Getting a break
1st blog in a while... last week was a long one to say the least. Magdalene is teething already, and totally miserable. So she and I have been a little cranky-functioning on very little sleep. This tends to also bring out the worst in Gideon. He has been quite a monster, probably the worst week of 'terrible twos' I've ever experienced!! Needless to say I am a little frazzled and in need of a break. 'Papa Donny' to the rescue!! He came and captured the boy yesterday and is keeping him a few days. Of course each time I've called to check in on them Gideon is just being an angel... typical. Meanwhile, Maggie and I are not quite sure what to do with so much peace and quiet. So pretty much we just sleep...A Lot. Looks like Gideon is really suffering and missing us bad, huh?

Today Gideon is stuck inside - it rained all night and our yard is a swamp. This is not a good thing for a busy little boy. Yesterday we actually got out in the rain for a while. I figured everyone that drove by was wondering if I had run out of ritalin!! Gideon was zipping through the puddles in the gutter, making dinosaur noises. That's just him - all boy! I had to strip him down to his Elmo undies to come inside and it occured to me again... he is growing up so fast. So today, all cooped up, he has created himself a workstation out of every stool and chair we own. When I asked him why he was precariously standing on one of the stools, he informed me, "Mama, sometimes I have work to do."
just learning
I am so behind the times. This is the first blogging I have ever done, so please forgive whatever mistakes I make. Anyway, I have some friends that have set up on this website and it looks like a good way to keep up with folks and show off recent pics of the kiddos!! Hope I get the hang of it soon.
