Yesterday, Mike attended an all day seminar with workshops held at the Radisson. It’s a big fundraiser for a nonprofit in Kalamazoo and they bring in big speakers from around the nation on a variety of topics. Anyway, Mike received a goody bag with some cool books and other swag. One of the items was…
Is it a good or a bad thing that Hayden and Violet are without shirts playing in soapy water in the middle of January? I vote the former. They seem to be having fun.
Oh, dress up. Our kids love to dress up. In an effort to get Hayden to go to bed so she can have her Hello Kitty bracelet back, Violet yells, “you don’t want to be EXHAUSTED, do you? If you stay up late you’re going to be exhausted!”
A few nights back Violet had a leg cramp so we put the heating pad on her. Once Hayden found out why Violet had to use the heating pad he suddenly had sore muscles all over his body. Here is a picture of Hayden making his “sore” arms feel better.
The other night Violet and I were practicing math. I started by having her add 2+7 and subtract numbers like 5-3. Then we made it tricky. We started doing 1+3-1 and so on. Then it was Violet's turn to challenge me with some problems. I got some pretty tricky ones using mental math, but I…
Today Hayden and I went to the dentist for his routine month checkup. Hayden loved playing with the suction tube. He is probably verging on severe dehydration due to the amount of fluid that he sucked out of his mouth. As the hygienist was cleaning his teeth with the pick she found a stain on…
Last night as I was making dinner, Violet walked in from the living room holding her nose. I asked her what was wrong and she told me that she thought her nose was broken. I asked her why she said that and she proceeded to move her nose back and forth. Each time her nose…
Monday was a very. long. day. It started out like a normal Monday, but by the time evening arrived, it was more trying than most. Mike picked up the kids from daycare and as soon as the kids walked through the door, Hayden was crying. Not his, ‘I’m hungry and ready for dinner and tired…
After a long night at Magic Kingdom we awoke early (relatively) to go to Hollywood Studios. The first thing that we did was to get the kids signed up for the Jedi Training Academy. This is where the kids could dress up and be a Jedi. After waiting in line to get signed up we…
The other day Hayden got a time out. Generally Hayden is a good kid, but this isn’t anything too noteworthy. What was unique about this timeout was why he received it. He received the timeout because he threw a vacuum at Violet. In all of my days on this earth I have never been made…
