Daniel was invited to preview the new exhibits at the Children's Museum here in Houston for a video shoot with NBC Local 2. It was a lot of fun and the show aired Friday, March 13 at 7 pm. He was seen 3 times and I was shown twice in the background. I can't put up the whole show yet, but here is behind the scenes video of Daniel at the Children's Museum. Daniel is wearing a red Cypress TKD shirt.

Life.......
2 am was early. 4 am was early. And I didn't really sleep between them. Wanna know why? I'll bet you can guess if you try really hard. Actually you don't have to try too hard.
Lucy woke me up at 2:15 a.m. this morning standing next to Danny's side of the bed! She was talking about something that I couldn't understand. I picked her up and took her back to bed. I changed her diaper and put socks on her very cold feet and bundled her up under her blankets. She didn't fuss or cry and I thought she'd go back to sleep.
My bad....
I didn't actually fall back to sleep right away cause I kept listening for her to climb out of her bed. When I did finally fall back to sleep, Danny wakes me up and asks me what time it is. I asked why he wanted to know and he told me that he had just heard our bedroom door shut.
I got up to find Lucy standing at our bedroom door. Arghhhhhhhhhh........ I wanted to cry.
This time I threatened to spank her if she got out of bed again (spanking her for climbing out of her bed has been working). She stayed in bed, but I had to wake her up to take EmmaLee to school this morning.

On another note.... Daniel was invited by the Children's Museum to participate in a video shoot for Local 2 (NBC). He and several other homeschooled children got to preview the new exhibits geared for children ages 9-12. He was in a lot of the shots and hopefully will not be edited out of them. We had lots of fun and if you live in Houston and have kids that age, you should go.
Daniel's show airs on Friday, March 13 at 7 pm on Channel 2.

Cereal
This morning, Lucy poured her own milk into her cereal bowl without us knowing and spilled it all over the counter! Then she got mad at me for putting it on the table without her help, so she tried to put it back on the counter and spilled it all over the table, chairs and floor.
She's 2 going on 12!

Life as I know it
Life as I know it has ended today. Lucy can climb IN and OUT of her crib! She will not take a nap because of this new discovery. We found her coming down the stairs with poop in her hand, yes I said poop. She pooped in her pull-up and climbed out of her bed to come tell us, when she did that I guess it fell out and she picked it up and brought it to us. Nice huh? Now she's just climbing out and playing with her toys.
I thought Daniel and EmmaLee were strong-willed children, but they have NOTHING on Lucy. I think we might have to chain her to the bed!

Random Stuff...
So, here I am with lots of things to tell you and not much time. First of all, my son the other day told me that I didn't laugh very much. Sad huh? I'm working on it. He of course is a comedian. The other morning at breakfast, EmmaLee yelled up the stairs to me that Daniel was plugging his ears and telling her that he was allergic to her voice! I laughed so hard!
Lucy the other day pushed a stool over to the ledge of the balcony and tried to get up on it. It was one of those heart wrenching moments that I had to capture on camera. Daniel was standing close by. I told her to get down and she said "NO", and I said, "if you don't get down right now, you're going to get a spanking!". She got down.
She got into my lipstick one afternoon and came in looking like this! In the next picture, she looks like the Joker from Batman!
One day when we were still at my moms, we had just been commenting on how well she had been doing at not getting into things. Well, not 30 minutes later, my mom stumbled upon this loving sight in the pantry. She thought it was a mouse! No, it was Lucy.
Daniel went ice skating last week. He did really well and by the end of the outing he could spin around a little.
Today, Lucy starts gymnastics. I'll post pictures of it tomorrow.

Mommy, Mommy, Mommy
When Lucy is upset and in her crib, she yells 'Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy' over and over and over, never giving me a chance to get to her. She's been sick this week with a cough that won't quit. EARLY Thursday morning, she was coughing and I went upstairs to check on her. She was cold so I covered her up and went back to bed. What seemed like a few minutes later (I don't know if I went back to sleep or not) she starts the screaming of my name over and over and over. I run upstairs thinking something is really wrong because it's screaming, not just calling my name. I fling open the door and she is standing in her crib. She says, "Mommy, I have a boogie." She had a booger on her finger and wanted it OFF. Needless to say, it took me a few minutes to go back to sleep after that.

Temper, Temper & a vacation
Well, I'm sorry it's been awhile. We've been really busy trying to get the house in order. It's been difficult because I really don't have a lot of time during the day between just picking up the daily mess, Lucy, and homeschooling Daniel.
Lucy has officially entered the 2 year old stage. She has a temper to go along with this stage. If she doesn't get what she wants, she SCREAMS! and can she scream! Wow, that girl has a set of lungs. We've been spanking her, putting her in a naughty chair but nothing really works. We're consistent too!!!!! She's just very stubborn. I must admit that the screaming has slowed down a bit, but now when she gets mad, she stomps upstairs and slams the door to her room! Is it not a bit early for this???
We just got home from a trip to Virginia to see my dad. We had a really good time. My dad has white hair and a white beard that he lets grow starting in July/August. He dresses up like Santa and volunteers at Andrew's Air Force Base, and goes to see newborn babies on Christmas Day at the local hospital. He also gets to ride around on a fire truck for a parade. With all that said, we've never had the kids picture taken with him. He was supposed to come down after Christmas, but we weren't back in our house yet, so they couldn't come. We went up this past week and I made sure that I got a picture.
When we got into the van from the airport, Lucy looked at Dad and said 'You look like Santa Claus'. It was so cute. She kept alternating between calling him Poppa and Santa all week. I have posted some pictures below. The picture of the kids with two older girls, are my cousins, Amy (on left) and Nicole (on right). The other group shot is of my dad (aka Poppa) and step-mom, Linda (aka Grandma).
Linda plays the piano and help teach EmmaLee a couple of songs. She says that EmmaLee is really pretty good and that we should get her lessons. So I guess EmmaLee will be starting piano lessons soon. Yea!
The kids didn't get to see snow, but it had snowed the week before so there was some icy snow still on the ground. The kids made an Ice Man with it. See picture below.
This is typical Lucy. We kept telling her that she could not have a 'chocolate sandwich' and she got tired of us telling her no, so she went and got one herself!
This is my Aunt Karrie, she's a scientist for the Navy and helps build bombs. Way cool job! Her lab is the one that built the Bunker Busters we used looking for Saddam.
