As Libby mentioned in the previous blog post, we planted a garden this weekend. In order to get the plants, we went to Wedel's. Along with having a TON of plants (a metric ton to be specific) Wedel's also has a HUGE pond with a river in the middle of their outside nursery. Needless to…
Yesterday afternoon, Hayden, Violet and I went to the park while Mike installed some edging around a new garden in our front yard. We learned that while my help is beneficial, the help of the two kids pretty much negates anything that I could contribute – so we left. We had a great time at…
Since it was a balmy 54 with 20mph wind, we decided to go for a walk around the block after dinner. Our "walk" started by racing to various landmarks down our street. We got to see the UPS truck not once but twice! The first time it drove by and honked as the kids waved….
As resourseful and responsible parents, we generally work to fix things when they break rather than replace them. This holds true for Violet’s dresser. Even though we purchased it less than a year ago, it started to fall apart. I’m sure some of it had to do with young ones climbing the drawers, or filling…
Hayden and Violet love to brush their teeth. LOVE. This morning, it was going well until they realized they both couldn’t stand on the same small stool. Well that and Hayden was sticking his fingers in the toothpaste bubbles that Violet was spitting in the sink. So between the pushing, shoving, and spit, we decided…
Tonight was game night. Violet and Hayden started out playing the penguin fishing game while Libby and I cleaned up in the kitchen. After I heard the gears grind on the game, I decided to intervene. We played the fishing game for a bit until Hayden decided it was time to put it away. After…
Mike alluded to the fact that he gave in when Hayden “requested” he lay down with him in his new bed. I think that he was just really tired and knew that Hayden’s bed was more comfortable than sitting in his rocking chair. I will say, however, Hayden is doing a great job sleeping in…
Hayden and Violet usually come downstairs after they get dressed to have a baba beebee (vitamin) and watch some PBS kids. Today Hayden got up, got dressed, but didn't come downstairs. Expecting the worst, I walked up stairs to assess the damages. To my surprise, Hayden was playing choo choo train by himself. He made…
Libby had a work meeting tonight so I picked up the kids and am now letting them play before Hayden's bedtime. We got home and immediately they changed into their bathing suits so they could play in the kiddy pool and sprinkler while I made dinner. So I didn't have to get them dried off,…
You may have noticed that it has been quite some time since we posted pictures on Picasa. Just to quell your fears, we were still taking pictures during this time period. Be sure to take a look at the new pictures.
