When Parenting Fails

Maddy at 3. *Mom bangs head.
Maddy at 3 is... tough.
A few days ago she threw one of her figurines across the room in anger and broke it. *Mom bangs head.

I immediately jumped up and started packing all her toys in garbage bags. All.of.her.toys. An hour into this endeavour I realized the joke was on me. Maddy just started playing with the Ipad. *Mom bangs head.



On a side note... At 90 years young Grampi is now resting peacefully. We love you Grampi and hope there are plenty of "scratchies" aka scratch tickets in heaven.

Garden Inspiration

We got home from the zoo at around 3pm on Saturday. At 4pm Ray decided he was going to build a flower garden. 24 hours later it was built. Pretty cool, huh?

Maddy got tired of the mulching... She decided to take a stroll and see what that funny looking water sprayer was doing.

And then washed her flip flops.

Animals

We had a great day yesterday at the ZOO! Maddy loves all the animals, especially the baby ones.

Mimi was not one of the animals.

Farter's Day

Happy Farter.... um, erggh... Father's Day!
