I Did It!

I made it through 30 days of blogging! I will try to be better at blogging more, but props to the people who blog every single day. I couldn't do it. Then again, those people tend to have way more interesting lives than I do!

It was crazy busy for a Friday at the Y! My first few Fridays there were only a few kids. Today I had 10! There have been new kids coming out of the woodwork this week. I had to yell at them to be quiet a few times. They weren't being horrible for the most part, just LOUD. Thank the Lord Almighty for the old man who brings the kids suckers every day. He just started doing this a little over a week ago. He comes in and walks and then he stops by the daycare room and gives all of the kids Dum Dums. Now when the kids see him counting out in the hallway they all go to the window and jump up and down yelling, "SUCKERS!!!!"

Want to know the beauty of these suckers? I can bribe them. He gives them to me and today they were all bouncing off the walls and the room was a mess. I told them no suckers until the room was clean and I've never seen toys get put away so fast. Then we went over the rules. You have to sit at the table. If you get up I throw your sucker in the garbage. It makes for at least 10 minutes of all the kids sitting still. Even I get a sucker now. How cute is that? He always says, "I put a sucker in there for you too!"

Let the record show that the caramel flavored Dum Dum is disgusting. Let it also show that the bubblegum flavored Dum Dum is DELICIOUS. I totally wish I had one right now.

This afternoon I went to Springfield to pick up the Portrait CD of Daniel and also picked up Ashley's for her. I waited for Jacob to get home and then he watched Daniel. Originally I wanted us to all go and then go out to eat, but Jacob wasn't really wanting to go to Springfield, so I enjoyed some me time in the car and then stopped and picked up a highly nutritious meal of pizza and ice cream. I mean, really...we would have eaten even more calories going to a sit down place. LOL! Like how I try to justify this?

Anyway, that's all. I shall leave you with a few pictures of the cutest baby boy ever.
