Merry Christmas to All

Santa has been and left plenty of goodies. All of us have already been spoiled with gifts from Aunt Bambi, Papa, Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Dirk. We are smack in the middle of the worst Blizzard my southern self ( Have I said lately how I miss you East Coast??????) has ever seen but as long as the power survives we are good. We will miss all our family far away from us and those that are celebrating in Heaven................May you all have a Wonderful and Blessed Christmas.

And to all a Good Night

Keeping it real

Merry Christmas to all and please go visit Happy Housewife for more "Real" Family Photos

I love the Last day of school when the kids bring all the "gifts" they have been making. These are all hanging off the China Hutch in the Dining Room for all to enjoy.

5 days till Christmas

You think she is making a list???
The Pulled tooth....as of today the perm has shown up already

The Russian Nutcracker Tuesday was beautiful....they did a outstanding job. The Army has a complaint system called ICE and when the Chinese Acrobats were here in October people complained because they were assigned seats ( My kids couldn't see, I wanted a aisle seat,blah blah etc). So the last 2 events held in this auditorium have been first come first serve......now common sense says if you are doing that you must have ushers to tell people "move it down" because everyone always leaves a spot between them and the next person....so needless to say the first 2 levels were "full" and we ended up in the balcony but all was good. We got to see without any heads in our way and we ended up sitting next to girl from Maddie's Ballet class. And Of course my girl had to have a "real" Nutcracker ( Ouch ).

Wednesday we had the meeting with the school's OT for Kael. She has high hopes he will be writing better by the end of the year. She will be working with him 30 mins twice a week. We also have to take him to a special eye doctor for Learning related vision problems. Friday was the last day of school so I sent Kael to school with his treats for his classmates, treats for his "other" teachers and his gift for his Teacher ( Giftcard ). The kid came home with his Teachers gift still in his backpack.....He forgot......the most important gift he forgets...ohhhh I am still horrified. So I sent her a email ( but of course its her school account and schools over ) hoping to get it to her before Christmas but ohhhhh I'm so embarrassed . Friday was also the day I had to bake Baby Jesus a cake.....I always get nervous when I must make something for other people and there is no way I can test it first ......I mean this is for Baby Jesus ....can there be any more pressure????? Supposedly it was good and they had fun blowing out the candles for him ( Maddie said he could not come down from Heaven for this.....you know he is busy up there).

Hopefully we get to Santa tomorrow and some more shopping done ......hope Ya'll do too !!

Just so you know....

Maddie did good at the dentist, No cavities. But Thankfully the Ped dentist agreed that the front upper crowns need to come out since they still abcess and he wants to protect the permanent teeth. So we loose 2 crowns/caps (whatever they want to call them) and keep 4 on bottom and the 2 upper incisor so she can honestly sing "all I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth". When we told Kael He says Why do all the silver teeth people get a break? I had to tie floss to my tooth and have it yanked out.....I can not wait till she tells him what happened to her..So please say a prayer for her Monday @ 11 central time that all goes well. I'm off....I can feel a cold coming in my chest or maybe its the below zero temps here.....Oh how I miss you East Coast !!!!

Do U not love Sages expression.....Bwahahaha.............

Just about had enough of this snow

I was trying for a Christmas Card Picture and as you can
See the natives were having none of it ....LOL


Will it never go away ? They say we ended up with 11 inches but I say more. We are slowly melting though. Maddie ended up @ the Dr Thursday and they are gonna keep her on the Zrytec for a year since she is doing so well on it. As far as Bed Wetting she says she is still young ansd they usually don't worry about it until they reach a more "social" age but she did give me a referral to a specialist at Childrens Mercy to see what they think and say about it. I'm still thinking about maybe getting the alarm from Amazon....the reviews on there were outstanding for it. Thursday Night Kael's tooth was finally pulled free...LOL....he bit into something and he was in "so much pain" so I told him about Papa tying dental floss around our teeth and tying the other end to a door knob and slaming the door and the tooth would fly out....So he was willing. I tied it and Brian slammed it and out it came. We are all very happy now even if he does talk with a lisp and spit on everything. I scored a Zhu Zhu starter kit for Maddie tonight thanks MommySnacks tweeting the link. I also spent 30 mins driving around the parking lot at Costco which was funny since it was not that crazy inside. Maddie goes to the Dentist Monday Morning and we have the Nutcracker Tuesday night ( I hope she enjoys it ) ...this is also the last week of school and WE HAVE GOT TO GET TO SANTA ....Whew ya'll have a great weekend !!

Bed Wetting 101

As I sit here it is snowing again. We got 7+ inches early today and now we get more with possible Blizzard conditions tomorrow due to severe winds plus it will be a low of +5 .....brrr. Kael was out of school today and Maddie was suppose to have a dr appt but the Dr could not make it in from Kansas City ( I don't know why cause they got no friggin snow ????) South of us had sleet only until now. So Maddie goes Thursday to hopefully get a Script for Zrytec and for us to talk about her bed wetting. I don't know what is going on....I hate to say she is lazy since she is a low muscle tone child but we gave her no fluids since 3 ozs at 6pm dinner and i even made her void after teeth brushing and 5 mins later she had peed in the pull up??????? So I will be doing some serious research this week. Sage went to the Dr Monday and I was told she has a ginormus head and get this .......SO DO I !!!!! WTH ....yes they measured my head since it has to be genetic so not only did Kael get those ears from my side ( Thanks Dad ) but I am responsible for Sage's big head !!! I tell you it is a sign of intelligence ..... . Other then that she is at a 3 year old level on her developments and height is 92% weight is 88% ....yes yes head off the friggin charts. And just so I can round out with all 3 kids .....Kael's tooth still has not fallen out ....UGH !! Off to make our Christmas Card.

Photo's are what happens when a 4 year old daughter and 3 year old cousin get ahold of the camera .
