SO proud!

Got the letter today, Zach got into Gateway! It's the "gifted" program, and we are so happy for him!

Watch out Cake Boss

cuz this six year old is gonna give you a run for your money! Zach created this last night with only a little help cracking the eggs and then holding the icing bags. (I did write "By Zach" for him.)













and our little taste-tester who insists to "try it, try it" when he sees the mixing bowls!

hmmmm

well i suppose nothing too terribly exciting has happened this week, seems Monday was my last post. i don't have any new pics either, so i guess i've been busy too. my classes started back this week and i'm struggling with the decision to stay at GHC and just get my RN or transfer to KSU and get my BSN-RN. other than that, i can't think of anything to add. maybe this day will perk up and i'll come back...or maybe you'll get another few days break from my babble....

Pay Back

Sooooo after that amazing night of sleep, Eli has been sure to pay me back for sending him to Nana's for a night. I think I had about 2 hours total last night, but I can't blame the little dude, he is teething AND snotty. Just wanted all those envious mommies to know, my bliss was short lived, be jealous no longer!

ahhhhhh SLEEP!

So, for the first time in I don't know how many years I got 8 straight hours of sleep. No getting up to pee, feed a baby, tossing-turning, i'm talking GOOD solid sleep! My mom kept Eli last night and around 10pm I took a unisom. Tucked myself cozily into bed with the electric blanket, and feel asleep watching some DVR'd stuff. I didn't even move until 7:57am. Then I laid there another 20 minutes or so just in awe of what sleep can do for one's body and mood. I could soooooo get used to sleep. But alas, the bugger will return today and sleep will be but a fond distant memory....

Fun Film Friday

Blizzard of 2010

So, the weather man said 1-2 inches
It was more like a dusting, but I'm sure the kids will enjoy it...
and I'm sure they'll get a snow day on Friday....

Random Photo Wednesday

Peace, Love, and Tomatoes...

If you ever lose Mikey.....

be sure to check the dog kennel....

Did you know.....

"Squids have testicles."

Just sayin'. Cuz I thought they were tentacles. Guess I was wrong.

Thank you Zach for setting me straight!

Bring On 2010

I realize it's been a while (thanks Tara for pointing that out to me about a month ago). So here it is, a new year, a new decade, and I'm going to try to be better about this blogging...not a resolution just an effort on my part. My last post was in October it seems. So much has happened.

First off, no we still do not have any answers about Mikey, but his puking seems to be under control and may possibly be related to his asthma. However, his eating is still almost non-existant and he's a skinny child compared to the others.

In November, my dad had an accident, well he hit his head REALLY hard on a metal piece of the outbuilding and suffered post-concussion syndrome, which made him lose his memory for about a month. That was truly scarey. We just knew he'd had a stroke. It was all very weird, like random things he knew and random things he didn't, and his speech was very impaired. He is now doing MUCH better and seems to be right back to his old grumpy self! Then the day after Christmas my mom started having pain and swelling on the right side of her face, turns out she had celluitis from a staph or MRSA infection, so she's recovering from that.

Nov 30th I started working again...full time...ACK! But I do get to work from home, so that's awesome! I'm doing customer service through a company called Alpine for a major weightloss program and LOVE it! I really only wanted part-time, but we were at a point where one of us had to take what we could get and my opportunity knocked first. Sooooo, this means that Chris is doing the stay-at-home-dad thing. He does really well. Better than I expected. Poor guy had three of them sick on his first day on daddy duty, and handled it with flying colors! I know he's enjoyed having the boyz out of school for winter break.

The boyz are all great. And really, can't think of anything major to report there.

We had a wonderful Christmas, and are just enjoying this last week of winter break before we have to get them back in the school schedule and I go back on Jan 11th.

I'll leave you with the most recent group shot, from a November visit to Carl's house (Chris' dad).

Happy New Year, may 2010 be prosperous, healthy, and happy for you all!
