Finally calm

Regan giving Bridgette a ride in the basket!

After the very busy week, today was pretty calm. About 2p.m. Sean called me and informed me that he was going to the Buffalo Sabres game tonight with some guys from work. I was a little upset, but oh well, can't do much about it. I am now enjoying my quiet evening.

My birthday was yesterday and I guss it was an okay day. Nothing went right for me. regan was terrible and Bridgette was fussy because she has teeth coming through. Then Sean and I went to go out to dinner at one of my favorite places in Batavia and it was closed. We came home and Regan was still terrible. I ended up just going to bed and letting Sean deal with Regan.

Other than that, I hope everything calms down a little more. Maybe tommorrow will be better. I hope everyone has a safe and happy new year!

Happy Kids

We have had a busy couple days. On Christmas Eve my mom, and brother and his fiance came over to exchange gifts. We were very happy with what we got. Some of our favorites were my new camera and Regan got a new art center. On Christmas, Bridgette was wide awake at 5:45 so I took her out in the living room to play with some of her toys. Of course she went straight for the tree, so Sean and I decided to wake Regan up. I love the picture of her crawling away from the tree. She knew she was caught!

Hopefully today we will be heading to B-Spa, that is if Sean can get the blazer fixed in a decent time. If we can't leave by 1, then we probably are not going. We will see how it goes. I hope everyone had a good Christmas!!

Snow amounts

Yesterday school was closed again. I'm not surprised because we got about 10 inches of snow and other areas got more than that. Regan was upset about not having school. He was supposed to be Buddy Bear. He was over it as soon as he saw daddy outside plowing the driveway. Sean took the day off because he had to work on the Blazer once again. It took Sean 3 1/2 hours to plow our driveway and it isn't even that clean. People can at least get in and out though.

On Sunday we made a ham dinner and our neighbors came over for dinner. I gave Bridgette ham for the first time and she loved it. She screamed whenever her tray got empty. She was also happy to just play with the mashed potatos. Bridgette was so happy just being able to sit at the table like a big girl and eat big girl food. In the picture she is in the middle of screaming and her hair is sticking out like that because she put mashed potatos in it!.

If I don;t get back on here again before tommorrow. Have a Merry Christmas!!!!

I hate storms

I don't mind the snow but I hate the storms. On Friday we got 9inches in 6hrs. Not fun!! And Today we are supposed to get about 3 more inches, but then we are getting 5o mph winds. I guess the kids decided to play in the big box I got from Home and Garden. Regan wanted to go outside with daddy and play in the big snowpile that Sean made with his plow.

You can't really see his face to well because the snow is blowing into it. He had fun and that's all that mattered. I just hope that we don't get the huge storm that we are supposed to get on Christmas Eve. We are supposed to be driving to B-Spa on Christmas Day. I don't want to get stranded anywhere. I guess we will just wait and see what is going to happen.

When it rains, it pours

So last week I had all those problems with regan throwin tantrums everywhere. Saturday he woke up with a cold, on Sunday Bridgette woke up with one. Yesterday, Regan was upset because Grandma Irwin didn't have time to play with him after school because she had to work. He then started complaining that his ear hurt. I brushed it off thinking he wanted attention from Grandma. He didn't complain when I was in his class yesterday. Then last night he woke up screaming at 9 p.m. saying both his ears hurt really really bad. I looked at his right ear because the tube is still in that one.(the left one fell out about 3wks ago) His ear wasn't draining(a sure sign of infection) so I gave him some Motrin and he fell asleep and then he woke up screaming again at 5:30a.m. This time he had a fever, I gave him more motrin and he slept til about 7. When he got up the right ear was draining so bad I had to keep a cotton ball in it and it still leaked a little. I called the dr and we went at 10. Meanwhile, I am trying to hold him and catch Bridgette so I can get her dressed to get out the door.

At the dr's sure enough Regan has a double ear infection and he missed part of his field trip because of the dr's. I was able to get him to the pizza place in time to make his own pizza and eat with his friends. Before we went to the pizza place I took them to get his script filled and the whole time there all he did was scream that he was in pain. The whole store was looking at me and I felt like crying with him. As we were leaving some lady walked up to Regan and gave him a stuffed moose and told him to feel better soon. That made his day and of course he feels all better now and wants to go to school.

Moral of the story, if your kids tell you their ear hurts, take them to the dr's that day if possible. I am going to try and get some sleep tonight!

Regan update

Well since last week, Regan has been much better. I think that he just needed to get caught up on his sleep. Bridgette on the other hand has decided once again to wake up at midnight and stay awake until about 5 a.m. I wish that she would just pick on schedule and stay with it.

Regan has a field trip on Thursday. The class is going to a retirement facility and handing out Christmas cards and doing a little skit. Then they are going to a local pizza place to make their own pizza's. Regan is a little nervous about going on the bus by himself and going with another mom. He dosn't know any of the moms that are going on the trip. The only good thing is that they are going to Batavia which is only about 15 mins away.

This past weekend my brother, Verna and Kasey came over and helped Regan make Christmas cookies. I wanted to get pictures but of course I was trying to keep Bridgette away from everyone. Maybe we will make some again before Christmas.

What's going on with Regan???

Let's start with Friday. I took Regan to school and everythign was going well until Mrs. Jinks called him to get in line. He threw himself on me and Mrs. Jinks had to pull him off me and carry him to class. Then Monday night he did the same thing and Sean had to pry him off me and he also did it again on Tuesday at school. Mrs. Jinks again had to carry him to class. I have no idea what could be bothering him. It isn't the kids in his class because everyone plays together.

Look at this cute little face!! He looks so happy in this picture. Any ideas on what I could do?? I spent friday night and half of Sunday with just him. We went to Chuck-e-cheeses on Sunday for a b-day party and he was happy with that. I just don't know what else to do.

Dr's App't

Bridgette had her 9 mos well child check today. She now weighs 21 lbs and is 27 inches long. She is still above average for both height and weight. I can't believe how big she is getting. Now that she is on the move, I am hoping that she will slim down just a little bit. Regan also was at the dr's today. He had a nurse visit because he needed 3 shots. He was not happy and now is very whiny. He was fine in school but I think it is because he got to go "shopping" at Santa's Secret Shop.

This weekend Sean's brothers are coming out to go hunting. Lucky me getting stuck with 4 extra guys in my house. The testosterone is going to take over. Oh well, maybe I can go out with my brother Friday or Saturday night and leave the kids home with them!!
