This morning, both kids were just little pistols. Sometimes that’s a little infuriating when I just want to get to work, but this morning it was just so darn cute, I couldn’t help but laugh along with them. They both decided that they were going to pick out their own clothes. Violet did a really…
This morning Hayden hapagee geed (had to go pee). He was squatting down grunting. Listening to this, I quickly rushed him to the bathroom and sat him on the potty. After two drops of pee came out, he said that he was all done. Realising the being done debate was not one that I was…
This morning, Hayden woke up happy as ever. As we were getting ready for work, Hayden said “Kiss Mama…” Being a loving mother, Libby went to give Hayden a kiss and he abruptly said “Kiss Watch Mama…” He was wearing my watch on his arm. For the next few minutes, he was giving big loud…
For a while, both kids were healthy for an extended period of time. This all ended when I went to Puerto Rico. After I left, I found out that Violet and Hayden both had a respiratory bug. Needless to say, they didn’t sleep very well. Hayden started getting better last week and is now pretty much back…
This morning was all about cleaning (and playing). We got the kitchen and family room all cleaned up with some dumping of toys throughout. In addition to picking things up, Violet was helping do laundry. She put clothes in the washer and dryer and helped to hang them as well. After hanging and buttoning several…
Since the kids have been sick, they have been watching TV at night and resting on the couch. Tonight, they were feeling better so we left the TV off. They were playing bounce on the big yellow ball and golf. After Hayden went to bed, Violet and I decided to bead. She made a necklace…
Sometimes, I realize that I cannot anticipate every conversation with a three-year old. Here’s a summary from the other day while driving home from daycare: Violet: Is glass fragile? Me: Yes Violet: How fragile? Me: Well, if you drop it, it could break. Violet: Are the car windows made of glass? Me: (starting to grasp…
I’ll just start off saying that the kids love this ‘holiday’! Violet has been looking forward to it for a while, and Hayden, well, he’s working on saying it. “Birfdaytines” is what he said all day at daycare – which sounds just as adorable as you would imagine it sounds. We decided to ‘celebrate’ Valentines…
I had every intention of blogging each day while Mike was in Puerto Rico so he could see all of the awesome things the kids were doing, but as you can see, that didn’t happen. As Mike said though, we were able to talk to him on the phone each day and the kids made…
I left for Puerto Rico Sunday February 5th and was there until Friday. I had a great time there training and seeing the sights, but I missed the whole family and wished that they were there too. While I was there, I got to talk with Violet and Hayden several times on the phone. Hayden…
