Here Comes Trouble

I think my tough little cookie might be getting too tough. I got word from daycare this week that Brooklyn is having to be separated from the other kids at times.

The Cure-All

I love the seeing the world through the eyes of a four-year-old. In Wyatt’s world, a new car costs EIGHTY-NINE DOLLARS!  So does a new lego set. Wyatt has become a little money-obsessed and wants to know what everything costs.  I try to tell him the truth, or at least estimate to my best ability (which, let’s [...]

An Early Mother’s Day Surprise

I know four year olds are not the best secret keepers.  I am really having to be more self aware of what comes out of my mouth, or the things that I do, because Wyatt doesn’t really understand what is OK to tell people, and what information should be kept to ourselves.  So far, nothing [...]

What Happened Here?

I wonder where things went wrong.  It used to be, when it was bedtime, we would tuck Wyatt in for the night and not hear a peep out of him for 13 hours. This is the stage we are at with Brooklyn right now.  Around seven-o-clock she sees her night-night bottle being made and heads down the [...]

Professional Picture Sessions Take One

A day in the life of the Hustads – trying to get the kid’s pictures taken

The Conversationalist

I am starting to wonder if there will ever be peace and quiet in my house ever again? Between Wyatt’s constant talking and Brooklyn’s continuous screaming, it sometimes feels like my head is about to explode. Sometimes, just sometimes, I look forward to Monday mornings.

Pink or Blue?

We have never found out the sex of our babies. Chris has always been very persistent on this.  “There are too few surprises in life. This is one of the big ones!” I have just come to accept the fact that we will wait to find out until the doctor holds up the baby and makes that BIG announcement. [...]

Walk with me

Baby girl is finally walking! Just over Easter weekend, Brooklyn has decided that walking is A-OK.  We wondered if it would ever happen, since she is over 14 months old now and it seemed as thought she had given up on walking for good.  She is a lightening fast crawler, and so I suppose she figured why walk [...]

Round One – Brooklyn, UFC champ

I always knew Brooklyn was going to be able to hold her own against her big brother.  I just didn’t realize it was going to be a 14 months old.  I have been telling Wyatt for a really long time that pretty soon, Brooklyn is going to be bigger than you if you don’t eat your supper!  Look at [...]

Hodge Podge Post

The leprechauns came to our house on St. Patrick’s day this year. Thank goodness they only left a pot of gold instead of trashing our house (which appears to be the tradition around here?). When we got to school that morning, leprechaun had hung clothes and shoes from the ceiling, dumped all the toys out of their [...]
