Why is it when you are really stressed your kids can feel it and are little hellions. Yesterday I was busy working on vinyl trying to get it done before the weekend so yes I was slightly neglecting my kids. Ethan only takes a 45 minute nap.Then he decides that he is going to empty out my silverware drawer, then he gets in the pantry and pulls out all the sandwich bags out of the box. Then after I clean that up he finds the big open bag of goldfish crackers and dumps them on the floor. So I let him play in it for a minute while I hurray and finish what I was working on by the time I was done there were crackers everywhere. Lucky for me I had 2 helpers cleaning it up. So bed time hits and the two kids wont go to sleep. I sat in there room for a good half hour to keep Ethan from screaming then I give up and let Ethan screams for another 20 minutes. Finally I go back in there and sit for another 15 minutes and he finally falls asleep. Trey in the mean time keeps coming out of his room, trying to sleep on the floor and what ever else he can do to stay awake.
Today was so much better other then Trey waking up at 6:45. Ethan took a 3 1/2 hour nap. Tonight they went to bed perfect. I did the nightly routine laid them both down and walked out of the room not one single peep from them.

Sweet funny boy

On Saturday we were just hanging at home doing some projects around the house. Matt had to go to work that night and we were talking to Trey about it. Trey didn't want him to go to work.We told him that dad had to go to work to earn money. Trey told us that he had money and ran to his piggy bank and got some money out and put it in a bag for us, and told us that he was sharing his money with us. What a sweet boy.
On Sunday at church the ward choir was singing. He wanted me to go up there and sing with them. For any one who knows me and my family WE CAN'T SING. I told him it was for really good singers and mom was not one them. He told me he would help me sing and begged me to go up.
This weekend we are going to St George for a long needed vacation. We are so excited. I was telling Trey how we are going to St George and of all the things we are going to do there. The next morning he come in to my room with his stuffed giraffe Sam and tells me Sam wants to go to Curious George. (St George) Then today he started packing his toys for Curious George and wanted to go on a nature hike and go deer hunting with bullets while we are in St George.

Swimming Lessons

Trey just finished up his first swimming lessons on Thursday. He did really good. The last fifteen minutes they let the kids play on the toys. He was so excited he had been waiting to play. Every day he would ask.
He will now put his face under the water and he can float on his back for a few seconds.
He loved swimming lessons. I on the other half was not so happy with them. He did great but the teacher was a not the nicest lady. They have had a couple of complaints about her not being so nice to the kids. Trey didn't seem to notice that she wasn't the friendliest. On Wednesday of this week they only had one life guard that showed up on time, there was another life guard there but didn't care to do his job and left. They had to move the little kids to another pool so the life guard could watch 3 swimming classes and about 25 people doing water aerobics. About half way through the lessons 2 other life guards came in and didn't think that they needed to do their job, they thought that they could just stand there and talk to the 1 life guard on duty. At this point the kids were in the deep end and they were holding on to the side. Trey was bobbing up and down while the teacher was taking another kid out swimming and Trey let go of the side and was struggling to get the side, he was bobbing up and down and luckily there was an older kid from another class right there to grab his arm and pull him to the side since the life guards didn't seem to care. I was so mad. Later I called and talked to the lady over life guards and she agreed that the life guards weren't doing there job and actually 6 people got in trouble for it. I wasn't the only mom who called and complained another mom called to (her daughter is a life guard and knew all the rules-) The next day (last day) there were 4 lifeguards on duty and they actually did the job the way they were suppose to do their jobs. Every fifteen minutes they would rotate and not take their eyes off the kids.
