My Rock Star Husband

Oh Rock Band, you have turned my husband into Jack Black in The School of Rock. Keep watching for the table top moves.

Rock Star Matt

It's too quiet in here...

For every parent with a toddler, there are times during the day when you suddenly realize that it's too quiet in the house, and fear courses through your veins because you know that can only mean one thing - your kid is doing something they don't want you to know about. The only question is, how bad is it??

Tonight I was talking to my mom on the phone, Miles was asleep, and Matt was watching that cool new nature show Life, when it hit me - where is Claire? Oh the joy of having a two and a half year old - we need to work on her "makeup" application skills. By the way, baby oil takes off permanent marker pretty well.

All Ears

Is it Easter yet? Thanks for the Easter package mom - we couldn't wait a week to open it.

Miles' Room

We finally got around to moving the computer desk out of Miles' room and into ours, so now his room looks like how I had designed it to be 8+ months ago. Our room is a mess and crowded beyond belief, but man, Miles' room is cute!

I made the curtains and all of the bedding for the crib, and we got the changing table at a garage sale and painted it brown. Matt's sister Jonelle painted two of the walls to match the crib sheet I made - the chair rail and the brown paint were already part of the office. She used a portable projector to project the image from the fabric onto the wall - you could adjust the size to make the circles a lot bigger, it was awesome!

Progress

Claire can ride a tricycle now! No more pushing with her feet - she uses the pedals and can go forwards and backwards. We will have to get it on video too. Mostly she is so excited to be part of the group of kids who play on our street. Previously rather annoying and loud, now the kids who are always playing in the street are tolerable because they play with Claire pretty well - she is the only girl and at least 3 years younger than any of the boys. We bribed them a bit with cookies and sidewalk chalk, but I think they like helping her ride her tricycle.

Childcare Scholarship

If anyone wants info on a scholarship contest for Lit'l Scholar Academy free tuition for 3 months), please let me know - I have a contact that will get you the application form, which is due on April 2.

Spring is Here

Getting into the Spring spirit at our ward Easter egg hunt. Granted, Las Vegas has about 2 weeks of Spring before Summer kicks in - I hope we haven't seen the last of the nice weather.
