The Colds that never end.......

But at least they are just colds and not all the stomach bugs going around. Sage is runny nose, Maddie is runny nose and Kael is asthma cough. He needed Cough suppressant for bed time so if its not a producing cough Tomorrow We will have to break out the predisone.
Finally got thru the 54 houses the new Realtor e mailed us this week.....not even 12 hours later his assistant sent us a better floor plan on one we liked....one we liked had been sold Friday and another the people decided to rent it .....but she is still working on more.
The dinner party was fun and I get my machine in 5 days yeah......I tried to get the kids in for swim lessons in March but I thought I missed the deadline but I can not even find their classes on the roster so I will need to call about that. I have to wait till midnight to sign up for April's. I will be flying in to Ga middle of the month while Brian is on Spring Break....he will get 3 days alone with all 3 so pray for him and them....LOL.
Maddie will have her 5th birthday party Saturday...she has a Hannah Montana Cake and we have to go get her "big girl" bike this week. Also need to schedule her portraits maybe for Sunday.....we have the outfits....Hope everyone has a great week !!!

1) Nobody knows where she got the sucker from .......but she loved it.

2) Kael helping the salad master guy ( Brad ) Brian thinks he looks like Locke from Lost

3) Making Marbles

4) Snow from the 21st....come on spring

Ni Hao Kai-Lain Yoga

Sage Loves her Kai-Lain......We watch it at least 3 times a day and as you can see, her eyes never leave the TV. She even knows the Characters name. Just wanted to quick update before bed.
We went to The Marble Factory for a field trip today. We got to see Glass Blowing and how sand becomes glass and how loooooooooooooooooooooooong it takes to make 1 Marble. The retail store was great.....lots of oldies but goodies.....I def want to go back as a family and not a thousand kids, J/K.
We switched agents for our new house.....the old guy was just not on the ball and very slow. Our new guy has already called and e mailed us and sent a PKG in the mail. So hopefully we can get this ball rolling.
Tomorrow night is our Salad Master Dinner Party....so excited because 7 Days after that I get my big honking Salad Master Machine ( I Loooooove Salad Master ). So as you can guess I have a lot of cleaning to do tomorrow so off to bed I go !!
Oh I forgot ....We hit Target after Vision Therapy yesterday and The Easter Basket Stuffing stuff ( just like Stocking Stuffer stuff ) was awesome ....I must get there soon w/o kids ; )
Night All !!

Homes, Homes, and More Homes

So we started with 42 and have gotten rid of 8, most of those because of pools but 1 was just oh my gosh ugly !!! So I have to get together a list for the Realtor because at least 7 were new construction and I could not tell anything from floor plans online, so hopefully we can get those mailed to us this week. Others we just need more pics or info but its the first week so at least we are on track. Maddie is still coughing but not enough to disturb her sleep or keep her home.
Sage is still snotty and 2 teeth are coming in. We did pull out the potty yesterday but she is not really interested must show her the videos and DVD's....LOL. Kael is know listed as reading at a second grade level and has passed his 6's in speed drills..both OT and Vision therapist are pleased with his progress.
It started snowing ( again ) between now until Monday AM we are suppose to get 6+ inches. Maddie's Birthday Invites went out and we already have 4 RSVP's so she is very excited. I need to get working on a cake and what kind of bike she wants. Time is flying.
So thats it ....I hope to be better at blogging but you know !!!! Have a great weekend !

Happy Valentines Day 2010


So Maybe we are getting better? I am not gonna Jinx myself this time !!! But it has been 2 days and no Dr's so yeah for us !!! In other news we have gotten pre approved for our Mortgage and we have a Realtor so hopefully by Spring Break there will be lots of homes for me to go look at. Hopefully we will be under contract by April 30th to qualify for the $8000 first time home buyers credit. We have almost a 30 mile area to look at between Ft Stewart and Richmond Hills area. We are looking forward to getting all this done .....Kael is now finally excited we will be near a ocean ( he thinks he will be at the beach everyday ) Maddie is more concerned about her "friends" . Right now our big concern is Schools since we will have 2 in the system now ( can U believe it?????????? )
I did get her invitations today so hopefully they will get passed out Weds at school....
Enjoy the pics from Valentines past....there are no 2005.....I was ginormus with Maddie and poor Kael was never in any clothes???? Seriously all the photos are him running around in a diaper.....he is gonna hate that in a couple of years.

You have got to be friggin kidding me ????????

Sorry but I have been saying that alot. Got Sage to the Dr today after nights of torture for me and the rest of the house ( mainly Maddie ) as she screams her head off because Motrin wears off in 8 hours .....UGH !!! She has a double ear infection and sinus infection and they thought strep but the figured out it was just irritation from all the infection draining from her head. The Dr was not happy with them giving her Liquid albutral last week for a cough and saying her ear was a little pink but not nothing to treat.....esp with no follow up. Kael has the "asthma" cough going on but oh my goodness the smell coming out of that boys mouth ( and I have smelled death ) so gonna try to get him to ped tomorrow after school because that has to be a sinus infection ( yes he brushed his teeth ). He lost another tooth tonight......Tooth Fairy has been, He says Hello. And not to leave her out.....Dearest Middle child did not go to school today since she could not eat her lunch in time.....we are completely clueless as to how to deal with her. She has Teeth problems and Low muscle tone issues and she does chew slower then a cow chewing its cud but the therapist say it should not hinder her as much as it does......during the meals I feel like she is milking it and I could pull out everyone of my hairs but what if shes not ???? Do I give up, let her eat what she can in the time she is giving and just give nutritional shakes or Veggie juices? Today it was a issue of Chewing and swallowing a clemintine orange ? Usually its meat....she will chew it forever !!! Can you tell I am exhausted? Hopefully this made some sense because I am off to bed....night

Super Bowl Party?

I think ( hope) we are ready. They are calling for snow tomorrow, starting at noon with the heaviest @ 5pm.....great. I already pre chopped my chili fixin's, Quadruple Chocolate brownies are done, tortilla pinwheels are made and chillin, spinach dip done and 70 Buffalo chicken meatballs are made.....whew.
Kael started with his Asthma "cough" tonight so I upped his flovent and gave him some stuff for his runny nose, please pray we caught it early enough for no predisone or Dr visit. Sage is still coughy but she really has a time at night, we have been giving her Motrin and those homeopathic ear drops for ear pain. Have a feeling she will be going back to Dr.
I am loving looking at houses on the internet ......really helps with deciding what we don't want in a home......but I really love those Granite counter tops, oh yeah and a open kitchen....LOL. Have a great Super Bowl Sunday and Geaux Saints......Who Dat !!!!!
