Spring

Well it is finally spring, and its supposed to snow later on in the week. Hurray! (NOT!)  I have a green thumb, well maybe its more of a yellowish green (I try) and love to garden.  So yesterday I went out and bought my first flowers of the season, pansies.  I read up on them first to see if it was too early to plant and what to look for, so now I have 3 pots of just green leafy stems.  They say its best to get the ones that aren't all stringy and flowering yet...not much fun if you ask me but what do I know?!

This past weekend we went to a Monster Truck show, and just took Tristen and Phoenix got to spend a day with grandma.  I think Tristen had a good time, about an hour into the show though he was being a little brat.(and I say that with love)  He is getting to be a little monster, I hate taking him out anywhere afraid of him having a melt down and yelling and hitting me.  How do you discipline a child out in public when you can't remove them from the situation.  Yesterday it felt like all I did was yell at him..I mean be "stern" with him.  Time outs don't work, taking a toy away just makes it a thousand times worse and being stern with him gets me a look and a whatever.  And he is only THREE...and a half. ;)  Sometimes I'm glad that Phoenix is my non talker...I just don't think I could take two boys being fresh with me.

So to sum up my ramblings it needs to get warm and stay warm so Tristen can get out some of this negative energy and be my mild natured little boy again. (But then again maybe i'm just pms'ing)

My oldest and I being silly :)
