Lord of the Flies

3/20/11

          The Waugh boys had an excellent day yesterday and they wanted me to share it with you.  They started their day off by watching cartoons, which let’s be honest, they would do ALL DAY if not for my wonderful mothering skills!  After that we split up.  Chars went with Dad to get flowers for the yard while Ben and Ellodie went with me to the bookstore for story time.  I am sure this is not going to come as a surprise to anyone…..Ben picked out a book about a Dragon.  He loved it because it came with a 3-D puzzle of a “frost dragon” that Scott and I are STILL trying to figure out how to put together.   So when we got home, the boys got geared up to dig in the yard with Dad and I snuggled with Ellodie, which I would do ALL DAY if not for life getting in the way. All the neighborhood kids ended up in the yard “helping” Scott plant flowers.  I always think it is soooo funny when he gets focused and ready to get a project done and something like that happens!  At any rate, the flowers did eventually get planted and it looks beautiful. 

     Finally that night, the kids from the neighborhood got together at the Pittman’s house and played.  We have way too many boys on this street and when they get together it is hilarious.  Scott included the video below of them all on the trampoline.  He has been referring to the entire evening as “Lord of the Flies”. 

    

 On a sad note, the bird from the wreath on the front door has abandon its nest.  We hope it comes back but at least I can change it to a spring motif!

I just didn't want to leave her out! Token Elloide pic!
