    • Stephanie Wilson Short siblings--natural, fostered, adopted have a uncanny way of being like their family members they are close to. You and Daryl will grow to look like each other, then you all will look like your dogs.... Watching the moon--the cold is trigger my cough this am too. There are still persistent desert plants shedding their love around too.

    • Wallin Sara I agree Stephanie. It's because we're together so much we start to rub off on each other. I'm pretty sure the dog has learned to say ” NO!” from the kids.
      Stupid desert plants neec to stop sharing.

My kids crack me up! This morning MrBrawn announced that Uncle Lee would be arriving today in a rocket ship. Later, MrMonkey was sitting on the couch quoted, to no one particular, Train Your Dragon... ”Dragons always, always go for the kill.” Tonight, We took an adventure to get Uncle Lee from the airport. In Cal-Nev-Ari, I heard my daughter say ”Look! It's a village!” This after she quoted a Barbie movie to me, ”Are we there yet, we've been walking forever...” — withDaryl Staley and 4 others.

Funniest moment so far today, MrMonkey crawling along the floor, eating one cheerio at a time, in response to my request to "pick up your spilled cereal"

Big brother manipulation at it's best!
MrBrawn decided to play with MrMonkey's toy truck (they have the same one) and broke the wheel completely off. Brawn brought it to me to fix and I told him he was out of luck (not knowing it was not his truck). He said, "No, Monkey is out of luck." I told him that his brother was going to be upset when he realized that big brother broke his truck. He took the broken wheel to Monkey and said, "Look how cool this is! Now that it's not stuck on the truck you can roll it all the way across the floor! Isn't that cool!?" To which Monkey replied, starstruck, "yeah...cool..."
Brawn walks proudly over to me, "See, Mom, he's not upset, he thinks it's cool." — with Daryl Staley.

We've been reminding the kids all weekend that this is a hotel, where people pay to sleep, so we need to be quiet when we walk in the hallway. This morning we stepped off the elevator and MrMonkey turns to me and whispers ”Mommy, we gotta be kiet, peoples are seeping” — with Daryl Staley.

It's Time to Sink or Swim

At a recent Child Family Team meeting we discussed the possibility of the boys having unsupervised visits with their parents. After a couple days of thinking about it, I contacted CPS and told them that I am simply not comfortable with the idea of going from 4 hours/week supervised visitation to unsupervised visits. I told them that I have suspicions that the parents are still using substances (Dad is being tested weekly by 2 agencies) and I think that it is time for them to rise to the parenting challenge or give up. CPS asked me today what days would work for additional visits and I reiterated that I think the boys would benefit from Monday, Wednesday, Friday visits in the evenings, that way they can have dinner, bath time, pajamas, and then get in the car and come back. We'll see when this starts and what will happen then...
