Bedtime Miracle

The oddest thing happened this evening. Frank put pajamas on the kids (no, that's not the odd part.) and a little bit later Joseph came up to me wanting to sing some songs. I'm ok with that so we sing the spider song and book of mormon stories. Then he folds his arms and says, "prayer, Mom". No arguring with that. He then grabs my hand and says come on; we go to his room and read a few books. Then he gets in bed. (that's the odd part in case you didn't notice) and so now it's 8:03 and my kids have been in bed for 20 minutes and they put themselves there.

"My favorite present.. Food!"



I know this picture is a little blurry as I didn't have time to fix the camera settings, but I just thought it was so cute. They were giving each other kisses.

June 30, 2006

So much has happened since March that I don't even want to type a summary. 3 birthdays, 2 family trips, 3 haircuts, moving, etc.. So, instead, I'll just make this a picture dump. enjoy. :)

Update

Joseph got his much needed hair cut which was tramatic as always. Derek and Joseph love to do everything the same especially if that means playing with the same toy. Generally Joseph has a toy and Derek swipes it from him and so Joseph cries. So we give Derek a different toy and Joseph swipes that and Derek cries. etc. etc. etc. No, actually they play very well together. It is soo obvious that they love each other.

Frank's week off

Frank had his spring break last week. Here are some pictures of how it went.
