Tomorrow Is Another Day...

I am so greatful for those words today. I am greatful that every day is a new day. Yesterday we had a rough day. I've been having a hard time sleeping and the baby has been getting up early this week. Not a good combo for mom. (nor dad seeing how he gets up at 4:30 every morning, but he's one of those people that can just keep going and going and going...I'm begining to learn, so is his son!) Anyways, Payton was getting frustrated with me all day. He would want me to do something and I would think I knew what he wanted me to do only when I'd do it it obviously wasn't what he wanted! This continued all day. He's into the climbing on everything stage. So he chose the couch to climb on yesterday, fine right, well he was climbing on the very top of it, with a goal to reach Josh's bobble heads that are on our high window ledge. Not OK. I took him down and kept taking him down. I envisioned Supper Nanny repeatedly removing children from the situation or placing them in time out until they stayed there. He kept climbing. I tried everything, removing him from the situation, distracting him, everything. Then I was putting something away in the kitchen and he bit me right in the thigh. HARD! I put him in time out, he didn't care, maybe he's too little, maybe he's like Uncle Casey in that form and doesn't care about punishment and I will have to find something he utterly loves to take away. I will not spank him, I slapped his hand once and he hit me right back, can you say Casey?! So that punishment was out. We'll find something. He was angry playing outside, which almost never happens. I wasn't pouring the sand correctly from the cup to the bucket. So he was angry again. My mom used to always tell us, if something is making you frustrated take a break from it and come back to it later. So we tried that, he just got mad at the next thing! Bathtime is usually a peaceful time in our house. Not last night. Water was everywhere. I don't mind if alittle gets on the floor, but he was pouring it out on purpose. I said ok, the water needs to stay in the tub, if you throw it out 1 more time, you have to get out. He looked at me with his toy filled with water, I allready took away the cups, and poured it on the floor. His face read, then take me out lady. See if I care! So out he went. Later that night he was climbing again and fell off the couch, smacked his face on the wooden coffee table. He bit the inside of his cheek and has a scrape from his ear to the corner of his mouth and it's alittle swollen. However, he is ok. The day ended, we all went to bed after another grueling Brewers loss.. I'm sure we'll have many more days like that, and thats ok. We woke up today and it was a new day. I must say, it's going quite well! Thankfully the words "tomorrow is another day" worked out well for us:)

A Family Favorite...

THE BEACH!!!!!

Last week Josh took a half day and we went to the beach! It's a really nice beach about 20 minutes away from us. The water is nice, the sand is nice and they have a little place that you can buy treats! The beach also has lifeguards, which is always good! I probably don't have to tell you that Payton loved it! He is so brave! We spent a good 4 hours there! I love summer!

Brewer Game!

On July 5-6 my dad and stepmom came down to visit! We hung out around town on Saturday and on Sunday we went to a Brewer game! This was a special game because it was Payton's first one! Josh was soooo excited to take his son to his first baseball game! We had a wonderful time! I was so nervous to take the baby because I didn't know how he'd do, plus there's over 40,000 people there! He did wonderful! He slept for the 3rd and 4th innings. He loved watching Bernie Brewer go down the slide when the Brewers hit a home run! Now when they're on tv that's what he looks for! We had lots of treats at the game and Grandpa and Grandma K bought Payton a little Bernie Brewer doll! He makes it slide at home! Enjoy the pics as this is a huge proud moment for Paytons wonderful daddy! I had a great time too! Daddy and Payton walking into Miller Park! Go Brewers! (My favorite pic!) A slide replicating Bernie's! In the kiddie area of the stadium! Family photo by the field! Photo in the big glove! Sausage race! Look close, there are mini sausages in front of the original ones!! SO cute! Payton and I by the Polish sausage. How fitting for the little Muszynski! Payton watching for Bernie! Waiting to see if we could get some autographs...no luck! Our boo boo enjoying a cold treat! He's lovin the game, just like his daddy! All of us! My boys..the loves of my life...like father like son. It was a Brewer victory!

4th of July Festivities!

I'm finally posting on our 4th of July festivities. We started them on July 3rd with fireworks in a town nearby Racine. We went with Dawn, Bubba and Little Ryan. Some of Dawns family was also there! It was a great firework display and Payton had a blast playing with all the kids as usual. On Friday we started our day with the Racine parade. We went with Nonny and PopArt. Later that day we had a grill out with some people that Josh works with. Payton wasn't feeling the best, he had a virus, so we didn't do much during the day. We ended our 4th watching the fireworks on the lake!

Water Baby!

We've known since Payton was a tiny baby that he loved the water! He loves to swim and he loves his baths! One hot summer day we decided to play with the hose and turn on the sprinkler! The first time I was just watering my flowers when Payton wanted me to get him wet! So I did! That's why he's drenched in his clothes! Another hot summer day we put his suit on and he played and played! I can't believe how he loves that freezing cold water! The joy on his face and his laughter was enough to make our day!!

Here's some more pictures of Payton after he was painting. He's quite the artist! I like to make cards out of his paintings, I think they're neat. So do his grandparents:)

Jelly Belly Factory!

On our first Saturday with nothing planned to do we decided to take alittle trip to the Jelly Belly Factory! It's only about 15 minutes from our house! They don't charge admission and the day that we went they were having a Kid Fest with extra activities for the kids. They have a train that takes you through the factory and shows you how the jelly beans are made. At the end of the tour they give you a bag of jelly beans to take home. We also mixed up a bag of our own and we spent $13.00 on jelly beans!!! It was a super fun day! Payton meeting the big Jelly Belly! The 3 of us after the train ride with our hats on! PJ enjoying the ride! Under the big Jelly Belly outside the factory!
