I was able to get a good temper tantrum on video. Silas was mad because Jim took away a balloon that he was trying to eat. Buzzkill parents.

In an effort to promote dental health, we have devised these bathtub games. Not really, but this was really cute.

Mid-month, we had a Day in the Life feature on the mom webgroup in which I am a member. This is where you chronicle your family's day with a pictorial. I won't post everything, because it was a considerable amount of pictures, but here are four from that day...
This is after Vivien got dressed and we fixed her hair.

Then there was a race between the rocking horse and Tina.
Vivien made me participate while she took the photo.
Daddy reading her bedtime story.
Many may not know, but Vivien has a favorite nightgown. She wears it almost every night. One of the straps was hanging on by literally a thread for weeks. Finally it broke. I had no choice but to sew it. I didn't have a machine at the time (since this, my friend Susan gave me one) so I had to hand sew it. We needed evidence of this since I am not one to wield a needle and thread. For the record, I sewed it back on twisted.
Vivien is pretty good about not acting jealous of Silas. But the one thing she cannot deal with is us taking his photograph or a video without her in it. It has become a joke of how long it takes her to get in front of the camera.

He's quite a monkey.

Jim was out playing with the kids before bed the other night. He came running in to tell me to bring the camera. Vivien was hitting the ball every time. Of course, when I brought the camera, it took a bit for her to get her momentum back, but she rocks! She also has a great throwing arm. I think t-ball is in our near future. She really has some athletic skill.

After playing outside, it was time to wind down with Dad before bed.
One day, Vivien and I decided to make crayon tarts from her broken crayons. First we peeled the paper.
After baking and freezing, it was time to see our end result!
The colors were beautiful!
One place you can often find Silas is in the dishwasher. Naturally, as I attempted to take a pic, Vivien came running.
We went to the park the other day. It was the first time in about 3 months that we could handle the park in the afternoon. I miss the days of spending 3 hours at the park with friends. Hopefully, we can do that again soon once the weather is cooler.
On Sunday, Vivien went with Mommy Jan, Aunt Liza, Uncle Joel, and Wyatt to lunch and the mall. They went to Build-A-Bear and Vivien made a pretty unicorn. She named the unicorn after her late cousin, Bella. In the meantime, Silas enjoyed playing on the couch without getting tackled or having his legs pulled out from under him.

I enjoyed an afternoon nap, and when I awoke, this is what I found. Jim was wearing Silas and doing the dishes. Doesn't get much better than that.
