You know, I told myself I would post again once I took some really cute pictures of the kids. But then I couldn't find the battery from my camera and I have no idea how to upload pictures from my phone to this blog. Technologically challenged, I guess you would call it. I still have hope for the camera battery since we still haven't unpacked all the way from our move in March. And I am sure I will continue to learn about technology, but that will be a slow process, so I am banking on finding the camera battery. But since that will probably take until Christmas at the rate I'm going, I figured I would just post anyway. :)
Nicholas has started 2nd grade. He fell asleep in class once "because it was just so quiet and peaceful" and "because it was just a boring class." So, we had some discussions about that and even if a class is really, really boring, you can't sleep in it. We made it through the weeks without any notes home though, so I was pretty excited about that. He is generally happy and healthy and doing well though.
Michael....the child is having some issues. About three weeks ago, the boys' father took them to a state fair. Which was wonderful. Now, their dad is honestly a smart guy and I have to say his judgment when it comes to choosing activities for them to do is generally good. But, we all have lapses in judgment, myself included. So, when Michael was too little to go on the bumper cars with the other kids they were hanging out with that day, his dad kindly offered to do another activitiy with him and took him into a haunted house.
The boys watch very limited TV and have been exposed to very little in terms of scary things the world has to offer. So, let's just say that Freddy Kruger made an impression. He stopped sleeping for awhile there and was having nighmares upon his arrival to our vacation with my family, who at first were treated to Michael's screams around bedtime. About a week later, they were joined by my screams after Michael remained unconvinced that Freddy Kruger and zombies were fictional. It culminated in one evening where we both had a temper tantrum. Because, you know, screaming really helps a child who is anxious. But things are finally getting better as long as the overhead light is kept on all night. He is now willing to another floor of the house by himself independently again and has stopped walking forward while rotating to ensure there are not monsters creeping up behind us. So, as Michael's reaction is finally subsiding, I have to admit, the whole thing is kind of funny at this point. But, note to Baby Daddy...no more haunted houses pleeeeaaaase!
Yesterday we went to an air and car show with one of the groups we are part of here, which was fun. But the best part of the day was when we arrived home during a thunderstorm, getting drenched just from running in from the car. We all jumped into our jammies, ordered pizza and watched movies the rest of the day. There's nothing better in the world than snuggling up with my favorite boys. And just loved watching Friday the 13th!
Until next time...sending out lots of love from us to you! :)
