Push to Hush

Our new smoke alarm has a reset button that says "Push to Hush" on it. If I push it, the alarm will stop for 8 minutes. Do you ever wish your child had one of those? Just when they are having a screaming tantrum?

I do love my children more than anything. I hope everyone who reads this knows that. Lately I have been struggling because Maddox has been staying up until 10:30 or later for the last 2-3 weeks. Mason then has to fall asleep in our bed, which means I cannot go to bed early. ugh. I am soooo tired and long to wake up feeling refreshed.

Some exciting news: Mason woke up with THREE loose teeth a few days ago! His first ones! He is very excited! Now there is a 4th one loose. He's a little nervous about losing them all at once, but they are all not as loose, so maybe he won't. I can't believe he is going to start losing his teeth. Where does the time go? That seems like such a grown up thing to do.

Maddox has a cold now, and they are so hard on him. But today, I found the perfect place to hang out with the boys: Best Buy!! The musical instrument section was a hit!! Mason loves music and drums and Maddox loves music and buttons...so...it was perfect! Not to mention all the electronics with buttons. We will definitely be going back there!

Our bathroom is in the process of being remodeled courtesy of M.L. Haugen Co. Inc. It's been fun seeing my dad and brother everyday. They started on the 17th. I've been taking pictures to document everyday, but just haven't gotten them on here. It's amazing what they have gotten done so far. And the bathroom is going to be BEAUTIFUL!!! I may never leave it.

This morning way before 7am Maddox asked if I would read a book and I said it was too early. His response: "Come on!" yep. Then in Best Buy he asked what something was and I told him it was a microphone. He replied "No it's not!!" Some days I swear he is much older than 2 :)

Overall we are doing well. I think I need to find some different types of toys for Maddox to play with though. All of ours are pretty much quiet toys with manipulatives. But Maddox really likes noise and things he can take apart. I think he is bored with the ones we have. Thank goodness rummage sale season is starting soon.

That's about it. I'll try to get some pictures on here today.
