But, I want to...

Both kids were asleep tonight shortly after nine! That has NEVER happened before! You'd think I would be appreciating it by going to sleep myself, but: no.

Quinn has been really testing boundaries lately! It is really hard to hold back the laughter at some of the stuff he pulls! Here is an example:
We had a (fun) busy day today, and Quinn went without a nap (translation: he was really acting out). We had been playing kind of wild and he was having a hard time settling down- as happens when you are two. Miles was laying on the floor in the living room when Quinn came running in at full speed. Out of nowhere he says, "Quinn sit Miles," and he SAT ON THE BABY! Of course I grabbed Quinn as fast as I could and put him in time out. (Miles was fine and only cried because I scared him when I yelled at Quinn.) When I went back to talk to him before letting him leave time out I explained, "It is not okay to sit on Miles. He is a baby and babies are fragile. That means they can get hurt easier than big kids can. Do you understand?" Quinn thought about it for a long time. Then he looked at me with his big brown eyes and said in the softest, sweetest voice, "But Mommy... Quinn want sit Miles."

Miles is FOUR MONTHS OLD today!

***FREE***

I came across an AWESOME blog that lists LOADS of free stuff... and clearly lists any catches that might come with it. It is: http://www.thefreebieblogger.com/

Here is my favorite:
Free Fender “Soul of Tone” T-Shirt
Musican’s Friend is offering a free Fender “Soul of Tone” t-shirt when you call 866-926-1931 and mention the code TONE.

I called the number and talked to the ordering guy (for the automated system you will push '2' and then '2' again to get you to the person) and now a free shirt (something like a $20 value) is on its way! I didn't have to mention 'tone' or anything like that, I just said, "Hi, I was told I could order a free Fender shirt," and it was done! If you don't want one, order one for me (yes, it's true, mine goes to my husband)!

Miles rolled over...

...for the first time today! He rolled from his back to his belly. He has always been pretty stationary when he lays down -nothing more that a few kicks here and there- until a couple of days ago when he decided he should roll over. Since then he has twisted and turned until he completed the task. Hooray Miles!! He is 3 months and 25 days old.

Easter Bunny Blunder

We woke up around eight-thirty (as usual) on Sunday and had a nice quiet morning. We had been awake for a while before realizing... we hadn't been visited by the Easter Bunny! Eggs had been stuffed, but not hidden! Luckily Quinn is too little to have expected hidden treats!

We planned a picnic and decided to have an egg hunt at the park. We went to Ryan's Place Park, where we had never been before. That place is AWESOME! We all had a LOT of fun there (even Miles who was able to swing in an awesome tipped back swing)! In fact, we had so much fun that the eggs were once again forgotten!
When we arrived home I made Travis wait in the car with the boys while I quickly spread the eggs around the small area at our entrance. At last, Quinn had his egg hunt! And LOVED it!

Practicing

I have spent every free second working with the tips that Alexis shared with me. I can't believe how fun it is!
