Energy


Our house is filled with so much energy. I'm sure everyone with children, especially boys would agree with me. Some days I will try anything to have them sit still for just a few minutes. I have been trying to do things with Zackary to keep him entertained with out needing to jump on and off every piece of furniture, climb anything climbable, run like crazy, or torment his brother. He really is a great kid he just has lots of energy. I've asked my mom if the energy level is normal (I know it is for an almost 3 year old boy, but just need confirmation every now and then), her reply "PAYBACKS!" Apparently I was exactly the same way. So today we decided to do some art projects. We made a large snowflake that is hanging in our entryway and looks awesome. We spent almost 2 hours creating this masterpiece gingerbread house. I was so impressed, he sat and decorated it the entire time. I sat with him and ran the frosting construction while he decorated and told me where to put the frosting for him to place the candies. I love the rows of gumdrops.


We had so much fun together. I thought doing a few projects and some very close one on one time together might distract him from the craziness.

NOPE, I was wrong.

This is how our night ended. Notice the couch flipped over. Yes, I flipped the couch over because I was over asking him to stop jumping on the furniture. It did solve the problem. I'm sure everyone that has little kids can understand the house looking like this? Right?

I love him, he brings endless energy and laughter.
