This past week the weather has been unseasonably warm, and we've been playing outside a lot. Last week Silas fell running in the bathroom and cut his lower lip pretty badly, and then he decided to go headfirst down a tall slide at the park and cut it up even more. Thankfully he didn't need stitches, and it is healing pretty well now. Mom went away for the weekend on a scrapbooking retreat, so the boys had a fun weekend with Dad.
Ever since Halloween, Silas has been wanting to dress up in his doggie outfit and go door-to-door asking for candy. We went for a walk after supper the other night, and one house had their decorations up, and Silas really wanted to go knock on the door and say "trick-or-treat." When we got back home, I let him knock on our door and then gave him a piece of candy from the Halloween stash. That kid really likes candy. Eli likes the suckers but doesn't care much about the chocolate--he is definitely not like his mother in that way!
I also finally gave them both haircuts (which is not their favorite activity--despite getting to watch a video). The "fall back" time change has thrown their sleeping schedules off a little, so we've been tired this week. Today on the way to Bible study (which is 1/2 hour away), Eli threw up in the car (and we were almost there!), so we turned around and came home. We're hoping that he feels better soon and that the rest of us won't get sick!
Eli and Silas were playing with their wooden building blocks this past week when Eli made this scene. He told me it was the Colorado Rocky Mountains. I thought he did a good job trying to show the layering effect of the mountains and foothills that we see from where we live.

Eli has really been into making silly faces. Here is one of his favorites.
Here is Silas trying to imitate him.

Eli lying on the couch and feeling sick. He did inform me that kids get popsicles when they're sick. Guess I'd better go raid the downstairs freezer!

Amy, what fun for you...a weekend away to scrapbook! Silas must have really had a great time on Halloween! He doesn't want it to be over! I guess Eli takes after his dad as far as chocolate goes...more for you, Amy! I hope Eli is feeling better. Did he get his popsicle? His mountains are really cool! He is so creative and perceptive. Silas is so funny the way he imitates his big brother. Remember the funny face pictures that you took when we were at Keystone, Amy? Nice haircut, Silas! It looks like your lip is getting better!
I love you all and look forward to seeing more of you!

Sounds like you've had a rough, but still fun week. So it goes with kids, huh? Hope you had a chance to get out and enjoy the warm weather too!
Nice job on the haircuts...I feel your pain on that one! :)
