Silly Face!

Ever since our computer died this summer and we got a new one, downloading pictures takes more steps.  They're not necessarily hard, it just seems like I have to think about it now.  I had some really cute video last week of Evan and Mike playing, but somehow, I managed to erase it before I downloaded it.  Who knows how I managed that one. 

Evan got to hang out with my Aunt Pam and Uncle Greg this weekend (they were in town from Texas) while Mike and I went to our friends' wedding in the Fort.  He kept calling Uncle Greg "Uncle Great."  It was cute.

Evan's been into watching Mickey Mouse's "Once Upon a Christmas."  I never deleted it off of the DVR last winter because he liked it so much.  He will still belly laugh at Donald Duck sometimes.

We had to reinstitute a sticker chart (God bless the sticker chart) for bed time and wake up time.  Those of you that know Evan know he is the biggest sweetie - but in the morning, if he's woken up (which is most days since we work early), he's a meanie.  (People wonder why I've never taken pictures of Evan sleeping - it's because I try not to unleash the beast as much as possible.)  Evan now gets a sticker to brush teeth without arguing, read books (easy one), go to bed alone (no company from us), and no crying.  We've also transferred the brush teeth and no crying to the morning.  Today went very well.  Evan wants to earn a Dinosaur Train.  It's a show on PBS- frankly it's ingenious.  Dinosaurs and trains on the same show?  Love it!

That's about all - I posted the pic of the silly face because I managed to erase the others.

we just started a sticker chart here too...unfortunately it's already "missing" quite a few stickers..the last two days she hasn't earned any. I'm not quite sure she "gets" it yet...oh well!
