PARENTING TROUBLES....:0(

I have noticed that since the kids started back to school in the fall Blake's behaviour is and has been changing for the worst well I guess I am seeing improvements with him at home but away from home he is a handful to deal with. He is ignorant , sassy, won't sit still you name it he does it (expect listen) I have no idea what to do with him or how to fix this problem. I hate spending my time with him fighting but I can't let this behaviour continue. Is there an end in sight????? I know they say parenting is never easy and Blake is definitely putting me to the test and has been since I got pregnant. He has been hard to deal with from day one....But boy do I ever love him!

THE COOKIE MONSTER IS BACK!

Since we were running low on lunch snacks for the kids for school, I took some time
with Blake and we baked some yummy chocolate chip cookies! With Blake helping me there isn't a whole lot I have to do just put the cookie sheet in the oven. It looks like I will be baking more tonight when the kids are in bed...Yes the cookies are gone! I told you cookie monster was back :0)

4 OUT OF 5 AIN'T BAD....

Since school got back underway, I have been taking advantage of just having the one at home. Most day we walk to meet my hubby at work on his lunch hour, since it take us just over an hour to get there we always get a drive home and Blake gets to enjoy lunch with daddy. So far this week we've walked down to meet him 3 times , the view is so beautiful along the water, the ferry is usually leaving. I'm undecided about today, I will have to make up my mind as we will have to leave in the next 45 minutes. I was thinking of changing our root for todays walk if we go. I thought I would get my husband to meet us at the playpark beside the ferry terminal so that Blake can enjoy the park before it gets to cold. He has been so good on all our walks that this will be a great way to reward him. Not once did he bug me to stop at the park on all our walks. I really love having this time with Blake, he is great company!

MALE BONDING

My husband and our 11 year old son have been butting heads for quite some time. Jay is getting to very difficult and confusing years and it's hard to see that him and his father don't have a very healthy relationship lately. This has been really hard for me to see over the years but nothing I did or suggested would help these two.
We have just recently moved and even though it's a lot further from family I feel this was the best move that we have made not only for our family as a whole but for Jay. The kids have adjusted so well and have made lots of new friends and with that said Jay and my husband Matt have become friends themselves. It is so nice to see and Jay is becoming a very responsible young man. I am so proud of him!
My husband just recently did a post on his own blog talking about his experience with Jay and how things have changed, I invite you to stop by his site at 1 Males Perspective and check out his very touching post.
