Twohoneymooners With Kids: October 2010

In an attempt to occupy our kids while we played a game together, one of my friends set up some 'rotations'. 4 activities, with a timer set to rotate through. Simple stuff. Kids loved it. We loved it! I still love it - it's the best after school activity - and I snuck in 'fold laundry' and they didn't even complain! Yay! And so because I think Daniel is pretty visual (he is a boy, right?!!), I printed out an oh-so-complicated circle with dividing lines, and stuck on... wait for it... Post-it Notes!! Rocket science, I know. The ride home from school has lately sounded like this: "Can we please do rotations, please?!" Good ideas, even simple ones... worth their weight in gold.

"Five.....oh, TWO!!"

Ask Nick how old he is, and this is what he says. He gets ahead of himself sometimes, but you can't blame him really, since he has no idea what FIVE means!!

Happy birthday Nick, we think you're a big kid now, even if you aren't 5 yet!!!

"N" pancake for birthday breakfast

And of course, there were 2 birthdays on the 8th!

Happy 60th Oma, I'll help you blow out your candles cause I only have 2!!

And a bike for his birthday, so now when he says 'my bike' it actually is his!!

Can I just parent some adults for a change?

I'm sure I would have coped better today if I had been in charge of 3 grownups...

The boys

Poor kids - parents never stop comparing them to each other.
Everyone's been telling me lately how Nick is a mini-me of Daniel. Okay, sibling likeness yes, but I've always thought Daniel looked so different to Nick. It depends on the photo, and their hair is different, so who knows. I kinda think the resemblance between Laura and Nick is stronger.
