Ten minutes and counting

I have ten minutes until Daniel's quiet time is over which means the insanity will start soon. Daniel is having a hard time lately. One of the girls in his preschool class is mean to him, he never wants to go to church anymore because it is boring, he always wants to go to Grandma's house, and he whines constantly.

Alice is talking more and her favorite things to say are "Daniel!" "Jason!" "Get down" and "Don't." She thinks everything is yellow or blue. But I just love when she yells at Daniel for me. She cries less and less everyday except when Daniel is mean to her which is becoming more and more frequent. Oh kids, they drive me so crazy.

Lately I have been hating winter. My kids are bored, I am bored and I hate taking them places because they are pains. They aren't the kind of kids that come when you call, they run and think it is super funny. I know I know, if I put them in the stroller it would solve some problems. But then I would have nothing to complain about.

We have survived two trips to Cedar City which was a big accomplishment on my husband's part. We are hoping to not have to return there for awhile, the drive is so horrible.

I should put pictures up but alas, the camera is on a different level of the house. My grandma turned 80 and we had a big party for her at Maddox! It was yummy and really fun. Alice screamed or cried in all the pictures we took, that was awesome. Daniel loved that we took pictures at the train depot in Ogden. He and his cousins played and played on those trains and then cried when we left.

Also we went to see Jason's sister get married. This was funny on two reasons. Daniel while the bishop was performing the ceremony kept saying "oh my gosh they are getting married, this is so exciting!" Then they had put out a big bowl full of dove chocolates which we didn't realize Daniel was eating so many until he handed me ten wrappers and said "I am all done with these."

We are awaiting the spring time and Daniel is counting down days until his birthday. If anyone has any space party ideas please let me know.

He handed me at least 10 wrappers too. Good thing he is young. No wonder he didn't eat anything until 8 that night.

I'm feeling your pain. :) Ethan just had an alien party for his birthday. We set up an obstacle course where the boys shot aliens with a NERF gun. We made slime which was a TOTAL hit and pretty cheap. And I made these really cute UFO cupcakes. Let me know if you want the recipe.

Daniel sounds like Jackson I think he would like to live at grandma's house if we let him. I hope the mean girl at school starts to be nice, becasue you want him to like school.

Here are some fun space ideas:

I could probably copy and paste this post as my own. Gotta love being a mom sometimes. And what a fun theme for a party! I wish I had some ideas, but I am so not creative. Anything I do I probably googled and copied :)

Ikea beat the rainy day

My kids love the dirt. They love being outside while I try to plant and do everything in the dirt. Alice rolls in, runs in, and eats the dirt. The grossest thing I have found lately is her with her mouth full of mud and a pebble in her hand and big smiles on her face. To beat that I have found her now three times with dirt in the mouth. Yuck! Today it rained. This has got to be the fifteenth day this month that it rained and my kids could not stand it. So eventually I told the kids to get their shoes (which makes Alice run to the door) and that we were going to IKEA. IKEA is a great way to spend the day. Daniel and Alice played in the kids rooms that were set up and ran through that little hole in the wall they have between two of the rooms. They loved it. One of the rooms had a slide in it which Alice discovered that she loved. Down the slide she went, over and over and over again. Then we came home and the crying and tantrums started up right away again. But for those two...

Nothing like people to ruin your day.

Alright so last week we found out that our condo was put up for sale. Jason looked up the sales price, quickly realized that is was pretty low and we feared for the type of people that would be coming through to view our condo, we were right to fear. Usually I am pretty easy going and try to be accommodating but somethings are unbelievable. So these people put in an offer on our home and then the husband wanted to come check it out so their agent and our agent agreed on a time. We thought, okay they'll be here what like a half hour? So Jason and Daniel went to look at homes for us and I stayed here to watch the show. The husband proceeded to test each outlet to see if it was hot, then he was looking in the attic space, then messing with the fuses and air conditioning. He was the first to show up so we thought, ok, this is going to be alright. Ten to fifteen minutes later someone else knocked on the door. There is this lady with three kids and a pizza box. She mumbled some...

Sitting Up

Alice has begun sitting up. She can sit for about a minute on her own and then for about five minutes supported. Grass is also her new favorite thing and she will grab the blanket that she sits on and move it so that she can grab the grass. She can currently pull of fist fulls of grass with no hesitation. Although she did face plant in the grass and decided that the grass was not where her head should be. Daniel loves raspberries. He loves to run outside and pick raspberries straight from the bushes. Then he loves to run around the yard at grandma's house screaming. Alvin the dog is actually more afraid of Daniel than the other way around. Our house is coming along and hopefully within the month so we can get more settled. Yellowstone was a successful trip and our kids had a blast. Daniel could not see out the binoculars so eventually we just started pointed out animals that he could see on his own which were: buffalo. Good things seeing four million buffalo was exciting...
