Stubborn Children

So I decided to brave the elements and take the kids apple picking by myself on Saturday before my brothers football game. My 2 sister-in-laws decided at the last minute to come also. Verna took Regan and Kasey and I took Bridgette. I don't know who had the worse time, because both of my kids are very stubborn. Verna tried to get regan to just pick apples, but they didn't look good to him, so we were there for about 2 hrs because he wasn't happy with the apples that Verna was showing him. Kasey was holding Bridgette and picked an apple to put in the bag and Bridgette grabbed it and had a death grip on it. We tried to take it away and she screamed. She even had to hold it on the tractor ride. I hope she enjoys apples that much when she gets older.

Yesterday Sean and I took the kids with my dad to Nunda, NY to the place where my grandfather was born. We took a walk in the woods. It was nice except for the fact that Bridgette gets really heavy in the front carrier. Sean decided to take Bridgette because he thought that I could keep up faster that way. But then of course regan decided that he was to tired to walk, so Sean had both kids. I wish I would've had my camera for a picture.

So this weekend is also going to be very busy. We are going to B-Spa and Whitehall for a b-day party for Sean's grandma. I am hoping that Sean will take a half day on friday so that we can leave as soon as we pick Regan up from school. Sean doesn't like to take time off so we will see how this weekend works out!

Another ear infection

Well last night was a very rough night. Bridgette was up from about 6p.m. til about 5 a.m. this morning. I only got about an hour of sleep. She has had a cold and would sleep for about 10 mins and then scream like someone was hurting her. I told Sean at about 11 that she had another ear infection and he didn;t believe me. Sure enough when I took her to the dr's this morning she has another infection in the right ear. regan always got infections in his left ear and now she gets them in her right. This is her 4th infection in 3 months. Instead of putting tubes in her ears they put her on a small antibiotic for the winter. It is a very very low dose and hopefully she won't get another infection. If she does, then she will definatly need tubes. Let's hope for the best!!

On the other hand, Regan is enjoying school and will be going on his first field trip on October 6th. His teacher is taking both the afternoon and morning class. I hope she takes a lot of Tylenol before she goes. lol I guess thats it for now. Wish me luck tonight with getting some sleep!!!!

Teething 4 yr old????

Okay so yesterday Regan spent the entire day with daddy. They went and got parts for a machine that Sean is fixing and then they went on a long hike in the woods, which regan walked the entire time. I thought everythingwas going good until about 11:30 last night. Regan woke up screaming that his teeth hurt. So I gave him some Ibuprofen and then he screamed that his legs hurt. I have no idea what is going on with him. He woke up all refreshed today like nothing even happened last night.

Bridgette on the other hand was also up most of the night with her daddy during the 70mph winds we had going on last night. The wind was so loud that neither one of them could sleep and Sean wanted to talk all night. I was so mad, I just wanted to sleep. Hopefully tonight will be a better night for everyone.

Mother Nature

Okay so I hate how mother nature has decided to make it cool all week and now has decided to be really muggy and humid. How am I supposed to get out cool clothes out when I just have to put them away again inone day. Sean is mad because I have clothes everywhere, but what am I supposed to do?

Anyways, the kids are doing great. Regan decided to get up at 4:30 this morning when Bridgette did, which was fine EXCEPT when Bridgette went right back to bed, Regan was WIDE awake complaining that none of him shows were on. Needless to say he was back in bed around 9 a.m. and I left for church with Bridgette. He seems happy now, but I think that its because he is now spending the day with daddy!

I think that is all I need to vent about right now. Here is the latest picture of the kids I just took the other day. Bridgette was giving regan hugs and everytime he would pull away, she would grab his shirt and pull him in again. It was to cute!

Stupid Weather!

So I really hate this time of year when it is warm one day and cold the next. Regan and Bridgette are both sick, Bridgette was up all night because she couldn't breathe. I love being able to wear a t-shirt and jeans outside and being comfortable, but hate having to deal with sick kids. I feel so bad for them because I can;t really do anything for them. Regan doesn't want to go to school today but I hate to have him miss a day of school within the first full week.

On another note. Regan keeps asking me when Daddy's birthday is because he knows that his isn't to far behind it. He really wants to have his family and friends over to have a "huge" party according to him. I just hope that his aunts and uncles can make it out for his party.

Bridgette is still growing like a weed. The last couple days for dinner she ate a whole jar of baby food. I guess she is making up for the 4 mos that she was 9lbs. Sorry I don't have any recent photos up yet, I am working on taking some more.

Regan and School

Well not to much is going on here lately. Regan is adjusting well to school, and I am very happy about that. Bridgette gets so excited when we go and pick him up. SHe starts to squeal the minute we walk into the school. It is so funny to see. Yesterday we came home from school and Regan played with Bridgette and then fell asleep on the floor while playing with her. I should've taken a picture of it. Yesterday Regan was the leader Bear in his class. That meant that he was leader in line and also Mrs. Jinks helper. It was fun he said. Today he had to bring in a teddy bear for teddy bear day. The teddy bears get to do everything the kids do. REgan had to put a diaper and clothes on his bear because it is cold out today. I am sure his teacher thinks it is funny, but it makes him happy.

Bridgette on the other hand is getting so strong. She will sit up by herself for about 10 mins before she realizes that she is doing it herself and decides to fall down. She loves to eat her vegetables. The last couple days she ate an entire jar of baby food. I couldn't believe it. She also enjoys her baby crackers that I found at Walmart. When we eat dinner it makes her feel like a big girl because she is eating next to Regan.

Well I am going to go enjoy my child-free evening. I had 2 teeth pulled today and my mom decided to keep the kids overnight for me. Thank you Mom!!!! Maybe I can finally catch up on my sleep that the kids keep depriving me of!

Hip Hip Hooray, My baby gained some weight!!!

First off I just want to say that I took Bridgette to the dr's today and she is now ABOVE Average for her WEIGHT!!! She is in the 66th percentile for weight. I was looking at Regan's records and he only weighed 14 lbs at this time. She is 16lbs 9oz. Needless to say, Bridgette gained about 6lbs in a month. The dr was very impressed and told us that we could start weaning her off of the nast nutramigen. I was very excited to hear that because that stuff stains our clothes and it stinks!

OKay to the good part now. Regan's first day of school was yesterday and he came home in tears because they don't have anywhere for him to lay down and take naps. I guess if that is least of my worries we are doing good. I forgot the camera yesterday, so I took this picture today of him. He was not happy to be leaving because my mom was here with him while I took Bridgette to the dr's and he didn';t want grandma to play with Bridgette without him. As we were walking out the door he said "Grandma don't play with Bridgette until I get back" He was not happy when he came home and grandma had gone to work without saying goodby to him.

I guess that's it for now. Hope you all enjoy my news!!!!!

End of summer

So now that summer is officially over, it is sad. This whole summer flew by, before you know it, Christmas is going to be here and then Bridgette's 1st b-day. I can;t believe it. This year has flown by completly.

Okay enough of that stuff. Regan starts school tommorrow so I will leave another blog tommorrow on how well that went. I haven't been able to get anyone to watch Bridgette while I drop him off like i wanted to, but Oh well, that is the least of my worry's. Regan is doing much better with number 2 on the potty. All last week he went in 5 different public places.

Last week we spent the whole week in Whitehall and the kids were ready togo by Thursday, but Sean insisted that we stay til Sunday. He paid for it yesterday because Regan was miserable and Bridgette was really fussy. It doesn't help that her first tooth is coming in already.

Other than that not much else is going on. Hope everyone enjoys this, not that you want to read about how Regan is doing with his potty training.
