I couldn't pick just one kid to post a picture of, so you get both. :) 
My mom came down today to help out with the kids while Josh was in Brandon, taking his Level 1 practical (attempt #2). I slept, Paige fussed, and my mom and Wyatt got to play outside. After she left, and we had supper, Wyatt wanted to draw a picture - so this is Grandma and Wyatt on the swings. I drew, he coloured - what does it mean when he wants everything black? Rolling Stone fan at heart? ;) He drew the yellow sun and blue clouds on his own, and signed his name at the bottom. Thanks again, mom!
Josh passed his level 1 practical exam! Way to go, we are so proud of you! Thanks to Tanya Gerbrandt, the wife of another firefighter, for the pictures. Josh thinks that might be his leg in the left hand corner, ha ha. There are more pictures of a live burn they did in April here.
I love this kid. A LOT. But today was hard. He was up at 6, and we fought from sun up to sun down. Every single thing was a battle. He wanted a Nutri Grain bar, but since he never actually eats them (just takes a bite and leaves it somewhere for me to find), I suggested something else for breakfast. Meltdown. I needed to change his diaper. Meltdown. I asked him to wear his new sandals. Meltdown. Another diaper change. Meltdown AND he tried to kick me in the jaw. Lunchtime. Meltdown. Naptime went surprisingly well (he was probably exhausted by this point), and then he went off to Josh's grandparents while Paige and I went grocery shopping. Josh picked him up...meltdown. Came home. Meltdown. We got DQ for supper. Meltdown (although he said he wanted chicken, he really wanted a burger and mommy and daddy didn't read his mind). He and Josh went outside. Meltdown. They came inside. Biggest meltdown of the day. Bathtime. Meltdown. Everything after bathtime went smoothly though, I think it helped him calm down. My head is pounding - it's so unlike him to have days like this, and I'm sure that his lack of sleep, plus the new baby, plus the change in schedule (with me being home) is throwing everything off. I alternate between sympathy for him, because he's tired and overwhelmed and has no idea how to properly express it, and irritation because I have to listen to him scream all day and constantly put him in time outs.
Paige looks like she just got some alarming news from Josh. "What do you mean Luongo let in 12 shots in 2 games?"
There! Photographic proof that Wyatt is warming up to Paige. And that sometimes Josh is home, ha ha. :D
I finally got around to taking some pictures of Wyatt's room! Here is his bed, and a custom decal I ordered off Etsy for him. According to Wyatt, one airplane is his, one is mine, and one is Josh's. :)
The closet. We removed the doors to give the room a more open feeling, as it is a pretty small space. I still want to put the floating shelves up that were in his old room (our room now) on the wall above the head of his bed. Just have to get around to it!
Here are some more shots of Paige's room. The wardrobe is from IKEA.
The change table (my dad built this for Wyatt), and floating shelves.
A close up of the shelves - the first doll on the left was made by my sister Kaeleigh. The doll with the yellow hair is one that my Grandma Schroeder knit for me a very long time ago. :) I still have to hang the "Littlest Bird" art somewhere - perhaps above the crib or beside the window?
2 weeks old! She wanted to show off her baby blues. :) Her one eye has been pretty watery and gross today, poor kiddo. I think it's just a blocked tear duct though, so no need to run to the doctor just yet.
