My dad, K, and the kids!

Things haven’t slowed down around here one bit, but I think I am adjusting. My patience is definitely getting better LOL. I really need to try and write daily, so much is going on with the kids they are learning and growing everyday and I want to keep it recorded. I hate it when Kaeleee does something knew and I try and think back to when Mason did it and I can’t remember. She’s talking so much it’s crazy! I have been working a lot with her on signing and she totally blew me away this past weekend. I won’t take FULL credit for it because I’m not so sure the daycare didn’t work with her a little bit while she was there. But last week I showed her “more” ONCE…and on the way home from a visit with my aunt and uncle she was eating some muffin and clearly signed “more” when I wasn’t giving it to her fast enough. I was so excited, my dad and K thought I was crazy, but I had only showed her ONE TIME…so I really think the daycare has worked with her, but since then she signs “eat” and “all done”. She’s a smart little stinker.
I have been working with Mason more on his ABC’s and counting and I get the impression he’s going to catch onto math quite easily, like his momma lol. He understands the concept of adding and subtracting. I loved his daycare/preschool, I wish I could have kept them in, but at least they have a good basic structure and I have the time to keep up with it and teach them more and more. I want to find some activities for them to do while we are at home, daily. I hate when they complain of being bored because I don’t want them watching tv and they get tired of playing with their toys. I want small activities they can do that will help them grow and learn…so any ideas are definitely appreciated.
K and I are…doing better…this past weekend and the trip we took to see my aunt and uncle…it was only like 3 hours away, but it was nice. K and my dad…well and my uncle ended up pretty drunk. I went to bed when an argument started getting kinda heated between my dad and K…there is kind of a history there…save for another entry….and I eventually went outside when I thought I heard them arguing, but they were both just drunk and have voices that carry lol. They ended up staying up til around 4 talking…good talk…deep talk. It was kind of a relief to me because K and my dad used to be very close, but they got it all kind of squared away and feelings out..and my dad actually told K that he looks up to HIM because of how he is with the kids and how hard he works and helps me out at the same time. My dad was a trucker and was gone a lot of the time so he was never really home to spend time with us, he told K that if he could go back he would do it all over again. Anyways, point is, it got me thinking of how much I might be taking K for granted sometimes when I get irritated with him and some of the things we fight about. Things have been better since then but I have really been concentrating on my reaction to some things.
Anyways I have to cut this short because kids are getting tired and I have brownies in the oven!
