Thursday

Which means spring break is almost over. Between the cold snow and rain we've had what one nice day? Took big boy to the dentist Tuesday where I learned he has three new cavities, two in permanent teeth, crist he only HAS 2 permanent teeth. Oh yeah and they said his mouth is crowded and we'll be looking at orthodontia in a few years. GREAT! Although honestly how they can tell with only two permanent teeth in that he's going to need braces I don't know. $$$$ I think that might be what's going through their minds. Today we go to get those cavities filled. Ick.

Easter was fairly uneventful, gave candy, went to dinner came home. We colored eggs Saturday. Really Easter is not my favorite holiday, I'm not religious and I hate having a house full of candy.

As it turns out we're going downhill money wise again, they increased our house taxes by $110 a few months ago and it's hurting. What does this mean? In June I'm going to apply back up at Target. God that makes my stomach turn to even think about it. I can only work 4 hr shifts with nursing for awhile which means I'll be making very little, but it will help. The other option is to have J get a second job and well we've lived like that before and it sucked for everyone. I'd rather switch shifts.

So because of my impending employment there is a huge list of things I need to get done in terms of organizing this house, sewing projects and knitting stuff before June.

~Late next month Trent is moving to his own room. It will be time then, and quite frankly I'm sick of getting dressed in two different places, and I want J back in my bed (he does not sleep with us because of co sleeping and we have a small bed and he's a heavy sleeper unsafe in both of our opinions).
~organize the closets, all of them need overhaul.
~Sewing projects: two skirts for me, shopping cart cover, blankie and boppy cover
~Knitting projects: Trenty's turtle, and Xander's gingerbread man.

That's enough eh?

It's monday.

I realized yesterday I have one giant child and one tiny one. I know you're thinking 'of course you do, you have a 6yo and a 2month old!' but no the 6 yo is tiny the 2 month old is a monster. I took some impromptu pics of the boys yesterday. Here Xander is struggling to hold up his brother's gigantic noggin:



You can see the look on his face, 'moom my aaarm'

Somewhere the gene pool went good because these are some cute guys:





I tried in vain to find the photo albums of my baby pictures since I've been told a few times that the baby looks like me. I thought I gave them to my dad, but he can't find them, I poked a few boxes in the basement and something made a noise (one of Xander's old toys? I hope...) and creeped me out so that search was over. They've got to be somewhere, I'll be sick if they're gone. There were pics of my mom in there.

This weekend I bought a lamp, bought hair dye to hide the pocket of gray on my head that I just can't take anymore, watched 12 episodes of the first season of Lost, and made a ham.

I swear I had more to say but I just can't think of it.

Ugh miserable.

Who's sick of winter raise your hand? My lovely older child passed on a cold to my younger child and then in turn passed it on to me. I'm thinking of canceling my eye appt. because the thought of someone poking my eyes right now with this sinus headache makes me want to vomit. I also spewed up something that was not only chunky but a little bloody.

Baby boy had his shots yesterday so not only is he snotty he's also feeling otherwise icky, blech. The good news is that he's doing well 12lbs 6oz (we're close to doubling birthweight already!) and 23 inches long, he's short and fat lol. I got the zantac, I figure it can't hurt to try. I've tried dairy free and he seemed to puke more strangely enough so I'm fairly sure it's not diet related. It's up and down we have good days and we have days where I'm changing clothes all day.

While for the most part I like my Ped, she's very mainstream. I'm mainstream in a lot of respects too, I do get all the vaccinations on time and all of that jazz, but I am breastfeeding, and co sleeping. She suggested starting cereal at 4 months, yeah no thank you. I'm not planning on cereal at all this time, btdt with big kid and all it did was frustrate me and make a huge mess. She mentioned that 'breastfeeders often start later' I had no clue we were a cult! Seriously weird thing to say. I've also discontinued his vitamins which I'm pretty sure made him puke more and made his poop icky. And the whole 'if they're not drinking 17oz of formula you must give them vitamins' thing is silly too IMO. Like I said overall she's okay, but I definitely do not agree with everything she says, and that goes for all dr.s I've seen over time.

Big kid finally showed some sibling rivalry, but it was more directed at me than the baby. Apparently I'm NEVER EVER nice to him but I'm always nice to Trent. This came after the very minor punishment of having to turn the Wii off at 6 and read quietly in his room for getting into trouble at school. Oh the horror! We're starting spring break in a week. I swear they haven't been in school a full week since going back from Christmas break. And apparently they have one day to make up this summer for snow days BOOOOO! There shouldn't have even been a snowday on Monday, everything was cleaned up after the storm, crazy.

and of course can't leave without pictues:



Chunky monkey in a wonderwrap.



Cute smile <3.

Time to finish washing diapers and get on with my day.

warm. No, ice storm. No, snow....

This is like the 5th snow day they've had off since January, might even be the 6th I have not kept track. The ice storm last night quite frankly sucked balls, plus it was voting day for the primaries, we slid our asses up there though.

Big kid for the first time received straight As (okay Es same diff) on his progress report <3. Craftay Blahg in a few.

And I will leave you with Trenty ready to knock you out (on his changing table of course, with his new sock dino made for me by the talented Fibergoddess Venus.
