Update's coming!

I just wanted to let anyone who still reads my blog that I am going to do some updates tomorrow, my daycare kids cancelled so I will have some spare time. Sorry my posts have been sparse lately just been busy.

Quiet fun

Look what words Ty read, he's learning so fast!

We've been playing a lot of games, and of course getting back into the swing of things with school. I love to be in the kitchen baking, planning, cleaning, etc and look up and see the kids sitting at the table quietly and intently doing their schoolwork, makes me proud, and thankful! Daycare is back in full swing. I think I'm ending up with only one day off during the week this month which is a little unusual but I'm thankful for the work when I can get it. We are keeping up on our monthly menu, I'm getting a little tired of it so I think I need to head to the library and check out a few recipe books, that always gets me in the mood to try new things. Sounds awfully boring to me, we aren't terribly exciting but hey it's an update!

Interesting punishment

We've been having some issues over the past few days of our boys being quite unkind to each other physically and Don came up with quite an interesting punishment based off of a friend of mine, Sharon Olson, she mentioned one time her boys weren't getting along so they made them hold hands in public for quite a while and it made us laugh. Yesterday Don decided to try his own version he made the boys stand for about five minutes hugging each other. It was so cute and amazing how well it worked, they haven't had one "discussion" in a couple days!

Potato Head Fun

Brock got a Mr. Potato head from Uncle Doug, Aunt Mona, and Jennifer, we have never had one at our house and found it to be a huge hit. We found someone on craigslist that had a bunch for $7 so we went and picked them up Saturday. The kids found some interesting ways of using them and I loved the chance to take more pictures of my little spuds!

Guitar Hero Gullett style

Dig those flame pants?

Don's brother Doug and his family bought our kids Guitar Hero for Christmas, we just got it yesterday and have been having a great time with it. Don and I weren't so sure we'd enjoy it but it's turned out to be a lot of fun. It's a little hard for the kids but they love pretending to be rock stars.

Just goofing around

Cale's Christmas project

Cale got a wood truck for Christmas and he and Don put it together the other day and painted it. It was Cale's first time using a drill so that was a lot of fun for him. It turned out so cute.
