February Fun

Well, I can't believe it is March already! Where has the time gone? Things have been busy around here, as per usual. My co-worker Keely, had her baby a week ago so I am working more hours and am super busy at work. It is definitely crazy but work is challenging and fun for the most part so that is good. I feel like my time is spread so thin right now so we are striving to find a good balance. I don't work Friday days so that has been my day for fun (and housework) with the kids. Lately we have just started having "rest time" instead of nap time. Owen and Kennedy need to spend one hour resting in their room. About 5 days out of 7 they do nap for a bit but they also like to play. The other week when Kennedy woke up I went in her room to get her and I found this.

She not only made herself a bed in her closet with every blanket and stuffed animal she has; she also changed her clothes.

complete with stripped socks that match the new pants she found and she climbed the shelves in her closet to get her polka dot shoes. When it is rest time I try not to go into their rooms if they are fairly quiet. I honestly had no idea until after rest time what she was doing, I just kept hearing her giggle. When I opened the door she said "look mom, I made a snow pile to jump in" ha!

We took the kids to a C-R-A-Z-Y place full of inflatable slides and obstacle courses. We all had a BLAST. It was non stop going for a full hour. Owen has NO FEAR, the higher the slide the more fun. Family picture at the top of the big alligator slide.

We ALL had a great time and we will be sure to return soon. Three is definitely a fun age because they like to joke, play and they say funny things all the time. Seriously, I crack up almost everyday! However, it is a VERY trying time as well. Owen and Kennedy are both very shy with adults. Owen tends to lash out and yell or kick or hit when he gets embarrassed or is very shy. We are trying to teach him other ways to act in those situations but it is hard....if anyone has any suggestions please share!!!


Here is to the greatest dad! With me working more, he is definitely picking up the slack and being very supportive...thanks babe:)
