    A look into our future: definitely getting side by side rockers that we can put right in front of the TV! 🙂

    Our Happy Dude!

    Working on Donkey Kong Jr!

    Julia! Julia comes over most Monday afternoons and helps with my kids! Sometimes I’m away at scouts, other times I’m home or run some errands. The kids love playing with her and love the attention.

    If my hair would stay like this for more than 15 minutes then I would probably curl it more often…

    My girls LOVE NERTZ! makes me a happy mom. I need to clear my schedule and play with them more.

    The Car and Track are still a favorite:

    Benji and Nick playing some Mario – this kid never invites friends over so I thought it should be documented 🙂

    Funny kids at prayer time. Singing and dancing and wacking each other with sticks:

    Benji’s latest interest is the Rubix Cube! He got on UTube and taught himself how to solve it!

    and these are a few of his favorite things… Pacifier, milk, and chips. If you leave the pantry open, he will find chips and beg until you let him eat them.

    Millie and her glasses

    No Comments

    I went out with friends last Wednesday and expressed my concerns about my moody and tired 3 year old. The next morning I decided to try to get her to wear her glasses and see if that would make any difference in her behavior.

    She has worn them all week! She has loved the attention that I am giving her for being a big girl and keeping them on. (the daily prizes are definitely helping as well)

     

    So, she is still napping daily. Which is only surprising because she hasn’t napped for a year and a half since she turned 2. But she is falling asleep on the couch most afternoons. She has been a little bit nicer and less moody but not a complete turn around yet.

      

    So, I am excited that she is wearing the glasses and napping. Overall, I think she has had a better week! I think this week will be the struggle because it’s not a novelty anymore. I’m thinking of some good bribes and we’ll see what happens.

    NOW, a week later – she hasn’t worn the glasses for 2 days – she LOST them in the toy room and I keep forgetting to go get them. I’m still undecided if the glasses are helping but I have decided to keep trying to get her to wear them and to try to get her to nap everyday.
