Yep, still doing the whole field trip/garden thing. I can't help it...I am addicted!!! Spring time has me wanting to be outside as much as possible...thank you very much allergy medicine:) We lured Michael to Azalea Gardens again. It's such a pretty place. The kids ran around and explored, Sadie picked up rocks (she's addicted!), and we just enjoyed being outside. I was away again in the afternoon, so the kids and Daddy enjoyed some 'together' time. Michael was in bed by 8:15:) Oh, and the kids too!
Mother's Day was fabulous...Michael got the kids from bed (yey, 10 extra minutes!!!) and then they made me croissants:) It was sweet. We headed off to Great Falls where the water was out of control! It was loud and crazy and it scared the kids a bit, but it was amazing.
Today we attempted a venture to Brookeside Gardens to check out the butterfly exhibit. Unfortunately, there were a bazillion field trips that had the same plan. We never made it in and Skyler was devastated that he didn't get to see his 'monarch butterflies'. I promised him a return trip with a phone call to make sure we would definitely get in. I hate the whole disappointing thing...I always feel so badly:(
Updates....
Did I mention how much Sadie loves Skyler? She worships him... Of course they fight over their toys, and Skyler has finally started sticking up for himself. But she does EVERYTHING he does. When he is in time out, she follows him, sits with him, puts her arm around him and asks, "Is kyler happy?". If he says no, she gives him kisses till he laughs. I mean, really??? Time out is usually over because we are all laughing. I keep telling him that being a big brother is important and it means he has to follow all the rules, but I think he hears the first two words, and the rest is history. She literally will follow him around and imitate everything. In the car, she tries to carry on a conversation with 'Kyler'. I love it:)
She has also decided she is part of his karate lesson. Mr. Daniel gets the class started and Sadie is right there next to Skyler (and he asks his teacher if it's ok she sits with him). She says 'yes sir, hi ya, look in the eyes, and counts in korean!) She literally participates the whole time and gets so mad at me when I make her sit in my lap. Thank goodness Skyler's teacher is a patient man!
Azalea Gardens
This is usually the picture I can get of Skyler these days....he is either being a goofball or talking to us about everything and anything.
Wow...a picture of me and the kids...go figure:)
Mother's Day...Great Falls
Can you look at what she's doing? Really? Right above the raging falls and rickety fence? I was having a heart attack!
Another one:)
He climbed to the top of a big rock...looks like he's flying!
Brookeside Gardens...minus the butterflies:(
The sidewalk was made of rocks in cement...was driving her crazy that she couldn't get them!
Talking...asking questions....talking....making faces.....LOVE HIM!
He looks for every sign and asks me to read him the whole thing....
Finally, a HAPPY face:)
They actually cooperated:)
