School Carnival

On May 6th, the children had the school carnival.It was fun night for all. I have to point out something pretty amazing about our oldest child, Nick.

Do you see the giraffe he is holding in the picture and the really happy face on Ben. Here is the story behind that. The first thing we did when we got there was get our hot dog dinner and sit down to eat. While we were sitting there Nick looked over to the prize table which was setting a few feet away and saw the giraffe. Ben loves giraffes so Nick instantly decided to earn enough points to buy it for him. And he did. Ben was very happy! Nick proceeded to stay by Ben's side the entire night. They were inseparable. Even when Nick's school friends came up to him asking him to join them, he would either saw no thanks and explain that he was hanging with Ben or take Ben along with him. He also used all his points to buy prizes for his brothers. He really spoils them. I told Nathan that if Ben and Andrew end up spoiled it will not be our fault, it will be Nick's!

It had been less than a week since my leg surgery so Nathan was in charge of Andrew the whole night. They both had a great time! And that zebra they are holding...also from Nick!

I will say that Tatiana is also very sweet to her brothers and was helping out a lot that night. We are very blessed with kids who all love each other very much! How did we get so lucky?!?!
