Have you ever had a kid try and put you in time out? Well yesterday Hayden was up earlier than usual and with Jon at a conference neither of us sleep very well... so of course I am dragging just a little at 6:30 in the morning. Well Hayden wanted his breakfast faster than I was willing to move. So he started counting: "1...2...3...4...Mommy timeout... Now!" At least he gave me until 4. I just looked at him with my mouth open. He really wanted me to go in timeout for not listening, since he gets put in timeout for not listening. I am not going to lie it was pretty funny. He has also learned how to open the freezer and refrigerator and if you aren't paying attention the ice cream, Popsicles and fruit are the first things to come out. He has also been reading books a lot more. We have been to the library every day this week just so we can get new books to read. This morning while Jon was getting ready and I was ironing he spent a good 15 minutes in his room just reading to himself. Right now I might have to buy one of the books from the library, I don't think he will be able to let it go when it is time to take it back!
On the home front we have only painted one more room since the last post and bought a vinyl sliding shade for our patio door (since the curtains we picked out seem to be more of a hassle that anything else). We have been looking at sectionals but haven't found anything we can't live without yet. Still working on finding our camera cord. I know it is here somewhere but there is a lot more house here than our apartment! Just think when we do get the pictures and videos up there will be plenty for everyone to look at. Well I hope everyone has a great weekend!
Guess when Hayden will arrive!!

A mommy time out -- what a great idea! :-) He's an amazing little guy!
Love you all!
Hi Guys!
Great to read your last few blogs, I especially love Hayden's new Lighting McQueen bed (how cool!) and Amanda being put on a time out -- super cute! Sounds like Hayden is getting to be quite the big boy. Good luck with the potty training, that can be tough.
I can totally relate to Jons venting post about the window treatments -- its ridiculous! However, your post was very funny. But it sounds like things are coming along on the homefront. Moving, unpacking, settling in, decorating, etc. is fun and exciting, but very time consuming! I'm sure everything is looking great and I can't wait to come visit and see your new home someday.
I've got 5 more days at the Milwaukee Public Schools...thank goodness! This will be my last week there and then I start at Froedtert Hospital next week Monday for 3 more months of volunteering! :) Sounds like fun, huh?!? Volunteering is important and it's great experience, but I'm ready to start making some money for all of my time and efforts. Right now, I can barely afford gas and groceries. Which is why it seemed like the PERFECT time to get a puppy! :) Mitch and I picked up a Bernese Mountain Dog 3 weeks ago, his name is Duke. He's super cute, he's been sooo much fun, but a lot of work!
So if you guys don't have ANYTHING to do next weekend on Sat 3/27 and feel like making the drive to WI, we're having a party for my birthday, meeting the new puppy, seeing the house we've been living in and haven't had too many people over to, and celebrating the fact that I survived MPS! Just letting you know, in case you wanted to come!
Take care you guys and I'll check back soon! Oh, and if either of you are in a NCAA bracket, I hope you didn't have Kansas going too far! I have Ohio St wining it all against Duke. Have a great Sunday!
Love,
Ashley
