No Pictures and No News

Ok, I am officially horrible at this. I have seen worse but I am still pretty bad. I should be able to post everyday with all of the crazy things that go on but I would not want to bore anyone. Nothing has been going on lately. Just working, taking care of kids, and of course shopping. I can honestly say that I HAVE A PROBLEM. I never had a problem with Aidan but Avery is a different story. There are so many interesting and unique things out there for her to wear that I can't stop myself. Of course sometimes I must stop myself or they would be coming to kick me out of my house soon. One day I will have to take a picture of her room just so everyone can see how out of control I am.

Life with the two monsters is getting better. Now that Avery is semi-mobile and not so fragile Aidan loves to play with her. He actually went to play with her in her crib the other night and fell asleep there. When I went to check on them I found him asleep on his back and Avery was poking at his face. It was quite amusing.

Speaking of the monsters, Aidan has discovered the fear of real MONSTERS. Apparently monsters live everywhere but especially in his bed. I had no idea that he was old enough to develop that fear but he definitely has. If anyone knows of an effective monster removal tool then let me know. I have tried the magic umbrella and stick and the monsters don't exist line but nothing has helped. It looks like I am going to have to hunt down some older kid and shut his/her mouth do that Aidan doesn't find out about any more terrors. I may never sleep again otherwise.

Weekend with the Outdoors




This past weekend we went camping for the first time in months. (And by camping I mean in the camper with Mitchell's parents.) We went to Wind Creek State Park and had a really nice time. The weather was not too bad so we were able to spend most of the time outside. Aidan got to go fishing in the boat for the first time. He was so proud when he got back and had fish to show me. He caught his first bass which made daddy so proud. It wasn't much bigger than a minnow but it was still a bass.
