My little mini-me!

Okay isnt it scary when your kids reveal to you how you talk & what you say... & what you really look like to them...?

Well... this afternoon naughty Corbyn ripped one of Elayna's book pages. As I was emailing a paper to one of my teachers I thought I would let the whole ordeal difuse itself....so I thought...

After Corbyn ripped the book...
Elayna (the mom) calmly walked Corbyn (the naughty one) to Time Out while telling him

"Corbyn, that was a no no! We dont rip books! You are going to go to Time Out for 5 minutes because you ripped my favorite book."

Haha! what was really cute was Corbyn! He did exactly what she guided him to do. He sat down on the time-out mat (where he commonly sees Elayna sitting) ,and since he has never been to time-out, himeself, he shortly got up from the mat & so the punishment continued...

Elayna replied "Corbyn, you cannot get up yet. The timer did not go off. You have to sit back down on the mat & think about what you did....Do we rip books??? No. Sit down & dont get up anymore."

He got up several times before I intervened because she was getting angry & upset that he wouldnt stay on the mat! After Corbyn got out of time-out for the last time, I calmed her & she gave him a hug & explained once more, "We shouldn't rip pages from books & It makes me sad that you did that..."

I am not sure what I am raising! haha! what an eye-opener to hear your kids talk to each other & mimick your actions! I sound so mean when it comes from a 4yr old!

By the way......No kids were physically injured during the making of this blog! Corbyn was a good sport...only time will tell if he has learned his lesson!

Easter Pics

Happy Easter! We missed not being able to travel to see grandmas & grandpas & family this Easter, but we enjoyed having Easter here at home. Beautiful weather, great friends, good time...cannot ask for more!

We took this picture after the Saturday Easter egg hunt & I wish we had Chad in the picture! It would have been perfect! I love Corbyn's cheesy smile!!

Daddy & Corbyn trying to contain their excitement for the egg hunt! Eeee!

Elayna & Georgia teamed up for the egg hunt & I have to say made out like bandits in the candy dept.

Elayna, the egg-finding-pro, was inconveniently slowed down by mom with the occasional photo op.Corby getting the hang of things! There were SO many eggs! The Easter bunny was really amazing this year!

Mom on the other hand is trying to catch up with clothing coordinating and picture taking...& I am failing horribly! I just noticed in our photos we did not take a photo on Easter Sunday of the kids in their outfits! You plan what they were going to wear & you get so busy and before you know it your late for church! ugh! At least we made it to church & we can always take another pic, right!

Just to clarify...

After a few congratulations and re-reading my previous post I realized I did not state that the house we are building is (tear, tear) not for us. It is for sale!

Due to the fact we have started our business before owning a home I am afraid building is not in our near future. We do, however, live vicariously through others & enjoy it for the time being.

Pictures of the inside coming so soon...I think you will all LUV IT!
