Random Happenings...

-We decided to go for a good old fashioned Sunday drive the other day. The leaves are all turning colors, so we grabbed the camera, climbed in the van and headed down the road. We were driving on a road that goes along the river enjoying the views when we saw a flock of blackbirds in the middle of the road. As we got closer the birds started to fly away, only they weren't quick enough. They flew right in front of us. There were a ton of them and it reminded me of that movie we watched in 9th grade English,"The Birds", which totally gave me nightmares. Anyway, we left at least 4 or 5 of them dead in the road and I don't know how many more injured. Then we got to an overlook where we stopped to take pictures, only to discover that I had forgot to put the memory card back in the camera! Oops! So much for a nice Sunday drive.
-This morning Jared asked me when I was going to make some homemade wheat bread. I said I was nervous to try it because I have never been very good at kneading, and I was afraid the bread would turn out heavy. Pason piped up "Don't worry Mom, I'm strong. It won't be too heavy for me!"
-We were at the park with some friends and one of my friends told me that she had tried and tried to teach her daughter to pump, with no sucess, but that she had just been informed that Pason had taught Bailey to pump because he is, in his own words, "an expert pumper".
