Back To School

Back to school means longer days and a very sad baby! He HATED seeing his brother's get out of the car in the mornings and it thrilled in the afternoons when they finally climb into the car.

It means reworking the little mans nap schedule which makes for a very tired baby in the early evening as we ran errands and went to football practice and what not.

Or a little dude who can't sleep at night and ends up screaming to end up needing nothing more than an entire bag of fishey crackers at 4 am. lol

Even though this has NOTHING to do with back to school...I had to add it, My boys love each other (some days..lol) and this was our 1st back to school weekend watching a family movie...AWWWW

And this is just one of those "letting the baby play with the camera" type of pictures that turned out so well we had to share it with Daddy inAfghanistan. Aw.

Back to school meant football! FOOTBALL!!!!!!! Football, as I've said before means what?? THE END OF THE DEPLOYMENT! It was coming!
Look at these adorable little football players and their buddy Kam.


We even got Aidan to learn how to say "I love football!" and "Touchdown" So adorable. Speaking of adorable...

Next up.................Matt's homecoming!!!!!

Distraction Via the Camera

It amazes me what a camera can do to distract a child from a tantrum. Aidan has the bad habit of screaming bloody murder if he isn't allowed to open the oven and bake himself into a pie, which I am sure you can all see the issue with this. The kiddie lock on the oven does an adequate job, I however didn't want to have him hanging on the door and just HOPING that the latch would hold. Can you see how pulling out the camera fixed this specific tantrum?
Screaming

Hears the melodic sounds of the camera turning on

Crisis averted.
