Christmas can wait.

These really helped me out in the past

Do we let them win?

So I am sitting in the playroom with Cole right at the moment ignoring his now 5 minute long tantrum because......I gave away his bike......wait no that's not it. He is crying (still) because I just beat him at the game Memory. You know the little cards with pictures. I let him win three times and then I won-thinking it was good to teach him about winning and losing. Don't get me wrong it wasn't some planned life lesson or anything like that,we were just playing and I decided to beat him.
So- random question, do you let your kids/or any kid you are playing a game with win each time or beat them occasionally? Just curious.
By the way he is still crying....over a memory game.

There is an App for that.

This may be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. I just downloaded a free Blogger App. It is pretty wonderful. Blogging from my iPhone right this moment.
I have had a few people ask me why I haven't been blogging and encouraged me to start up again. Surprisingly none of these people were my family and they were really the only people I thought actually looked on my blog- so apparently I am not as boring as I thought I was since I got a few requests to blog again.
It has been a whirlwind of a few months. We moved, my parents came home (which is wonderful!!!), we have been on a few trips. Lots of fun things going on.
Thanks to my friends in the last few months for the request to start up on the blog again. Let's hope it lasts.
I just added a few recent pictures- which were taken on my phone also- so they are pretty much the best pictures ever.



I tried to title this post There's an app for that and then it added a bunch of random letters and computer code junk on- phone blogging is still a work in progress.
