Can't believe it's Friday!!!

Ok it's hard to believe that it is Friday right now. This week went by fast!!! It's been a wild week. :-) Let's see at the beginning N finally wrote his name correctly (with a bunch of practicing and erasing...loves the erase) so he got the remote control Lightning McQueen that we have been holding onto. I have already made a scrapbook page for it (minus the title) and wanted to post a picture of it but just have not had the time. Maybe tonight...we shall see.

Then we got E a flu shot on Tuesday and she did very well! Cried for like 15 secs and then that was it. Went and voted after dropping N off at school...wasn't bad for me. M went later after dinner (6:30pm) and did not get back until 8pm. Crazy!

Weds...can't even remember other then babysitting at the church and work. :-)

Thursday...wake up and N's eye looks a little red...just what I want. Go to parent/teacher conference at the private preschool and went very well. Come to find out that N isn't writing his name like we know he can. :-) Teacher was very excited about how much N is communicating and using words. Plus when he gets frustrated or doesn't know he goes and asks for help instead of pouting or hiding! yea!
Ran to Old Navy afterwards and found a new light weight jacket for N on clearance (all clearance was 50% off) for lik $2.50! Then a shirt for E, shirt for N, and a purse for S and all of it totally $10. I loved it!!! :-)
Then back for home and hanging out and taking naps. Even S took a nap. Oh also did figure out that N had pink eye!!! Luckily don't have to take him in to the dr just call and the nurse asks some questions and then calls in the prescription. Now giving N eye drops is another situation. :-( Got them in though.
5pm meet M at elementary school for that parent/teacher conference. Went very well! Teacher was surprised to hear that N can write his name. :-) Speech teacher is working on pronouns (for sentences about himself) and S sounds with him. Other then that he is doing great there! He interacts, uses his words, and loves it there and they love him.
Then S on to work and M back to the house with the kids for dinner and baths and bedtime. Guess that didn't go as smoothly as M would have liked. But N took his eye drops very well and just told M that he didn't like it. :-)

Friday - N took his eye medicine with a little bit of arguing about how he doesn't like it but he did it. Then grocery shopping this morning...now I remember why I try not to with two kids! LOL Finally home and unloading and doing some "errands" around the house.

Weekend - plan is S has to work tomorrow opening shift and then the rest of the weekend will be spent doing laundry and packing. Plus getting Christmas stuff down from the attic so we don't have to do it when we get back.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!! It sure got cold here this week plus we are to get more rain and snow in the mountains.

Fun times!

The first is not such a fun time. N and S are going this morning to get flu shots. Dr offices are right next door to each other. So far can't find a vaccine for E. M is getting his at work today (free). Wanted to get them all done atleast a week before we left for TN just in case someone has a reaction. E might have to wait until we get back...we shall see.

The second is that just bought tickets online for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra for Dec 8. Got the okay from the babysitter last night that she could watch the kids. So went on this morning and got seats. It should be fun! I love christmas shows an since this is a group that we have not seen before but always has interested me it should be tons of fun!

Have a good day!

Things to think about

Well yesterday and today I have been watching E a little closer. I noticed all of a sudden yesterday while I was drawing with her on the magna doodle that I am thinking she might be left handed. She had hold the pen very well with her left hand but I tried to hand it to her right hand and she didn't know what to do with it. She thought it was a game and funny. It will be fun and interesting if she is a lefty. We'll wait a little longer before totally deciding but you never know.

N went to the firestation with M on his field trip. He loved it. M said he got a little wild when another little boy did too but hey that's to be expected some of the time. But do have to say we wonder if all of a sudden we are going thru the terrible two's or something with him that we missed when he was two. There are days that I wonder if he even has ears (this is one of them), but then I know that this week he is super tired! Atleast this morning he slept until 6am. :-)

It always surprises me when going to the store how many people stop us and say "I just have to tell you how cute your kids are." I know they are cute and everything but it startles me that so many people think they are too.

Have a great Thursday evening! It's cold here and sprinkling on and off.

Halloween Pictures

Well last night was lots of fun! Nathan loved it! He wanted to keep going and going to all the houses. Ellie on the other hand was not too sure of it all. She hated her treat basket b/c it looks like a jack-o-lantern. She likes pumpkins but not if they are carved. LOL M carried her most of the way. It was fun to watch them. N zonked out 5 minutes after getting to bed...took a little longer for E.





Today they are playing in fireman costumes that I found at Target this morning for 50% off. I was trying to find costumes for dressing up. These were the only "simple" ones. They are having fun in them though and that is what counts! Today N gets to go to the fire station for a field trip with his preschool class. Siblings aren't allowed to go this year (too many of them), so M is coming home and taking N. E will stay home and take a nap and I will hopefully get some things done since I have to work tonight.
