I have been so busy that I haven't had a chance to keep up with this blog. We just got back from a quick, and much needed, vacation to California. We went to Disneyland for a day, the beach for a day with Brian's brother Scott and their boys, and then back to Disneyland with my brother, Joe, and his family. Wow! It was so much fun! I feel like we pressed a restart button for my little family. We've been so stressed and fighting so much with the kids lately that it was awesome to get away from it all and just go and have fun. We stayed at a hotel with comfy beds and a full breakfast bar in the morning. I got a break from cleaning anf doing laundry for 5 days! And I had a chance to really pay attention to Sam and Josh and notice how the ADHD medication affects them. With Sammy, it definately helps with his impulsiveness and crazy wild rowdiness. It calms him down. However, with Josh, I noticed that he just seemed sad and he wasn't the same old happy Joshy until his medication wore off. So, yesterday I didn't give him the Adderall and I really paid attention to his mood and he was better. So I'm a little confused about Josh. I think I'll just not give him the medication for now and see how he is. Maybe he was just responding to Sammy's craziness.
Anyways, we all had a great time! The boys were so brave. They even rode Grizzly Rapids! They went to the Haunted Mansion and the Tiki Room and they were scared of those the last time we went to D Land. We love Disneyland. I'll post some pictures later.
I'm just glad to be back to our happy family again.

My boys and my husband LOVE the Lego Store in Downtown Disney!
Fun times making silly pictures with cousins.

We drove down to Carlsbad to visit Scott & Leslie. This is Brian and I at the beach. Thanks to Scott for taking this picture of us.
Me and my buddy, Josh. I love his smile!
