Memories

Go here if you want to have an '80s flashback!!

Thanks Grammy!!!

Gabe went to Austin yesterday for an interview with the Seton Hospital Systems. It went very well and we should hear something before Christmas. He stopped by his mom's on the way back home to visit for a moment and came home with a "Hide and Seek Combo". It is MASSIVE...I had to rearrange the furniture (the love seat is not blocking the fireplace and the chair is up against the wall.), but they sure are having fun!! Thanks Grammy for such fun and cool gift.

Sacrifice

So, I don't know about you, but in this lovely, cramped, 2 bdrm apt, I find deep cleaning and cleaning in general sometimes, a VERY big feat to tackle. In order for my living room to get to this phase and look like this for a bit.... I must do this to my children.....
Yes, they are locked in their room via a gate. I sacrifice their room to get the rest of the apartment to look some what livable again. They will last for an hour (maybe), but when it goes onto the second hour there is begging, meltdowns, and arguing. I know it is a hard thing to listen to, but I must clean, especially after everyone had a bit of a tummy something last weekend.

He keeps me on my toes....

Wow, I knew that raising a boy was going to be different, but I guess I didn't realize that there were going to be days where I just couldn't keep up with him!!! There are so many differences between Perryn and Teagan and one of the biggest ones is NO FEAR. He is precious and I love him to death, and sometimes I wonder when we will be making our first trip to the ER for stitches, a CT scan, an MRI, or something....Here is a picture of my beloved son the way he is everyday.......very laid back.
Here's where I found him AFTER bath time on Friday night. We had moved into the Living room to get dried off and lotioned up....he was first, Perryn was second. I came to put the towels back on the racks and found this....YES HE IS IN THE SINK!!!!! Got there all by himself.
And then here he is singing and dancing....The first time for the singing...

Feeling silly and we have a 'bug'

So, we have joined a new gym, LA Fitness, it is much closer and not so busy like LTF. Although, I LOVE LTF, we have officially parted ways. So, at LAF, they have a hip hop dance class. I have NEVER taken one dance lesson. As long as we were going VERY slow, I kept up and could do the dance moves, but as soon as we went to the tempo of the music, I looked like a flailing something or other. I am sore though, which means I will be really sore tomorrow. But I had SO MUCH fun, LAUGHING at myself that I came away from the class much less stressed. Woohoo, it did it's job. I can't wait to go back next Friday night....what's a happily married woman of 2 supposed to do on a Friday night when her husband is working....now it's Hip Hop class.

It seems we have a bug at our house to top off our Friday night. Teagan has had some not so nice diapers and a bit of the snuggle bug this morning. Didn't want me to do anything else but sit in the recliner and rock....lasted a good 10 min if I count all the time together. Perryn didn't eat supper and was very whiney this evening, so she went to bed early. Gabe wasn't home more than 20 min when we heard the blood curdling scream....he went to check on her....she had puked. ICKY...I am SO glad he is in the medical field, because he gets to clean it. We had to run the wet vac at 11:30 due to the amount...sorry tmi.

Please pray for our sickly family. That whatever this bug is won't last. I have to make a cake for Sunday, so I will be scrubbing this place down, top to bottom tomorrow....bad for business, or I will see what I can do to find an alternative place to make my cake. Night.

I can't seem to get the paragraphs to separate....anybody know why??
