I think the terrible twos have arrived. We never really had them with Laurel, and Luke has always been so well behaved, I think we thought we were in the clear. It looks like we were wrong. He screams, he hits, he throws himself on the ground. This happened overnight...literally. We brought both of the kids to Ikea on Sunday thinking we'd get a chance to look at some things for the new house and the kids would get to play. (and of course have some swedish meatballs) The trouble started at lunch and only got worse. Luke screamed, Luke cried, he even hit some girl!!! He takes discipline well (ie timeout, we aren't talking chain gangs or anything), and seems remorseful, but it doesn't seem to stop the behavior. I just hope we have the strength to live through it (and that this is short lived).
Here are some pictures from David and Karen's party over the weekend...the kids were sad to find that they no longer had cows, but thankfully they did have chickens. So here are some pictures of the kids looking at the chickens.
I also took this picture of Luke because I thought it was funny that the monster on his shirt had chocolate all around his mouth...and so did Luke. But, I didn't realize how much you could see the allergic reaction he had on Thursday (look under his eyes). We think it was to the Magnolia Tree pods he was wiping on his face (don't know why). His eyes puffed up soon after and then became red underneath for a couple of days.
