Syrup Drink?

 Athena still struggles with a sugar addiction. Last night I made buttermilk syrup and allowed her to taste it. She thought it was delicious.

I told her we'd have it with our german pancakes in a few days. 


This morning I woke up and found that 3/4 a cup of syrup had been removed from the container. She had drunken it!!

We went to church and when sacrament meeting ended I realized that when Athena vanished so did my phone! I went to her classroom and sure enough, it was there. I need my phone and you definitely don't!



Ty's Race Mistake

 Saturday the kids and Mom went to a fund raiser run for the middle school. Tiberias had eaten a breakfast sausage croissant. The race was at 9am.
Luke and Ty tried running the mile. As Ty moved along his chest began to hurt and it slowed his run down. "I shouldn't have had that breakfast sandwich!" he cried.

He kept trying. He kept going. But that breakfast was obviously a mistake!



Something Happens with Luke's Brain When He Leaves The House

 Lachoneus and Tiberias get along pretty well. And at home they hang out together. But they are interested in very different things. Ty plays pretend anime scenes alone and with friends. He watches kids anime cartoons and creates his own anime characters. He reads kids Manga and listens to music.
Luke plays video games and listens to audio books mostly. So the boys dont have much to do together in those categories. They wrestle and tease each other. They beat on each other jokingly, mostly. They jump on the trampoline together sometimes.

 

Well, lately when they leave the house (go to the library or a store) Tiberias knows what he wants to do. He knows which aisles he wants at the library and what he is looking for at the stores (anime/manga figurines). But Luke doesn't know what to do in those places. He doesn't have books he wants to check out or items he looks to purchase. So, he follows Tiberias around. It's gotten to the point where Luke is like a shadow of his brother. Wherever Ty goes like is in his bubble! Right next to him! Tiberias begs for space. He tells Luke to go away. But Luke is just drawn to stay in Ty's bubble! Like a zombie...trying to intimidate Ty by standing in his space and looking down at him! It's really bothers Ty! Sometimes I think Luke is doing it to try and annoy his brother. Other times it seems Luke becomes a shadow with no ideas of his own. 

Atleast back up, Luke!!! HAHA
So, mom was started saying "Come with me, Luke" and having him become her shadow.
