Birthday shout-out!

I want to say happy birthday to my niece Jenni who is 6 today!




Have a great day Jenni!

Sweet dreams are NOT made of this...

I had the most random and morbid dream last night. Adam got a new job and our family was moving to California. Adam left ahead of me and the kids so he could get the house ready. That left me with no car and I remember thinking "how are the kids and I supposed to get there??" Well I must have found a magical transporter because suddenly we were all there. So the kids and I start looking around the house and checking out the rooms. Brianna opens the garage door and screams bloody murder. I go running over to her and Adam casually says "Oh yeah,there are 2 dead bodies in there." WTH??? (Oh is that all? Gosh Brianna,don't be a wimp) I call 911 and the cops come over. They are casual about it too and say,"These guys were roommates,one killed the other and then committed suicide. We will leave the bodies in there and then when there is an earthquake,your garage won't fall down." (Again,WTH??...but at least our garage is safe,pshew!) There were about 20 cement stairs down to the garage and some of them were missing. Instead of yelling at Adam for picking this nightmare house,I was trying to figure out how to make it work and what could be done about the stairs. I don't know what I ate last night but it did NOT like me.

I'm scared to go to sleep tonight..

EDITED TO ADD: We finally have a garage door opener! YAY!
Yes,I'm lame-o to be excited about that but I don't care! :P

The week in pics.

Josh hung up this sign in the kitchen the other day. Apparently he didn't want anyone to slip and sue us. He even drew a picture of the guy slipping...just to make it more realistic.

This is what happens when you kick a door frame..I don't recommend it. It's like stubbing your toe times a bajillion. I've been hobbling around since Monday night. Pain,I'z in it.

How cute is this handsome guy?! Brady got a haircut today and it went really well...no fit this time. IMO that is always a good thing.

Sickies,Big Lots and decorating.

~~After a trip to the InstaCare last night,Brianna is officially on antibiotics too. The poor girl was crying about her ear yesterday afternoon so I took her to the doctor while my sweet mom kept the boys. Now we have 3 bottles of bubble gum flavored medicine in our fridge,but only 2 kids who will take it without a struggle. (can you guess who the fighter is?) All of us have had the sickies except for Josh (knock wood) and I have allergies on top of it. (dang dog hair!)

~~I had a meeting with Josh's teacher yesterday and everything went really well. She said Josh is the best reader in his group and he does really well as long as she is motivating him. So he is a lot like his dad..Adam was the same way in school. I've been doing flash cards with him and now he will be doing take home books again so that should help. There is a Valentines party at school tomorrow and he is so excited. He loves holidays!

~~I have spent too much money at Big Lots lately! They have so many cute things there!! There is a lot of black wall decor which I want for my bedroom. I bought 4 pillows for my couch,2 votives and a clock for the living room. Then I bought a curtain rod and 2 votives for my bedroom and a new booster seat for Josh,plus some odds and ends. The rugs in the kids' rooms were purchased there too. The boys have Disney's "Cars" for their room (their rug is Mater) and Brianna's is purple,pink and girly. (and no Camden will not have a complex from sharing that room with her for awhile) :P I also bought some vinyl from Robert's to decorate the walls. Now I need to finish un-packing so I can start hanging decor on the wall. I have color schemes for all of the rooms and I've been looking at home magazines for inexpensive ideas.

~~I now have 2 pieces of Valentine decor! I have a table runner that Adam's aunt Eileen made for us and a "Love" sign that I bought at Robert's Craft (for 40% off..yay for savings!) I do have cardstock hearts but they are packed away somewhere..so for now you will have to be satisfied with what I got,aight?


Isn't it purty?
And who knows,maybe I will find my St. Patrick's Day stuff before March...unless the kids get sick again.

Good news..Bad news.

Good news - Brayden is feeling a lot better and so am I. I had really bad sinus headaches on Saturday and Sunday.

Bad news - Camden is still wheezing a lot and I think Brianna might be catching the sickies now.

Good news - The kids are all sleeping really well.

Bad news - Josh doesn't like going to school at all. I have to practically drag him there in the morning. He is behind on his reading and he had a tutor at his last school,which seemed to help. I've tried calling his teacher so I can talk to her and she has yet to return my calls. It's very frustrating!

Good news - We finally got the gate installed at the top of the stairs. That was a huge pain!

Bad news - Because I've been sick,I haven't been able to un-pack anything. We still have boxes all over.

Today is such a special day!

It's my MIL's birthday so I dedicate these flairs to her.









Happy birthday Corilee!

This little guy..

...is 8 months old today! My baby is growing up too fast! :(

Update

I can't believe I haven't made a new post for a week! You would think it's because I've been un-packing but I won't lie..it's not because of that. I'm exhausted lately because Camden is having a hard time sleeping. I'm lucky if he sleeps for 2 hours straight...seriously. I put him back to bed this morning and he was awake 20 minutes later! So frustrating! I let him cry for awhile and he just screams his head off. I've been falling asleep at 8:30 lately and I'm so tired still. *YAWN*

I had to take Brady to the doctor yesterday and he has parainfluenza 2 which is the virus that starts as a cold and turns into croup. So Brady got a steroid shot yesterday and antibiotics because he has a double ear infection as well. To top it off Camden has been coughing since last night so I think he may have it now. *sigh* Anyway I'll try to post again later since Camden is awake again.
