Ugh!

I am soo annoyed. Kylie was pretty crabby tonight so I put her to bed a bit early, around 7:30. She fussed for only a few minutes and then it was quiet. Well around 7:50 I came downstairs to find that the kids had taken off the cushions to the new couch and were jumping on the bare couch, which is worse than if there were cushions on it! They have done this before and have been told at least 2 or 3 times that this is a big no-no and have been sent to time-out for it also. So, I declared bedtime, a few minutes early as punishment for jumping on the couch. So OF COURSE Alyssa throws a huge fit and as I'm walking them upstairs I'm thinking, CRAP, this is going to "disturb" Kylie. And sure enough, moments later, she starts crying, and now 15 minutes later, she is still crying.

I am so annoyed because this happens at least once a week, either at bedtime or nap time. (nap times are better now that the kids are at school during her nap). But it drives me nuts. Because I don't want to not punish them and let them get away with things to avoid a fit, to therefore avoid the Kylie issue, but it drives me nuts that it wakes Kylie up, or at least disturbs her almost asleep state, or laying there peacefully state. Ugh!!

Kylie's 1st Haircut

Tonight, Kylie got her first haircut...unfortunately. TREVOR cut it! He was using some scissors, as he's allowed to do, to cut PAPER. Then he decided to get up and just go over to Kylie and cut her hair! He looks pretty happy in this picture, but he difinately got in trouble, and won't be using scissors for a while. P.S. Luckily, you can't even tell that it was cut.
