Screams and cries were so loud that only dogs could identify the exact words being said. So, now we are drawing near to that time of year again. The worries--during the months of August and September Koen was pulling 6:30-7 wake up times. I was in heaven. I couldn't have asked for anything more. On the weekend that daylight savings time should have been (first Sunday/Monday of October), he woke up at 7:45 a.m. Why couldn't that have been daylight savings day? Why? Oh why? The reason for this panic: he's been taunting me with 5:35-6:07 a.m. wake up times. Do you realize what time in the morning that will be in exactly 14 days?

Curse the Daylight Savings!
I am so dreading this daylight saving ordeal. Why? Why? Seriously, who is it really saving? A little history lesson on dear sweet Koen. Last year he had a horrible habit of waking up between the hours of 4-5 a.m. Tell me about it. I was the only one in Walmart with a child fully dressed and peppy at 5:30 a.m. I tried almost everything to change his wake up time. For months we experimented with ideas. Nothing worked. Well, almost nothing until we just decided to ignore him completely. It took me exactly 37 days of intense, hard core refinement for him to break the habit. (See, his pictu

General Conference Insight #279
My kids are absolutely hilarious! I know that I was suppose to be watching general conference and taking notes but seriously, my kids are funny. *Please ignore the poor filming. I was incognito in the laundry room trying to record them to avoid the infamous, "Let me see! Let me see!"
Out of all the things that happen in General Conference, Daradie digs the Mo Tab. She's loving the sparkly brooches and the lady with the purple hair pulled up with curls on her head. Why not pretend to be in the choir as well? And yes. Her hymnal is the official Candyland game board. Hey, just like President Monson instructed us--the moments of windows and walls with dirty handprints and floors covered with toys like everyday is Christmas morning will soon be gone. Make the best and the most of what I have now! This is my pl
ayroom floor in all it's glory. The time is 9:55 p.m. Oh well. They had fun playing today!
