Life with an Almost two year old.....

A few precious moments from our last few weeks
* I was going to work a night shift and woke up to the guys coming home from daycare. I came downstairs to SMELL my husband washing my sons hair with peanut butter because his love of gum had worked it's way into the top of Will's head. SuperDad saved his hair, I told Will next time it would be a summer haircut for him.

* Will loves change. He runs around the house & picks up change (that he's left all around the house) and then proceeds to crawl over to the VCR and start dropping the change into it as if it's a slot machine. Jeremy is calmly saying "WILLIAM" in an attention getting voice, while I can't help but say, "Seriously, it's a little late now :)"

* William heart his babydoll, which is actually my babydoll, the last doll I remember wanting for myself and receiving from my parents. One day he threw a huge fit because he wanted to take Baby out of the house with us shopping. So I gave in and Baby came shopping with us. Poor Baby, she didn't know what was going to happen to her. We got to the mall and he wasn't about to leave Baby in the car while we shopped so I let him hold her in the stroller (as he is NOT allowed free roaming while shopping with one parent or I might loose my only son). We were on our way thru the mall when he says BABY, so I'm looking around for the baby he's looking at all the while he's saying BABY louder and louder. Finally I'm going to tell him that I don't see a baby when I look at him and realize Baby is MISSING. The cute little baby is the perfect size for being thrown out, and rolled over with even seeing her or feeling a bump. So we turn around and spenc a few extra moments to find Baby. She was traumatized a few times that trip, and by the end I told him, "If you have to throw her out could you at least let me know right away so I can just grab her & not have to search all over?" To which he politely smiled thinking "Yeah right, Mom, HAHAHAHA, where's the fun in that?".

* William loves Rice Krispie Bars. We were on a car trip and he was pretty upset and wanting to be there, and we weren't. So he quietly settled for snack time in the car. I only give him part of the bar at a time, for choking reasons, and so I peeked in the rear view wondering if he was ready for more. Only to find a human Rice Krispie Bar peeking back at me, literally. If only I had the camera, he picked each krispie apart and stuck it in his eyes, on his face, and then when he ran out of face in between all of his fingers & toes. I've never seen edible camouflauge before, but it was hilarious. And seeing how pleased with himself only made it even funnier.

* William does not love frogs. On a recent fishing trip there were lots of frogs & toads out, and Jeremy figured William would love to play with them, why not he loves worms? William was just interested until the frog actually made an attempt to jump during which poor Will was scared out of his mind. Let's just say there was some really crying going on.

Kids....you have to love them!

Where does the time go?

As I get older, I continue to be amazed at how fast time flies by. So in the last two weeks: we have gotten everything we possessed moved into the house, and maybe half of it is unpacked, worked our regular old full time schedules which also means William's been hanging out with his good friends at Julie's house full time (which thankfully he LOVES :), drove to Appleton, MN for a wedding which Jeremy ushered for, and William danced for, drove back to Rochester to work this week again and send William to daycare. CRAZY!! Well at least we are all surviving although the upper respiratory bug we all picked up while moving is lingering on, probably because we haven't been relaxing and sleeping that much! My disease is pretty much cleared up but William's seems to have been recontaminated by his parents is fighting off round two.

We are looking forward to a break coming up soon, we'll be driving up north to camp and spend time with our families starting next weekend. This is very exciting as the last time we attempted this I was 8 months pregnant, and I probably complained more than normal. :) We are looking forward to a few days off work, and a more relaxing drive up and back as we're not so pressed for time this stay. Thank goodness for time off once in awhile!!

Well hopefully by that time I computer will be fully functional. We now have all discs necessary for the next step (the Dell on call service to walk us thru saving our memory & reinstalling all of the software) and we just need to find a good time for this to happen. That is alot more difficult than it sounds when you live with an almost two year old. :) Obviously it's not the most important thing to do on our lists or it would be done already, but one of these days :) And thank goodness for not moving again for awhile, I'm afraid of what will happen to it next time we move!!

I have removed my April Rose button from the sidebar. For those of you who never checked it out~ good call on your part. Turns out the host wasn't really pregnant and certainly not with a terminally ill baby but did enjoy the audience her story created~ it's a very sad story.

So we'll see you guys soon & thanks for continuing to check in on us! Drop us a comment and let us know who you are :)

All Moved In...Almost

Well we closed on our new house last Friday! Thankfully everything went smoothly :) ...and we're not sleeping in a U-Haul, on the street, or in the PICU sleep room. We moved all of our things on Friday evening and Saturday during the day. Then on Sunday we spent some time getting boxes and furniture from the garage to the correct areas of the house. So eventually we'll have the boxes upacked, and the house will still look pretty empty. At least we managed to find the toiletries, and our work clothes :)

Poor William. He's been slightly traumatized by everything that's been going on. He was happy to see a few toys come back out and has been throwing his ball around the backyard. (Mom you'll be impressed with the foliage in our backyard compared to Easter, we'll be asking you landscaping tips pretty soon). He's already tired of having a two story home, and resorts to sliding down the stairs, apparently we make him work out pretty hard. The last few weeks have just been pretty hard on him, with more time at daycare than usual and less time with mom & dad. Hopefully we'll be making up for it soon :) We are thankful all the time for how easy going he is, he could have made the move alot tougher on all of us!!

In our style, the laptop has gotten a virus right before moving, but should hopefully be all patched up soon. So, sorry no pics for now. Just a quick update from work, while I'm not using the internet for personal use :)
