Yes, this is outside in the middle of November. Einar in particular was a bit cold until he became more excited about the prospect of painting pudding all over (especially his tongue). However, I must note that this past week we did have temperatures in the mid 80's around here. My friend Marianne invited us over this afternoon for body painting and we just couldn't resist the chance to try it. Once the kids were done, they spent some time in the bathtub. I got to cross one more thing off of my to-do list the day before a big trip: a clean Einar.
Other new and exciting adventures include Jared teaching the boys how to make a fort out of our couch cushions. You can see that they even got the cushion off of my nursing chair.
Soren is keeping his eyes on what is going on so that he can be a part of it.
Last Friday night we went to the 233rd Marine Corps Birthday Ball with Jared's Battalion. We got all dolled up--new dress, hot rollers, even make-up. We had a good time and weren't in any danger of falling asleep like one of our table companions did in the following picture:
This is the Marines in the ceremony presenting the cake and having the oldest Marine and the youngest Marine eat the first pieces. This year Jared escaped being the oldest one there to eat the cake because there was a guy in his late 70's who was in attendance. Last year since the ball was only for his company instead of an entire battalion, that honor fell to him.
Can you believe these pictures were taken in the Walmart Parking lot? We've been having gorgeous sunsets this past week!
