With two young kids, there never seems to be more than moments of silence – and those times are generally when they are sleeping or eating (only when they get started eating, however). So, when there comes some time when I don’t hear either of them, it makes me nervous. There was one point the…
These kids are really awesome. Tonight, however, they hovered between the two extremes of being super cute and behaved and crazy, loud, or screaming. At one point, Violet is crying her little eyes out in time-out (for hitting one of the cats!) and Hayden will not leave her alone, yelling “s’ok, Bobby! s’ok!” and trying…

We were having some apples the other day, and Violet asked if we could grow some trees from the apple seeds. Since Violet LOVES science experiments, we decided to go ahead and attempt to grow some trees! We started out by putting the seeds in a ziploc bag with some wet paper towel. A few…
