No...it's not a myth...Yes...it really exists. The terrible two's have possessed our sweet little boy! It's ripped through our home like an angry tornado. Be afraid...be very afraid!!! Lurking behind the doors of the McAlhany home is a tantrum throwing, cat tail pulling, nekked dancing, no nap taking, crayon wall artist, chocolate milkaholic, into everything, danger seeking, non-sharing, master of the tv volume control, crazed Britney Spears "Womanizer" fan who makes his mother drive to the bank just to get him a sucker whenever he wants one. Can you tell who wears the pants in the family? It's our son...Declan. I'm at the library every week trying to find new books to help me cope, and help me fight back against this little 2 foot tall monster!! Of course, I can't let him see my fear...I am the boss. I am the mother. I giveth the sucker, therefore I can taketh away! ....right? Underneath that little two year old terror...there is a sweet boy. I've seen him! He gives me hugs and kisses and smiles to melt anyone's heart. We just have to get through this "mine! mine! mine!" stage and transform our son back into the thoughtful, giving, loving little man we know he can be. Wish us luck!!!!!!

Camping Cutie!
This was our first camping trip of the season! Nana and Papa have a trailer up at Eagles Lodge and that is where we spent our memorial day weekend. We had lots of fun making smores, visiting cousins, and playing at the playground. The Not-so-fun part came at bedtime! Read on for the details!
Nope! Not tired at all!
Bedtime was a nightmare! Declan would not go to sleep! I think he was too excited to be sleeping somewhere different. Or maybe he couldn't sleep because of papa's snoring! But everytime he heard a snore from papa, he would giggle and say "Papa farted!" I laughed and then told him "no, he is snoring...now go to sleep!" Later on, he got a bit homesick and cried to go home. That was tough to hear. I just held him really close and told him everything was going to be ok and that I was right there next to him.
One of my favorite pics...
I just love his piercing blue eyes in this picture. He is truly a handsome boy! We did a great job of making him! LOL!!

Splish Splash!
Declan loooooves his bubble baths. He thinks it's funny to put the bubbles on his face to look like "Santa Claus." This beard was perfect!!! Not quite as full as Santa's though!
He's still learning not to eat the bubbles!!!!
It doesn't get any cuter than this!!! Just look at those cheeks!!! No, not those cheeks!!
Toweling off after bathtime! I just love this picture...maybe beacuse I haven't ever seen him have this look on his face before!
