It is another peaceful morning at our house...the boys are not up yet!! It is thundering pretty bad right now so I am just hoping that they are able to sleep through the whole storm and into the morning!! This has been a frequent wake up time (630am) but maybe not this morning....let's hope.
1. Getting out of the house
...and out of pajamas. Last Thursday Owen was diagnosed with Croup. It was actually a pretty scary experience because he suddenly woke up unable to breath and I (yes, a nurse) had absolutely no idea what was going on. He quickly calmed down and the emergency passed but the next morning we were in Kara's office. Since croup is contagious we have been home. Sad. At that time I also had Kara check out Cameron's lymph nodes. They have been swollen for an extremely long time. She sent us to get a CBC. It was clear. The best part of the whole thing....he never even flinched when they were taking his blood. Now, when his brother barely touches him Cameron will scream bloody murder. When a huge needle goes into his tiny arm...nothing. Today we are getting out of this lockdown. Period.
2. Pizza
On Friday evening I was close to losing my mind. Mat, who was in Palm Springs, had pizza delivered to the house. The fun only lasted 15 minutes but it was a wonderful treat. Thank you!!
The best part about this...the boys actually let me clean something while they entertained themselves (for the most part). The boys need to be able to see me to make their souls happy. When I walk into another room, 98% of the time...they follow. Yesterday morning started out just the same but something got into me and I started cleaning...for over an hour! I was frequently interrupted but it was amazing. I love my clean stove....now on to the microwave. Ha.

4. Words
These boys are talking nonstop. There are times when I actually have to ask them to stop talking. It is amazing how much they know and what they repeat. (Everything. They repeat EVERYTHING.)

5. CoOp
This morning I am going to tour a CoOp for the boys. It is a program where parents are part of the learning process. The boys will hopefully go twice a week for two hours each visit. As a parent I will participate a few times a month. Having two kids in the class it might be double. They will LOVE this. There is finger painting, sensory tables, other kids....lots of fun things to do. The boys are banging the doors down to play at the gym so I started looking for something else to get them involved. Hopefully the tour goes well and we can get started!
Side note: I am showered, blog done, and coffee almost finished....BOYS STILL ASLEEP. I guess now I will start with more cleaning.
