The much anticipated wedding!

I received a few emails today about not having pictures up yet! The wedding was SATURDAY, today is Monday. Besides, I had about 600 photos to sort through! I chose some of my favorites which of course is mostly my family! Anyway, it was a great time and all the stories will have to be told in person =) Below are two slideshows- you can hit the little play button in the upper right corner if you want to hear the music too. Oh- and these are the SAME photos as the facebook album.

Animal Wedding

The boys are so excited for the upcoming wedding. Today, Josh was playing wedding all day. This picture was his most recent wedding arrangement. He chose all the animals and who they get to be.

Giraffe is the minister.
Moose is the bride (I don't know why). The shark and larger dinosaurs next to it are the bridesmaids.
Tiny orange dinosaur is the groom, and all the wolf and little dinosaurs next to it are the groomsmen.
The zebra got to be the ring bearer this time. He always makes the animals jump up and down and say, "I want to be ringbearer!" And then he chooses who. Not in the picture :Alligator is almost always an usher.

Mr. Conscientious and Mr. doesn't care

Today at the store I caught Sam and Josh chewing, they admitted to taking a candy corn from the bin and eating it. Well, Sam admitted and said Josh did it too. Josh just giggled. AFter I had the "talk" about how this isn't our food and we didn't pay for it, and what they did was naughty because they stole...I then told them they would need to say sorry and give money when we got to the cashier. Here were the responses:

Sam: Began crying, hard. He said he couldn't do it because he would get in trouble and they might put him in jail. .... Okay, I expected Sam to be upset and not want to do it- that is his character and he is at the age of being focused on right and wrong. I didn't expect so much crying and fear of being in jail!

Josh: He laughed. He didn't care at all. He happily took the money and continued bouncing around. ... Okay, I knew josh wouldn't be as upset as SAm, but I wanted SOME trace of being sorry and understanding that what he did was wrong!

Josh handed the lady the money and said sorry he took candy (I explained it to her). She laughed, (thanks for the help lady!) and said okay...then Sam said sorry too. I then hugged Sam and told him I was very proud of him and that he did the right thing. (Josh was hopping around, still not caring about what he did....)

Sigh. I AM proud of Sam and do feel he learned a lesson. I AM annoyed with Josh, I mean I know he is only 4 but I feel at this age Sam showed some sense of right and wrong!

On a completely different note here are some photos of our Zeke. He is very much in the "I do it myself"stage. Messes and all...Also, he fell and his fingernail was ripped off yesterday! It was horribly bloody and lots of screaming. I know it is just a fingernail and much worse things could happen, but it was still difficult to deal with!
