Evelyn's favorite activity these days: puzzles. . .over and over and over again!
Her constant phrases: "No. . no. . .no" even when she means yes and "Me-me" which means Mommy. It becomes "Me-maw" when she gets frustrated that I'm not paying attention to her!

Thoughts on baby

Last night as he was getting out of the shower, Josiah wanted to know what kind of baby I had in my tummy. "You mean like boy or girl?" I asked. "Yes. Teygen's mommy is having a boy and the kids in my class want to know what you're having." When I told him that I didn't know, it was going to be a surprise, he was quite upset b/c the kids in his class really wanted to know. He asked if I could call the nurse and find out so he could tell them. . .when I persisted in telling him that I wanted to be surprised, he wasn't so happy with me!!

Nesting. . .who knew it could last 3 months??

Neighborhood Entertainment = Bundt boys

So, I'm on the phone with Crystal a few days ago. Simeon, Ezra, & Evelyn are outside playing. I'm keeping an eye on them from the front windows. Suddenly, I see Ezra pull down his pants and start peeing. I dash out the front door, get Ezra to pull up his pants and come inside. Simeon and Evelyn follow to see what all the commotion is about. "Ezra, we don't go to the bathroom outside! You may only go outside when you are at the farm."

Crystal is laughing hysterically on the other end of the phone. Then I turn to Simeon and say, "Simeon, you haven't been going outside have you?" Simeon looks a little bit sheepish and says, "Well, not very often." What??!!

When I recover, Crystal tells me this story that my Dad shared with her. Dad got a phone call from his pastor, Jon, maybe a week ago. Pastor Jon was laughing so hard that Dad could hardly understand him. Finally, he says that he was driving by the Bundt house and witnessed one of the boys "watering the plants."

Oh my. What have a been missing. . .

Farm Musings. . .

Josiah spent the past weekend at the farm with Grandpa and Grandma Bundt. They spent a morning cutting down trees at Joel's aunt's home. Apparently, Josiah was asking Grandpa Bundt a lot of questions. Grandpa said, at one point, "Josiah, you sure ask a lot of good questions." Josiah replied, "Well, when you have a Grandpa who is a farmer, you have to take advantage of every opportunity!" Uhhh, is he only seven?
