Havin' Fun While Daddy Works!!!

While Daddy is away Mommy likes to play! It's got to be the antidepressants talking, ha ha! Sunday night the kids wanted to play with play dough and we had none. Great! So mom decided to make some. It was so easy! I will never buy play dough again! Kentston's favorite color is orange and it was a hit.

Kailey takes after her mommy and wants to make birthday & wedding cakes. Oh no, I want to save her a lot of stress...but I guess she can have fun now.

Spring fever got the best of us today. Mom didn't even make the kids wear jackets. The sunshine felt wonderful!! It was great to soak up the sun and read a magazine while the kids rode their bikes. I can't wait for Spring. I can't wait for camping. I just can't wait!!!

Turning the Dreaded Weekend Into Closer Family Time.

We made it through another weekend! Actually this weekend was a breeze. Usually John & I can't say that because weekends are a mess. Awful to admit, I know. But after talking about it we decided to make this a "can" weekend and it WORKED!! Yahooey! So I am here to toot our horns and sing because we are all here and looking forward to the two days we have left of our four-day weekend that we were truly dreading.

It has taken creativity on our part, but every time Kentston or Kailey has been doing something that is unacceptable we have tried to let them know what they can do and didn't tell them what they were doing was wrong. So we never used the word "no" or "can't" or "stop." Dude, I am here to say it was hard at first, but no one had to raise their voice and we had no fighting! It was awesome!!!!!!!!!! I think we're going to make it. Whew!

P.S. With the exception of Barbie and her house, cruise ship and her car, along with Diego and his house strung all over my living room...I couldn't be happier and more content. Y
