Well, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been a bit busy here lately. The house is nearing completion, the kids started school, and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been packing and getting things for the new house. It has been full blast for us\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6so read on for the somewhat funny details.
\n
\nWe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll start with the kids and school. Keagan is in the 3rd grade this year and we have determined that she just does not want to give any real effort on her homework. So, we have began a remedy for that\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6it is called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do anything until your homework is completed \u00e2\u20ac\u201c correctly \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and you do 10 math problems a night regardless of homework\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Nice title don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t ya think?<\/p>\n
She has been doing much better now that she realizes that it is up to her to learn it. Her talking back, which she does so subtlety, has began to stop as well. She has had some encouragement, though she has not really met with the newest tool in the house\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 oh yes the tool\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.well I will go into that in a moment.<\/p>\n
Kaden \u00e2\u20ac\u201c oh boy\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6he is 3 years old and yes, he is adorable\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6but he also got kicked out of day care last week. Yup, KICKED OUT OF DAY CARE. How the hell do you get out of day care do you ask\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6well you continue to bite other kids, drawing blood, until they decide they do not want to put up with it anymore. <\/p>\n
Yes, he has been biting, but learned not to do it at the house anymore because of the repercussions. I guess he thought he would take out his frustration and hunger strike on the kids at school. Soooo\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6he is the reason the new family tool was brought home.<\/p>\n
The tool\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6is a thin 5 gallon paint stir stick. It was like a miracle tool. A couple whacks with it, and wow! After he got over the initial shock, I talked with him and we went back to the living room for some fun time. He was playing in the floor, and talking out loud to himself, saying \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I just don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know… my teeth don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t work anymore\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6I just can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t bite\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. I had to hold back the want to laugh, and then began thinking\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u009ddid I spak him that hard?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d None the less, he is fine, and does not want to meet the stick again.<\/p>\n
So, it started off as a thin pain stir stick, but a trip to Hobby Lobby with my wife was near spiritual. I was looking at picture frames, when I heard her call me from behind. I turn around to she her holding a beautiful 22 inch long, 4 inch wide, half inch thick, sanded solid oak paddle. The kind like they used on us backing school. You remember\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.\u00e2\u20ac\u009dput you hands on the desk James\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6you getting 3 lick for shoot Mrs.??? In the rear with a rubber band.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Oh yes, it was nice, I bought it, and showed our lovely children the new tool. All Kaden could say was a sorrowful \u00e2\u20ac\u0153nooooo\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. <\/p>\n
Hopefully it will never have to be used, can hang on the wall, and be a part of the family that has to never be called on. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll see!<\/p>\n
So, apart from the chillin beatin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 , we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been packing and preparing for the big move in. Yes it is getting close. In approximately two weeks we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be ready to move in. We have decided to do some painting and stuff before any furniture gets moved in though. So it has been buy this light fixture, get this color paint, and that color paint, get tape, boxes, drop cloth, French Doors for the play room, etc. etc. We look like we are traveling nomad pack rats! We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re almost ready though. Trying to recruit some friends for the moving party\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6LOL Call or email if you would like to attend.<\/p>\n
On top of that, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve tried to find time to enjoy a few movies on our new TV\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s. We got a nice Samsung 46\u00e2\u20ac\u009d LCD to hang on the wall of the new crib, and a little 20\u00e2\u20ac\u009d for the bedroom or kitchen\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6have not decided.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll try to post more often when we slow down a bit\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.which seems like it will be months after we move in and get comfortable. LOL<\/p>\n
