Pestering puzzler.

By Mic

I was just about to call an end to my day and go to bed when Rob sent me an email and told me to take a look. I opened it a discovered a puzzle. Well. A brain teaser I guess you could call it. I like puzzles. Unfortunately I am not good at walking away from them. So there I sat needing to go to the washroom and wanting to go to bed but unwilling to leave until I found the answer.

Below is the email he sent can you answer the question?

This problem can be solved by pre-school children in 5-10 minutes, by programer – in 1 hour, by people with higher education … well, check it yourself! :)

Hoping for an end soon.

By Mic

Having 3 kids is like having your own personal lab for the growth of air born viruses. Back in September when school started Cam came down with a cold (the second week of school). Since then it seems like someone has had it. They may have troubles sharing toys sometimes but they’ve had no troubles sharing colds. Thankfully it hasn’t been anything to bad, just your common cold, complete with coughing and runny nose. It has now come back again to Cameron although I wonder if it ever fully left?

With the start of the warmer weather I am hopeful that we will finally be able to put these colds behind us.

How?

By Mic

How is it that the same two kids that were so well behaved yesterday could be such monsters today. Cameron wasn’t to bad but Nate was a monster. It’s like a Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde.

A bright shiney day.

By Mic

Today was an amazing day. It wasn’t really special. I didn’t even leave the house. It was such a gorgeous day out that I decided to open up the doors to get some fresh air in the house. The boys were so excited that it was nice outside. They decided that they wanted to have a picnic lunch on the porch. They found a caterpillar that they named Cameron. He thought that Cameron was a good name for a fuzzy caterpillar. Then the boys decided that sitting in the sun drawing pictures and playing with trucks would be a good idea. The spent near 3 hours just running in and out of the house from the front porch to the back. They were so excited for the warm weather. But more then that though they seemed excited about their new found freedom. I left the doors open and the gate on the front porch and allowed them to come in and out as they wanted while I was doing things around the house and taking care of Aly. I was always near by but not always seen. This little peice of independence was a big deal to them. I was a GREAT day with no fights and no time outs. It was one of those days that your glad to be a parent.

To sooth her or not to soother.

By Mic

Rob and I decided (mostly I) to give Aly a soother when she was a few months old because she would act like she wanted food and then would just suck and not eat. This was not my idea of fun. But with out something to suck on she would either use her fingers or she would scream. I am not afan of soothers, Cam never had one and Nate only got one when he was in the hospital and wasn’t allowed to eat, it was a comfort to him.

Well tonight Rob decided he wants Aly to stop using a soother (lucky mommy). So I put Aly down for bed. She has been crying for a while now and I am trying to figure out at what point to cave and go in and give her the soother back. Part of me wants to give in so the crying will stop and I can go to sleep. The other part of me wants to wait it out and let her scream it out. I hope she goes to sleep.

Oh wait she’s quiet….maybe…just maybe…. I think sjight be asleep.

Standing tall.

By Mic

Tonight for the first time Aly crawled to the couch and used it to pull her self to standing. I know this isn’t a big deal all babies do it eventually, but to mommy its a big deal. It’s one step closer to walking and one step closer to not being a baby any more. 🙁 At this rate my baby girl won’t be a baby much longer.

Nothing much to say.

By Mic

I am not really going to blog tonight. I have sat here for over an hour thinking about it and I am just not feeling it today. Nate his sick (I think it’s his belly problems) and I am just tired, both emotionally and physically. So good night and I promise I will try twice as hard tomorrow to find something brilliant to say here tomorrow.
