What a day

Wow...it has been a day. First, Zac didn't take his morning nap. He had been in his room whining for about 30 minutes, but he had been quiet for about 10 so I figured he was asleep. Nope. He was just sitting up in his crib being really quiet. So I decided to just get him out and take a walk to the post office because I had some things I needed to send out. When we got home, Zac got his little finger completely shut in the door. Yikes. I ran to his rescue and Sadie learned why it is important to be careful with doors around Zac. Sigh. Then at lunch time, I was trying to wheel my chair over by Sadie, and it completely tipped and I whacked my head on Sadie's chair on the way down. She was very concerned about me...it was cute. But now the kids are down and I am about to go lay down too to get rid of my headache!

Anyway, on a happier note...my zumba group did the halftime show at a "minor league" (that's not what it is called, but you get the point...not NBA!) basketball game. It was pretty fun. If you want to watch it go here. You can't see me the whole time, but at some parts you can...but you will have to find me yourself because I'm not going to tell you where I am! :)

This is a video I took last week. Sadie was watching Jake play outside across the street and she was so sad that she couldn't go play with him because she was sick.

Poor Sadie! Let's hope this week we can all get healthy!

My new shop!

I don't know if you guys noticed, but on the side of my blog, there is a link to my new etsy shop! right now, I have only posted the earrings I have been making, but hopefully soon I will add some of the other stuff I have been working on. You should check it out...especially because the first 10 orders get free shipping...and I have had 9 orders. So if you want to get in on this deal go HERE!

Today's preschool activity

This week we are working on the letter B. I just happen to look at one of my favorite blogs MADE and she had done this activity with her kids. So I decided it would be a fun thing to do with Sadie. Perfect for B week too. Butterflies!

I cute out the bodies and she decorated them with markers, crayons, glue, paper, and paint. It was really fun and we did it during Zac's entire nap. So about an hour and fifteen minutes. Nice.

Working hard.

This orange tablecloth is our "preschool tablecloth" If I forget to put it on the table before we start an activity, she will say "UH OH! We forgot the preschool tablecloth!!!" So funny.

Then we hung them on the wall. She made sure I did them high enough so Zac couldn't reach them.

Nice.

And this picture is just because I thought it was cute. She is holding her bear's hand while she plays games on starfall.com. ha ha.

Sadie and me

Like I said in the last post, the kids have been sick around here for a while. So we haven't done much of anything except playing inside and on the occasional warm day we play outside (which both kids LOVE). So we get a little bored in the house. The other day we were playing with the new camera. Sadie wanted to take silly face pictures. Here is what we got. (just don't pay attention to my face...Sadie's are really funny.)

And this is what else we have been doing...making funny videos. Enjoy.

Poor Zac

So we have discovered that Zac is allergic to Milk. He was eating some Kraft mac and cheese and he got hives all up his arms and his lip swelled up a little bit. So...no more milk for him I guess. We are most likely going to take him to see a allergy specialist to see if he is allergic to anything else. The poor kid has been sick since November. Well, a couple weeks ago we enjoyed about a week where both kids were healthy and happy and sleeping. But they both came down with a little stomach bug and now a nasty cold/cough this week. Last night was TERRIBLE. Zac didn't sleep much. So we took him to the doctor today and he said he probably has a sinus infection so the kid is on amoxacillan again! Poor guy...well he loves it. But I feel bad for him.

Anyway...here's to spring and healthy kids!

His poor lip and runny nose. Sorry...I guess I should have wiped his nose before I took this picture. :)

I don't know how well you can see it, but his forearms were covered in hives all the way to his elbows.

Another shot.

New Camera

We finally got a new camera!!! YAY! Our old one was so slow to take pictures that I always missed Zac's smiles. Seriously. I was beginning to feel like a bad mom for not having any pictures or Zac smiling. I have hundreds of Sadie when she was a baby. I guess our camera wore down in the two years before Zac came around. :)

ANyway, I haven't had much time to use it yet, but so far I like what I see...

Zac laughing! Hooray!

Mr. Blue eyes.

Sadie is brilliant at making crazy faces...but she happens to be brilliant at everything she does. :)

These were the first two pictures taken with our new camera. YAY for new cameras!
