Stevie Wonder

Thank you, Thank you to my dear and wonderful parents who decided to donate their piano to a very good cause. Carter has been dying to start taking piano lessons. Unfortunately we have never had a piano and since they are so expensive we have just never bought one. Carter has had two lessons now and is really loving it. He has always loved the piano. Even when he was just a tiny kid he would sit on my moms lap while she played the piano and put his hands on hers and pretend it was him playing. He has been waking up early everyday so he could practice before school. We are just hoping that the newness does not wear off and that he will continue to enjoy learning how to play! Unfortunately for me Grayden thinks he should also play everyday!!!!! It can be very loud at our house sometimes!

Bed Time / Home Repairs

We put the kids to bed in their bedrooms and without fail Chris and I will go up to bed and they have snuck into the hallway to sleep on the floor.  I can't for the life of me figure out why they would rather sleep on the floor in the hallway instead of a bed.  This particular night Jordyn took refuge from her bed in a tupperware container.  Let me just say this is not the first time she has fallen asleep in a bucket or a laundry basket.  At any rate Chris and I both got a good laugh from it.  She did not stay there all night.  I heard her get up in the middle of the night and go back to her bed.

The other day Chris decided he was going to change the faucet on our kitchen sink.  He had never tried doing this before, but was determined to do it himself.  Lucky for him he had lots of help from his little crew!!!!

So hard to keep up!!

I know it has been a while since I have posted anything new.  My grandma called me this week and asked if I had a blog so she could keep up on what was going on in our lives.  So if my grandma is going to be checking up regularly I better give her something new to read.  I can't exactly find my camera right now, so you will have to make do without any new pictures.  I kind of feel like we are in the doldrums of winter.  The kids have been outside the last few days since it has been a little warmer and it is making me feel even more antsy for the warm weather.  We haven't really done anything exciting as of late.  The kids are going off track again in a few weeks, so I guess I had better get started brainstorming for some fun inside activities.
