activity books

just finished these books for the girls.  made out of felt...of course.  i thought they'd be nice for the gazillion doctor appts. i have.  soon they'll be every 2wks then every week.  ugh.  Plus we'll have a ton of well baby check up appointments once he arrives.   

they helped mommy out today

sid's pretty good at this if anyone needs help.  kinzie on the other hand will just get you wet...

can you believe we were in our summer clothes!?  kinz fell in love w/ sid's old pair of dora light up sandals.

WARNING: post may contain poop

let me just say...  in the beginning i always thought little girls would have little farts (or fluffs as we call them).  after having two baby girls, we have found even though they are very small, baby girls can fart as loud as a full grown man.  now having two toddler girls, i again was fooled into thinking their poo would be relative to size.  this is just not the case.  these tiny little creatures have clogged our toilet more times than i can count.  between the two of them the bathroom was used 4 times in 1 hour today.   ...good gravy.
i was grossly misinformed on the matter. 

you didn't really think i'd post a poo picture did you?

it's a juggling act

friday morning.. sid's been sick, but we think she's better.  so we send the kids to west virginia with mama and papa.  larry and i go to riverside for his extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy that will break up his kidney stone.  things seem okay that night.
saturday.. we wake up.  get a call that the girls are both sick.  larry starts having pain from the kidney stone.  it's so bad we leave for the er.  on route to grady and his doctor calls back and says we have to go to marion general.   larry is close to dying of pain now.  we get to the er.  they make us sit in the waiting room for around 20mins!  mind you larry is about to die of pain.  i now know why everyone says not to go to marion general.   once we get a room and about another 20mins later,  he finally gets some pain medicine.  his urologists said the stone was broke up.  the er doctor said it was not.  meanwhile, the girls are so sick that wayne and linda pack up and head home with the girls.  (who puked in their car more times than i'm sure they want to remember.)  late afternoon, we decide to take our chances and leave the er.  we pick up the girls.  change their puke covered clothes and head home.  larry has now caught the flu from the girls.  saturday night was a rough one to say the least. 
sunday..  i am sick now.  kinzie seems to be the worst.  it's the sickest she's ever been.  i have never washed more puke covered things in my life.  the good news... larry's kidney pain seems to be getting better and better. 
monday..  we are feeling better.  all except kinz.  she looked like death until about 7pm.  she finally started to come around.  then sid poked her in the eye with a fork.  it's never ending i tell you...

not many pictures were taken this weekend, but here's the few that were. 

how we spent most of the weekend.  the outfit sid picked out by herself sunday.  the piece of toast i sat on. 

J'ai oublié mon pantalon!

after two years of french in high school i can only remember how to say two things; the title of this post which means "i forgot my pants."  and  "can i use the restroom?"

sid has never worn her pants at home.  kinz is now following, and i can't keep her pants on either.

i've always wanted..

a cute diaper bag.  but being cheap, i've always used the free ones they give out at the hospital.  the one i got with kinz is falling apart and i'll need a new one.  again, being cheap, i thought i'd wait and use the free one i'll get with the new baby.  then i found out the new one is a backpack style bag.  not very functional for every day use in my book.  i saw this bag on the gap website.  so cute, yet it doesn't scream diaper bag!  but being realistic... i'm too cheap to spend $50 on a gap bag!  

a rare occurrence

when they are this lovey dovey. 

maternity series - week 21

crafty crafts

we made heart shaped crayons for valentines day.

the card that didn't make the cut

this was suppose to be their valentines card, but it didn't turn out how i wanted...

i heart them

1001 rules for my unborn son

i love my girls.  there is nothing like having a little girl melt your heart.  but i have always wanted to be able to teach a little boy to always open doors for women, that the snow isn't going to shovel itself, and all the other manners a man should have. 

i have been eye balling this book for quite some time and finally have a reason to buy it.

advise in this book is appealling because it seems our culture is losing traditional standards of sensible behavior. 

snippets from the book:

- after lighting a firecracker, stand back.

- always stop at a lemonade stand.  tip well.

- the pleats on a cummerbund face up.

- at a ballpark, never start the wave.  but don't let it die. 

- no one wants to watch you practice the guitar.

- eat lunch with the new kid. 

- if you need music on the beach, you're missing the point. 

ten little fingers... ten little toes...

and oh he's gonna have one of those! 

the girls will have a baby brother to play with soon.  daddy is a tad on the excited side... i don't think the smile has come off his face since we found out.  we now have to fill the house with blue stuff.  i admit, the thought of shopping for a little boy will be a nice change. 

maternity series

i wanted to start this series when i first found out i was pregers.  but the nausea took the best of me and it didn't get started until this week.  the goal is to have a picture every week until i have the baby.   i have a broken tripod so sid helped take the pictures.  a tad on the burry side.  but hey, she's a beginner. 

v-day decorations

i need a new cheese grater now, but it was worth it.
