Day 21 {one tired kid}

Today Tyler fell asleep at 10:45 am and stayed asleep until  2:30!  I guess he was pretty tired, I think he may be getting sick.  He sounds like he's losing his voice as well.    When he woke up I gave him some lunch and tried getting a few pictures for my homework assignment for my photography class.  While snapping away I took this one and love it!  Not sure why I like it so much, just do :)

Thanks for looking :)

Day 20 {trains and sleep}

Tyler followed in the path of the other boys today when he discovered Thomas the train. An episode came onto the TV today and he started jumping around and talking in mumbo jumbo while pointing to the screen.  I asked him if he liked the choo choo and he ran around going choo choo, choo choo.  So I thought it was time to pull out the wooden Thomas set that was Xander's when he was that age.  I only brought out the trains today but I think I may pull the actual track out for him tomorrow :) 

While playing with his trains he also skipped his afternoon nap. So in the middle of supper tonight this is what I found.  Poor kid was tuckered out.

Day 19 {clay}

The boys got air dry clay from Aunt Meg for Christmas and on the weekend they made stuff with it.  I would say they made ashtrays but since we don't' say that anymore.....they made pencil holders and candy dishes!  They had a lot of fun rolling little 'snakes' to coil around to make a dish. 

They couldn't paint them until today since they had to dry but had lots of fun doing that after school.  I must say I thought Crayola air dry clay was going to be a huge pain in the you know what but it was actually fairly clean and pretty easy for the boys to work with!  Good call Megen!

Day 18 {what happened to the TV?}

So lately the television keeps getting a weird message on it. After playing with the remote I finally looked over at the satellite receiver and discovered Ty had puled open the little door and pulled out the smart card that makes it work. I had to search for almost  40 minutes trying to find the card to put back in it.  I finally found it buried in behind a shelf.  I guess Bill had taken the tape off I had on it for some reason and Ty discovered how to open it and pull it out.   So my solution to this was to stick another piece of tape on it.  Unfortunately I could not find Bill's electrical black tape ( blends in and he doesn't see it)  so I used my best friend....duct tape!  I do tend to use duct tape for a LOT of stuff.  I think I need to stop watching the red green show ;)    Well it did stop him for a little bit.......about a whole hour!  I think I need to come up with something else.  I found it in the bathroom later on.

Later on I caught him right in the act!  Only this time he had moved over a foot and was attempting to shove a dvd into the wii.    This is getting to be a big game for him, time to figure out somewhere else to put this stuff.  At the moment I have no CD rom drive on the computer because he shoved a disc in there and it is stuck shut. What else will this child break before I can get a bigger house with more room to put things up?

Day 17 {sinus pain}

I had a very boring day today and the kids drove me nuts all day. I took absolutely no pictures till about 20 minutes ago when I realized I still had not picked up my camera. When did I think of this? When I was in the bathroom for the 4th time that day doing yet another sinus rinse. I seem to have gotten yet another sinus infection. I do at least 2 sinus rinses everyday ( more in the past few days) and use my prescription nasal spray but it still hurts and bugs me. I must say I have gotten used to shooting water in one nostril and out the other.....although it was gross at first it really does provide relief :)

Day 16 {magic show}

Today Xander decided to take his magic kit he got for Christmas and give us a magic show.  He set everything up on the table and started doing magic for us.



Here is the little owl in the box.....

And now it's gone!   He's good isn't he?

And later on they went outside to play...I looked outside to find them with a plastic croquet mallet trying to bang the ice off the GT.  

Day 15 {Thirsty}

Apparently I do not give my child enough to drink during the day.  This is what I caught on camera this morning, Xander left the empty milk carton on the table.  Ty tried to get the last few drops out of it.

Then for the rest of the day he kept going in and drinking Hooch's water out of the bowl....sometimes with a cup other times just sticking his head in.  He also likes to just play in it.
