Teething

What a horable part of being a baby. Teething is it rougher on the parents and silblens or the baby. Regan is an awesome baby but a very cranky teeter but who can blame her. As with all baby we have gone the long road on what she likes and does not. A carrot out of the fridge will stop the crying every time she just love it. Not to mention how cute it looks.

Who said saturdays were eazy!

Well as normal in our house today was crazy. We are off to gymnastics in the am for A & S then back home to rest (in our dreams). You know your day is going to be bad when you and your hubby both get up in a bad mood. I think all 5 of us was just in a "mood".

Some Friends of ours came over in the afternoon, it has been so long, it was great to visit with them and hang out with there little boy. It was the 2nd time they had seen Regan he works in the hospital I delivered in so he came up to see us the day we checked out. Tomorrow will be better or some one will be in jail. : )

The Sun!

Ahh the sun. This is the view from our front door. you have to over look all the stuff. It was so nice to see the sun today although is was single digits most of the day. Sheriden said it was summer so she was sad when i reminded her that she could not wear short outside today. I'm such a mean mama!

Mess!!!

I have a box of all the party stuff I have silly string, streamers, balloons, and so on. Rob was putting away the Christmas stuff and left this box out in the playroom. This was several days ago, but today was the day was going to tackle it.....Down I went with Regan Can you find her?

so a full bag of trash stuffed and 2 hours later all but one spot is clean.

Now at 9:30 at night check the time on the oven. i making cookies for Aiden's snack day tomorrow. I take my 9 mo old today to the drs. for a check up tomorrow as well, What a busy day it is shaping up to be.

storm

Last night I sat on the couch watching HGTV and played around with my storm. I can't think of the last time I just lounged in front of the TV Trying to figure out all the cool things it has and finding games on it. We upgraded to this so I could have my calender and contact information all in one place and with me all the time. It has been great for the calender I love it. A great mommy tool for sure. I can't imagine not having it.

Things

Sitting here this evening next to the fire, I remember a sign I seen today. I was on my way back from a friends house.

"The most important thing are not things"

So true...what is important? Today it was the nice time we had playing and spending time Grandma and Grandpa. At the end of the day memories are the only thing that is our very own. Everyone will enjoy an experience differently and take different memories away from it. Today watching my kids enjoy their grandparents was great for me, I'm sure the kids remember a much different thing, Sheriden taking grandpa's M & M, Aiden flying his helicopter, To each his own.

I know heavy but really think about it....

The joys of having 3

I'm so happy that my kids can enjoy each other.

Rob and I just enjoyed wathcing them enjoy each other.

babywearing

Im in love again. We are the proud owners of a BECO Butterfly. LOVE it. It is considered a soft structure carrier. sort of like a framed backpack. (we have one of those as well) This carrier you can wear a baby on the front or back (like a backpack). I love this because unlike the framed carrier you can feel the baby right on your back and she can feel me, she does not sit up high like in the frame carrier i have and I can bend over and she does not fall out. I love this this. don't get me wrong I still use the sling but I went grocery shopping with this carrier and I really had my hands free and she was safe and sound. Check it out....Baby Snazz it is were i got it.

ahh another day done!

Just another day in our home. Busy, Busy....

get Aiden off to school, make a few phone calls, pack Regan's stuff,

take the girls to my gym, back home for lunch, clean the master bedroom,

pick up kids from school, get Aiden and Sheriden to ice skating,

back home for dinner and then begin bed time for all..

Well almost all...

Mommy and Daddy left with a days worth of kitchen mess.

Complete with dog debris on the floor.

Man what a mess, I was so happy the dish washer was empty.

Now if I can get a few hours shut eye I will be doing good.

Aiden's morning clock

just like every house ours you here Aiden you need to... about 100 time on morning that there are school. Here is my solution. "Aiden's AM School Clock" I took the face of the clock and scanned it, then used my scrap booking software to put the translucent pie shaped colors on it then printed it out on Card stock, cut, then reassembled. Now I just leave it up to him, no more nagging just hay did you see your clock? It is a great visual reminder and if he is ready early or when the clock is on the white he can have free time.

In case you wanted to know.

Orange: breakfast

Blue: up stairs stuff, making bed, dressed and teeth

Green: go stuff, shoes, coat, and backpack

White: free time

I love this, I will keep you posted about how it works out long term.

You would never do this with your 1st. child.

This was fun we went took Regan for a slead ride down our road she love it just rode along. So on the way back we let the kids help out. they were fighting over her. Rob had to chase Sheriden down to retreave Regan.

You can see it was a beautiful winter day. I'm gald we got out and enjoyed the day.

Christmas Clean up

Today was clean up and put away day. I took a few photos of the hand made ornament for ideas as you can never find the right box in November when you are planning.
But...
To sum up Christmas WOW. three little ones make it very exciting. Reindeer food, milk and cookies for Santa, Santa tracking. I think our tree was great. You will not rob standing with the lantern, Our power went out on Christmas eve from about 10ish till 3:30. It was hard to get ready for the big day by candle light. I hope you all had a good holiday and I hope to see you soon.
