Time Change

I HATE the time change. Both of mu kids have been getting up between 5 and 6. They normally sleep til about 7:30 ish. They are both going to bed around 6 now instead of 7. I try and keep them up so that they will sleep a little longer, but they are so miserable, I can't wait to put them to bed. Oh well, hopefully everthing will work out soon. Sean is going to have quite a problem tonight putting them down by himself. I start a new aerobics class tonight and he is going to be putting them to bed every monday and thursday for the next 10 weeks. He will finally get a dose of what I deal with every night. Can't wait to see how it goes. Anyone else having problems with the time change?????

Halloween

Regan woke up yesterday morning at 5 a.m and was singing It's my birthday continuosly for about 3 hrs straight. We then went to playgroup for their halloween/Regan b-day party. While we were there he was playing with a truck and it got stuck on the rug and he went flying forward and recieved rug burn on his forhead. It looks great with the huge bump from the car door last week. He then went to school were Daddy surprised him by coming to his class party. From there we went to my grandmother and my dads. He was completly miserable, I'm sure it had something to do with getting up at 5am.

After all of that running around, we went to our friends Pete and Jill's house and on the way there both kids decided to take a nap. I woke Regan up after an hour, we ate pizza and then went trick or treating. Regan did okay until the big kids and I mean Sean and the boys started silly stringing each other.

Overall it was a pretty good day for Regan. Hope everyone elses was uneventful!

Regan party

This past Saturday was Regan's birthday party. The day started out pretty rough. BRidgette woke everyone up at 6 a.m. Then I took the kids with me to the store and as Regan was walking up to the sidewalk he walked into the car door and had a huge bump on his head. He then complained of a headache all day. Nurse Wanda (my mom) looked at it and said that it would be a little sore, but that he would be okay! He was better after everyone started showing up with presents.

Bridgette was okay for the party. She was pretty miserable but I think the fact of when she went down for a nap there were only a few people here and when she woke up the house was packed with people she doesn't see very often, so she was very clingy to my brother. ( the only one that wasn't occupied with something)

Other than that not to much is going on. Regan has a pumpkin party on Thursday at school and then on Friday, I am bringing cookies to his class for his birthday. I can't believe he is going to be 4 already! so sad!

New camera

This year for x-mas I have decided that I want a new camera. My mom asked me what kind I wanted and I have no idea. Anyone have any idea on what kind I should get or what to look for when I am looking?

Both kids are still pretty sick, Regan is getting better, Bridgette still sounds yucky. I hope they are better by Saturday for Regan's party. Regan can't wait for all of his cousins to come and play at his house for once.

Not much else is going on, here is a picture of Bridgette on Regans tractor. Regan is giving her a ride.

It's just the beginning

The kids and I have been to the dr's 3 times in a week. It started out with Bridgette and a cough, then Bridgette with wheezing, and then finally we went again yesterday for both of them. The final diagnosis, Bridgette has bronchitus and Regan's asthma is acting up. Both kids need to have nebulizer treatments now and we need to have the cool mist humidifier on from now until spring. This is only the beginning of cold and flu season.

This time of year is also my favorite time, it is cool enough to go out for walks and you don't sweat like crazy, I also am in the mood to start x-mas shopping although I should probly wait for Regan's party to see what he gets.

I am upset that I won't be going to shopping weekend this year. I really look forward to it every year and now I have nothing to look forward to. I guess I will have to try and make my own shopping weekend without kids.

Field trip

Regan and I went on his class field trip yesterday. It wasn't that bad. All of the BAD kids (as Regan calls them) were either with a teacher or their mother. It was a very short trip which was also very nice. We were split into 2 groups. One group went on the wagon ride and picked apples and the other looked around the store and asked questions. After that we went to the county park and had lunch and let the kids run around on the playground. Overall, it was a good experience and I guess I would be a parent helper again.

Bridgette has got a nasty cough. She doesn't have any other symtoms, except yesterday she was coughing stuff up so I took her to the dr's. The dr suggest I put her back on the Nutramigen formula for a couple days to see if it is the formula, but she also gave me stuff for Regan's nebulizer to give her treatments. so we will see. Bridgette also was weighed and now weighs 18.7lbs. She gained 3lbs in 4 wks. she made us worry for nothing. What a little stinker!

The picture is of Regan and his best friend Natalie at the park yesterday!

Busy Busy

Well I also just realized that we have something going on every weekend until at least Thanksgiving and probly even after that to. Starting tonight, I have to go get fitted for a dress for one of the wedding's that I am in this summer. Then on Saturday I have a b-day party, next Saturday another b-day party and then my brother's playoff football game. The 18th I believe Janice and Mike come out, the 25th is Regan's party and then his b-day. What a crazy month!!!!!

On another note, on Monday I will be a parent helper for Regan's field trip to the apple farm. I don't know what I was thinking signing up to be a helper. I will make sure to have lots and lots of Ibuprofen. lol

Bridgette is doing well, growing like a weed. She keeps growing out of her clothes. Everytime I buy her a new outfit in the next size up, she wears it once and then I have to put it in the to small pile. Very frustrating. Very happy that she is finally where she should be for her age, but also frustrating. Oh well, I guess I should be happy where she is.
