Water, Planes, and Squanto

 Lots of things to report on here at the Abel's House.  We went to an air show and ended up playing in Centennial Olympic Park because it was beyond full, only to end up driving back over the next day to try again.  This time we got in and the kids had a ball.  Seriously, at an air show.....you would think these people have never seen an air plane take off or land.  But I must admit to see the look on Grayson and Colbie's faces were priceless.  They both loved it!

Gearing up for Halloween we have been through the following costumes : batman, transformer, popeye, daddy, back to batman, finally settling on Popeye.  Whew!  Can wait to see them dressed up - nothing fancy but cute none the less.  Popeye and Olive Oyl and of course a baby doll as sweet pea.  Although we prepared for the Popeye and Olive Oyl Colbie decided on a last minute change to wear to school from a build-a-bear lying on the floor.  Seriously!  However everything turned out fine the next day for the fall festival and the two of them had a ball.  Round three came Sunday night when I took them over to my parents to trick-or-treat while we had our small group at our house - with no even one trick-or-treater.

 

Lately Grayson has been cracking me up with the things he says.  Here is just a small sample of the many things I could go on and on about.

I yelled at him about something and I asked him to forgive me explaining I was wrong for yelling.  He at first said a quick yes and then came back and said , "Umm no I don't forgive you because only God can forgive your sins and since I'm not Jesus I can't do that.  Sorry mommy!"  Then went into trying to explain to me that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are kind of the same but the are separate too. WOW - step back and think Jessie you haven't talk to him about this because I just thought he really sn't old enough yet.  He is learning this from school.  Proof he does pay attention and pick up stuff.  Since then we have been reading his bible like crazy and he loves it.  No really he asked Jason and I to read all the time to him and what better book to read than God's word.


 On a much lighter note my nephew for some reason calls pooping a "squanto" (gee I wonder were that came from Uncle Josh).  So he decided it was time for Grayson to know what that meant and he told him.  Of course Grayson said no it's not called that.  After a few back and forth debates Grayson told me that he asked Mrs. Peek.  Yep, that's right he took the debate to the teacher for a final word on what squanto meant.  The final word being from Mrs. Peek......"That Squanto was a person in history a long, long time ago Grayson!"  And with that Grayson told me he told Tyler, "See I told you it wasn't poop!"
