Lasts nights dinner was a total bust. And honestly, I kind of knew it would be as I was preparing it. Lime and cumin marinated chicken breasts, quinoa with corn and black beans, and homemade guacamole. I thought it was delicious and am ecstatic to have leftovers!
Nolan started his weekend off pretty badly when I told him he wouldn’t be going to the Monster Truck show. I found his DS cord cut in half. He said he didn’t know why he did it. His DS is now mine. It went downhill after that for him. Nick found some new artwork on the wall. Nolan admitted to doing it, (pretty obvious when it’s his name that’s on the wall!) but once again, didn’t know why he did it. We took away all his craft supplies for the week. It didn’t really affect him until last night when he wanted to draw his teacher a picture and we reminded him that he doesn’t have anything to draw with.
We have created some Dawydenko House Rules to work on. The boys came up with them. Its amazing that when I ask them what some rules are that they need to work on, they can spit them right out.
- Keep our hands off mom and dad’s things.
- No jumping on the furniture.
- Pick up our toys without argument.
- Do not talk back to mom or dad.
If they follow these rules we’ve decided on prizes along they way. A visit to the ice cream shop, a trip to Toys R Us to spend their gift cards, and a trip to the movies. Hopefully those are incentives enough! Time will tell.
I made Little E some peas last night, it didn’t go over well. He gagged on every bite. We tried about 5 bites before I gave up and moved on to carrots. I’ll try again in a couple weeks since I now have peas all made in the freezer.
We took the boys out to a friend’s house on Sunday in hopes of doing some sledding. There wasn’t much snow, but they decided to try it anyway. Omar went flying down the hill yelling and laughing the whole way. Nolan went a couple feet before stopping himself because he got scared. He acts so tough, but it’s all a front.
After sledding we went out to the chicken coop to get some eggs. Omar walked right in and started petting all the chickens, Nolan stood in the doorway and jumped every time a chicken looked at him!
I’m totally addicted to my new hobby, crocheting! I think about it all day long! I’m getting better at it, and I have a lot of plans for things to make! I just wish I had more time!!
