How to be a perfect parent:

By -
Benjamin called me the other day, again to check on the progress of the playhouse. We talked for quite a while. He told me that he tells his mom that she is a perfect mom and he loves her so much, but that isn't totally true. He said that he recently went on a camping trip with one of his friends and that HIS mom ALLOWED THEM TO STAY UP UNTIL THEIR BEDTIME...so he has a perfect mom and dad. Geez, it seemed really familiar to me! Seem's like I have heard that somewhere before!
It is tough not to be in charge when your parents don't seem to know what is best for you!
The sacrifices continue. Today is a holiday, and we were invited to a BBQ over at my folks, which we are skipping so that we can work on the playhouse! Only 4 more days to work on it till y'all come!

Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
