Did I wake up grumpy and the kids are feeding off that mood, or is it their behavior that is making me grumpy??
hmmmm, is this one of those "chicken or egg" scenarios. Whatever the case, it is clearly one of those days.
I tried to perk up our moods and we made cookies. It helped a little. The spoonfuls of ice cream I've been sneaking seem to be helping a little too. And the coffee. And the chocolate.
This is "baby central". We originally fenced off a portion of the living room but it only took a few days for the boys to realize that they could crawl around the couch and escape. It is a full time job keeping small choking objects out of here. We also have a no cartwheeling rule. This is probably self explanatory.
This was taken awhile back but I finally got around to uploading videos.
We had a fun Valetine's party with a couple of friends on Monday. It was a blast. Aiden says it was his best Valentine's Day ever!
Wednesday we ventured off to William's Lake. Nothing like a trip to the "big city". My Americano was heavenly.
Thursday I took the kids to the lake for a walk. I didn't realize how cold it was until we were 5 mins. in and our faces were burning and the babies were crying. I got home to check the weather and realized it was -25. Ah, no wonder. I guess it isn't like the west coast where you can look out the window and decide how to spend your day. The sun can be quite deceptive.
Well, better run, somebody is in need of a nap and although Aiden says I look really tired, it is not me.
Oh Ash. I was telling your Mom this afternoon I too am grumpy. So welcome to the club.
ReplyDeleteCan't be the weather. It is truly gorgeous today.
Hmmmm.
I know, I know. It is Feb 19th. Always a bad day.
:)
WE've been grumpy here too and I think that it has a lot to do with our lack of fresh air and just playing outside. Compared the weather you have, we should be outside in shorts or something:)
ReplyDeleteAs for chocolate making things better, I have a chocolate bar in my glove compartment. Whenever the kids are driving me nuts in the van, I grab a bite. My mom used to have a chocolate bar at all times, hidden in her vanity drawer. I totally get it now (she had 5 kids too!).
Mmm chocolate, it really dose help. :)
ReplyDeleteYour living room makes me smile. For now I am sure it is the best solution for everyone. Hopefully it will be a while before the learn how to escape!
-25! We are at +25 50 degrees difference, crazy.
I didn't know your kids had Padraig slippers! Love 'em!
