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…
Hayden’s obsession with vacuum cleaners has hit another level. My house has never been quite so well cleaned (at least the carpeted sections of the floor). He asks me to vacuum at least a couple hundred times a day – and if you think I’m exaggerating, check out the video below. This is just 20…
Libby’s attempt to read George Martin’s entire “Song of Ice and Fire” series (well, the first 4 released books, at least) in 14 days was unsuccessful. She got through two and a half of them but had to go to Barnes and Nobel to purchase the last two. While she was there, she got books…
The apple tree continues to grow (Part 1, Part 2). As can be seen from the picture on the right, the original apple tree now has a sibling. The proximity of the two trees with respect to one another is not ideal, but what do you expect when a three and a half year old…
Before hayden lays down for bed, he has to say goodnight to a myriad of items/people. Tonights goodnights included: Hairdryer Vacuum Mixer Teddy Midnight Bobby It sounds like this: Hayden: “Nyny vacuum. Nyny hairdryer. Nyny vacuum. Nyny mixer. Nyny vacuum. Nyny teddy. Nyny vacuum. Nyny midnight. Nyny hairdryer. Nyny Bobby.”me: “goodnight mommy?”Hayden: “No. Nyny vacuum.”…
For anyone who knows our older cat, Skittles, you will know that she hasn’t been the friendliest of cats – especially from the meds she was on for quite a while. She has always been a great cat, just not the kind of cat that would want to be held or sit in your lap….
This past Friday was a ‘no daycare’ day for the kids. Therefore, I stayed home with them. Most days like this, I don’t feel as though I can get much accomplished. Not this time! Not only did we get every room picked up, but we (and I do mean we) managed to get every bit…
