We've been busy working in our front yard trying to get it cleaned up. Last year we mainly worked on the house and a little bit of the flower beds. We didn't plant anything though. This year we have planted some flowers, transplanted tulips and daffodils, and made a rock border around the tree that we planted last year. Okay, so I guess we did plant something last year! But... now we need to work on the garage and backyard. We did get peas, carrots, onions, and lettuce planted outside, and we have tomatoes and peppers growing inside. So we have been busy!
The kids are finally enjoying playing outside. I literally had to lock them out one day and make them play! But now they can't wait to go out!
Brevan has been getting in trouble for playing in his window at night, morning, and during his nap. He keeps getting his chair and pulling on the blinds and trying to look out! I have been getting so mad at him every time I go in there. I would move the chair from under the window and then fix the blinds. Then I would get mad at him. I threatened him with not being able to ride his bike or scooter, I tried to bribe him. I tried everything. Then, last night he was doing it again and I caught him. I said to him, "what are we going to do so you won't play in the window." He looked at me and mumbled sadly, "take away my chairs?"
Well DUH!!!! Why couldn't I have thought of that! I had to laugh though, because of my stupidity, and his genuine simplicity!
"Watch out for lizards!"The other day Brett was taking Brevan fishing down at Otter Creek and they saw one of those signs that is a warning for curves ahead. Brevan started yelling, "Watch out for lizards!"
He told Brett that those signs were so you wouldn't run over any lizards and you had to watch for them! Now whenever we see one of those signs he yells, "Watch out for lizards!" We get a good laugh out of it!
Brevan never ceases to make us laugh! Of course he is also very good at making us frustrated, but I guess that just goes with the territory! We love him tons though!
Sydney and Madisyn are the best of friends, and they are growing like weeds! Madisyn is always making me laugh by how happy she is! She loves when you clap for her, and it is funny to watch her clap for herself! She loves to play and follow her siblings around! We have a ton of fun with her! She is growing like a weed, and I can't believe all that she is doing now! She walks all over the place, and isn't afraid of anything! She loves to play peek-a-boo, and would do it for hours if she could! She is starting to like to color, talk on the phone, take me to what she wants, follow one instruction, and her first word is juice! She loves her juice!
Sydney is a handful, but we love her dearly! She is always getting into things. I came in here yesterday and caught her throwing sugar all over the floor once again! She does that every couple of weeks, I guess I need to move the sugar! I also caught her writing all over herself today. She is a climber and gets into everything, especially crayons, pens, and candy! She loves to color, and she will sit in hers, Brevan's, or my room for a very long time just coloring! She is getting to be pretty good too! Her speech is much improved and we are very happy to finally be able to understand her!! She is a sweetie and loves her sister and brother very much!
Well, I'm through with my novel! We hope everyone else is having a wonderful spring! :)
