This and That

Caleb almost set a teddy bear on fire today.

Yes, I'm serious.

I had just pulled a load of clothes from the dryer and was beginning to fold them on the couch when I look up and see Caleb, who has crawled up onto a chair at the kitchen table, dangling poor Blue Bear over a lit candle, preparing to drop him.  I yelled like he was about to catch himself on fire and apparently scared him enough to make him pull the plug on his horrible plan.

He has also pulled a nightstand down on top of him, fallen off a dresser, and busted his nose on the concrete in the past couple weeks alone.  Oh and we can't forget a bloody lip last night that we never discovered the cause of.  Joshua actually isn't so accident prone anymore.  Although, the last thing he did was fall 15 feet from our second story so I'm pretty thankful he's reeled it in some.

Boys.

I've been trying to go through two houses worth of stuff the past couple weeks in an attempt to get ready for a garage sale I'm having this Saturday and it's made me painfully aware of how my babies are not babies anymore.  Bags and bags of clothes that I will never put on another infant.  We decided we were done after Caleb came along so this is not a new concept for me to wrap my head around, but there's something about seeing those tiny clothes and shoes and blankets that reminds you how little they were and no longer are.  All in all though, I'm excited to be cleaning out all of the clutter and getting things more organized around here.  Rosh Hashanah is right around the corner and what better time to get a fresh start on things, am I right?

Speaking of which, we are re-applying for the scholarship that has paid for Joshua's ABA so far.  We aren't sure what our chances are for a renewal but we figured it couldn't hurt to try.  Pray that the progress Joshua has made so far with the program will motivate them to continue helping us.  This would be another huge burden lifted from us.

I plan on writing a post solely devoted to football in the next week or so but I have to make mention of how close the season is.  Just one week left until I get to pull my hair out over the season opener for the NFL and less than four days until the Longhorns kick off their season in NCAA football.  Some people look forward to the holidays, I look forward to this.  It's the most wonderful time of the year, after all.  Or something like that.

Anyway, how is your week shaping up?  Anyone as excited over this upcoming season as I am?
