sleep!

It would of course be completely probable that as soon as I FINALLY get Kiley and Kara to sleep through the night Abby would start waking up. Last night alone I put her back to sleep three times. Ugh. I think it is the coughing.

Toms parents came up to visit with Toms brother who was visiting us and celebrating a birthday. We ate at huhot and had a wonderful time. The girls all did really well and seemed to enjoy the food. Abby didn't like the spicy plate toms brother had. It was pretty funny! We came home and had birthday cake and ABS had to help him blow out the candles. She sure loves birthdays.

Invasion

The sick bugs continue to invade our home. It seems like they have been feeling under the weather forever even if I know that isn't true. I was hoping we were nearing the end of all this but just a few minuets ago I picked up Kiley out of her crib and she was hot hot. Checked her temp and yep 102. Doesn't surprise me since they have been all out of sorts for the last few days. I really really don't like Daylights Savings Time. But that's another entry for another day...

I think Abby is either sick, on the brink of being sick or sickness is pending. She is ... like a tornado? Can't concentrate, tripping all over, running in circles, running into walls, the table, fell off the chair. She looks like the ball in the pinball machine and all I can do is try to direct her towards the right holes... as she bumps along her way. Her nose is gunky, her eyes are watering and she has a cough. I think her cough woke her up at 6:30am and despite my lengthy explanation that the sun was not yet up and that signaled bedtime... she was up in 30 minuets.

My house is the largest casualty. I want to take a large box and put everything in the box and start over! I don't know where to begin. Thankfully no more lectures or clinicals this week so I should have time to get a few things under control...
(Kiley)


Kara is sleeping on my lap for the moment. I won't let her sleep too long because I want her to go to sleep later. Abby and Kiley are 'playing' in the cardboard box house I made with Abby a few days ago. Sounds like it is ripping so I'm not sure how much longer it will survive...

Hopefully Tom will be home soon. Just another day in paradise I guess. I will take tons of snow if it means no more sick kids!

Road trip and a Vikings game

Well we are driving back after a wonderful weekend. I forgot to add earlier when I posted that "we" included Tom, my dad and my brother. The Vikings game ended up being a lot of fun and wow what an exciting end of the game that WAS! But I'm ready to be back with my girls. Its funny how when you go places how you see things you know they would like. Like we saw a Dora Ferris wheel at the mall of America. We did get to do a little shopping there where I found a cake pan of all things. I'm going to use it i think to make k&k birthday cakes.

Kara can walk across the room now but refuses to when i have her on video. Kiley is starting to make attempts now too but hasn't been as interested. She has more of a vocabulary than Kara right now though. She has really enjoyed the nononono phrase. One night i was trying to get her to do it so i said nonono and well... she burst into tears. Wont try that again!

Abby is still really into princesses and beautiful princess dresses and everything being 'magical' lol. She has gotten to be such a good little helper and loves to help me wash potatoes for supper or help me pick up at the end of the day. Bed time has been more of a struggle lately. She has a stubborn streak! I think one night it took me six tries of putting her to bed. Finally i just sat outside her door!

Speaking of sleeping... i think Kiley and Kara are getting closer to sleeping through the night. Kara has done it several times now but Kiley still wakes up a few times. I think we would have had it down had they not all gotten sick again. Not surprising i guess. It will happen eventually!
