Indian Pow Wow

Today we went to an Indian Pow Pow at Stone Mountain. Dan found an arrowhead in our backyard (he has been looking for 3 years, our neighbor has found a handful of them in his yard). This was so exciting for all of us and ever since then the boys have been into Indians. Rezin has decided that this is the reason he doesn't want to wear shoes, him being an Indian and all. We hope to fine moccasins for him. Anyway, the Pow Wow was SO cool. There was a dancing contest for the Indians and they were amazing. You can feel the pride that these people have for their culture. It made my eyes water a bit:)

Fish Heads in my pocket - Boys # 2

A few weeks ago Rezin came to the house crying he was cold. He was all wet and upset because it was cold. I helped Rezin out of his third outfit by 1pm. As I was taking them off I realized there was something in his pocket. Remember: (I hate the smell of fish). I stuck my hand in his pocket and felt cold, slimy, and I just knew smelly grossness. I pulled out FISH HEADS. My first response was a common one, WHY WHY WHY! Cole said, "Oh yeah those are for our chum bag to catch catfish! The boys let me know that I was overreacting and them showed me a ziplock bag of DEAD fish, lizards, and whatever else that they had been cutting up and saving in the fridge downstairs. I guess catfish like gross, smelly, nastyness. Another reason I don't eat fish. I am sad to say that I don't have pictures of this but, I am also sad to say that I don't think that this will be the last time this happens.
Just picture super cute Rezin and Cole looking at me like I'm the one that is weird and Dan trying not to look at me at all. Punk!!
Dan knew about the fish heads and thought that it was SO funny. He was excited to see my response to the heads in his pocket.

Fall Hiking

We went to the mountains to see some fall leaves. God is so good!!!! We are amazed by His creativity. Nature keeps us all in awe of God. We thank God for kids that notice the little things in nature that we could have missed.

Rezin was the Hulk.

We waited to take a picture until all the kids were done. They were tired and ready to go home after a night of FUN.

Boys and Fire

Ihad tea lights to safely light the pumpkins. But, they had a better idea!! They stuffed the pumpkin with dry grass & hay and then they put burning hot coals from the fire inside. As you can imagine this was very exciting for the ten boys and a few dads at the campout.
