Loving Eachother

I love days when these guys all play nice. Or at least sort of nice. It looks like Steven may be biting Elise's back in this photo, but she didn't complain so I guess it wasn't too hard. And sometimes for Steven, not biting too hard is as nice as it gets :-).

Going Green

For St. Patrick's Day I always try to make a fun treat that the kdis can help with. This year we made a rainbow cake with a pot of chocolate "gold" at the end of it. Elise and Steven had a lot of fun putting all the M&M's on to make the rainbow, and ate plenty while they were at it.

Medicine

Tonight Steven kept getting out of bed and wandering instead of going to sleep. I kept walking him back to bed and putting him back in. About his fifth time out of bed he came to me looking slightly.... red and sticky around the mouth..... and said, "Mommy, I eat medicine." My heart skipped a beat. I asked him to take me to where he found the medicine. He took my hand and walked me over to a shelf and pointed to some M&M's and said, "Look Mommy, medicine." Phew, crisis averted for tonight. But this boy is definitely contributing more than his fair share of gray hairs to my head. He is now sugared up and not likely to go to bed anytime soon, but at least there was no trip to the ER involved. I hate scares like that!
