Explosive Energy

Okay what happened? Peanut turned into a ball of distructive energy this afternoon. He ransacked the house, turned everything upside down, screamed and screamed and yelled no, no, no, no... Is this testosterone at work? Ken and I took turns to get beat up by this little nut bag.

I don't know how some women do with four boys? What's the trick? Tell me!!

Surprise Dinner

When I got home this evening, the entire house was filled with the intense smell of corned beef. MMM... I was so surprised there is hot food. Ken cooked a big pot of corned beef and cabbage dinner for us. The meat was cooked to perfection and the cabbage was just right. I squirted some catsup and mustard on my plate and I went to town. It was such a pleasant surprise. Normally I stress over what to cook when I get home. It was so nice to eat with my teeth and not just swallowing everything down. I was so excited to eat and forgot to take a photo.

Shark Butt

I couldn't resist getting this Shark outfit. I liked it before Peanut was born. He liked this one. It was easy to wear and the tail wiggled around as he walked.

Peacock

This costume was extremely hard to find since Babystyle is out of business. I searched and searched. Finally craigslist came through. This was the only one listed in the right size. I was able to get it a week before the event. It was such a challenge but made it fun for me this year. I don't know how this photo was taken. Peanut cried the entire time.

Ken + Doll

Nice day out. We took Peanut to swing. He was super happy to get fresh air and sand in his shoes. I, on the other hand, was busy taking photos and chasing after him with a wet wipe.

Steam, Help?

I've been so frustrated lately with everything. I don't even know what's right or wrong. I am running on too short of a fuse than what I like. Peanut still cries and screams when he gets a bath. When will he realize that's a treat and enjoy it? Peanut refuses to eat at the table. He cries and screams when food is removed from his hands when he wonders off. When will he understand to eat at a table? Heck, I haven't tasted my meal for a long time. Our dinner table is a space to pile junk. When will we be able to eat on the table all together? We've been eating carb meals everyday. When will we be able to change back to our normal healthy meals? I am so exhausted... Peanut is crying super hard now. I took his bread away b/c he was dragging it everywhere in the house.

What am I doing wrong?

I am fighting back the sore tears. It's a battle I will most likely loose tonight.
