It's quiet now!

Robert has probably just cried himself to sleep. He had a full blown paddy at bedtime, because it was Richard's turn to choose the story, and he didn't choose "Mr. Tickle", which Robert wanted to read. Oh no! Richard chose "Mr Rush" and Mummy read that one! Well, Robert threw himself to the floor, kicking and screaming, and then proceeded to throw whatever he could reach. When a wooden train hit me, that was it - he was in bed like lightening!
Richard and I finished Mr. Rush, said Nun Night, and left him there screaming! I did go back in after putting Richard in his bed, but only to explain that naughty boys don't get another story (he was still screaming he wanted "Mr. Tickle". I finally got him calmed down enough to lay down. But he was still sniffling and crying as I left the room. But now all is quiet! the things they get their knickers in a twist about!! ;O)

Anyway, that was all about the last half hour of the day, the rest of the day went really well. Richard was at playschool again, he was knackered when I picked them up, but they never had to call me to get him, so that was a relief!

At lunchtime I scrapped my layout for the CT contest. Mum remembered the pics from last year of Robert and the lizard. We decided they would be perfect for Liz's kit "Handle with Care", and I think it did turn out rather nice.

And after Richard had finished his snooze, we made the most of the glorious sunshine and went in the garden. Where the boys got all their toys and balls out. I think they drove on anything and everything with wheels! REAL boys!
They played football in the front garden, whilst I had a chat with a girl from down the road. Her son joined in the game of football. So cute to watch, and I got a break.

Now I will go downstairs and post my Layout then I have to work on the photobook again.
Bye 4 now

Sometimes I hate having to let them cry themselves to sleep, but then again, they do get the message that way. Chalk it up to him being overly tired tonight and tomorrow will be better. We solved a lot of those "fits" when we started putting ours down earlier. Some thought we were crazy, but as early as they have to be up for school I wanted to make sure they got enough sleep. Works like a charm, and the best part is that we get some us time and I get some me time after that.
Love, Love, Love the LO, and I left some Love in the Gallery also. I really need to work on some LO's tonight, hopefully I will be able to share the one I want to do with Dancerella.
Do you know if Liz is supposed to post a new challenge at JFTSOI?? She hasn't been over there as far as I can see, though I know she has been really busy.
Well, take care of yourself, and here's hoping for a really good day tomorrow. Blessings to you.

Hey, thanks for coming back by. Sorry the photo book is not going well tonight. Hope you get it done in time. Thanks for the info. And I do love having these conversations, much like having someone here. And since I forgot to answer you last time yes that one is for the grandparents...can't decide whether to put it in b&w or not though.One question for you...Aren't you from England or was I reading that on someone else?? Also didn't say it before but I'm really glad that we have had the chance to "meet"...isn't it just crazy?? Well, take care and Blessings to you.
