Sometimes it is the smallest things that make a huge difference. Ella has been having “Quiet Time” everyday. She ends up laying on the floor and falls asleep…but may play with toys quietly in her room if she wishes.
I’ve come to notice that her small blankets she has used since being a baby have come to be too small and she can’t bundle up under them. Last night I gave her one of my blankets that I cuddle under on the couch. She loved sleeping under it. Today I found the quilt we purchased for her bed but hasn’t used yet. I put it on her bed and at “Quiet Time” she jumped right up on her bed, got under the covers and went to sleep!!!!

My two sidekicks and I just returned from a nice walk! I taught them well…everytime a car passed us we would stop and wait for the car to pass!
What a nice neighborhood too..every car that passed waved to us, even the garbage men!!!

Arrived home from Momom and PoPops & they requested to stay in the van to watch Curious George!

Highlight of my day: swimming in freezing ice cold water in our new deck pool with my Princess!!!
While cold, it is a memory I will always cherish!

Yabba Dabba Do… We spent $56 dollars on rubber!

Would it be bad parenting to break a book out when the children decide to have tantrums?
With how this week has been, I could get a lot of reading done while they have their fits!!!
Tonight while Ella “fitted out” for 20 minutes plus because she didn’t want to get dressed after bath, I took advice from a friend who said to sing —Momma said there’d be days like this….to bad I only know those words! Yep, a book would be so much more fulfilling!!!
