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…
We went up to see grandparents this weekend. After a great pancake breakfast at Paula and Ray’s, we packed up the kids and headed up to do some sledding. Violet and Hayden had a blast sledding with Grandpa Chuck. Since it was cold and VERY windy, we stayed inside for the afternoon. Hayden and Violet…
Hayden sure does love his routines. At night, he has to read Goodnight Moon while holding his blanket (kampy) after brushing his teeth and drinking a glass of water. Tonight, however, i could not find Goodnight Moon. He didn’t want anything else – at all – but certainly wanted his story. Since I’ve read the…
Hayden continues to set the table (See original). This morning Hayden wanted protein. He went into the corner cupboard and reached for the peanut butter. Since one isn’t enough, he went for a second. When he put it on the table, he proudly exclaimed “two pea bah” for two peanut butters. We now know the…
Today, Libby and I got a health screening at Stryker. Usually Libby and I do this over lunch, but this year, the timing didn’t work out so we did it at 5:30. Since we did it at 5:30, Violet and Hayden were in tow having fun at Stryker. To keep the kids quiet while we…
I got home from my swim to eat a bowl of cereal and found evidence of what I assume is Hayden setting the table. He helps Libby in the morning by going to the pantry and setting the table by grabbing random food. Today he obviously wanted fruit.
Fuji Apple Sprout It has been almost two weeks since we planted the seeds. Nothing has sprouted, so Libby and I were thinking about composting the dirt and “broken” seeds. We were hesitant to, however, since Violet has been checking them every day and asking us when they were going to sprout. The answer to…
