Ok I am so tired tonight. N has been fighting a cold for just a couple of days but the cough got worse and then I worried about his asthma. So took him to the dr yesterday instead of school. Come to find out his asthma is bugging him a tiny bit but he has the croup on top of it. So yesterday starting at about 6pm he had to take his machine every 4 hours with albuetrol (so guess who was setting her alarm), plus he has a cough med for night to help him get some sleep and then a one time med for the croup. Last night he seemed to be sleeping well atleast when I would be in there. Then both kids slept until 7:15am this morning!!! That is a record in this household. LOL And at first it seemed like he had gotten plenty of sleep. But then about an hour later he started getting the dark circles under his eyes plus a little bit of redness. So here is hoping tonight is better now that we have been doing meds for a full 24 hrs now. Tonight I luckily only have to do it every 6 hrs. But then if I do that then that is midnight and 6am...so I might do midnight and then 4am so he will sleep some extra and not want to get up at 6am when I do the meds...we shall see how it goes.
I am really looking forward to the weekend since I don't have to work Saturday or Sunday just Friday night until midnight. This way I get to take a nap with the kids and catch up on sleep. Plus we as a family get the whole weekend together!
Have a great end of the week!

Where does time go???
Ok I would like to know where the time goes by so fast some days! I feel like I never get done everything I want to get done. I am just glad I get to stay home all evening/night after picking up N from preschool....which is in a few minutes. Plus I finally get to watch my favorite show CSI!!! I missed it last week b/c I was working. Monday and Thursday nights I love to watch tv. Lately just have not gotten that chance. This week I will be home for Monday but not for Thursday. :-( Oh well atleast I get Saturday and Sunday home all day to be with my family and finish up Christmas projects.
Have a great Monday!
Have a great Monday!

Christmas Kids Party & Santa
Well last night we went to M's work Children's Christmas party. We went last year but E couldn't do much. Anyways, we always get there right when they open, other wise there are tons of people by the end of the night. We usually only stay an hour. We went straight to the Santa Claus line and got in fast. N walked right up and gave Santa a hug and then sat on his lap and told him what he wanted. E would sit next to him on my leg but wouldn't touch him or talk to him. The picture we got didn't turn out the greatest (poloraid) but hey it's a picture. Anyways, the kids had fun playing the games. N loved all the bounce houses, huge slides, and climbing stuff. E liked playing the games like toss the ball and such. Neither one wanted to leave but they didn't throw fits about it so that was nice.
We figured out that we missed the Kuna santa this year. It was the weekend that M was gone. So we didn't get a picture with the Santa we always have since the yr N was born. :-( So we shall see if we find another Santa that we like to have their pictures taken with.
It's fun to hear N and E talk about Christmas, giving, sharing and baby Jesus. It is all a mixture of the fun.
N is loving the tree but not happy that mommy is not tall enough to stick the star on. But it will be on with all the decorations by Sunday...atleast that is the goal.
Stay warm everyone!

Ear & Sleep Update
Well yesterday we went and saw the ENT here that I love! I am so glad that we found her thru recommendations from friends. Like I was telling my sister yesterday we have got some awesome drs here and I am so thankful for that! Anyways, E's tubes are looking like they will most likely be gone by the beginning of summer. So, we don't have to go back until then unless she starts complaining about her ears. Then she said it's great that we went to the speech therapist and had E tested. Everything looks great.
I then asked her about N and his always having dark circles under his eyes no matter what time he goes to bed and other things. Plus back in June his regular dr said his aenoids were a tadbit swollen and that we should watch him and see if it's allergies or what. Well now that it is winter it can't be allergies. Plus it seems to gradually be getting worse. We have always noticed that his has an irregular breathing pattern when he sleeps but has never snored loudly. Anyways, she looked at his tonsils really quick and they are a +2/+3. So not too bad but need to have him checked out. He has an appt on the 15th and we shall go from there. Hopefully we shall find a way to get him sleeping better so there are no dark circles and no grumpiness from tiredness.
We got our Christmas tree in the mail yesterday and started putting it together. Will finish today. Everyone is excited but N is especially. Yesterday while we were out at the dr appt I said ok time to go home and see if the tree got there yet. He got all excited and said yea a Christmas tree then time for presents. :-) I told him um no we put the presents under the tree and then on Christmas day we open presents. He thought for a minute and said ohhh sorry mommy. LOL I don't think we will put very many gifts under the tree though...don't want to be rewrapping once again. :-)

Weekend Fun
Well we are home for the weekend kids and I by ourselves. M took off yesterday for the mountains with some friends. Yesterday afternoon during E napping and N at school I wrapped the christmas presents I had laying around hidden since our tree will be here Monday (got a fake w/multi colored light finally). Anyways, the kids and I talked about how we don't touch them until Christmas. Then last night the kids and I watched Polar Express before bed. They loved it again this year.
Well come this morning and N wakes me up with something about the dog. Well he had of course woken up his sister at some point too. Well come out to the living room and N is telling me there is no black helicopter (something Santa is bringing him) to find the presents have mostly been torn open. I can guess that N was the instigator since E does not totally understand everything. So into time out and I am telling them maybe I need to take all the presents back to the store! Then N says where did the superman go (from Aunt L)...ugh! So here is guessing that we will need to keep the presents up on top of the entertainment center again (just like last year)...thought N was old enough this year. E could care less. So tonight I will spend it rewrapping everything.
So here is for a good rest of the weekend. The kids and I are hoping to get out all the Christmas decorations except for the tree stuff. So that will be nice.
Have a good weekend.

TN Trip
Hi Everyone! Been a long time since posting. A lot has happened. We went on our TN trip and got back this last week. Now this weekend M is gone up at the mountains with some other guys relaxing and playing computer games. He will be back Sunday evening.
Trip to TN was fun once we got there. We had a not fun trip on the way out just b/c they turned our first plane around for landing gear stuck...could have kept going (since they took the plane there anyways) and saved tons of people lots of hassle!!! Anyways, Delta wouldn't let us take a plane the next day on a different airline even though the people at the beginning of the line (stood in line for almost 2 hours to get rerouted...while M got bags from the carousel) were being routed to different airlines b/c Delta didn't have openings. Anyways, by the time we got up there they had opened a flight to Salt Lake for a majority of people and it was leaving in 30 minutes. So took them forever to get our flights straightened out. We were going to Salt Lake City (30 min layover), going to Atlanta (40 min layover) and then on to Nashville (arriving at 10:15p their time). Well lets just say nothing worked out right. First flight delayed by 15 minutes...ran for the next flight to find out it was delayed. We were delayed for an hour. Plus our seats got messed up on that fl
ight!!! Got to Atlanta 10 min before the next flight. Thought ok it's just 4 gates down we can make it. Well got to the gate and it was not there. Went back and talked to the guy at the gate we came in. To be told we would have to take the 7:45am flight. NOT HAPPY!!! Then we went back out thru security to see if we could get a rental (M had his gps and it was only like a 3.5 hour trip). No rentals available...guess there were tons of problems at the Atlanta airport that day. So go to the front d
esk deciding they need to do something!!! Well the guy there was the first nice guy we got all day. He tried hard to get us a hotel room but nothing. Then his manager came over and was doing something. Got us onto the 7:45am flight and handed us two blankets and three bags (toothbrush, comb, etc). Didn't even think about not getting 4 blankets b/c Ellie was crying and tired at this point. N was doing good except for all he carried about was making sure we were going to see Nana and Papa. So we head back to the security to go thru to find out that we have to wait another 30 min b/c it is not midnight and our plane leaves in the morning. Only night flight people are allowed before midnight. Of course no seats available and except for in a little restaurant so get N something to drink and eat...E is asleep by this time. So come midnight we go thru with E screaming b/c we had to wake her up. Only one other person going thru at the time. Go find our gate (it's down some stairs) and get all settled in (it was a nice quiet place and had the kids settled down and hoping they would fall asleep) and someone coming in from a flight sets the alarm off on the door. Finally somone comes to turn it off (20 min later) and we are told that we are not allowed down there b/c of security (no signs anywhere). Matt made a comment and then we headed back upstairs. Found a spot...but not really comfortable and noise all around from workers working on the airport. Another lady showed up from the same flight as us and we got to talking after the kids finally fell asleep. She had gotten to the gate and at the time it had said the flight was leaving at 10:10p and it was 10p and the plane was gone. So Delta took off earlier then they said they would. Not happy. Well come morning (long time) and we finally get on the plane with about 7 other people that were stranded there too. Just to be delayed 20 min more. We finally made it to Nashville and the kids were so happy to see Papa and Nana. So were we!
Had a great time in TN with Aunt, Papa and Nana. The kids were spoiled. M and I were too b/c we got to sleep some. :-) Thanks Papa for being an early riser. I will have to send out pictures to everyone from the trip since there are many good ones.
Our trip was much better (flew Northwest). We got delayed in Minneapolis but not badly and we got in at 12:30 am instead of 11:30pm. Then got our bags to find out mine got left in Minneapolis but they would deliver it to the house by evening that day. So didn't mind since I didn't have to come back to the airport. So off we go to find our car. Find it and get everyone loaded up and stuff in. Head home. Got home, unloaded, and kids into pjs and then into bed. We were in bed by 2:30am.
We are glad to be home safely and M says we aren't flying with kids until they are 10. :-P
