Around Here

We survived (barely) Mia getting her tonsils and adenoids removed. It was hellacious to say the least. We had six nites of waking, screaming bloody murder EVERY TWO HOURS.  Once she recuperated we had a week of no one being sick and 60 degree January weather. It was heaven . Then the twins got a respiratory virus. Cue worst week every. Grayson got so dehydrated from refusing the bottle I spent a whole day doing nothing but giving him pedialite through a medicine dropper. We avoided an ER visit by a hair. Both babies are feeling better but still have hacking coughs and runny noses. They are also back to waking twice a nite wanting to eat. At ten months I would be very inclined to let them cry it out but their room is attached to ours. It stinks. Not to mention, if one screeches for too long there is a good chance the other baby will wake. It really stinks and Damon and I are completely exhausted.

My kindergartner had her first Father/Daughter dance! She was super nervous daddy wouldn't want to dance with her. Don't you know daddy's always going to be there for you , little girl. Even if he hates dancing, especially in public. They went and had an amazing time!!!

Lara (my college roommate & bestie came up from Florida to snuggle the twins for the first time. The big kids were so excited to see her. Mia said, I'm going to get dressed for Auntie Lala, and came down in a 1920's flapper costume covered in sequins. I was dying!!!

I hate the cold so even though the winter weather hasn't been terrible we've been in hibernation mode! Trying to survive by doing all the indoor winter activities. Kinetic sand, play doh, paints, Crazy Eights, War,  Magna Tiles & of course swim lessons at Goldfish Swim School! We've watched some new movies & had make our own pizza nite! The original Annie, Snow White and Finding Dory are some of our favs. We went thrifting and had Teddy Bear picnic day at Preschool.  Everyone is growing like a weed and WE CAN NOT WAIT FOR SPRING!!!!!

Three Weeks of Babies

I thought about putting three weeks already but honestly time blends together and the days are slow when you sit in bed and feed babies alllll day long. Every three hours like clock work. Pump, feed, burp, change, try and nap in between, 24 hours at a time. Lots of leftover Easter candy and HG TV is keeping us going! That and our friends and family keeping us overly fed and helping with the big terrorists kids.

Wyatt seems to be the needier babe, while Grayson is more laid back. Gray's favorite thing is to take a big mouthful of milk and just let it fall out of his mouth. I told Damon I wish someone would feed me pizza and I could just let it drip out of my mouth. That's the life. The nites are long and usually I can't remember exactly how many times I was up to put a binky in or who I held in the rocker for an hour to get them to sleep.

Lucky They Are So Cute

Oh, you know. Just a lil pre-date espresso before his cute friend Rory came over!!!! Five minutes ago I told Damon I don't think I can live in Ohio for the rest of my life. The not being able to go outside for four months is a killer. I am SOOOO grumpy. My kids have been out of control. It's one of those hide in the closet & eat 10 cadbury eggs days. Except I'm too cold to leave my house to buy some. Luckily Friday's date night dinner was Matt the Miller chips & chocolate cake. That's it. That's all I ordered. It was perfect!!! American Sniper was sold out:( The next morning on binged on Scandal Season 3 since I had the house all to myself.
