Our life with two crazy kids indeed!!!

I'm not sure where my kids get all of their energy and I certainly don't know how long it takes for them to burn it all up. They can go all day and all night and never stop. Carsen hasn't taken naps for about a year now and he goes strong all day and even sometimes doesn't fall asleep until 9pm. Hannah takes a nap everyday but if she skips one she gets very cranky! Maybe the 3 of us will have to start jogging every night!!! ;)
Carsen is obsessed with the movie Toy Story lately and watches it every night before bed. He even used all of his piggy bank money to buy Buzz Lightyear after we bought him Woody! Still potty training Carsen to poop on the potty. It's pretty frustrating that's for sure.
Hannah just moved up from a toddler bed to a twin size bed. She doesn't even use a bedrail. She's such a big girl. Potty training with her is going so much better than I thought. She still has her days where she doesn't want to go on the potty but for the most part she does great. She especially does great when we are out in public or in the car. She also just recently starting waking up with a dry diaper after naptime. That has been encouraging to know that there is hope for atleast one of my children to be potty trained before they are 6!!!!

Baby, baby, baby!

So I had my first doctor's appt. today! I'm 6wks 5dys and due on December 8th. Still a LONG way to go. I have my next appt. on May 4th and will probably have an ultrasound that day also. I can't wait.. I just want to see the little bean!!!! So I've officially crossed into the crazy land of 3 kids! I'm hoping it goes a little smoother than what I'm imagining in my head.

New!!!

So do you notice anything new about the name of my blog....

Happy Birthday to my Hannah girl!!!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Hannah!!!!

Hannah's Room

I've been into decorating Hannah's room lately. She's had her own room since we moved here in August but she's never had any decorations on her walls or her own bedding. I figured it was about time. We had a big week of changes also. After all the decorating that I did I decided to bring up the toddler bed to set up the bedding. I figured I would also try to get Hannah to sleep in it. The first afternoon she got right out of her bed and climbed back into her crib. That night though Matt was putting her to bed and asked if she wanted to sleep in her big girl bed. She said "Yes, I do". She went and climbed into bed, Matt brought her her blanket and she fell right asleep. She's been sleeping in it since Tuesday and she had done great!!! I just had Matt take apart her crib yesterday... it was a little sad to know that my baby isn't a "baby" anymore. We also gave her a birthday present a few days early since she had a lot more room in her room now. It's a very cute dollhouse/playhouse. It's pretty huge though but she still loves it!
The room still isn't complete but as soon as it is I'll have more pics up.

Potty Training... take 542... this time with my girly girl!!!

So this pretty little princess told me yesterday that she wants to wear undies..... WOW! You mean there is actually a kid in this house that wants to be potty trained. I put her in a pair of Carsen's undies yesterday just to try it out and she peed in them but today when she woke up from her nap she said "Mama, potty" and I brought her in and she peed! I don't know what I'll do with myself if it takes less than a year to potty train her!!!!


(she wasn't so excited about having her pic taken)

(I told her I'd give her candy if she smiled)

( it worked out pretty well)

Christmas Ornaments...

These are the Christmas Ornaments that I made this year with my Mom and sister.

Halloween.

Just a few pics from the day....

Smores

"Please Mama, clean my hands"
"These are so yummy, and sticky"

"Mmmmm"

My baby eating smores. She wasn't a huge fan. She kept getting stuck to everything and crying because her fingers were sticking together. I think we were outside for 10 minutes before the full meltdown began and we had to go in to bed.

The last resort

So today has been one of those days... you know the one where you want to lock your kid in his room. Well today I did just that.

Everyday I put him down for a nap and I have one of those "childproof" knobs on his door so he doesn't get out 5000 times. Well guess what, he figured out how to get out. So all day today while he was supposed to be napping he just kept coming out of his room. Then came bedtime and I just couldn't take it anymore. I need that boy to stay in his room because I need him to sleep... BECAUSE I need to be sane.


Soooooo.... I came up with this great idea!

Guess what... he stayed in there and was sleeping in 5 minutes! So if anyone needs me to come over to do this to their house, I'm there!

Just a pic

This Little Piggy...

Here are Hannah's toes painted for the first time ever! She sat still on the floor long enough for me to do both of her feet and now walks around looking at them say "Ohhh, pitty (pretty)". I'm so glad she is such a girly girl!

My girly's poor belly

So it's about that time where I have to try and give yogurt to Hannah before her doctor's appt. next month. I really don't want to but it has to be done so we can know if milk is still affecting her like it was before. If it is they will do allergy testing to see if that is what it is or if it might be a lactose issue. I just don't want to put my poor baby through all of that again. Worst case is she will be throwing up all day from the yogurt and best case is that she isn't affected by it at all. I've been giving her quite a few things that have milk cooked in to it and she hasn't had any problems. The last time we tried something was a few months ago and we gave her 3 bites of icecream. She was up all night screaming because she had really bad stomach cramps. Atleast there was no throwing up so that was a good sign. So my plan is to buy a yogurt and maybe on Matt's next day off give it too her so that if she does get sick from it I'll be able to comfort her all day and not have to worry about Carsen.

Now I just need to figure out how much to give her... enough that I know if her stomach can handle it but not too much that it makes her sick all day long.

Pray that her little tummy will accept the yogurt with no problems.

Tubby Time and Crayons in his BED.

Don't leave your 3 year old in the tub to go change your other child! I usually do this and it works out great because Carsen always wants to play longer than Hannah does in the tub. Welllllll..... this time while I was changing Hannah into her pj's I could hear Carsen laughing hysterically and I didn't really think much of it at the time. I finished up and went to check on him and he had basically dumped all the water that was in the tub on the floor. Oh yes.. an inch of water or so working it's way to the door. It took two towels and the pile of clothes that were laying on the floor to soak it all up. I should have taken a picture but was a little too mad at the time. Carsen was so proud of all his water on the floor though. Ugh!

I can't forget about today. Carsen has only taken 1 nap in the last 21 days. Yes! Long days and even longer nights for me with this cranky boy. Today I was determined to get him to take a nap. I put him in his room and only gave him one train to play with. He played and played and got out a few times and cried and cried because I put him back in his room. Finally I went in because it was quiet so I thought I had won. I thought he must be sleeping but noooooo... he was coloring all over his bed with a crayon. I'm pretty sure I've covered the "only color on paper" thing with him so why is he coloring on his brand new bedding with a pretty orange crayon. I'm very happy that only a few days ago I threw out any crayons and markers that didn't say "WASHABLE" on them.

Oh and did you notice that I'm post happy today!!!!

She's got the moves

Ever since she was really little she's had some pretty good dance moves!!!! I can't wait to see what we get in another 6 months!

Just cute.

Just a cute little video I found of Carsen and Hannah.....

Carsen's Room & Birthday Party

Here are a few pics of Carsen's new room and of him at his birthday party. He got lots of great gifts and loves playing with his new Thomas tracks. Matt likes playing with Carsen's new drums, Hannah likes the marbles and I like the light up bath tub frogs!!

New House

So here are a few pics of our new living room... it's really the only room that we have completely set up right now besides Carsen's room but he's in bed right now so I will do pics later.
