porch mischief

This morning Dennis woke me up walking around and singing "H-E-R-O, God is my hero!". So cute. He is so enjoying vacation bible school. Tonight for crafts he painted a picture frame shaped like a flip flop. He was so proud of it. I am amazed that more paint didn't get on all those little 3 and 4 year olds during arts and crafts time!

We stayed at the lake last night so that we could get some things done at the lake today. David accomplished a plumbing job and I got a little bit of painting done at Grandma's lake house. My plan was to paint while Dennis was asleep, but this didn't really work out for me. The first time I heard him come out onto the porch, he said "Mommy come see my tattoos!" and I dropped my paint brush and ran over to see that he had colored all over himself with a pen. I put him back down to bed and went back to my painting, and then I heard "Mommy, there are lots of bugs out here, and I am going to spray them." I ran over again in time to watch as he just finished emptying a can of wasp and hornet spray on the floor boards of the porch. He didn't get it anywhere on himself, thank goodness, but it gave me such a scare that I didn't leave him alone again.

We had a late night tonight! I've been enjoying his sleeping later in the mornings since we've been going so long every day.
