Ever Have A Day Like This?


Henry has been loving kindergarten.  He thinks it is awesome, he loves going to school, he loves playing with the other kids and he loves learning.  In addition to going to kindergarten Henry goes to work with me in the morning.  Where he does his perfect impression and is very well behaved.  He has no desire to go to the day care offered at the pool so he hangs out on deck with the lifeguards or he gets in the water and takes a lesson or two.


(Ok not a picture at the pool I work at, but a picture of Henry in a pool, it totally counts)

So do you know what happens to Henry when he has these full days?  He gets tired. Very, very, very tired.  But he is to cool for naps. He is to cool to go to bed before all the big kids go to bed. He is to cool to admit that he is tired.

So he does the following.  Be aware that I am spilling dirty laundry here.  I am letting you know that my perfectly adorable impression of perfection is ummmm not so perfect. He like other kids his age gets tired and then does this:


Last night I said go to bed or I am going to take pictures of you throwing a fit and post it on the blog.

He just kept doing this.



It was a tragedy you see that caused this.  Andrew had bumped into him.  I had Andrew flogged but this just continued. Until he realized that I was just going to keep taking pictures.  Then he ran away and went to bed.  Before the big kids. Happy Days

When he woke up this morning he looked like this.  


Perfect Henry was back. So people here is my first question, why is it that we spend the whole of our youth avoiding naps at all cost (even when we need them) and as an adult the only thing we can imagine is the bliss of a long undisturbed nap? My second question, why is it when I have long tiring days nobody makes me go to bed early? 

PS  I just have to say this I do have an awesome mom who puts up with the Krissi you don't meet much in this blog. I have to say she gets the raw end of the deal but I don't know what I would do without her.

It's funny how kids wake up and they forget how angry they were the night before. He is so cute!

You're right! There are so many days that I wish I could be sent to my room by myself and have no one allowed to talk to me. It would be so glorious.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...

Halloween and Cars

The Holiday season is officially upon us. The day of Trick or Treats is here. The pumpkins are carved and sitting on the doorstep. The costumes are ready and the kids are excited for the night to begin. If there is anything that makes me feel young it is the holidays. The holidays feel me with excitement, creativity, and hope. Basically, in my opinion there is nothing better than the holidays. Yes, in this particular post I am choosing to ignore the stress that often accompanies the holidays. What stress? Last week was a very busy week. Tuesday night was the pinewood derby.  H. was a little intense when it came to building and constructing his car. He spent weeks researching learning all the tricks and tips. He grew increasingly impatient whenever Brent tried to interfere during the construction phase. The night of the actual competition his mom could see the look of intensity and competition written all over his face. Even as he casually looked over the competiti...
