Tonight at dinner, we had quesadillas with chips and salsa. The boys finished an entire jar of salsa. Once it was gone and the bowl was empty, hayden sang out in his normal sing-song voice, “more salsa, paleeeeeease!” Mike let him know that the salsa was all gone, and Hayden was overly disappointed. He asked…
Tonight at dinner we were eating and Hayden farted. He asked “What was that?” and then in a little bit he said “Oh… that’s my butt.” He then went on to say “My butt makes sounds.” Violet found this discussion quite funny and proceeded to egg him on. Violet mentioned that Hayden usually says “Excuse…
So the updates were less frequent than I was planning. Getting detailed information out of Violet about her day at camp is as easy as telling Skittles to be quiet in the morning when she wants to get fed. Here are some highlights from her week: MondayViolet got to see a toad on her nature…
This morning I dropped Violet off at her first day of Summer Camp. She is doing session 2 (Reptiles and Amphibians). This morning when Violet woke up, went to the bathroom all by her self, went back to her room and got dressed all by her self. Needless to say, she was very excited to…
Last night we were having hot dogs, mac and cheese, green beans, and bread and butter for dinner. We gave the kids bread and butter while Libby and I had hotdog buns. Hayden saw that I put a hotdog with sauerkraut, relish, mustard and ketchup on mine, so he wanted to make a sandwich out…
Tonight Violet, Hayden, and I were jumping on the trampoline and pretending to be animals. Violet started as a bird, I was a cat and Hayden decided to be a dinosaur. This progressed with different animals until Violet asked me to be a worm. Violet and Hayden were both birds. As you can imagine, they…
Yesterday Denise took Violet and Hayden on a nature walk while they were at Daycare. They walked down the road to where there were a lot of trees and other “nature” stuff. Hayden and Violet collected different things (as can be seen by the picture). Once they returned, Violet attached the collected nature items on…
Tonight is the transit of Venus. I don't know why everyone is so excited, all I see are clouds. Even though we didn't get to see the transit, the kids did get to inspect a lightning bug that Violet caught. They took turns holding the bug while the other would look at it with a…
Yesterday we all went to the school to play since they had new playground equipment at the school. After playing on the new equipment, the kids went to their old standby… …the swings. Violet asked me to push her but I was following Hayden around at the time. Libby volunteered to push her, but Violet…
It was a gorgeous day outside and the kids got new leap frog books so they decided to “read” outside. The great thing about technology, is that I don’t have to read to them any more.
