Zoo Day

"Spring is here!" is what Rayah likes to tell me each morning, quickly followed up with a request to go outside and play. I am so happy the weather is starting to warm up and I can get the kids out of the house! I have found the outdoors to be the biggest peace making device, sleeping aide, and 3-in-1 reward, privilege and punishment! Once the argueing starts inside, I simply open the door and let them outside and their worries disipate into the open air. Then they argue outside and all I have to say is, "Well , if we can't resolve this we will just have to go inside", applied with the proper dissapointed tone the resolution quickly follows. They run and play hard all day long, then they come in at night to eat dinner, watch a little TV, and then they sleep like babies all night long!!!


Keeping all this in mind I decided to take the kids, and their cousin Tiaunna, to the Zoo for the day! We had a great day and they were really well behaved, and the best part yet....they were so worn out at night they fell asleep at 8:00!!!

Stroller Derby

As times change, so do tactics. The latest weapon the baby stroller, Roman's latest form of attack. First he backs up to the farthest wall, lowers his head as an agry bull would do, he raises his eyes. Commence the grunting, louder and louder, then comes the well known war cry as he takes off!! Aiming to run over anyone who dares cross his path. It is hillarious to watch and the intimidating faces he makes are even better!!
