If I don't beat my kids or have a nervous breakdown today, it will be a miracle! They're driving me crazy! And since Corban has given up the nap and is doing quite time, he's woken Caden up A LOT in the last few days, so by 5 or 6 they're both completely miserable to be around!

Tomorrow's agenda: keep Tanner, try to color Easter eggs, not go nuts on my kids.

A few times now Corban has said, "Daddy, you sing me lulla-goodbye?" as he's going to bed. Too cute! Of course he just said, "Mommy, I've got some snot and a boogie." Great.

Funny Things the Boys Have Said

OK, this is the third time I've tried to write this, and it's nothing but a list! A short one at that! * Corban has been eating really well lately and we've had coleslaw a few times in the last weeks. He loves it, and always calls it clo saw. * Caden always calls band-aids, dandaids. * Johnny to Caden: "You're welcome son." Caden to Johnny: "Me not son. Me Aiden!" * Corban to me: "Mommy, Caden said stupid!" Me: "I don't think he said that." Caden: "Oh yeah, me said stupid!" We had a bit of a rough day today, hoping for a better night's sleep and a better day tomorrow! Oh, and better weather would be nice too!

Can I just say that if the weather doesn't straighten up, I'm going to fall into a deep dark depression of which I will never be able to return? The days it's actually a little warmer, it's raining... or snowing... or hailing. The rest of the time it's just dang cold. I'm tired of it. Anybody got a house in Florida? Other than the weather, things are pretty much the same around here. The rest of this week is going to be pretty busy. Today Corban has school and I'm keeping Joshua for Craig and Di. He'll be here at 10, not sure when he's leaving. Then we have prayer group at church tonight. Tomorrow Johnny is going fishing and I've got Tanner, the 7 month old, all day long. Saturday I'm doing a trade show until early afternoon. Busy busy! Corban has pretty much given up the nap now. I know that he's 4 years old and it's time, but oh, it makes life hard. We've had to really work with him to stay in quiet time in his room while Caden is napping. I've got to have at least an hour in the day without kids! We bought him a little nerf dart gun that he can't have until he gets 10 stickers, one for each day he's a good boy in quiet time. That's helped, and so have the legos. He got a box of legos for his birthday and he's been LOVING them. I let him take them up into his bed and that keeps him pretty occupied. In fact, I went up to let him out of quiet time yesterday and played with him for a bit. When I had to come back down to get dinner in the oven he stayed up there for another 20 minutes or so! I can't believe how much of a big boy he is! Caden is as wild as ever. He's defiant and obstinant, but he's so sweet at cute at the same time! Potty training is NOT going well with him. He goes on the pott a lot, he just won't tell me when he needs to go. I guess I'm waiting until it gets warmer to do the naked training. He's got to be trained before fall or he can't go to school. I was just telling Corban to sit still and Caden says, "Mommy, you don't talk to my friend brudda nasty." Can you tell this boy has attitude?
