THE KIDS

Seems like Andrea is just growing and changing everyday, and not always for the better. The little stinker is full of her own ideas. She now thinks that just because she can look cute and say please she can do what every she pleases. The time has come for DISCIPLINE....not fun, and she has one strong little will. Lets just say last night she went to bed only having eaten yogurt for dinner. It all culminated down to her not wanting to eat her food at the table, and after sitting in time out twice we said enough and she lost her food. Sounds cruel but listening to a little one scream and throw a fit all the while knowing what she was doing can make you stick to your guns (I think both Becca and Braydens' eyes were about to pop out of their face). Anyway this morning she wanted to sit in the high chair with her baby-something I could accommodate-she really is a funny little girl/ rough and tumble-able to keep up with her big brother Brayden.




The week is great weather for working in the yard. Today we all picked out flowers-not that bad when the store has some big trikes for kids to ride. I am sure they didn't count on Brayden flying all over, but we gave the older ladies a good laugh this morning ( I almost forgot Andrea as she spent the time laying on the bottom of the flower cart on her belly, under all the flowers)

Becca was my big helper. She is so insightful and after watching me plant a couple she tried her hand at it. It was so fun to watch-she even loosened the roots before putting it in the ground. You can't tell very well from the pictures but she had her nails painted, per her request. Girly girl who still loves to dig in the dirt. Becca is also going through a phase which she expects the world to be handed to her on a silver platter. How to teach this little girl to have a grateful heart seems daunting lately.

This is what Brayden loves to do. Not the greatest video but he loves to toss up balls and hit them one after another. No broken windows yet, I don't know where else he can practice.
