No Dada

Another working weekend for Carl.  I would complain but Friday is a holiday and as of the 22nd we are off for Christmas break.  Yea!!

This is what the house looks like when Dada isn't around to clean it.  It was also movie night so... 'we'll start the movie as soon as the living room is clean' has all the power in the world.

And it can't be a coincidence that I have so many car problems when Carl isn't around.  
Dead Battery.
 Totally my fault again.  It started to rain, I put the keys in the ignition to put the windows up, I got distracted.  Same old story.  2 hours later it wouldn't start.  Shocking.  Kids do enjoy the drama though.

 Science 101:
Hypothesis:  Children enjoy animal food more than my cooking
Procedure:  Offer snack.  
When refused put leftovers in animals bowls.  
Watch children for reaction.
Keep camera handy for documentation
Conclusion:  Theo does in fact enjoy the animal's food more than his own.

 Tonight is movie night right?
That means naps.  I told Kaia if she wanted to watch a movie then her and Theo had to nap.  So she marched him in the bedroom, had him read her a story, and rubbed his belly until... 

... the unbelievable happened.  How amazing are these kids?  Now she didn't actually sleep but she did lay in bed for a good 30-45 minutes quietly reading stories next to him.  

A movie well deserved... Captain Hook.

  1. I guess it is much easier washing Theo than his clothes.
    .....good idea with your warm weather.
    Does having a nap with out a diaper mean he is now toilet trained?
    Wow!Hurrah!
    Hope you enjoyed the movie folks!

  2. So true about the clothes... most days Theo will end up naked by the end of the day but today... around 4pm I realized we had never even dressed to begin with in the morning!! Actually Kaia noticed.

    Not nap trained. I just pop a diaper under his bum after he falls asleep. Also still not trained if he has underwear on... he thinks it is a diaper and goes right in it. That is our Christmas break goal.

    Didn't watch the movie but Kaia seemed to enjoy it. She said the kids got the 4 moneys back from Captain Hook and they shared them. Seems good to me :)
