Muffins? No. Spinach? Yes!

T. just ate 3 bowls of spinach (raw) with the Hellman's spray salad dressing on it.
Previously, I offered him banana muffins, which he refused.
Go figure!

1/2 hour earlier...and no more the wiser...

Today was a PA day and it was so nice to not have to make a lunch and get G. off to school.
When T. was napping, G. and I played some Wii together. It's rare for us to have that time together now that he is in grade one and I savoured every moment. Even through the sighs and pouts when I WON a game or two (rare occurrence - that boy is GOOD!), I cherished that time with him. He is awesome.
After T. woke up, we hit Costco for some much needed items and then I bought the boys a very rare treat of McDonald's for supper. They were ecstatic.
And you know what I learned today? That the show that they watch right before bed every evening is on 1/2 an hour earlier on Fridays. So of course I let them watch something else after it. Oh wait, NO I DIDN'T!!! They totally went to bed a 1/2 hour early and didn't even know!
This is the type of thing I find very humourous now that I'm a mom.
Ways to trick my kids into thinking they are going to bed on time when in fact they are NOT!
Mwa mwa mwa mwaaaaa!

Let's see here...

This is my first post here on Living with Boyz.
Allow me to introduce myself.
I am a mom of two awesome boys, aged 6 and 2.
I am also a wife of one amazing husband and dad. I couldn't have picked a better person to take this fun and crazy ride with. We live in a small cottage-like house in the town we grew up in.
And we are loving the journey of being parents and figuring it all out together.
Enjoy reading about our antics, adventures and amazing days!
