Alright, this is going to be a bit of a weird blog.
Pretty much just some miscellaneous stuff that is going on over here...
Here we go.
Alex's favorite line this week is, "that's not fair." God help us! We officially have a four year old on our hands. Not to mention he hates losing. The crazy part is that we have always emphasized that it's about having fun, not winning. I continue to say this at least once daily. I don't know...
Rhoslyn can be heard in the back of the car trying to sing to the music on the radio. It's adorable listening to her try to sing to the music. Umm she is also way too much like her mom. Tonight at dinner she was freaking out because there was a fly in the kitchen. Billy had to kill it in the middle of dinner just to reassure her that it wasn't going to hurt her. She then watched as he put in the garbage and for the rest of the night she said, "fly all gone."
Rhoslyn also likes to act like she can't hear what we are saying. Eventually after we have said it a million times she will do what she is told. Or maybe it's because we then threaten a time out. I don't know. Yesterday she even crossed her arms around her and pouted.
Lets not forget that she likes to hit when she is mad. This morning she went on two time outs back to back before we even sat down for breakfast. She was mad because I wouldn't let her in the pantry.
Alex continues to be obsessed with angry birds. He also thinks that because he loves them so much, he should get EVERYTHING that has to do with angry birds. We started a new system for saving his money. One jar is for saving to put in the bank. The other jar is money he can spend. The downfall with this system... he wants to spend any money he gets in his spending jar. Currently the balance is zero! We are working on teaching him that if he saves a bit more money in there, it will allow him to purchase things that are more expensive.
As for Billy and I... we are just hanging in there and dealing with everyday challenges that come our way. We will know more hopefully by the end of this week about Iowa. We thought it was a for sure thing, but now we are not so sure. Our answers will come soon enough. In the meantime Billy is still looking for a better opportunity for himself. Hopefully it happens sooner rather than later.
We can't believe how fast this summer is going. We had big plans to go camping and now I am not sure if that will happen. It seems like every weekend is already planned. Goal for next summer: Camping!
