Lately...

 We have been busy lately, having fun of course.

How come it seems like life never slows down?

That we just keep getting busier and busier,

even we when try to simplify!

 Entertaining the kids inside, because its too cold outside, has been tricky.

Is it just my kids, or do all kids get extremely stir crazy?

Luke is constantly asking to go "bye, bye"

This kid doesn't care where we go, just as long as we go, somewhere, anywhere.

Couponing has become a great hobby because it means we go to the store a lot,

just to buy a few screamin deals at a time,

but Luke is a great shopper.

Clara likes to look at everything in the stores,

so shopping trips can become an event to look forward to.

 When Luke gets mad at me, or doesn't approve of something I am doing,

he has learned to ask for daddy.

He whines for daddy when its nap time, or time out time.

He has learned that daddy is only a phone call away.

He will find my phone, bring it to me,

and tell me to call daddy at work.

They he always tells daddy about his toys, which include his balls,

and expects daddy to come home from work right now and play with him.

Its funny how quickly they learn to try and pit one parent against the other.

These things must just be inherent, because we did NOT teach him that.

 Clara has regressed in her sleeping patterns lately.

She started out as such a content little girl,

but has some how turned into a whiney drama queen!

She takes 20 minute cat naps,

and sleeps 90 -120 minutes at a time in the night!

What happened to our 3 hour naps and 5-6 hour stretches at night?

This girl is spoiled!

Sleep training will have to start after the holidays,

this princess has another things coming, and she doesn't know it yet!

She is very cute though....
