Cubs vs Cards in St. Louis

I think this is a great picture! Yes, I'm a very partial mother who thinks her boys are cute! More pictures will follow.

It's been awhile...

It has been almost two months since I last posted. Time has been absolutely insane since I returned home from training in Chadds Ford, PA. That is a very pretty area I might add. Since the last post, we've celebrated both the Bain Boys birthdays. Scott & I decided last minute on April 30, that we would take the boys to St. Louis to see the Cubs vs Cards. Within 20 minutes, we had the dogs scheduled for boarding, tickets to the game and a hotel. WOW! The power of the internet!

The following weekend was Logan's birthday, we celebrated our niece's graduation and mother's day all within that weekend. Mind you we still worked during this time and as starting a new job goes, well, it's rather stressful!!!

The third weekend in May comes along and Scott took Logan to Wrigley for his first Cubs home game. The following day was Coulson's turn. They both got to ride the train into the city and the L to Wrigley. Coulson was more interested in the trains than the ballgame that day. It was also very chilly too. On those days, I took the opposite boy to go see Speed Racer. Cute movie but I really didn't need to see it twice in two days, oh well, they were happy and that's all that matters.

We do have some pictures and I'll get them posted before this Memorial Day weekend.

Until then, blessings to you and your family!

Time To Go...

Home study is over and now it is time to temporarily move to Chadds Ford, PA for the next stage of training. I'm so not ready to go as I'm not packed, still have laundry to do, make sure everything is done for the Bain Boys & Scott but I'm checked in for my flight! Scott is still sleeping, he has to work tonight. I feel really bad because he'll work all night come home and maybe get a couple of hours of a nap in before I leave.

I do have Easter pictures that I wanted to post be haven't found the time to do that, sorry. It will eventually get done, maybe by their birthdays. Time is moving too fast.

I will write once I'm in PA but until then...enjoy the Spring that is slowly arriving.

Disrespect...and lessons

I'm studying about pain management when I get a call from Kindercare. First thought, who's sick? Nope...Asst. Director, Michelle would like me to talk to Coulson because he's causing a disturbance in the class. I realize that when Coulson was sick he did have a little personality disturbance during that week but it has been progressing into school as I found out yesterday. We had a talk at home, he claims he understood but evidently it didn't work.

This is what happened...Miss Ryan is getting all the kids set up for naps after lunch and asks Coulson to get on his cot. Coulson said "No." Miss Ryan again asks him to get on his cot for a nap. This time he sticks his tongue out and screams No as he began running around the classroom. That's when Michelle called.




I proceeded to tell Coulson that I was disappointed in his behavior and this was going to stop because it was not only unacceptable but disrespectful to Miss Ryan. "Ok Mommy."

It's 4:30 pm, I go to pick him up and he just got put into "Time Out" for not listening and talking back to Miss Ryan.

Needless to say, I'm not happy with his behavior. It is a full moon, do you think it has anything to do with it?

Logan had a great day! He got to meet a newly graduated Marine from Bootcamp. Miss Voegtle, Logan's Kindergarten teacher, invited her brother to read to the students. It was also hat day and Logan was able to wear the hat of a US Marine! He thinks that is cool!

Coulson is having a very difficult time at the moment because he is in his room. That's his punishment for his disrespectful behavior. He is now trying to negotiate with Scott to get out of time out. He says, "Don't you see my tears?" He doesn't have a tear, let alone trying to make one.


Note: DO NOT STICK YOUR TONGUE OUT AT YOUR TEACHER! He's lucky I haven't pulled it out of his mouth and put sassy sauce (tabasco) on it.

The Easter Bunny...

Last night we saw the bunny...Easter Bunny.



Coulson asked the Easter Bunny for Optimus Prime. He loves the Transformers!

Logan asked for a DS. I had to consult Scott on this and evidently its a little video game. Ok, I'm not ready for them to play the video games but I suppose this was on the horizon.










When I picked up Logan from school, he shared with me that he was student of the day! Good Job! Mommy and daddy are very proud of you!
