Finger painting

Today we did finger painting! It was alot of fun! I didnt have any paint so I made some

2cups of cold water
2cups of flour
food coloring

it is not the perfect paint but it is ok if they eat alittle!! Pierson had a blast!!! Half of the table was covered when he was done and he needed a bath! Hopefully I will stay crafty and he can do some other fun things.

Date Weekend

This weekend was great fun! Friday night we had her happy or not! Katie and Ryan got to go out for Ryans Birfday without a kid!! She was not happy but she made it! Saturday night Katie and Ryan watched our boys so that we could go on a date! That was great fun! We went to the Upper Crust! It was a neat place alittle to much going on for my style but great for singles!! We ended up playing games with Katie and Ryan after the date! It was fun we had to stop every now and then for Jensen and for Olivia but made it thur a game. We did find out later that Olivia has RSV! No fun for mom or baby!

Late night with a crib

Last night I was tired of dealing with Pierson not going to bed in a big bed so we called the grandparents and went to Babies R US. We started this adventure at around 730pm! Crazy with two kids well not so much when you havent been sleeping much the past couple of days! Jensen has a crib now! The grandparents came over after we bought it and put it together! Yeah! well no Pierson still woke up crying around 2am!! and after lots of tears from all of us and trying everything we can think of he went to sleep with daddy on the floor by his crib! I really dont know what is going on with him these days it could be the lack of sleep, sickness, fluid in ears, new brother but really he should be fine, NOT!! Today he was a total mess and the only time he was calm was when I would sit down and hold him. I am really thinking that jeaslousy is setting in. I think I need a date with my precious baby Pierson! It will have to be next week because wow I have to much going on this week. Still trying to work on my center pieces for the banquet at church on sunday!!! While thinking of ideas of things to make or sew. My cousin ask how i have time for all this and really i dont! But some how itgets done! ok off to bed before the crying starts.

Snow Day

Well we have been snowed in for um well all week. There are days we could of gotten out but Peter took the new car since it is better for the snow. Today was a day filled with adventure. We did get hot water back today but we also got a sad little boy with a loose tooth. No hes not loosing it he fell in the bathroom somehow and hit it. To take him to the doctor would of been a great ordeal because the carseats were with Peter at work, and the doctor is across town. I gave him Tylenol about 30 minutes before he did it so that was good. When he woke up from his nap his temp was 102. You can barely see where his teeth got hit because he sticks his tonuge out over it. I called the doctor and she said probably fine. I decide after the 102 temperature that we should take him to the doctor. We are going to take him to a clinic tomorrow morning. I did get a shower today! YEAH! I was planning on taking a long hot shower......well Pierson had other plans! I got in the bathroom and heard him crying figuring it would stop. While taking my shower i could hear him get louder and he just kept crying! So I hurried up and got out quick, he was still crying when i got out and to him. We think he thought I left. Very sad! Now we are trying to get Pierson down. This big boy bed is a step to being big and wow containment is nice. He does eventually give it up and go to sleep. I think I will head for bed, early I know but I think my body has had it today. I would put on kid down and pick up the other.

This House

Well, this house has been one challenge after the next! Most recently the water heater burner would not light. We called the company and they said broken, called a plumber they said pipes frozen! Oh did i mention that it snowed 12.1' a record for OKC. All in all it turned out to be frozen pipes which i will take over a new water heater. It froze up on Tuesday and today is Friday. I havent showered since Sunday!! Yup I'm gross!!! I have washed my hair and face but that is it. Peter has been taking bird baths! We are basicly snowed in! So of all the problems this has been the easiest so far.
