We've had a wonderfully quiet family day at home. I went out for a short bit this morning and came home in time to watch all 3 boys give the dogs a bath. After that and a bath the boys were beat and took a 2-3 hour nap. I would call that a good day.
The boys had a school music and art night on Thursday. The school is entirely too small to have a concert, but it was still really neat to see the art work the boys' have done this year and to hear them sing a couple of songs with their classmates.
Pictures of the boys next to their pictures. I think they took the picture of the stuff and their art teacher obviously took the picture of them.
Greg was gone most of this past week and Ryan had a few challenging moments. His teachers at school even asked about his behavior. I think it stems from him wanting individual attention and the easiest way for him to get it is to act up. We went through this with him last spring and we took him out for a day (rode the train downtown and ate lunch). I think we'll do something with just him again when we're in Lubbock. He loves to throw the football with Greg (he has quite an arm) and had a meltdown tonight when Luke wanted to join in. In his mind, that his special thing to do with Daddy. During one of his time outs this week he had an anger meltdown and shouted "Bad Mama." I thought it was pretty funny. He can get so angry, but he was already in timeout, so I thought it best to ignore him.
Luke's thing this week has been pretending to have a "nice quiet picnic." He loves to bring his blanket from his bed downstairs and spread it out on the floor in the playroom. He has the best time getting us all to sit down while he runs around the house pretending to get food (like marshmallows for some reason). He must have gotten his G-Nanny's compulsion to constantly serve and never sit down and join the rest of us. It totally cracks us up - he gets so in to it.
While Greg and Luke were giving the dogs a bath, Ryan chose to sled down the half melted hill in the back yard.
Luke loved spray the dogs with the hose.
Video of the boys doing some sort of song with their class about a snowman. I'm not really sure what Luke is doing at the end of it.
Lastly, a little glimpse into the attitude we've been dealing with lately. He is really such a sweet pleasant boy, but he works so hard to try to make us think otherwise.
