Liam-isms

Liam went on a Cabela's adventure with Uncle Copter and Daddy on Saturday! He has been there once before and kind of remembers that, but he was much more excited this time around! I asked him what he did at Cabela's (aka "the hunting store") and he said, "We went inside and saw all kinds of different animals!" He even had two postcards of the store with pictures of the animals that he carried around with him for the rest of the weekend! The highlight of the trip was their visit to the "gun library." Liam is very careful around guns and has been taught that they are not for kids. We do come from a family of hunters, though, so he has taken a keen interest in hunting as well. He walked through the gun library with uncle and daddy.

He saw a big rifle and said, "When I get bigger can I touch that?"

They assured him that he could.

"I will hold it and I will boom a buck!" he said.

I guess a Cabela's employee was right behind them and heard all about Liam's plan to "boom" the buck. He got a big kick out of it!

Both Liam and Max stayed at Ron and Meg's on Saturday so Aaron and I could go to dinner and have a night of peace (and sleep!) before school starts and things get crazier! One thing we were able to do while the boys were gone was switch rooms around (again!). Liam now has his own room with most of his toys, Max has his own room, and Aaron and I have the upstairs. It's kind of cozy up in the attic and we're hoping to keep it warm enough in the winter to prevent frostbite! It tends to get subzero up there!

Anyway, we told Liam about his new room when we picked him up on Sunday and he was super excited to see it. We got home and he ran into his room and said "Oh, THANK YOU, Mom!" He looked at all of his toys and said "Thanks for bringing my toys in here, Mom!" (He did thank Daddy, but I was the only one in the room at this point!). He kept going in and out of his room all night saying "Oh, THANK YOU!" each time. It was adorable. I love that kid.
