That will teach you!

I had to put a doorknob on Tyler's door that locks from the outside because there times (not many) that he will not stay in his room during a time out. Well, I had to use the lock twice in the last two days so Tyler decided that he was going to take matters into his own hands today! I asked Tyler and Jason to stay in their rooms to play for a few minutes while I got some chores done. When I came back upstairs, I found Tyler's door hanging off the top hing! He unscrewed the hinge and totally took the door off!! He got a stool from the kitchen to reach the very top one! When Jimmy asked him why he did it he said because he just did not want a door anymore. Then Jimmy asked if it was because I had locked him in the room today, Tyler said, "yes."

The BIG STINKER this time!!! I don't know what to do with this kid!!!

Swimming Lessons

I put Tyler in swimming lessons hoping to get him over his fear of getting his face wet. As you can see from the picture, we have not been very successful. This is how we have spent every day of swimming lessons! I have tried to brib him to just get in the water, but he does not want anything to do with it. He is normally not scared of the water at all, he is just being a stinker!




Tyler accidentally put his foot in the water!

Marshmallows

Tyler had the brilliant idea to roast mini marshmallows over a candle! It worked great!

4th of July

We had a fun weekend for the 4th. My parents and sister came to stay with us and we did the typical 4th of July activities. My mom, Tiffany and I took the boys to Lagoon on Friday. Tyler loves it there, but Jason still does not like most of the rides. On Saturday, we went to the parade in the morning, relaxed all afternoon and then had a BBQ and fireworks that evening. The boys LOVED the fireworks. We actually kept them up late enough so it was semi-dark outside when we started our fireworks. They were both way too tired by 9:30 to try and make it to watch the big fireworks. Courtney and Quinton were the only ones that made it to those. The rest of us watched from our roof.


This is how Jason fell asleep at Lagoon.

Both of the boys would plug their ears during the parade.
