Pictures...

To my faithful readers who requested pictures...Here they are. I have also put on some of things I have made with my new cricut....LOVE it. I am home again with sick kids (yesterday was Cory's day to stay home) Jordan is throwing up today and yesterday Carson was. What fun we are having..... I also want to mention to my sister Roxanne that I am finally reading "My Sisters Keeper". So far I am really liking it. I accidentally posted one picture of my hair...and for some reason I have no ideal how to delete it So enjoy the pictures....:) And yes...I did take the picture of my hair while I was driving...I was stopped at the red light....I am so multi task able....

Finally....back to normal

We are FINALLY back to normal in our house. The kids have been sick for so long. Cory and I keep taking turns staying home with them. I finally took Carson into the doctor and he has an ear infection, so he is taking an antibiotic and is really starting to feel better. FINALLY....did I mention that I am tired of our kids being sick...... one day they were being very sweet and sitting in my bed watching a movie and I snuck in and took a picture. Love those kids...even if they are ALWAYS sick.

What else? I think that is all that is going on lately. We did get Carson the train table we had been talking about since before Christmas. He loves it (so does Jordan which cause several fights a day). Jordan has given up the sippy cup and for that we got her a truck and trailer for all her horses. She loves it..(and so does Carson....which again causes several fights and hair pulling..his new weapon of choice....a day. Very relaxing for mom..... Now our living room is totally taken over by toys. It looks like a day care gone bad. Very stressful sometimes, but I keep trying to remember that some day that they will be grown up and moved away and I will miss this mess. Right now we just walk around things and over things.

I went out of town with some girlfriends and spent the weekend scrap booking. It was so nice to get away. I came back and got my hair cut. I am not really sure I like it, but I am going to see how it works out. I also bought a Cricut scrapbook cutting machine, LOVE IT....I bought Jordan some glue and scissors so she can play and do crafts at the same time as me. She is having a great time. And I get to use my machine and she leaves me alone (most of the time anyway).

Since I got something it was only fair that Cory bought something. He has been needing new motorcycle riding gear, so one day when he was home with the sick kids, he ordered a new outfit and when it came in he was like a kid with a new outfit. He wore the outfit around and even let me take his picture. He looked very cute.

Update of Princess Jordan's room

Jordan's room is really starting to look like a big girls room. Cory bought her a frame for her bed, he also put in a nightstand we weren't using, I bought her Another early birthday present...a lamp and I did a rub on word that says princess on the wall. She loves her room and has been in it most of the day...hey..this new room is working out well for me too.... She was watching a movie and Carson got his cup of juice and went and sat on the rocking chair in her room for almost an hour of wonderful quiet time....Cory and I actually carried on an entire grownup conversation without interuption...It was a very beautiful moment....

We painted Jordan's room

Well, Jordan has been wanting a new big girl horse room. I ordered her the border paper she wanted for her birthday (thinking it would take forever) but it got her very quickly. Well, anyone who knows me knows I don't and really can't wait for things. So I bought the paint and Laura came over and helped me. We did it pretty quickly, and Jordan loves it.....

We also went to another swim class tonight. Carson loves it. He went down the slide and went way under water but came up smiling the entire time. Jordan was more afraid this time, but started to warm up to the teacher right when the class was over. She just needs to keep going. Carson is not going to have any trouble at all. We don't care if Jordan swims again, we just don't want her to be so afraid of the water and if she does fall inshe will know what to do. (they actually teach them that...they call it the humpty dumpty). I am sure she will thank us when she is older.

Our VERY busy day

I had today off and had thoughts of taking the kids to day care and having the entire day to myself. Cory made me feel guilty , so i did not take them. I thought they might have slept in...NONONON. We woke up early, ate breakfast and then headed out. Went to Jill's office and finally gave her her Christmas present (better late than never). Then went to the grocery store to order Jordan's cake (they were almost out of the Island princess decorations she wanted.. they said it wasn't to early to order for March) then shopped for a few things then went to get Carson hair cut. He wasn't in the mood and almost cried the entire time. He sat still but tears ran down his face. Then came home had a snack and went to look around the place Jordan was going to take swim lessons. Then went to target because she needs a new bathing suit, she outgrew last years. The swim teacher was going to eval her at 2:45. So we went home ate lunch and then took a short nap. Back to the swimming place for the eval. Both kids did awesome. Went by Jill's office and dropped off her birthday present. Then came home and relaxed for awhile before we went back to Jordan's 6:00 class. She was so scared, but did pretty good. Then we got dinner at Del Taco and came home. Both kids have had a bath, dishes are done and clothes are washing. I AM DONE. I can't wait to go back to work so I can relax a little. What a busy day.

My sweet kids

I love days when my kids are being sweet....Jordan was watching a movie in her room and she actually let Carson come in and sit and watch with her. They were being really sweet. I also had to take a picture of Carson wearing his monkey slippers. Laura bought him them for Christmas and he plays with them but this is the first time is has actually put them on and worn them. He looked so cute, I had to take a picture. That made Jordan want her picture taken so she ran into her room and got all dressed up and posed for some pictures. She is such a funny girl. We also went to the Family Fun center here in town today and now Jordan wants her party there. Both kids had a great time in the balls and Jordan loved climbing around in the tower thing. Carson just loved running around looking at all the games. Cory was playing pin ball. I wanted us to take a family picture in that little booth, but as a went to get change for the machine, Carson fell and hit his face and won't stop crying. But finally he got over it and went back to play. But then we tried again to take another picture but everyone was tired and Jordan was sweating like a pig. So maybe next time.

Our fun day

One of the girls I work with told me about this place that kids can go and play. It is called a kids hands on museum. I decided to try it out and the kids and I went today. THEY LOVED IT.....It was so much fun for them. There were soooo many things for them them to play with. Jordan wants to have her birthday party there. I am planning her party there now. I even had fun there. I really can't believe all the stuff they had. SO we left the house and went there this morning and then went to McDonalds and got chicken nuggetts and went home and played and then took a long nap. We actually had a normal and fun day.
