Day three

So far, pretty good. I layed them down at 7:55 tonight…several escapes and many tears later…about 25 mins…silence. Hopefully it will be a good night. Last night went fine. William fell right asleep, I think because he didn’t nap well, and after Emily got out of bed once, she went right on too. This is what I saw this morning:

Yesterday after our nap fiasco, Billy made dinner and then decided to have movie night out on our porch. The weather just felt so nice it was hard to NOT be outside. So he made popcorn and put in Shrek. Please don’t chastise me if popcorn is still a choking hazard. I wasn’t sure, but we watched them closely to ensure they didn’t choke during the opening credits. This lasted all of about…7 minutes. Poor Billy, he wanted to have family time, and the babies were just not really into sitting for long periods of time. After a little while, we abandoned the idea and took a bath instead!

Here’s to a Happy Monday night! Keep your fingers crossed that we don’t get Rotavirus at this house…their sitter thinks that she has it and they went there today. They will be staying home with Daddy tomorrow and I’m just praying that the bug didn’t make its way home today, eek!

5K day

As of 1:40pm, they have been laying down for 40 mins, and this is what we have seen so far. They are still wide awake....we are in for a hard job I think!
I was supposed to be running/walking a 5K today. We went to the location, and we were running late, we weren't sure where to pick up my "chip" so we decided to do nature trails instead. We had a nice time though, the trail was about 1.5 miles and the babies walked most of the way, playing with sticks, looking for animals and making sure alligators didn't "eat babies." It was a nice way to start out the morning...now, if only afternoon naps would go ahead and begin, we can have a nice e

Toddler bed night 1

Well, the day started out pretty well. It was a beautiful day around here, weather was simply perfect and we were itching to do something outside. We started at H&R Block getting our taxes done. Then we made a quick trip to Costco to buy Billy some new shirts. By that time, it was time to come home, do lunch and take naps. The days just go by so quickly sometimes. I washed my car while the babies napped, and Billy too, and then decided to rake the yard. Once William woke up he came outside too, and helped in the yard, so he got a lot of outdoors time.


Fast forward to bedtime. We switched the beds over around 6, explained what was happening and attempted to do bedtime as usual. 7:45, we layed them down. 10:00...they finally layed down and went to sleep, no more laughing, jumping or escaping. I think this is going to be a long few weeks....any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Toddler beds, here we come

Tonight is the last night we'll be using cribs. EEK!!! William has fallen out of his bed twice now, so because I don't want him getting hurt, we are going to switch to the toddler beds. I'm very nervous about it, but know it must be done! More to come later...

Sick day

William woke up this morning around 4am and he had thrown up in his bed. He threw up a couple more times, just small bouts, nothing too major, so I decided to go ahead and try him at the sitter’s house. I got about 15 mins away and she called for me to pick him back up, he had thrown up 2 more times. So William and I stayed home with Daddy today. He was slightly puny, ran a low grade fever but after he got up from a marathon nap ( which he never takes), he seemed like he was feeling fine to me! Oh well, hopefully it was just a fluke thing and all will be well tomorrow! We don’t like sickness in this house! Happy Wednesday!

One of those days

I think the pictures say it all…one happy toddler, one not so happy toddler…lol, Happy Tuesday!

33 years old today

My husband that is. He’s a Valentine baby, which for some reason I find adorable and wonderful. We had a great day, we both took the day off and just hung out. We didn’t have much planned, I got up and let him sleep in, and me and the babies went to get doughnuts. We decided we’d go to the zoo for a few hours, so we did that and then ordered Chinese food for dinner. Nothing overly exciting, but a nice day and a wonderful way to celebrate Billy being the big 3-3. Here’s to 33 more happy years ( and hopefully many more than that)!!!!
