He's Having a Baby!

Tonight Daddy is teaching class at Benedictine.  While I was upstairs putting Amelia to bed, Alex was supposed to be sitting on the couch watching TV.  Well, I came downstairs to him telling me excitedly, "that he was having a baby!"  I asked him when it was coming and he said "5 or 6 days."  This Momma is not ready to be a grandma yet!!!  Twenty minutes later we had a nice little white stuffed bear rejoin our family!!!

This is Child Abuse

OK, actually it's just a haircut but Alex would not agree with us.  It's really lovely when he starts screaming, gets hair in his mouth, and then starts gagging and spitting.  Oh, the joys of parenthood!!

Steak n Shake

Today is Martin Luther King Jr day, which means a three day weekend.  Alex decided we should go out for lunch today.  We needed to run to Lowe's so we decided why not.  He really wanted McDonald's but we told him no.  Steak n Shake was his next choice, and a much better one we think!!  PS  It's really cold outside today!! BURRRRR!!!

Two of Her Favorites

Briggsy and my cell phone.  She's a happy girl tonight!!  As a matter of fact she was so happy, she made several phone calls to people to have chats with them.  I had no idea until Trista sent me a message telling me that one of the kids had called her.  Oops!  Sorry if you got a call.

The Many Uses of a Broom

Poking yourself in the eye

Cleaning under the couch

Turning on the light switch

Not really sure, maybe herding the cattle to the barn

A baseball bat

And actually cleaning

double handed cleaning.

You'd Never Know

from these pictures that this little lady has an ear infection.   She's kind of acted off the last few days, but has been in a fairly good mood.  This morning she woke up with green snot, so I decided it was best to take her to the Doctor.  Sure enough, she has an ear infection!!!  She has so much wax blocking her tube that it wasn't able to drain.  I tried to take her back to daycare, but she was not having it. So we've stayed home and snuggled while watching Barney and Elmo.  After a three hour nap and a dose of antibiotics and she's feeling tons better.

It was nice to spend some time with just her today.  However, the poor little thing didn't hardly know what to do without her brother.  She asked so many times while in the car, at the doctor, and at home "Where Alex go?"  She was more than excited to see her brother after Daddy  picked him up at daycare!!!
