Making Cupcakes...

Stay Tuned for Episode 2... the massive cupcake bomb.... :o) We had a good time making them, even if I don't like cake and she only licks off the frosting...

October!

Tom thought that my blog looked lonely. I did try to get back in here to write but of course when I did Blogger was down. It's tough to have time to sit down and think... usually if I'm sitting still long enough I'm sleeping.

So Updates:

Abby's surgery went well, she did have her adenoids out and they are continuing to bother her. They said it may take up to 14 days for her to truly feel better. We got to the surgical hospital at 6:30 am... we left at 1pm. It was a long long long day. I bought Abby a princess doll and that was a huge hit, she played with that for a long time. The Child Life Specialist was really good and tried hard to keep Abby happy. Of course just before surgery Abby decided that she was absolutely not going to wear her gown top. After fighting with her for a bit to keep it on we gave up. But at some point I hid her pajama top in my surgical attire or space man suit... which wouldn't have been such a big deal but after coming back from them putting her to sleep... I threw away the space man suit. Thankfully I remembered later and only had to do a little digging to get the shirt back out. UGH! She was absolutely miserable when she came out of surgery. And did I mention how hard it is to hold your child when they fall asleep under anesthesia? Even if it is a simple procedure... still hard. When they came back to get me they were taking her to Peds... to which I was like... what? What I think happened is that she was so upset that I wasn't there when she woke up she was making herself sick. Her blood pressure was all over and she was vomiting. After "mommy hold you" she calmed down some and actually slept a little on my shoulder. When she woke up again all she wanted to do was go home... she was too out of it to walk out but she was trying with all her might to get me out of the door even if she couldn't stand. We had to wait a little longer because she was on a stronger pain med since the Tylenol wasn't helping her out at all. My poor baby. I sure hope this helps her out...

We had a recheck and so far all the girl's ears look good. I know how quickly that can change but wow... wouldn't it be nice if we got a break from ear infections for awhile? I think we have had our fair share.

Kiley is so cute.... she says 'uh oh' now.... and of course I love to have her do it so the catch phrase around here is 'uh oh'....

Kara is just moments from taking her first steps. She is getting braver and braver and more steady on her feet. It is amazing how quickly they figure that out. They are both teething right now so that makes it really hard to get sleep at night and they are super cranky. Thankfully tonight they were having a good time with each other! They are both obsessed with climbing up stairs or anything for that matter. They love climbing on chairs and standing on top of them too. It is getting harder and harder to keep track of everyone. 

I updated my childproofing... Abby has figured out how to climb from the toilet onto the sink and open up the medicine cabinet. Now usually she is just going for her princess bandaids... but I don't want her in there at all! Too many things she could get into.

Speaking of princess bandaids... it was so cute. Abby probably poked her eye or something similar to that and was so sad she wanted me to put a princess bandaid on her eye. How do you explain to a two year old that it isn't possible to put a bandaid on her eye?

Abby is also in a dress phase... she honestly... has worn dresses and only dresses for at least a week straight now. Good thing I have plenty of dresses for her to wear! If the weather gets much cooler that may have to change but for now we will just let her play princess. 

We are enjoying the beautiful weather... and hope that you are too!
