3 Posts for the Price of 1

Warning: This post is not terribly exciting, just a recap, mostly in pictures, of the events of the past week.

1.In an attempt to cure Nash of his obsessive compulsive tendencies I bought a truck load of finger paint this week. He has issues with being sticky and/or wet. I thought finger paints might be a fun way to get him sticky and wet in a good way. He actually had a great time. Atley painted the birdhouse he made in preschool, notice the adorable Home Depot Smock that his teacher gave him for being so artistic. You will also notice in the pictures that I painted my walls, orange or marmalade as Atley likes to call it.




2. Atley's preschool has a club called PRO. This acronym stands for Preschoolers Reaching Out. They meet once a month and do some type of service. This week the children got together and learned some songs to preform at the nursing home near the school. Atley and Nash are the only boys involved in PRO and the only kids who actually sang at the nursing home. Everyone else was a little weirded out by the old people. My boys are fortunate enough to have so many great-grandparents still alive-old people don't freak them out too much. I have to say, I think they stole the show, especially when Nash flashed the crowd in the middle of one number happily exclaiming, "Hey, look at my tummy!"





3. Saturday we went to the Department of Defense Airshow at Andrews Airforce Base. It was exciting and exhausting. We were able to look at and walk through tons of cool Airforce and Navy jets and helicopters, including the Memphis Belle, some of the Presidential Aircraft and Atley's favorite plane the L-1011. The Thunderbirds performed and the noise was deafening especially to Nash who told us how much his eyes hurt when the planes flew over. He seems to get his eyes and ears mixed up on occassion. It was a fun day, for my two little aviation fanatics.
