Another Snow Day


Too wet to go out, too cold to play ball, so we sat in the house and did nothing at all.  

Avery and Tucker put on their winter stuff immediately following breakfast and hit the new-fallen snow in the backyard, Avery still a little disappointed that school was cancelled as she was going to meet with her reading teacher again today.  Milo watched, bleary-eyed from his tantrum this morning, then went back to play with the abandoned train set that he now had all to himself.



Every few minutes he gets up, looks out the door, probably to make sure Tucker isn't coming back in anytime soon, then sends Mavis or James down the rickety bridge, down the hill and back up again.

He has become more than attached to Chet, which happened to Piper too.  Chet headed out the door for school this morning in this blizzard and Milo threw an all out, state-of-the-art, top-of-the-line tantrum.  He landed on the floor after throwing himself out of my arms, rolling around and around, screaming, wailing, picking up trains and throwing them, lunging back for my arms, lunging back out of my arms, crawling with his head down towards the front door, crawling back in disappointment and wailing, "Da-ay!  Da-ay!"  I tried flagging him down, letting him know that 50% of his parents was still available for his assistance but this wasn't good enough for him.

In church on Sunday, he sat with Chet to start, then cruised over to me, wanting to play with my necklace.  Piper took the opportunity to come sit with her daddy and Milo made it known that this was not allowed.  He kicked Piper off of Chet's lap and sat, content, pleased with his decision.

I've always said, my kids skip the terrible two's but they certainly make up for it as ornery one's.

Real Manly, Chet

It's hard to find the time to blog these days.  I figure once life slows down a bit, I'll start taking more pictures and adding more posts.  But to those I tell that too, they ROFL.  Life doesn't slow down. Chet and I try to squeeze in as many dates as we can, as we hardly even see each other during the week.  Our date on Monday evening started out deciding on a place to eat.  I have to comply with my Weight Watcher's points and Chet is trying to put on weight. So you tell me.  Where do we eat? We ended up getting a Jimmy John's for me (I could eat half) and an Arby's meal for Chet. We were off in search of summer clothes for Chet as his previous summer wardrobe has consisted of clothes he wore to confirmation camp.  In other words, old and out of style.  As I browsed the racks at the store, I noticed something.  Had we just held onto his confo clothes, they would be in style again. His doc warned him that if he didn't start wearing a...

Summer Boredom

Summer boredom is in full-swing for the eldest child of the family.  If I had known it would be this bad, I would have enrolled her in summer school.  I've been laid up with a work injury and have been ordered to take it easy for the rest of my pregnancy so I haven't been the most fun mom to hang around these days.  I mostly give orders from the couch.    My poor children haven't been able to have the summer they had been dreaming of all winter. Like Avery said, "This is the worst summer ever!"    The few days of rain we just had made the ancient wooden door frame of the deck door expand, making the screen door close to impossible to close without slamming it shut.  Avery has been doing most of the slamming as I am mostly incapable of such behavior and one of the times she didn't see Milo on the other side, trying to get in.  His finger got slammed in the door and it swelled to Timbuktu.  Chet brought him into urgent care a few da...

Boo-Falo Days

Every year, fireworks come to town on a Friday night.  Since I work every Friday night, I only hear them rattling the windows on my resident's rooms.  Well, sometimes I peek out the blinds and see one or two go off and then reassure my resident that no sir, we are not being bombed.  It's only Buffalo Days fireworks.   We haven't ever been able to bring the kids down to the lake to watch them but who needs to when you can see them from our street corner? Chet let Avery stay up late and he brought her outside to watch them.     And of course, the carnival also comes to town, one block away.  I coughed up $20 bucks on Saturday and treated the older kids to three rides each.  The nice, toothless man allowed Piper to ride for free on this one, as long as I went with her.  And as long as I wouldn't tell anyone.  Oops.  And he said I had to sit in the back because I wouldn't fit in the front. There was a parade o...
