What a fun day we had! This weekend we are watching Kalvyn's sister Koriyn...she is so much fun to have around. If her family ever decides they don't want her, haha, we'll take her.
The kids started the day playing school and legos... then we were off to Tate's basketball game. It was such an intense game this week. The ref basically sucked so it wasn't a very fair game, but fun, nonetheless.
We grabbed some lunch and then went hiking at "A" mountain in Tempe..Blake insisted on doing most of the hiking himself. Kaly, Tate and Koriyn raced to the top and waited for us lagers.
When we got home we made our Valentine dinner. The kids wanted homemade chicken noodle soup, garlic toast, green beans and pineapple. We had Grandma Debbie over and ate at the big table by candlelight. Fun, Fun! The best part was dessert. The kids made a peanut butter, chocolate pie. We made our own creation with peanut butter cup icecream, cool whip, peanut butter chips and an oreo crust..The kids finished the night bouncing on the trampoline and Rick and I in the hot tub. What a great day!
How do you love? Kind words, a hug, a smile, an act of kindness?
Love is a funny thing.. I love so many people in so many ways.. I like to show love to my kids with smiles, hugs and kisses, talks, understanding.. I show Rick love with respect, hugs, uh..well, you know.. I love all of my friends too. I love to cook for them, talk,cry and laugh with them. This is the season for LOVE! Don't forget to tell the ones you love that you LOVE THEM!
Time Out... our other two kids have been there, done that.. usually with a fight at first and then they give in. In our house it is the discipline of choice. Well, it has been a while since anyone has had to visit "time out", until the last few days. Blake is developing his sense of independence. Of course there are those things he wants to do and simply cannot. Mom and Dad tell him "no no" and try to redirect...but he persists. Blake is our first child not to fight going to time out. Rick and I were cracking up this morning. Blake was warned that he was going to time out if he didn't do something. Rick put him in time out after another warning. He just sat there looking all indignant.He doesn't try to get up, he just sits there. We were trying so hard not to laugh. He just sat there for his 2 minutes reflecting on whatever it is toddlers reflect on. He looked so cute we just had to take his picture...
Rick and the Kids LOVE legos.. I don't include myself in this because I really have no creativity when it comes to this... I wish I did! They will spend HOURS making things, creating and having fun. Last summer there were several days Kalvyn and Tate barely came out of Tate's room to eat because they were building Lego mansions... Blake is wanting in on the action now! Look out guys.
