Connor's Preschool

I created this a book for Connor's preschool on my business site...Heritage Makers. Once it was completed online, I published it and it was sent to me in a library-bounded, hard-cover book. Connor's last day was today. He has a little graduation tomorrow for the class. You can find the preview of this book at the bottom of the blog. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the layout just right. :) Here's the direct link if you want to go that route: http://www.heritagemakers.com/?event=projectBrowse&projectId=f2591c36-6483-4480-b58f-85f38f5ed10d&productId=3&projectSponsor=255306

A couple of things the kids like to do...

Connor is doing so well with riding his bike!

Alyssa loves jumping in the puddles. Whenever she sees water on the ground, she thinks she has to jump in it. Sorry it's sideways!

Crazy!

Thankfully, both of the kids were asleep, so I was saute'ing some veggies for my
lunch. I had a small skillet and put a glass skillet top over it. I've
done this many times. Well, I was over hear checking email, etc. and
heard something bust! The glass lid shattered. So, why would companies
make skillet lids that are going to shatter if they get hot? Hmmmm.
So, I'm not sure I'll use anymore of my glass lids again...I'll just
have to double use my metal ones. Hmmm...is this foreshadowing the
rest of my day? :)

Here's the end product!

Double Anniversary

OH, yeah. Yesterday marked 6 years that Trey and I have been married and 1 year that we've been in Maryland. Time has flown with lots happening in the middle!

Celebration!!

This is such an accomplishment that I can't believe I haven't posted it yet. Connor has been going to his bed and sleeping in it all night! Well, he is now getting up at 5 am with the sun, but that's better than what it has been. The first night he actually went to his bed and then fell asleep. He came in our room several times and Trey would take him back to his room. Last night he fell asleep on the couch and I took him to his room, but he did stay in his room until after 5! There is hope!! We've got a little positive reinforcement (bribery) going on as well. :)

Monkey see, Monkey do

Connor is figuring out that his sister will copy almost anything he does. Their favorite version of copycat seems to be a squealing match. Yesterday, Alyssa was in her bed and had been stirring from her naptime. Connor heard her and screamed. Alyssa screamed back. Connor squealed again. Alyssa did again. There you have it...a screaming match between brother and sister on two different floors of the house.

Mommy's sick???

What does the phrase "Mommy's sick" really mean?? For my children I think it means that Mommy's not going to move as fast as she usually does and she's coughing more and sneezing and talking funny, but she can still do and get what I need. I'm thinking for hubby it's about the same meaning. :) Trey did let me rest bc he was on vacation this week, but it was still hard. I could rest while Alyssa was asleep...Connor kept himself occupied for the most part unless he wanted something and his daddy wasn't fast enough. But, when Alyssa was away she DID NOT want her mommy lying in bed. She would come into the bedroom, get on the bed, and put her little hands under my arms and body and try to pull me up. And, then she would squeal and fuss if I didn't move. So, needless to say, I had to get up. So much for resting! I guess that goes to show that she's used to me being on the move! No sitting down allowed on the mommy job!!
