Mommy's Hero!

His first kill!

I hate spiders and Russ is the only one who kills them for me.  So today I took the opportunity to instill no fear of spiders in my boys.  It worked!  Wyatt took a shoe, gave it a few hits and made his first kill.  Now maybe I won't have to live in fear while Russ is at work. :)

Reunited And It Feels So Good

The kids are rewarded for good behavior by earning tickets.  When they reach 20 tickets they can go out for ice cream.  Trevor was the first boy to get to 20 tickets and went out with Daddy for some ice cream.  This was the first time the twins have not gone somewhere together.  They did fine.  Aurora and Landon on the other hand, had a difficult time.  Aurora moped around while he was gone and even looked at a picture and said, "I miss Trevor."  Wyatt laid on the floor and watched a show, unfazed by the whole thing.  Landon threw a fit, because he wanted to get ice cream too.  So their first separation went great.  As you can tell by the video, we may have a little actress in our midst. :)

A little hint of chocolate left from his ice cream sundae.  He was very proud of himself for earning 20 tickets. :)

When I Grow Up..

Today at breakfast Aurora asked Wyatt what he wanted to be when he grew up.  Wyatt's reply was, "Spiderman, so I can climb trees."  So I went around and asked each kid.  Landon wants to be a fireman so he can drive a Barney Firetruck around.  Trevor wants to be a spider and drive a garbage truck and Aurora wants to be a UPS girl and even wrote a song about it.  Lofty aspirations!!!
