Like Banging my Head Against the Wall

Last night - 12:48am.

Wyatt is up with a bad tummy ache (we think) - he has been crying and yelling for over an hour.  He is finally calm and I take out the tylenol drops for a dose that might actually help him sleep.  He decides that he wants to play with the bottle and the box.  It starts off well enough - he puts the drops in the box, he takes it out of the box, he puts it in the box and he takes it out of the box . . . and so on a so forth. 

As he gets more and more tired he starts to get more and more frustrated.  Now he is having a hard time  putting it in the box which makes him cry in anger and frustration.  Once he gets it in the box he cries even harder in anger and frustration because, wait for it, it is in the box.  SO, he cries when it is in the box and he cries when it is out of he box.

Sometimes, I just can't win.  Like banging my head.  After a few rounds of this most frustrating game I took it all away and distracted him with a piece of French bread.

Cuteness Check

Yep,  they are still the cutest kids ever!

Wyatt Finger Paints :)

Before inspiration hit, Wyatt painted like a normal child. 

BEFORE:

When his inspiration struck him, things went a little wild.  I believe that Wyatt may have been inspired by one of our favorite books, "I AINT Gonna Paint No More", by Karen Beaumont

AFTER:

Happy Halloween!

Getting ready for Halloween kept us busy.  Check it out :).

First, we picked out pumpkins.  There were many choices.

For reasons that are beyond me, our children seem to like the pumpkins with warts - Yuck!

We had plenty of time to be silly, or course.

Then we got to work. 

TA DA - We did good.  Good work all around.  Please meet our witch and our girl ghoul.

A few more decorations. We made 2 girl ghosts and 2 boy ghosts - take a guess which are which.

Then we get ready to trick or treat.

Candy!  Candy!  Here we come :) Please see "Tinkerbelle on the way to the Prom" and "Cute Monkey with his Treats."

They are just SO CUTE.
