It's been a while. And the reason for that is a one word answer: CHAOS.
Owen got sick. Not too sick but just enough to make him a grouch. Then, out of the blue one evening, he let me know that he shoved something in his ear, and then he started screaming...for hours, nonstop. I checked his ears and didn't find anything. Immediately i thought the worst thinking "he must have stuck it down there so deep and they are gonna have to cut him open!" ahh! I called Mark and made him leave work and off to med point we went. Turns out, there was nothing in his ear, but he did have a double ear infection. SEVERE in one ear, and moderate in the other. Days of puking, being grumpy, and sleeping very little followed.
THEN, the very next day, i called the doctor and begged her to get Cora in because i could tell something was up. Skip long boring details, and turns out she had her first ear infection. Yeah!Two babies with ear infections...way fun. It was a fussy, amoxicillin filled weekend in our home! Both kids puking, and you name it. NOT cool.
Then, last week, I watched my boss's grand-daughter all week about 10 hours a day, each and every day! It was pretty crazy. They kept me so so so busy! I was thankful to have the extra work and also a buddy for Owen to play with!He was much less bored! But they did keep me on my toes, and i thank the Lord i don't have three. ha. Here are a few pictures of Owen & Lucy...they had so much fun.
As soon as I dropped Lucy off Friday evening, I dropped my kids off at my parents house, and went home to begin HOURS of baking for Owen's 3rd birthday party the next day...(i know, i didn't plan very well!)
3 different flavors of cupcakes!
The longest part was making allll the homemade frosting. I don't do this all the time, so it took quite a while. way too much stress. Pretty sure people wouldn't of been able to tell a difference if i had just bought it from a store...(note to self)
I must admit though, they looked WAY cute and tasted WAY yummy.
(oh did you want to order some thomas cupcakes from me now??
i don't blame you.)
:)
just kidding.
The next day was Sunday, and I was SO wiped out from the previous week. So we did nothing. I left my house a disaster, frosting all over the kitchen, whatever. We relaxed. It was brilliant. Then at 4pm, we took some photos, well our friend Stacie took some photos for us (you can find her on fb under Stacie Doi Photography.)
We wanted Owen's 3 year pics and Cora's 6 month pics, and we got those, but it also turned into a whole family photo shoot, and was a lot of fun.
Here are a few of those!

Then Monday rolled around and my sweetie girl had to get shots. boooooo.
She came home and barfed several times. It was lovely. Okay, sarcasm aside, it was awful. She was snugly and quite needy all day.
And now, it's Wednesday...Praise God. The weather has been beautiful. Aside from some slight poop disasters, this week has yet to be as crazy as the last...but my house is still a disaster. Oh well, the secret is out, i'd rather play outside then clean my house...ha. Judge away!
