B&M WHITING CLAN: It's Official!

Our greatest news is that Bryant got the new route at FedEx. He will have a guaranteed 30 hours every week now instead of 20 :) This won't take effect for another month as he works to get his CDL and then attend the FedEx safety course. He will likely have to leave the state for a week during that time and we will certainly miss him. Our children are so accustomed to praying that Bryant can get the route (or more hours) that they have continued to pray for it even after he got the route. As a result, Bryant had lots of hours last week! He worked more than a normal week's hours by Wednesday. We were grateful for his day off on Thursday to be able to spend so much time with him!

We had mini-pizzas for dinner this past week. The children had lots of fun decorating their own pizzas.

I was also an amazing teacher one day and we made this letter tree. Capital letters are in the tree and lower case are on the ground. The children had lot of fun putting all the letter up. Even Gunnar got to help, Hunter identified the letter and if it was lower case he gave it to Gunnar to put on the "ground." The letters were supposed to be leaves in fall colors falling from the tree but I knew I would never accomplish the task if I waited to make letter leaves

This is Gunnar's favorite place in the house! He loves to sit and look out the window for dogs! One of our neighbors(ish) is letting their dog spend more time out in their fenced front yard so Gunnar gets excited every time he is able to find and spot it!

I wasn't feeling the best on Friday so I spent much of the morning laying the couch while Hunter, Brylee, and Gunnar played. It was a beautiful day outside so to make it up to them I decided to take them on a picnic when Tucker got home from school. They were all super excited and it helped me get up and moving. We had lots of fun playing in the sand and then on the playground, in hopes of shaking all the sand off :)

Here is a game Tucker was having fun playing and Gunnar really wanted to join in! http://youtu.be/lH78p-vTgNA

Hunter was super excited to get really close to this duck before it waddled off http://youtu.be/RZMaoT3Rxhw

Last week the kids were having fun dancing like robots. By the time I thought to get the camera they were not dancing so much like robots as just being silly, except Tucker who was being a slow robot.
