Bedtime Wildness






Am I alone here? Are anyone else's kids so wild before bed that you swear you will go crazy? Either way, I could sell tickets for the show that occurs between 7:00 and 8:00pm EVERY NIGHT around here! After dinner, we head upstairs. Some nights they take a bath or shower and some nights it's straight into jammies. Then the real action starts. Mostly, Tanner finds one car and pushes it around until time for bed. Oh, he does pause to scream bloody murder if Ryan tries to take it away or if it gets stuck somewhere. Most likely, he has pushed it under something on purpose only to create a bit of drama. Ryan runs wildly through the house usually making some awful, high pitched sound that probably drives the neighborhood dogs crazy. It drives me crazy, too. He only pauses to ask for some more food, because he never eats enough at the dinner table. Depending upon my strength left at that point in the day, sometimes he gets more and others I'm able to fight the good fight and explain the difference in meal time and bedtime. We go round and round on food. We always have. I'll post more on this later. For the last 30 minutes or so, they both get so silly that it is impossible to not laugh at them. These pictures are proof of that. I hope you enjoy a small taste of our life. It's not fair that I keep it all to myself!!! :)

Cute Kid Alert!






Well, I'm finally on the mend. I still have a pretty ferocious cough and am really congested, but the fever and aches seem to have passed. Now I'm just so sore across my abs! It's like I've done sit ups every second for the last 5 days. I'm just trying to drink lots of water and get good sleep at night. What else can you do? So, on that note, I'm only posting some cute pics from the last few days. Ryan's Valentine's dance was fun. We got a TON of rain yesterday which is always worth mentioning. I'm not sure it's worth the picture I made of it, but whatever. This afternoon we went to the park with some friends and Tanner decided to give the big kid slide a whirl...so in true "crazy Tanner-man" fashion, he went head first and loved it. Enjoy the pics. I'll try to write something a bit more entertaining or thought provoking later this week. Wish me luck!
