Play Dough Cookies...

Tom and I found this the other night while we were cleaning up and got a good laugh out of it. Apparently Barbie had a little bit too much fun driving around the kitchen. Life can be pretty rough on a Barbie that lives in a house with three little girls.

Home for the weekend and loving it! I have so much more energy early in the morning then I do in the afternoon so I finally feel like I can get a little bit done around here. So far all of the dishes are done, pots are washed and the counter tops cleared. How long it will last in our tiny kitchen I'm not sure but it's a start!

All three princesses are wearing dresses and dancing around the house to either the fridge magnet toy or Angelina Ballerina television show. At the moment Abby is making dolphin Play Dough cookies with Kara's help. Kiley got banished because she isn't very good at sharing this morning and has already been in time out for bouncing on the beds.

Tom took the three girls into the ENT (Ear Nose & Throat) doctor yesterday to have Kiley's ears checked. She is such a wonderful doctor that she checked all three because of course after Kiley was done, Kara said "Me too!" And then Abby wanted to be checked too. Kiley's right ear had fluid and was retracted (infected) so she earned herself an antibiotic. Kara's has fluid so they want to see both girls back in 3 weeks.

Hopefully that means an end to some of the 3am screaming! Might be part of our problem with bedtime...

We are home all weekend, at some point I need to visit my grandma to see if she can help me with my dress for next weekend. Tom and I will be heading up North to a wedding while Tom's parents come to hang out with the girls for the weekend. I'm the Maid of Honor in the wedding so it would have been difficult to be in the wedding with the girls. I'm sure they will have a great time with Grandma and Grandpa.

I think Tom is nesting a little himself again ;) He is finding more projects again around the house to do. We are thinking of having all three of the girls room together again so that when baby boy comes we have a 'nursery' or place where he can be without being harassed constantly. It might be interesting to try the bunk beds...

32 weeks and starting to feel it!

This week is a bit of a killer at work so the posts will be short and quick... I'm falling asleep at 9pm, I just have absolutely no energy.

We watched the end of Tangled tonight with the girls and after Flynn Ryder and Rapunzel kiss... Kiley kept giving me kiss after kiss after kiss. She would kiss my cheek and my head and my ears... she tried for the lips but that's where I drew the line!

All three of the girls are getting very good about picking up their toys at night. I bought a few plastic totes and I have them pick up before bed. It really cuts down on the amount of bending that I need to do. They love getting high fives after they are finished.

Tom had a job interview this afternoon so I got to spend two hours with the girls. It would have been nice if this would have been yesterday before the nasty weather kicked in. Sadly we spent most of the two hours in the car watching movies. It was still really nice to see the girls, they weren't very happy when I had to go back to work.

Hoping I can get off a little early tomorrow night so that I can see them a little more without being exhausted. Friday will be a long day so I could use the break!

Weekend ... and Gone

End of the weekend... sad!

So far bedtime battles have been progressing nicely. Kiley and Kara have really settled into the routine (Kara better then Kiley) It took three bathroom trips for Kiley and 0 trips for Kara. We are almost to the point where we can lay them down and ... *gasp* leave the room. (wow wouldn't that be nice)

We had a lovely weekend of Christmas and just being together. Our Christmas's have finally reached the end and now we look forward to Baby boy and birthdays (Abby: "My birthday is coming in a few weeks!")

The wedding ring finally had to go, my fingers were dangerously swollen and I wasn't sure if it would COME off. I miss it though and cannot wait until it makes it back to my finger.


I will be back later to post a few photos from the weekend... first I have to track down my camera lol :o) First I think I need to get a few things done before bed.
