Messy Morning (YUCKY Post)

Well this morning started off a bit too early for me. Dylan was up on the hour last night grumpy and hungry. Right at 7:00 a.m., Dylan was up crying and Thade was up crying too. Dylan was hungry, for Cheerios (his new favorite), and Thade said that he had a bad dream, he also felt awfully warm…

I got everybody changed, dressed, and downstairs, including the giant Elmo, and Thade’s new HeatBlast Ben 10 toy. Dylan was happily eating in the high chair, and Thade chilling out on our big new Easy-Chair (thanks Grandma), but Thade was still upset and complaining of a tummy ache. Uh oh! I went into the kitchen, and I heard Thade cough, and then I hear the footsteps running through the house. Thade got sick in the living room, the dining room, and then all over the kitchen. I hope his tummy feels better now.

I got him changed into a new outfit, and a new blanket for him to cuddle up with. I’ve got everything cleaned up, and I’m finally getting to that cup of coffee. I had a feeling that today was going to be one of those days 😉 We still have to go to the Doctor this afternoon, and I think that is why Thade is so upset. I hope that he feels better soon 🙂

I Blame the Teething…

My goodness I am worn out this morning. I had a nice evening planned of dinner, early baths for the boys, and then me watching Jon & Kate + Eight in bed with my feet up. Dinner was a little late due to two yucky diaper changes, and early baths turned into packing lunch for my hubby, and cleaning the kitchen, while Thade watched the new Naked Brothers Band movie Sidekicks on Nick. Dylan loved the movie too, and danced around in his walker to the music.

Finally 8:00 p.m., and the boys and I are watching Jon & Kate + Eight 🙂 By watch I mean, two boys run (or crawl) around like crazy, and bounce around the living room loudly. So I got to half watch both episodes. I loved both episodes, and I’m so ready to organize like Kate 🙂 I fed Dylan once more, and the boys and I headed upstairs.

I finally got Thade a bath, 3 stories read, and off to bed. Dylan only napped the 15 minutes that Thade was in the bath, so he was up and grumpy. From 9:30 p.m. on Dylan was up on the hour. I blame the teething for the sleepless night. He finally fell asleep for a solid 2 hours at 5:30 a.m., and so did Mommy. I am exhausted today. I hope that Dylan sleeps better tonight 🙂

Nico The Slacker

Well yesterday I had lots of plans to get all of my errands accomplished, and I ended up just hanging out with the kiddos. Thade and I played Play-Doh in the kitchen, and Dylan was having an “I need Mommy to carry me everywhere day”, so I spent lots of time with him too. I’m glad I got in a little rest, as Dylan was up a lot last night with teething troubles.

I have lots to do today, and lots to catch up on too. Now I just need the energy to get it all done. Here is what I’ll be up to today:

  • Go shopping at Wal-Mart : Groceries, James travel needs
  • Wash 7 loads of laundry over the next 2 days
  • Start Packing the Suitcases for James trip
  • Put away clean dishes, and finish the washing from yesterday
  • Clean out my car
  • Watch the Green Bay Packers game today! GO PACKERS!!!!!

Dylan is still grumpy today, and I really hope that those little teeth come in soon. I’m pretty tired from all of the baby carrying, and extra nursing. Maybe one or two more cups of coffee will help me out this morning 🙂

Long Last Night

Last night went just as I thought it would. Dylan was up late, and finally fell asleep at mid-night. At 1:00 a.m., we had a loud thunderstorm roll in, and Dylan was up, and Thade woke up to at 1:30 a.m. From then on it was on the hour that Dylan was up and grumpy. Finally at 6:30 a.m. everybody was snoozing, and all of the storms had passed. I got to sleep in until 8:30 a.m., and then the day was ready to get started.

The one good thing about last night, I got to catch the season premiere of Jon & Kate plus Eight for the second time. I love that show, it is so amazing to see how Kate makes it through the day with 8 kids, she is one great Mommy! I’ll be watching every Monday.

I don’t know what we’ll be doing today, but we had better get to it soon. Snow is moving in this afternoon, and I’m not so good at driving in the snow. I already miss the 70 degree weather that we had just yesterday 😉

The Best Toys are Free

The kids had so much fun playing with Craft Paper today. Thade drew pictures, and Dylan had fun shredding the art-work. It once again proves that the best toys are the free ones, and you can’t beat good old imagination.
