Sweet Miles (1.30.21)

Miles got a kid video camera that also takes photos. He took some photos of me because he knows I love pictures. I think there were many many awful ones but he got a few good ones. 

I like the one with Liam's foot blocking half the screen too. 

Miles did a good job!

 Liam was up early and then so was Miles. I was tired. I tried to lie down on the floor. The both joined me. Liam is trying to make coffee. He actually hit the button to start grinding coffee.  The kids love the swing. After all the rain the swing set flew in the air too much so we decided to anchor it. Dave went to the grocery store and the kids helped me do it.  I did my workout after.  After my workout, I walk out to Liam under the sink spraying windex. Liam loves to vacuum. He tries to go for stuff way too huge to pick up though. Liam sees what he wants and climbs on the counter for it.  I was cleaning and got annoyed that I was the only one cleaning so I decided to go for a run. My shins hurt but I still decided to run a 5k since I hadn't in a month. My guess was 5k in 40 min then I kept thinking I wouldn't make it so I tried to hurry and hurry. (I got it at 38 min). The sky was pretty out the window.  Liam was super silly. My January calendar for what workouts I did.

The kids were all eating breakfast and watching TV. Liam wants to go swing. Miles and Liam used the swings. Ella was a bit delayed with school because we watched inauguration. Miles and Liam are at my legs. Liam even watched the coverage while he had a diaper change. Ella did school from the kitchen table. While walking upstairs I noticed what Liam built. Yay Shutterfly has unlimited free pages deal. Liam and Miles ate lunch at the little tables. Liam is a trouble maker with my desk drawers. Liam stole lipstick and hid. Nap time. Then more swing time. Liam was all over me during the PTA meeting. He's a trouble maker. At least I know he could clean up the books sometime. Just putting them in the trash isn't good. Then I had a preschool board meeting. I cleaned up. Then I did a late workout.

Miles woke up before Liam and kept bugging me. He wanted to play with Liam was asleep. He was not happy. Liam woke up and then Miles was happy.   Miles used his new present to build a bridge. Liam helped.  We got more cards and the card display has expanded.  I took a picture of the 1 hand sanitizer I haven't delivered to show the tag I designed at the last second.  The little pictures and our name are a bit small. I did research and tried to find good fonts. It took way longer than it should have because of finding fonts.   Miles was eating popcorn out of a bowl. I heard Ella try to get some and Miles yell at her that she needed a bowl. Then this happened!  Miles said Ella did it but Miles and I both used our vacuums and cleaned it all up. The kids used the swing. I wish we had our own full swing set.  Liam was playing then lied on the floor. Eh says he wasn't tired.  He went right to sleep. Dave and I worked on his puzzle.   Liam really made a mess with my dinner. He insisted on sitting on my lap. He at least ate some but he had trouble getting it onto the fork so it'd all fall off the plate and then he'd use his hands to pick it up and then repeat.  Liam swishes and spits when he brushes his teeth. He really likes to brush his teeth. He tires to brush more and more.

I made a spreadsheet of my step bet income for the last 14 months. I got a refund from 1 game when I had the flu.  I skipped a line when I became a paid member and could do 3 games at a time. The kitchen table was a mess. I cleaned it off.

Swings 2.9.20

I took the kids to the park. Liam loves the swing and Miles loves to push him when he's not in a swing himself.

Miles always likes to help cook.

Miles is getting old enough that he plays with Ella and they just do such silly things together.

We thought it felt like a heat wave so we played outside.

The kids wanted to use the swing set. Too bad it was a swampy mess to get up there. (Miles is blending in with the snow in the picture.)

See how warm. 49 degrees. It says it felt like 42 but who knows. We were so used to super cold sot his felt warm.

I carried Miles up and helped hold Ella's hand so she didn't slide all over in the mud and we made it up. Then we had fun playing.

Ella is good at pushing Miles.

Then it was Ella's turn.

Miles was trying to foam roll.

Miles flipped his chair.

Miles loves playdough.

 Dinner. We weren't fans.

Bedtime selfies.

I had a bad night with Miles because he fell asleep in the car and didn't have dinner. He was hungry.   Then we were up at 6:30 for the day.  He took his nap before Ella woke up.

He took a long nap.

We made birthday cupcakes.  Ella was feeling a little sick so she actually didn't help make the icing. You know she must be sick if she doesn't want to make icing or lick the bowl.

Ella was so happy to show Daddy that she knew how to make cupcakes.

 

This was the first time making mini cupcakes.

We went to parents' house for ribs. It was a nice birthday meal.  Ribs are the best. Miles loved them too. I could not believe how much he ate.
We also watched the Steelers.

Then we ate the birthday cupcakes.  Miles and Ella had a few.
We also ate chip n dip.  Timmy brought a new dip for us to try. It was good.

Then it was time to drive home. It was rough in sun. And I was tired.

Once we were home we played outside.
I got food for the kids and then we played some more.

Miles is a little bugger. He takes cups and bowls out of the drawer and makes a huge mess.

He put a small balloon in the drawer.

Miles likes to go into the pantry and get stuff. He is often getting Easy Mac and bringing it to me. Sometimes he even walks over and gets a spoon after.

Giving Miles Benadryl before bed did not go well. He opened the child proof bottle and got medicine all over his face, including in his eyes, and all over his clothes and the changing pad. I did take care of Miles without taking any pictures.

I got him to sleep.
I got Ella to sleep.
Then I watch The Fosters in bed. Then realized I forgot to work out.   Then an hour later realized I forgot to eat dinner.
