Love Punches

Me: Don't hit your brother.
J: I did punch nicely to him.

Me: J, put your body in a chair!
J: Stop saying my body!

J (very serious, putting his hand on Dad's): Dad, calm down. Stay calm, Daddy. You feel hot, Daddy.

Me: J, you need to eat the oatmeal you asked for.
D: Or no DS! You have to be nice and healthy to play the DS.

D: Mom, I need some juice!  Mom, I need some juice! Mom, I need some juice!
Me: You're going to have to be patient.
D: I am being patient. But I'm thirsty and need some juice.
Me: Not right this second.  Go get some water.
D: But water is not my favorite drink.  *cries*

D: Mom, I wanna go camping!


(2/19) Work day for me, and Dad had the boys.  He ran up and retrieved our trailer.  Can't wait for summer camping trips!


(2/20) Hockey day for the boys.  C played aggressively today. His team won both games.  The littles were a challenge to get dressed and on the ice today.  D kept screaming in the locker room, which is extra fun for me. I finally got them out there, and they used a chair and a walker and did a fair amount of skating.  We had a sitter this evening so Dad and I could go out.  She showed up and we waved BYYYYEEEE.


(2/21) Lazy bum day.  J woke up early, and then woke everyone else up.  I threw breakfast at the boys and tried to go back to sleep, eventually giving up because they kept wanting more, or this, or that.  Sigh.  We hung out in our jammies until just before the grandparents showed up to watch the littles while the rest of us went to a hockey game.  It was a good game ~ we won 4-1.  The littles zonked really early tonight.  D has been getting into anything and everything lately, and when he's especially naughty, it's usually because he's tired.


(2/22) Work day for Dad & me.  All boys are back in school this week, and even though the littles crashed early last night, they both fell asleep after preschool this morning. Maybe the nap can come back?  Wishful thinking.


(2/23) Work day for Dad & me.  I took a class after work, so hardly saw my guys at all, other than dropping them off before work.  Sigh.


(2/24) C woke up with a fever, so we're bumming it at home today.  Sad we missed pajama day at preschool.
