The kid's went to Dustin's parents for the night. They went with his mom to church the next morning like they always do so this meant that Dustin and I got to sleep in for the first time in about 2 years! Dustin took the day off and it was so nice to be lazy and lay in bed until noon!!
Monday evening, Dustin's 8th grade team was given a plaque from the Mayor and the city of Beech Grove for their perfect 18-0 season. The kids and I went to the Mayor's meeting. Seeing the boys and their parents made me miss basketball season. It's hectic but I always miss it!
Ella had another molar come in this week. She takes getting teeth pretty well. She was kind of restless throughout the night because of it...but never actually had to get out of bed. She would wake up, whine, and go back to sleep a few times throughout the night. Sure enough after a couple nights of this and the bottom left one popped through. That makes ten teeth!
She also had become obsessed with the word "UhOh" I think she makes things fall or trips just to say it.
She is still obsessed with coloring this week. As soon as she wakes up in the morning, she grabs the crayon bucket and gets to work while I am getting ready. It's so cute!!
Owen started a new behavior chart this week. He had been really good lately for the most part. The two's were a breeze, three's were a nightmare, and the four's so far have been like the two's with a dash of three's! Good most of the time but there are days where he tests us! I know this is typical for his age and all ages for that matter but I saw this behavior reward system on Pinterest and so we are giving it a try.
He made six coins (card stock circles that he colored and decorated). A coin can be taken away for bad behavior and earned back for good behavior. At the end of the day...if he has all 6 coins left he gets a sticker for his chart. After he earns ten stickers, he chooses a reward. He chose a trip to Chuckie Cheese for his first goal. We have done it six days and there were only two days that he didn't get a sticker.
He also celebrated St. Patty's Day at preschool. The leprechaun played a lot of tricks on them (toilet water was green, green milk, etc) He loves it and said it is his favorite school holiday!
I will leave you with a few other pics from our week!
