So... Seth sat at the dinner table for an hour and a half tonight. Mind you, we did not force him to, he could have left his plate and the table. The agreement was made: he needed to finish his soup before he got any ice cream! So he sat, and while he sat the rest of us did this:
FUNNY FACES!
Levi loves being Raya's horsie
Finally we gave Seth just five more minutes, and then we were going to clean up the rest of dinner. Homemade chicken noodle soup, and homemade bread -- poor kid. Such tantrums have never been seen.
"Sethy, you need to calm down, or I'm going to put you back in the tub!"
Yes, I composed such a sentence -- I had a moment, an insane moment, but a moment nonetheless, where I found myself in a parental situation and was like, "when did I get to this point in my life? Do I really have a four year old screaming for ice cream?".
We had to dress Sethy in the bathtub because he was heaving and had already thrown up once.
Maybe not so funny to some, but Jeff had a hard time staying composed -- ridiculous situations always make him giggle
Seth has a melt down like once every 6 months, I consider myself lucky. But man does he ever get mad!
..... (cont tune) .... you're so much better than a parking lot treeeee.....
We cut down our Christmas tree this year! -- It was fun :)
We were troopers, we hauled Raya in her carseat.
And the boys had a lot of fun doing this:Running through all the rows of trees
.
Hot cocoa and cookies; I just love Christmas time.
Luckily for Raya, this is only his remote control tarantula.
-- His real tarantula is in his office, on campus, away from our house. Her name is Hypatia.
So, Jeff turned 26!
I made the lovely cheesecake, it was the most fattening thing I've ever created ... besides maybe my children, but food, food definitely the most fattening. It didn't need a crust it was so firm from the various forms of lard. It was good :)
Jeff made the most of his birthday, he stayed up until 5:00 am, had a large breakfast in bed and got quite a loot: scarf (and hat), book, cd, tarantula, cage, cricket cage,crickets, and remote control tarantula. We had a game day and ate a lot.
Seth eating Jeff's cheesecake.Levi loved being at Grandma and Grandpa's house, can you tell?
Jeff and I took full advantage of all the responsible adults and acted like we were 17 again. I think the earliest we went to bed that week was 1:00 am. I'm still recovering.
