lysol, hand washing, airborne....

Here we go again.  My girl started sneezing in the early hours of today.  She had breakfast before 6am and is now happily watching Dora on her ipod.  Her nose has been running with regularity since she got up.  Just in time for her birthday celebrations we have planned for tomorrow & Saturday.  ARGHHHHH.  Somehow I knew this was coming.

I'm starting to feel the delirium of 4 1/2 hours of sleep.

On a funny note, my girl is talking about guinea pigs all the time and what they do and do not do.  For example, she will ask me for some yogurt and then tell me that guinea pigs don't eat yogurt.  She likes to slip these comments in most when she is doing something she isn't supposed to be doing.  This is actually very effective as it distracts me from the issue at hand and usually makes me giggle.

Well I can see that the delirium is setting in on her now too - she just told me that Ming-Ming is nuts.  A comment that those with young children may understand.

The Ipod is no longer entertaining - so I better sign off.

Praying that I get through today.......

Yep, he can already stand up in the crib!

laundry day

I've got some new pics and videos to get on my computer then I will have some fun things to post.  For now I'm catching up on laundry.  It's a rainy day here which is nice for a change, we need the rain!  Hope you all are having a great week.  Hoping to get the pics posted by the end of the week.

quick one

Well my babies are asleep and my computer has 17% battery left so this one will be quick!

We are getting back into our regular routine.  My girl is enjoying being back at school.  My boy has a new tooth and is really getting around!  One of his many nicknames is Scooter and it suits him perfectly.  
Here's a really cute recent photo of my kids and their cousins.  Guess who didn't want their picture taken??  She IS a girl!

Happy 2009!

This is so exciting!

The one thing she asked for - a snowglobe!


Whew - well the holidays are over.  Now it's time to pack away all the decorations - anyone want to help?  That's getting to be more of a chore every year.

We had a great Christmas and a very quiet New Year - I was the only one awake at midnight.  

Here are a few holiday photos to share.  

Here's to a great year!!

This and that

Happy Holidays!  About a week to go - we are nearly ready.  

Not much new around here.  My girl is sick - hoping that the baby boy & I steer clear of it.  I don't want a sick family on Christmas.  I hope she doesn't have to miss Santa at school on Friday, but it looks like that's probable at this point.  :( 

Here are a few recent pics...  ok I started 
this last night.  Going to find a few pics to post and get this 
done before I get interrupted!! 

Good night.

...I was interrupted so here we go again.  Finally I will add some new photos.  I will go ahead and say Merry Christmas, because chances are - this will be my last post before then.  Hope to have some great Christmas pics with t
he kids to post later next week. ttfn

Catch up

Well - I know it's been a while.  First there was the week without internet, then my camera went missing and now it's just hard to find a few minutes when both of my kids are asleep at the same time.  As I wrote that my baby boy woke up....  

Getting into the Christmas spirit around here.  We have our tree up, just waiting on my husband to put the tree topper on.  I will post some tree pics soon.  

Here are a few recent pics of the kids.  BTW if any
one out there has some secrets to getting a 4 month old to sleep soundly through the night, please let me know :)  Good thing he's so cute...


Sorry Christie, I know you've already seen these but I promise to try and post some others soon!!
