Its Raining, It's Pouring...



Today was a great day with the family. It is amazing how the dynamic of our family is so much better when there are two if us. We can both pay attention to a girl and Tyler is just here for the ride right now. We did nothing special, but spend time at home waiting for the rain!! Madison and Savannah went outside to play in the sprinkler. That was pretty funny to see Savannah react to the sprinkler, but she loved it. When Savannah and Tyler took a nap today Maddie and I played with my Cricut machine, which she has been asking me to do for weeks. She is making a large picture for our friends Effie, Sophia, and Demi. She did not get to finish it today but if she asks me one more time if she can use gorilla glue to do it we are going to have a problem. The gorilla glue is put way out of reach because she really wants to use it, not realizing what it really is. Anyhow, after we were done cutting out fun shapes with the cricut, Maddie wanted to go outside with Daddy as he organized his van. But by then it was pouring, so I decided to let her play in the rain. She was almost naked running around my front yard in the rain... SO MUCH FUN!! She really had a great time and it was a great way to tire her out! (Ok, so a little more work to dress them again, but I suggest it to any parent!!) And to top the day off, she was asleep by 8:15. And if you know Maddie at all, that is a great accomplishment!! Now, if we could just get Tyler to sleep!

YEs, Sandra, Bedtime has gotten easier for us. There is hope for Gabriel!

Shiv, I have to admit I paid (well,, Amy paid) for this banner. I did not create all of it!

Ef, I hope I can pass on advise soon! I am ready for a good nights sleep.. I think I might need to go away without kids for that though!
