Trying to Sleep

When you have a kid, sometimes you're just trying to sleep in bed when that hallway light starts flashing. On. Off. On. Off. On. Off. You swear you had closed the bedroom door, but doors have a mysterious tendency to open and close themselves these days. So there's the hallway light... shining in your face... on... off... on....

LOL!

Way more fun than your dog chasing a flashlight.

Brooklyn's Playground

The other day I took Colsen to Brooklyn's Playground. This is quite the wonderland of fun and surprises. If you haven't been, I do recommend. And it's probably the busiest playground I've ever been to. It looked like the elementary school at recess. Colsen had a great time though. It's unfortunate that colder weather is on the horizon. But next spring and summer are looking action packed.

Monster Trucks!

Last month we took Colsen to see the monster trucks in Blackfoot. And unlike during the race track debacle, I came prepared with some ear muffs. Thanks to this wonderful invention, we were able to enjoy the entire show. I watched as other parents carried their crying children out, holding their ears as they screamed. Ha. That wasn't me this time.
