack built a row of sharks!
Jack played on the computer while I worked on organizing the meal for the college students for the next Monday.
The weather was so nice we decided to open up the windows. Jack had fun talking to 
Then it was

While I fixed his snack, Owen checked on his sea monkeys. He started out with about six - 
Because Owen stayed on green at school the week before (mostly), he was rewarded with a family picnic at the park for dinner. While eating our 
After our moment of fame (really, Nick did all the talking), we got to play!
Jack's favorite outdoor activity: dirt anything.
On Mondays, Jack and I run errands with Nick for the campus meal. About 60 college students come to the campus house for lunch on Mondays. We go the grocery store and the restaurants to pick up food and supplies, and then we eat lunch with the college students. Jack loves playing with Austin and Ashley (a college couple). They are really good sports and build tents for him out of blankets. They also don't mind when Joey (Jack's stuffed dog) bites them and calls them "stupid" (a very bad word).
Owen loves spending time on the computer. He is really getting good at it.
Jack is ready for soccer!
Owen is finishing off a bag of apple slices for his afternoon snack.
Jack's soccer practice is really cute because Nick does it with him. He didn't like soccer practice at first, but that all changed when we started bribing them with suckers!
Jack loves to run during Owen's practice. Sometimes he runs a little too far though. The little white dot just to the right of the girl in the pink shirt is Jack. The tall parent is Nick using gestures to tell him to come back. 
Bribery.
Dinner was peach pancakes and scrambled eggs. Owen requested a hard boiled egg. This was a very special night because we finished off that bottle of syrup. The boys have been looking forward to this for a long time because they wanted that Mrs. Butterworths bottle. 
The boys took baths after dinner, and we did the whole bedtime routine. Mondays are fun but exhausting! 
Moments later, the boys were hypnotized by Curious George on the DVD player.
Here is Jack not wanting to go to Sunday School.
Owen was happy to go to his class today.
During church, the boys drew pictures, colored, and read books that Sophie brought. Jack likes to drive his cars on the map that we drew a while back. He keeps it in his backpack along with crayons, cars and trucks. old bulletins that I shoved in there, and random books from Chick-
We ate lunch at home today which is different because we usually eat out on Sunday. Today we had fish sticks, baked beans, corn, and shortbread cookies. While Jack took his nap, Owen and I flew kites and picked up acorns. Jack gets to do stuff like that with me when Owen is at school during the week, so it was really nice to spend some time with Owen by ourselves.
Nick was a sweet sweet husband and let me take a nap while he hung out with Owen (who usually refuses to nap now that he is a big kid). Soon it was time to get up from our naps and get ready for evening church. Jack was silly and decided to act like he was still sleeping...
...but Owen had fallen asleep! He was so grumpy when he woke up. 
After evening church, we drove to the
