The highlight of January was our first sleepover with our sweet Hudson!
It went really well for Hud's first night away from his Mom and Dad. He started to get sad but I let Mal sleep with the boys too, and then he was all better. He sure loves M&M and they sure love him! We can't wait to do it again!
Since I like to keep things real on my blog, this year has also had its downs already. The kids had a pretty hard time getting adjusted back to school after winter break and were misbehaving and getting themselves in a lot of trouble at school and at home. One Friday, after a horrible day for both at school, we had had enough. We grounded them from a friends birthday party and made them stay home to scoop puppy poop and clean the backyard. It was one of the harder decisions we have had to make as parents, but it was a strong statement made to our little ones that we will not let them act like disobedient brats ever, but especially at school. I am happy to report that the lesson sunk in pretty well and we've seen some progress made with their self control and obedience skills. We also started a sticker chart at home which has helped to encourage some postive behavior.
Parenting. It's definitely not for the faint of heart!
Up next, Mommy and Mallory's first out of town trip together and a fun weekend at the hunting lease!
