Wheres the cake?

Last night we threw away the rest of the cake - go figure this morning Sam asks where the cake went. I told him Daddy ate it and he said he wanted to leave daddy a note - so I gave him paper and a pen and he told me what he wanted to say and I spelled it for him and about died laughing - I think we will be keeping this note for a long time

 

 

He wanted me to sign my name too but I told him this note was just from him



Hand Foot and Mouth - Take 2

Hannah came down with a fever on Sat Dec 29th and we just assumed it was viral - on Day 5 of the fever we took her the dr where they ran a strep (negative) and checked out her ears and throat.  Everything looked normal and they sent us home.... a few hours later

 

 

Oh no -not again!  The sores are on her tongue, lips and insides of her mouth - her upper lip is swollen and she just cries and wants to be held 24/7 - the only meds that can help is Motrin, which doesnt help at all.  This is by far the worst childhood disease we have dealt with.

So, today is day sick - fever is still at 102 and my arms are aching (from holding her all day).  She has brief moments of happiness when she likes to wash her hands

 

Or rearrange my tupperware

 

For now we wait it out and pray she never gets it again!!!

 

 



Happy Birthday Mark

Happy New Year and Happy Birthday to my hubby!

Sam made him a very special birthday cake with cherry vanilla frosting

 

Sam got Mark this little red dish with candies

 

Sam: Mommy can I have this?

Me: for what?

Sam: to put money in?

Me: No, you dont need that - lets find something for daddy

Sam: Oh I know - lets give daddy this bowl!

Me: Do you think he would like it?

Sam: Yep! And when his birthday is over I can have it!

 

hahah....smart kid!

 

The cake had 47 blue candles and blue m&m's and a blue birthday card cuz

daddy said his fav color was blue!

 

A nice breakfast!

Cake time

 

Happy Birthday my love!

 

Hannah was feeling ok enough to sneak some icing - lol

 

 



Snowman

Sam wanted to make a snowman so we got bundled up and went outside (yesterday was waaayyyy too cold to go out)

All was well until Piper realized the mouth was made of almonds...



And they were soon all eaten

so we replaced it with a stick mouth =)



Good Job Sam!

In Pre-K they wont wipe your kid's butt after they poop so I had to teach Sam how to do it and he was horrible at it....finally I told him that once he started wiping really well and didnt have any poop in his undies (I know, gross) I would get him a kindle.  It took a few months but he has finally mastered it - YAY!!!!

So I gave him the kindle today  - he was sooo excited!!!  He even wanted to teach Hannah how to play a memory game

 

 

I had looked at the Leap Pads but I figured for a tiny bit more money I could get a Kindle and have way more apps and I could use it for the web - They also have something called Kindle Freetime where Sam logs in and all his apps are right there - memory games, puzzles, abc games, and of course....angry birds =)



Snow

People always laugh at me because I never have any clue what the weather is going to be or what is going on in the world.... I never have time to watch tv these days.  We have had snow flurries every day this week so when it started to flurry today I just assumed it was more "flurries". Then it started to accumulate

 

 

Then the snow plow came and salted the roads....uh-oh!

 

We ended up getting 4 inches - pretty cool!  Sam and I went out and played in it and went sledding - we had so much fun!

 

Where was Hannah?  Inside sleeping....my poor girl is sick =(



New stuff

 

I have friends that have 2 kids of the same gender and I hear about how they have to buy 2 of everything so there is no arguing - well I figured I wouldnt have to deal with that - Sam would have trucks and Hannah would have dolls.  Boy was I wrong.  Hannah loves Sam's things just as much as Sam loves Hannah's things.... including her new dolls and grocery cart =)
