Last year at this time I was scared to take the boys to the park. If they decided they didn't want to come home, I was stuck. I certainly couldn't chase them through the tunnels (even if I didn't have Lola with me - which I usually did). Fortunately Brian and I got the whole "discipline" thing down. The boys would go for weeks without goint to the park because they didn't listen to me. Now - I say "It's time to go" and all they say is "One more thing?" I say yes and then we leave. I also don't have little girls coming up to me saying "Matt pushed Me!" The boys are so well behaved!
We finally went on our first vacation. We have family that goes up to a lake in Minnisota every year and we decided to join them this year. What a nice week. By the end the boys understood how to handle a fishing pole. Matt spent hours hanging off the end of the pier scooping up fish with the fishing net! I got to kick back and read a book.
Right now Brian's laying the foundation for our backyard pool. We learned a few things last year and will hopefully get a "level" pool this year. This summer we're keeping the boys busy during the mornings but we'll have afternoons open for fun stuff. Monday and Wednesday evenings Matt's doing baseball and on Wednesday nights (after Matt) Tim has soccer. The boys are learning to ride a bike and we got them a scooter.
