Catching Up: March Overview Part 2

You know spring has arrived when Lawson starts playing outside in the mornings. He gets up before Briley, and as soon as it started getting warm, he started playing outside on the patio. This is my view in the mornings when I drink my coffee. I love, love, love lazy spring mornings mornings. The birds chirping, the sun warming everything around us, and just spending time with my boys.

The boys have been asking daily when the ice cream man would return, and he finally did! I guess it's time to start keeping cash handy again :) What better way to eat your Spiderman popsicle than wearing a fireman raincoat and cowboy boots?

A few weeks ago, I went to one of my Mom's groups, and our speaker was Robin O'Bryant. She is a popular blog writer and author of Ketchup is a Vegetable and Other Lies Mom's Tell. I hadn't read the book yet, but I heard she was hysterical, and she was! I came home and downloaded the book to my Kindle app immediately. (Love that thing by the way! I wonder if Nick has notices all of the Amazon charges yet...) Anyway, she mentioned something about how everyone makes things seem nice and rosey on Facebook and blogs. So I started wondering if I did that. I mean, I certainly don't mean to if I do. Everyone sees me with my arguing kids, right? But I started thinking, it's really that I just don't take many pictures of the ugly moments. I take pictures of the fun stuff, and that's what I blog about! So I came home, and decided that I would start documenting the ugly stuff too. Well, it turns out that my kids don't like me putting a camera in their face when they are mad. They get even madder! So here they are at their worst... well maybe not worst, sometimes it's worse than this.

Life is really hard when you have to wake up from 3 hour naps everyday.
Photobucket
Yep, that's real life right there!

B's turn! This is the "is computer time really over? 5 more minutes, please?" face

... and the arguing b/c it's really time to get off face.

Life with a 2.5 and 5.5 year old is like living with 2 bipolar people. One minute they are as happy as can be, playing, independent, etc. and the next minute they are fighting, screaming, and playing. So, there I did it!
