Boot Camp

A group of moms in my neighborhood gets together every weekday morning to workout. They call it Boot Camp. It’s only a half hour (usually… some days I guess they go longer), but it is a very hard workout. Tow days a week are focused on arms and abs, two days are [...]

My Little Muggle

Aiden finished reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone Sunday night. I only got to read the first chapter and the last 4 pages to him. He read the rest all on his own. He really enjoyed it, and at times would tell me little things about Hagrid or Harry and Ron. [...]

Eating My Words

Now see, I write a complaining blog post and feel like this is it, I just can’t take it anymore… and then my kids do something wonderful. A little something, but it’s something.
They ate lunch.
Then I said, “It’s naptime!” and Dallin got into bed without complaint and while I was tucking Dallin in, Parker [...]

Groundhog’s Day

Remember that movie? Where the guy has to relive the same day over and over until he gets it right (although I could never figure out why sleeping with the girl was the trigger that made it all “right”)? I feel like my life is one big Groundhog’s Day movie.
Aiden is home sick [...]

Stay Out!

Aiden is frustrated with his brothers getting in his room and playing with his toys (mainly the Legos). Dallin and Parker play and lose pieces, and they tend to make a mess. Aiden was cleaning up the mess last night, then yelled, “That’s IT! I’m making a sign! It will [...]

Basket Case

I get to stay home from work today because Parker is sick. He threw up in Wal-Greens last night as I was buying Valentines for Aiden’s class party today.
(Side note… yes, we went with the stupid store-bought, totally commercial Valentines this year. Last year we made cool heart crayons and cards [...]

Yup

Spoke to soon. Oh well. We’re still trying. He’ll be potty trained before college, right??????

It Might Be Too Early To Say Something

But I’m just so excited that I can’t NOT say anything. I hope I don’t jinx the whole thing. Anyway…
Dallin stayed dry ALL DAY yesterday. ALL through his nap. Then he woke up dry this morning, sat on the potty (after being awake for about 45 minutes!), and is STILL dry [...]

Parker

Last night I apparently sat on some chocolate, so I had some brown smeared on the back of my pajamas. Parker followed me around this morning saying, “Ew! Gwoss!!” So I told him it’s just chocolate and went back to making breakfast for Aiden. Next thing I knew, Parker had taken [...]
