I have started taking the iPad away from her as punishment. Right now that is the worst punishment she can fathom, yet she still has 2 days to go currently. I am sure that this is normal for a nearly 5 year-old little girl, but it bothers me immensely. I am also sure that the reason she continues to do it is because it bothers me immensely, which bothers me even more . . .
On a lighter note, Mackenzie has decided that she wants a Christmas themed birthday party for her fifth birthday. I am loving this, since it makes party planning easy. I don't even have to buy any decorations. We are going to have another small family party, like we did for Isaac in April, since we still do not have our own house. We are working on it though. We are under contract for what we think is a fabulous 1958 home in a great neighborhood that needs a little TLC. As of now we are scheduled to close on August 31, but we are trying to move that up at least a week in hopes of moving in before Labor Day weekend. Here is a picture of the house (hopefully I am not jinxing us by putting it up prior to us actually owning it).
Yay! Not about the bad words, but about the house. It looks gorgeous. We wrangled over our house for months and it was gut wrenching, but when it is meant to be, it's meant to be. Whether it is this one or another one, you guys will find the perfect home.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the house! I see lots of parties in that front yard. Brian said if all goes well I can come visit Labor Day weekend - after the game. :-)
