"Dennis, don't wipe your nose on the bottom of your shirt!". "But, Mom, that's what YOU do!". Busted. His Daddy hastened to my defense, remarking that Mommy wouldn't do that if there were tissues or napkins or any available alternative! But yes, I've been known to do such on a hike or in desperation on the playground (though it's not the bottom of my shirt!).
After our super fun day at school, where we painted with dried corn on the cob, dug for acorns and peanuts in a giant tub of dried beans (because I was the super awesome Discovery Zone substitute teacher today), and joined herds of children from all over town to watch the Birmingham Children's Theater production of Cinderella in our school gym. Again Dennis was tired enough for a 3 hour nap, but not before he donned his Spiderman costume and played on his swingset. I looked out to see him standing on top of his Dad's old Mazda (our lovely lawn ornament), and I told him to get down. He yelled "I'm sorry, Mom, but I'm Spiderman, and Spiderman has to climb things." He did a stint as Batman, too, but that ended when David told him to stop throwing sticks and hitting things and he answered "you can't tell Batman what to do." Batman was stripped of his cape and promptly escorted to bed. He CLEARLY needed a nap!
Tonight we had a family project to work on, decorating a paper turkey feather with things we are thankful for this year. We had great fun working on it all together. He will turn it in to go on his class turkey, and I'm excited to see how all the feathers turn out! For his Thankful Tree today, he said he was thankful for the cat.
