Sick kids, Audrey’s birthday……a card tomorrow!

Can you believe that I’ve had my hefty box of papertrey and havent dug into it? Yeah, neither can I! But if you had a night last night like I did, then you would know why! And Sean had quite the night too, so hoooray for my hubby!

Ava started to get a cold on Saturday and yesterday Audrey was hit with it. Sniffly, stuffy noses, coughs and fevers…..sad! Last night Audrey was up literally ALL NIGHT LONG!!!!!!!! She was fevering and couldnt breath or get comfy, so instead of having her scream and cry in her crib she was awake and comfortable as can be in the living room with Sean. Ava had a major coughing fit that made her sick and was on the brink of vommitting for an hour. She hasnt thrown up since she was 6 months, so it really scared her. She too was feverish and was a limp rag doll in my arms. But she was happy to have me comfort her and snuggle in her bed so finally I was able to get her to sleep.

This morning when I woke up I was so tired I really wanted to call my trainer and cancel but I knew I had to go. So off I went and when I came home I was exhausted. And just now writing that sentence I had to rewrite it 4 times, my brain is mush. So I need to hurry up.

Anyway, tomorrow is Audrey’s 2nd birthday and I want to make her a card. So I will definately have a card to share tomorrow. We are having tortilla pizza’s, one of her favorite foods, especially if Im eating it! And boston cream pie cupcakes from the most AWESOME cupcake book: “Vegan cupcakes take over the world!” seriously 75 different cupcake recipes!!!!

And quickly, I had to share that my mom got me 2 of the most amazing craft books for my birthday and Im excited to try some new stuff out and show it here! It’s more jewelry and stamping blending and working with plastics, metals and clay! Soooo fun!

Ok, off to bed.

What Daddy and the girls have been doing

As I went to take the pictures off the camera today for my card I found these pictures of Sean and the girls while I’ve been out of it.

Ava got a bunch of new fall/winter clothes and it makes her look so grown up! She looks ready for school:

A cute little picture of Daddy and Ava outside:

And then my girls in their jammies….Audrey is totally catching up to Ava in size!

Quiet

Im feeling quiet. Im in a ’sad sue’ mood. Im extra sensitive and everything is making me cry. Last night Sean and I watched back to back episodes of Dr. 90210. And today at finally 1:40 Im not crying or weepy anymore. I’ll be ok, but these pictures made me smile so I thought I would share.

It’s dress day at our house, so here is Audrey in her cherry dress about to play with some fridge toys:

And then Ava in her new stripey shirt and stripey tights combo:

Hopefully tonight I’ll feel up to doing something creative.

I was right

She is 10% cuter today than a couple days ago!

What the kids are doing

I got back from the gym and found some fun pictures on the camera, so I thought I would share.

Here’s little Audrey with her sisters sunglasses on, so COOL!

Here’s Ava with Daddy giving a pinkie wave:

And then here are a couple of Audrey playing this morning:

I’ve been estimating that they get about 10% cuter everyday! Im a lucky Momma.

My morning so far…….

It started out great, Ava woke me up at 7:30 her usual cheery self saying “wake up nice and easy”. We snuggled and lazed around in bed for a half hour then got up.

But then it got really messy………………

I got Audrey who was awake and happy, but her diaper had leaked……NICE. Then after breakfast Ava was sitting on the couch and had an accident…….NICE. Clean that up, all is good.

Within about 30 seconds Ava started to meltdown, and Audrey started to meltdown as it was her naptime so I got up to heat up some soy milk for her. When I went to the kitchen Martin was waiting at the door so I let him out. Meanwhile Audrey had turned into Franken-baby and was running around the living room moaning, while Ava was on the staircase crying because the moon is asleep.

Microwave dings and I go to let Martin inside but see he wanted out because he had diarhea. And while Im thankful that it DIDNT happen inside, I know because his fur is way too long that I will need to wash his rump. He comes inside and sure enough his rump looks a little messy. So I swoop him up really fast and take him in the bathroom. But it’s worse, much worse than I imagined. A simple wipe wont do, so I go to wash his rump.

Audrey is still running around but then finds me in the bathroom and comes in to play with Ava’s little potty. So I have Martin in my hands and Im trying to fend off Audrey with my foot, and it only makes her more angry. And Ava is still upset that the moon is asleep.

I got Martin cleaned, Audrey is in her crib with a full belly, Ava is dressed and has an inch of lipgloss on her lips and I am ready to get out of the house!

My Mom has today off and offered me her car to get out and Im taking her up on it. We are dangerously low on groceries and I’d like to go to Whole Foods alone.

UPDATE:

Martin had ANOTHER accident….lovely. Then I went to the store and did my shopping, picking out lovely fruits, veggies and some madelines for Ava. Then I get to the register and no debit card, no credit card…….both sitting at home.  So now, I get to go out again tonight after I stop at my candle lady’s house.

Man, today is a day to stay in bed with the covers up to your nose and watching some Lifetime movie marathon’s. Or better a Beverly Hills 90210 marathon, but Id settle for staying in bed. Oh the life!

The difference a year makes

I was looking at my husbands blog about being a dad, papasean and was looking at some older entries when I came accross one of little Audrey one year ago.

The picture was taken at the Dr’s office for her 9 month checkup on his cell phone, so it’s a little grainy. But he did manage to put a cute caption on it! Here’s Audrey at 9 months, 1 year ago:

And here she is this past weekend,

My oh my how the time flies!

Delicious!

Look at cute little Audrey! Sean took this picture of her after dinner while she was playing with a polar bear that Grandma brought back from Alaska. She is so yummy that I want to nibble on her!

Going to the Dr.

Yesterday Ava had to go to the eye Dr. since she keeps getting stye infections. They sent her home with the same ointment they always do and said “She’ll grow out of it”…..frustrating but hopefully they know whats best. She did however get to pick out some super cool glasses from the treasure chest at the office…

She makes funny faces when she wears glasses, her “cool” face, it cracks me up.

Ava went to Grandma’s to play and when Audrey woke up from her nap she was walking around the house looking for something…..or someone. She missed her sissy.  After dinner there was a rare moment of share time with some of Ava’s favorite toys, she shares but not usually her bucket o’ fishes. This needed to be documented.

Today Sean will be taking the girls to Great Grandma Lois’ house, since their Grandma Jeanie is in town. They will have a nice afternoon visit I’m sure.  I had daydreams of taking some percocet for my wrist and laying around watching bad soaps, but alas I have an appointment at 6:10, so I cant be totally out of it today. Instead I’ll work on something in the craft room. 

Sweetness in the morning~

Here’s my cute little one this morning about to enjoy a delicious waffle…..
