Tonight was game night. Violet and Hayden started out playing the penguin fishing game while Libby and I cleaned up in the kitchen. After I heard the gears grind on the game, I decided to intervene. We played the fishing game for a bit until Hayden decided it was time to put it away. After…
Mike alluded to the fact that he gave in when Hayden “requested” he lay down with him in his new bed. I think that he was just really tired and knew that Hayden’s bed was more comfortable than sitting in his rocking chair. I will say, however, Hayden is doing a great job sleeping in…
Hayden and Violet usually come downstairs after they get dressed to have a baba beebee (vitamin) and watch some PBS kids. Today Hayden got up, got dressed, but didn't come downstairs. Expecting the worst, I walked up stairs to assess the damages. To my surprise, Hayden was playing choo choo train by himself. He made…

Violet completed her first 5k in just under 40 minutes on Sunday. What I forget to mention, is that it was on her bike and we took a break half way through at the store. Regardless, she had to cross 2 very busy roads (4 total since we had to head back) and go down…

On Tuesday, we went to Bob Evens (down on the farm!) for dinner since Mike was training at the Fetzer Center for work. Dinner went really well partly due to the fact that we got both kids chocolate milk with really long bendy straws. The kids both wanted breakfast for dinner, so we got them the…
In an effort to get some energy out before bed, we had the kids race down the stairs. This went on for a while before we took a video, and it continued after for a little bit. Violet even had to change into some better “fast pants” so she could go faster and protect her…
