Another day at home

The kids stayed home again today. Ella had school this morning and then we came home and ate lunch. I had a meeting planned with a friend of Justin's that is looking for a job so I took the kids to the coffee shop with me to meet with him. They were great for the first 45 minutes and then it started getting a bit hairy. I know the coffee shop man was happy to see us pack up and leave!

Here are a few picture of the kids from yesterday.

Ella bundled up and went outside to swing for all of 10 minutes...which was longer than Justin made it outside. It has been REALLY cold here this week. Down to 2 degrees and worse with wind chill.































Silas occupied himself under his bed for a good while. He has a disturbing obsession with diapers right now. At our house and at Kelly's, he is constantly pulling them all out and wants to play with them. If you walk in on him when he's made a big mess with them ("I make mess", he says) he will close his eyes knowing that he's busted and say "I sleepy".






And here we have our daughter Mason - the hair is REALLY starting to get on my nerves, but it IS something to hold over his head for punishment -
bad grades = hair cut off, do something bad = hair cut off. It's working better than grounding from the TV or PS2 and other threats...


Stamping/scrapping club was great fun last night. We made 3 very cute projects (see the 4 bulls blog for details if interested) and I got to drink wine. Everyone was asleep but Si when I got home. He was in our bed so we ended up having a conversation that went something like this:
Si: Mouse say squeak. Lion say ROAR!
Me: Go to sleep Si
Si: Cow say Moo, mouse say squeak
Me: Siley, time to go ni-night
Si: Mommy go sleepy?
Me: yes and Silas go sleepy.
Si: What that noise?
Me: (sigh) That is daddy snoring
Si: Daddy sleep, mouse say squeak, cow Moo, lion roar....what rabbit say?
Me: Rabbit say GO TO SLEEP!
