365- Day 7

Day 7:

This is what happens when momma has the stomach flu for a day and 1/2 and daddy is left in charge. :(

I'm thankful for a husband who was willing to stay home and take care of the kiddos (because there was NO way I could of), BUT COME ON?!?!?!

The funny part is when i asked him what happened to my perfectly clean house he said, "What do you mean?" bahah! I had to laugh or I might cry!

Thursday, January 6, 2011

In the evening I pack the diaper bag for the sitter, get B's school stuff ready and put my purse (and whatever else I usually have like movies to take back, post office stuff, etc) on the bench by the front door. If I didn't do this I would be a crazy person in the mornings and would never get anywhere on time or with out forgetting something we needed. This helps me feel sane.

At the new house we're having cubbies/lockers built in the laundry room to match the cabinets. I can't wait for those :)

Sickies

Last Friday at 5am I woke up to B screaming "MOM I PUKED" in the most pitiful voice :( He wasn't kidding either- it was EVERYWHERE. Poor little guy! I felt so bad for him- he looked awful. He has never had the stomach flu except when he was 2 mo. old (guess we've been pretty lucky about that!). He puked about every 2 hours for the rest of the day until late evening. It was a long day, but he was extra sweet (just whiny b/c he wanted to eat and he couldn't even keep down sprite).

Poor sick boy!

This little mess maker struck again!
I was feeding him his cereal and fruit for breakfast and B puked (all over the couch)... I sat the food on the counter and went to take care of B. Somehow Corbin got the bowl and spoon off the counter and had it EVERYWHERE (including the floor and he was covered head to toe).

Saturday B woke up feeling really good (just tired still and not much of an appetite, but not sick to his stomach). Ryan went to work out at the house and came home after about 30 min. and was sick. He had it much worse than B though. It was terrible trying to keep C away from B and then from Ryan while they were sick. It was a longgg weekend (and not in a good way!). Lysol, bleach, and tons of soap were my best friends all wk/end.

I prayed and prayed and prayed that Corbin and I wouldn't get it. I HAD to go back to work Tuesday after being off for two weeks and I didn't want poor Corbin to get it b/c what a mess for a little guy to be sick-- God answered those prayers and neither of us even had a hint of it!

Random

This little man is a MESS MAKER! I can't get over the messes he makes! I don't remember B being quite so messy! haha!

I was washing dishes and I turn around to THIS-- all my recipes spread out all over the floor!

He is a climber now-- yikes!

Being sweet :)

Attacking his brother!

Playing :)

This was one of C's Christmas gifts from my Grandma and I'm not sure who likes it more :)

Also, Corbin started at a new sitter on Tuesday. It went great and I'm praying it stays that way!

Brycen wasn't ready to go back to school on Monday, but I think he is back to enjoying it now that we're back in the swing of things! :)

Christmas Evening

Christmas Evening for supper we always have Christmas w/ the Sims' side of the family. We switch back and forth between my moms and my Aunt Lisa's (they switch Christmas and Thanksgiving so no one ends up hosting both).

4 Generations-

My grandma Judy, My dad (Rick), Me, Brycen & Corbin

My daddy and I :)

Corbin got tired while we were watching old home videos of past Christmas' (like when I was 4 and 5) and past years of Easter (around the same age). My cousin put them on DVD for everyone so that was fun and a great surprise!

The boys got John Deere Stuff, books, and Corbin got a glow worm :)

Christmas Day

Christmas Morning we get up and even though we do gifts w/ the boys on Christmas Eve I always leave something unopened under the tree for them for Christmas Morning-- then we go in our pj's to my parents to do gifts there.

These pictures got out of order... later in the morning right before lunch my cousin's came over so we could take pictures of all the great grand kids together b/c one cousin wasn't going to be able to be at our get-together Christmas Night.

This is my cousin Nick's little boy, Lucas and I. He was born in Sept.-- they live in Indy and this is the first time I've gotten to meet him b/c they didn't come down for Thanksgiving.

This is also out of order, but me with my Kindle :)

Again-- out of order but B w/ my Dad.

Corbin on Christmas Morning w/ his surprise under the tree- A Pillow Pet.

He LOVES dogs and he was lovin' on it- soo sweet!

B with his- the penguin.

B giving Gran her gift :)

Corbin was giving Goldie some kisses :)

My momma :)

Opening her gift certificate for a massage!

Corbin just makes himself at home right on top of B (all the time)! haha

This is B getting his new DSi

My brother got Corbin an extra set of balls for the ball pit we got him and he wrapped them up outside of their package so when Corbin tore into the package they all came out- it was by far his favorite thing to open! haha!

Ryan-- some hitch thing for his truck?!

These little army vehicles were in his stocking (with a ton of other stuff) at my parents and they were a huge hit!

Corbin got a first birthday tshirt and bib in his stocking (among many other things), but he preferred the hanger ;)

My brother with his stocking :) somehow the only picture I took of him that day?!

My mom does such a great job on stockings- it's probably my favorite thing to open!

I got some great tarts for my warmer, a giftcard to Red Lobster, candy, chapstick, fuzzy (my mom calls them "night socks") socks, a magnet calendar (for my fridge), and some other big thing I can't remember!

This is when the cousins came over...

Corbin LOVED the baby!
(I think he needs a baby brother/sister?!) :) lol

Sweet Brothers <3
I hate that this picture is blurry b/c I love it.

The Great Great Grandkids on the Sims' side (my dad's mom's side of the family)

Kaydee Mae, Corbin, Brycen, and Lucas

there will be more b/c my brother and my cousin Ashley still don't have kids :)

We ate lunch at my parents (left overs and sandwiches) and hung out for awhile and then loaded up all our stuff (way too much stuff) and headed home for C to take a nap and for B to play w/ his toys!

B likes the ball pit too :) haha!

Playing his DS and eating crackers in there!

After Corbin got up (crazy hair!) he played and played in there!

Christmas Eve at Home

After we have Christmas with the Shoultz's we go home and open our gifts with just our little family. I wasn't sure how well it would work this year because it was already way past Corbin's bed time and he is not a fan of being up past his bedtime! He did okay while we were opening the gifts, but as soon as they were open he was definitely ready for bed!
