All on a Sunday

Noah had his first communion today. So, yes, I totally whipped out my camera for the occasion.  I hope that wasn't sacrilegious. Are we sure there weren't any there at the original Lord's Supper? 


And since our SS class was responsible for set up and clean up for that communion, Anna enjoyed more than one little cup of juice after church as well.


The leaves continue to be stunning!


I started a new project - this bench/toy box I snagged for $10. Josh cleaned it out, bought some hinges and...


Anna got busy with the priming.  I'll take over the painting this week in a mint green of Anna's choosing since this pretty little thing is headed for her room.


Noah adopted three new pets - a roly poly, a grasshopper, and a ladybug.  He also escorted two grandaddy long-leg spiders off the porch with his bare hands!  In related news, I added a bug cage to his Christmas list.


And we finally packed up all the Thomas stuff to sell.  Noah is ready to let them go in the name of upgrading to more Lego sets.   It was a little bittersweet organizing it all while he rested.  We can so vividly remember our little 2 1/2 year old baby when he got his first trains in the mail from Aunt Kathy shortly after we moved here.  Oh the hours and hours of train trance whereby he sat spellbound at his train table!


This part of the collection is what Noah has to sell.  The rest goes back to FL to Aunt Kathy to keep for her grandbabies one day. :)


Oh yeah, Chewie got his second bath of the year today after I caught him rolling in dead mouse.  Lovely.  I did not get a picture of that for you.  I don't know what I was thinking!  :}

Love the pic of Noah's first communion (and his sister partaking of the "blood" just a few more times afterwards).
Such sweet babies.

Jacob had his first communion a few weeks ago and I didn't even think to take a picture. Noah's so cute! UGH! Great thinking there:-) A good reminder for me to pull out Jacob's train sets and get them ready to sell. Oh the memories those bring back.

Are you sure you want to sell the trains? Did you not see the discussion on my FB after I posted about selling them? Sheesh. That'll make you think twice!
