*Gick*

"Mommy, I gick." Says a little voice from the bedroom in the middle of the night. I go in to see what's going on and poor Kody is laying in a pool of -- well, I don't think I have to spell it out for you. Let's just say I was seriously regretting the olives I let him snack on, not to mention the pork chop dinner I made for him. He has been sick with the stomach flu all day and it is so sad to see my energetic little guy laying on the couch with this glazed look in his eyes. The good news is, he has finally mastered the art of using a bowl to catch it, rather than towels - what a big boy he is!Poor Mollie is sad because her playmate isn't very much fun today and she can't go outside. This has been her attitude pretty much all day. Don't you all just want to hop on over to the house o' fun?! Oh, did I mention that Daddy won't be home till late tonight? He has some silly anatomy class that he has to take on Wednesday nights - don't you think he should be over that stuff by now? I do!

Ahhh, Spring!

Well, I have a clean house and 2 sleeping toddlers, so I thought I would take this rare opportunity to post a few pictures and give a quick update! Not much new happening around here but...Mollie is FINALLY sleeping through the night!

The weather has been great - 77 right now, can you believe it?!?...and last but not least we're learning how to deal with the temper tantrums.

Hints of Spring

The first part of this week we had the most beautiful weather! The sun was shining and the tempurature got up into the high 60's, it was like a dream. Of course, we spent every waking moment outside - it's a good thing, too, because yesterday morning we woke up to snow!This is Mollie's chalk-eating faceThat yellow chair bucked her off a few minutes later

Calgon where have you gone?

...and why can't I come with you? Some of you may recall the commercials from long ago where a woman (did you ever notice it was never a man?) was having a particularly rough day and she just said, to no one in particular, "Calgon, take me away!" Suddenly, she is relaxing in a bathtub in some tropical setting and all her stress is washed away. Today was one of "those" days for me and I sat on the couch and yelled "Calgon, take me away" and then I waited. And waited. I had the thought that maybe I should actually purchased some Calgon bubble bath, but I knew that even if I filled my tub with as much product as possible, I would never be "taken away". First I would have to send the kids away, because they would never let me be alone in the bathroom - or anywhere out of their sights - for any amount of time. But don't worry too much about me. Life is better now, the kids are sleeping and I have a few minutes of peaceful quiet. I may not be able to escape to some fabulous tropical island, but tomorrow is a new day and it has potential to be so much better than today. Who knows, maybe we'll even venture out of the house and go on an adventure! I think I'll be okay, even if I don't have some fabulous bubble bath!
