When I have proof of everyone playing nicely and having a good time, it makes me wonder what is going on with them when they are driving each other nuts?!? Yesterday went rather smoothly, although Alexys wasn't out of her room for most of the day. She was banished to her room to clean it. I say banished because that is what she turned her room cleaning into. She decided to take about 5 hours to get the room done. Now, why she takes so long I have no idea! But, like I said, it was pretty quiet around here yesterday. I was periodically checking in on her and I would think, "have you even done anything in here??". It looked the same for at least three hours. She did seem rather content to spend her afternoon in her room. Then when she says to me it is almost done, I go with her to look. I was surprised, it looked great aside from the fact that she had shoved everything under her bed! This is where we have a difference of opinion on how to clean a room. I was thinking she could go ahead and put things away while she is thinking, out of site out of mind! Well, she forgot that while it may be out of her mind, it is never out of her mother's mind!! In the end, the room looks really good! Maybe I will even get to see Alexys today.Friday, July 9, 2010
Getting Along
See, I am not crazy, they all CAN get along! This was a tea party Apryl and Alexys threw for the little people. They made food and put up decorations, they even handed out invitations to the boys and Addy.
