THE GRAY AREA

I guess we have been taking a lot of pictures lately, because Scarlet has been standing in front of the camera saying cheese and posing, then she runs to Kurt to look at the picture on the back of the camera. She always says"who's that" It is so so cute. I love this kid so much.

I thought I'd throw a picture in of the boys and their paper toys. They have Made spiders, horses lions, dinosaurs, anything that moves pretty much.

Kurt spent all morning today making a Rocket out of paper and duct tape for Lucas. According to his specifications the Rocket had to be huge like his dads arm, and the point on top had to point exactly up (no leaning.) After a few tears from Lucas and a few from Kurt we had lift off. Only for a short while, and then Lou wanted to make one for his brother. Aaaaaah

" Mom, When is my dad going to get his giant shovel and scoop all of this snow out of this Great Valley because I'm ready for summer." exact words no kidding..

Scarlet is finally feeling better, thank goodness. We have seen a side of her nobody should ever see. This kid knows what she wants and if she doesn't get it, Watch Out!!! Screaming in the middle of the night to the top of her lungs. (I had no idea a baby could scream that loud) We thought something was seriously wrong. Kurt jumps out of bed and runs in her room only to have his head bitten off. Binkies were thrown, pillows and blankets every where. kurt quickley returns to tell me that he is too scared and I should go. So being the brave mother that I think I am I attempt the Beast. Sure enough binkies thrown in my face, her back arched, legs kicking, so I decide to pick her up and she settles right down. After I realize shes perfectly fine and she is just wanting us to put her to sleep by holding her. I attempt to but her back in her crib. Not a pretty sight. I ended up shutting all doors, plugging my ears, and sadly had to let her fight it out on her own. This happened three more times that week. Eventually the crying episodes became shorter and shorter when she realized she wasn't getting what she wanted. I have a feeling she might be a little difficult with things to come, However she's still our little sweetheart and we love her.

Lucas was so excited to blow out the candles. He was able to finally blow them out as we all watched him spit all over the cake. It still tasted good, Coldstone's Raspberry pie ice cream cake. so tasty...

Louies 4th birthday party was a big success. We had all of the family and friends come to Kangaroo Zoo where they could bounce on great big dragons crocodiles and more. The kids had a ball especially Lucas. He asked me if I would comb his hair really big like a princess for his birthday party. He did really well opening presents. I was worried that he would offend someone by saying" I don't want this toy I want a corvette toy." He was good up until he opened the clothes. He was super cute and has been a different kid ever since the big day. He has been much easier.
