I have made the realization that I have a terrible memory, and also realize that I really want to remember all the stuff the kids do on a daily basis.  So . . . I've decided to try to use my blog for more just daily thoughts and recording the cute/naughty/funny things they do from day to day.  I realize this may be boring for my readers, but I'm doing it with the thought of printing the blog someday so the kids and I have a record of their childhood.

So this morning, they woke up at 5:30 which has been very typical lately.  Ethan gathered all of his stuffed animals and brought them into our bed, and, along with Macie, we had a "tea party."  I stayed laying down as much as possible, and kept trying to convince them that we should play sleepover instead of tea party.  Macie loves to sing, so she entertained us with the entire "Bob the Builder" theme song, word for word and with lots of expression :)

Yesterday I got home for work and the kids had been at home with grandma all day.  Macie complained of a stomach ache, but wanted to go on the swing, so I pushed her for a long time.   We knew that Dar was coming to cut Ethan's hair so we all went out in front to wait for her.  As soon as we saw Dar pull up, Macie threw up all over the front sidewalk and herself.  Poor Dar had to navigate her way around the vomit to come in to cut Ethan's hair.  I put Macie in the tub and she ended up being fine.  Meanwhile, daddy stayed with Ethan during his haircut and he did amazingly well!  Especially considering that the last time Dar came to cut his hair he screamed and went under the table, where Dar had to join him to finish the haircut!  After the haircut was finished, Daddy and Ethan went out to mow the lawn, which Ethan absolutely loves.  Whew!
