Sleeping boys

I had to put this picture in. When Henry was getting dressed, he grabbed Charles' jeans and put them on. You should have seen his face when he got them pulled up and realized they were WAY too short. I had to take a picture. Maybe capri's will be in style for boys.
Well, I am finally sitting at the computer and it is comnpletely quiet at 8 o'clock. This never happens. The boys were so worn from spending the past few days outside with a lot of extra exercise that it finally caught up with them. I laid down with Charles for about 5 minutes and he was sound asleep. I crawled up to Henry in the top bunk. I laid with him for about 5 minutes and he was sound asleep. All he asked me was, 'Why don't you grow whiskers?' And, then he fell asleep. I don't usually lay with my children until they fall asleep. I usually spend a few minutes with each of them after they are in bed to talk about their day...there was no talking tonight. Of course little Min is a different story. He sleeps great at night...no complaints there. But, he will sleep for only 1/2 hour at a time during the day. I did find out that when I put him in the front-pack he will fall asleep in about 10 minutes, and if he keep him there and move around he will keep sleeping for an hour or longer. My guess is that my little Korean son spent a lot of time in the podaegi in Korea. A podaegi is what Korean women use to attach babies to their back so that they are close when the mom is working around the house or doing errands. If you go back to my blogs from Korea, you can see Andrew in a podaegi with his foster mom. Henry and Charles both loved to be carried in the front pack as well, but they didn't seem to have so much trouble napping outside of it. Oh well. I guess it is a good bonding tool. I feel sort of naked without a baby stuck to me.
This has been our project for the past few days. The boys have been playing in the water for days. We've spent hours floating stick and leaf boats from the driveway to the drain on the corner. We even created a small dam by the mailbox for the boys to wade in . They thought it was great until they forgot that they shouldn't kneel. We did get the dam deep enough for it to be about 1 inch below the top of Charles boots.

We got to attend Baby James dol party. If you go to his blog, you can read all about it and see pictures. It was great fun. The boys didn't want to come home. And, we got to eat Korean food which is always a treat. We were honored to have been invited, and so thrilled to have been able to attend. Thanks Jen and Kelly!! As always, keep James in your prayers as he continues to fight cancer. He's an amazing, strong little boy and he has a wonderful family.
