Sunny days

We have been busy. It all started with my two kiddos causing a stir. I come in one day after an attempted naptime to find their room a disaster. And part of the disaster was caused by a nice book (even signed by grandma w.) ripped to shreds. I was planning a gradual move to the basement bedroom for them but it happened a little more quickly. It was actually more like an exile. I moved their beds down there right away and stripped the room of everything else. The only thing in there is the night light, monitor, and beds. I thought it was kid proof. It seems like every day, they find something else to destroy in there. They found the instruction manual under the crib slats and ripped it to shreds. Today I go down there and Jacob has ripped a huge hole in his mattress and pulled out the stuffing so it now shows bare springs. I told him he has to pay me for the mattress with whatever money he has. It's too bad he doesn't have any. But he seemed penitent. Until next naptime I am sure. Or attempted naptime I should say.

On a brighter note, we have been loving the weather. We go outside and play a lot. And go to the park. And they are easily entertained outside. It's pretty nice.

Jane is doing well too. She's a cutie. She has started figuring out how to grab something and get it to her mouth. She makes me smile. And so do my boys. I'm sure one day I'll think of the mattress and be a little nostalgic. Not today.

I'm off to hunt bears. Oh the versatile life of a mom.
