This Is Us

So last Saturday we went to the Bees game with my work and it was Fan Appreciation Night, so they gave out a lot of free stuff. My work also had a raffle. I won a bat bag. It's really nice and big. It was so much fun, and the kids really enjoyed it this time. We've gone before, but haven't been able to stay for the last couple innings, because the game can't keep their attention (the ADHD). But they were very good this time... There were some factors in that: 1. One of my friends from work sat in front of us, and they had their two little boys with them. 2. There was fireworks after the game 3. After the fireworks they were able to run the bases on the diamond. Nick went to go get some Dippin' Dots (some of our favorite "Ice Cream"), and he snuck into the gift shop first. He came back with some T-shirts for the kids, and bats... oh and the Dippin' Dots. They were so excited about them (as you can see from the pictures). Thanks Hunny! Also Matt (The COO...

Okay, So this is my first post here. So I guess I'll start my blogging with my kids Ballet class last night... Brichette and Xander are taking a ballet class. It's only a 7 week class, and then they have a performance. The class is only 1/2 hour long, so that doesn't give them much time to learn their dance before their performance. They do really good at first, but then they loose interest (the ADHD) and start staring at themselves in the mirror, and following the other kids and not the teacher. We try to help, by yelling (not to loud but loud enough they can hear us) their name and telling them that they need to follow their teacher and do what she does, but we disrupt the class when we do that. Then when they go to get a drink, we have them come over to us and we tell them that they need to be watching the teacher and not themselves or the other kids. That works for a minute, but then they are goofing off again. We are trying to think of other ways to help them listen in...
