Timeout fun


They were supposed to be sitting on the stairs in time out for arguing with each other(which they did for quite a while until i forgot about them- oops!) and decided it was more fun to play together than argue.

Family Movie Night!


The plan was to go bowling but all of the lanes were reserved tonight so we went to plan B and had a movie night. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was a cute show and sweet Abbie shed tears when she thought Flint didn't make it. Luckily it ended well and her tears turned into tears of joy.

On Thursday mornings the older two go early to school for chess club. Abbie takes full advantage of not having to share Dad's attention.

Haircut



I cut off the long locks on top and coming over his ears today. A special thanks to the lollipop that kept him mostly distracted until it got covered with hair - yuck! His shorter hair makes him look like a full blown toddler.

Cute sleepers

poor Connor has an ear infection and croup. The ride home from Costco was just long enough for them to zonk.
