The other night while I was making dinner, Violet and Hayden were playing in the living room being fairly well behaved. All of a sudden, I heard a blood curdling scream come from Violet followed by, “He’s eating my face!” Having absolutely NO idea what this could be, I ran out to the living room…
Last night, Hayden requested Llamas in Pajamas as his first bedtime story of the night. Since that book was in Violet’s room, we all sat on her bed for story time. Violet LOVES that book and LOVES “reading” it to us – especially to Hayden. She read the whole book to us, even with a…
Home with the kids on Friday was a little trying with one sick child and the other wanting that attention. Regardless, I still had to stop in to work to do a few things. Normally, when I take the kids to work, they get into everything. That’s okay sometimes and it usually keeps them busy….
Tonight we had tuna fish sandwiches for dinner. Hayden ate two sandwiches and his veggies and baked beans. Violet ate a well rounded meal but not quite as much. After they got done eating dinner, we let them go play while Libby and I finished our dinner and sat down and talked. After a bit,…
Hayden has been rather rude as of late. I’m sure it has mostly to do with his learning to assert himself, but his repeated “NO!” has earned him a fair number of time-outs. Most times, he is given the option of a time-out or saying he’s sorry. Occasionally we just ask him, “do you need a time…
Tonight we all rode bikes to the park after dinner (Hayden was in the bike trailer). Hayden and Violet swung on the swings, went down the slide, and ran down “the hill” at the park. You might be saying to yourself “Where is the hill at the park?” It is a mound of dirt next…
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…
