hum....

What to say today? Hum. I just felt like documenting something.
Today - It was a home day. I had a few friends (Patsy, Stefanie, and Renae) come over with their girls and we made gingerbread houses (graham cracker houses really).
Trey had more candy than I would like to admit.
I also made another batch of orange zucchini bread and gave my friends a small loaf.
The termite guy came again today (when are theses termites ever going to leave our house alone?!) So I gave him a small loaf as well. This was my 2nd time making a double batch of this bread and i have to say that I really love it! I love it even more because Trey is the only other person in the family that likes it so that means more for me! hahaha

I also had to just laugh when I was changing Treys diaper and he wouldn't let me put on a clean one. so I just left him running around naked for a couple minutes and the next thing I know he was walking around in pink high heel plastic dress up shoes. Hilarious! Couldn't help but laugh and of course take a picture.

Can you hear me?

This might come across a little funny, but it's serious too. Ty and I think that Emmry might have a little hearing problem. We all know that kids (and adults) can have selective hearing at times - I know Emmry does. Emmry is constantly talking loud and asking us to turn up the volume on things. Today at church Tyson was sitting right next to her and would whisper questions to her even using her name and she would not turn and look at him or answer the questions. So when we got home he performed a little hearing test. One at a time he put the ear phones in each ear and turned on the YouTube video of Frozen with the volume waaay low and asked if she could hear it. She said she could. But maybe I will ask the Dr. to check her hearing when we go in to see her tomorrow (for the cough which she has had for a month now).

Nothing

I have been meaning to write this down for a long time...

I remember when Emmry was little and I would ask her questions like "how did you sleep?", or "do you want to go to the store with me?" and her answer would be 8,9,10. Well, Trey has his own little word that he likes to use. Nothing. That is his answer to everything when he is upset or doesn't want to do something. He also uses that word when I ask him how he slept in the morning, which I think is hilarious because it doesn't even make sense. Just like when I asked Emmry how she slept and 8,9,10 didn't make sense.

Hiccups

(Emmry)

Emmry- "Mom, I got the hippups"

Me- "you mean the hiccups, with a C which makes the K sound"

Emmry- "no, the hiPpups"

Love her.

Almost last

Today I was a little late in picking up Tage from school - 8 minutes actually. As I drove up there was only 2 kids sitting alone along the school building. Poor Tage probably thought that I forgot about him. Luckily he wasn't the last kid - who was Deanna Inman's daughter, Ashley (a friend from church). I waited a few minutes and let Ashley call her Mom. Tage wanted me to take her home. But a couple minutes later Deanna came around the corner and all was good.

Nanny

I was at the library this afternoon and a lady asked if I was Emmry and Trey's nanny. Hahaha. Nope. They are mine. and then Tage walked over to me and I said, "he is mine too." I told her that I am older than she probably thought I was. She said I was super woman.
Hahaha.

No Napping

I am officially saying that Trey no longer takes naps. It has been 3 weeks straight that he has not taken an afternoon nap. Bedtime comes early around this house now. I try and get both Emmry and Trey to be by 7:30pm.
If we are in the car and he is super tired he will fall asleep, which is fine. A short little nap never hurt anyone. Somedays have been harder than others. The worst days are when I am ready to scream at 5:00pm and think, "how on earth am I going to hold him out another 2 hours?" Those are the worst times. But Somehow I manage and then I smile as he is sleeping and love him even more.

Family pictures

Iv'e spent several hours the past 2 weeks trying to finalize all the clothes for family pictures that were today. I hope they turn out good!

Sofie is 3!

Emmry's little friend, Sofie had her birthday party at Chuck-e-cheese's today. The kids had a blast and I had to take Trey out kicking and screaming because he wanted to stay. 2 1/2 hours was plenty long buddy....

Painting the garage

Ty and I have spent 2 long days prepping the garage for painting. Tyson has done even more than that in the previous few weeks repairing the ceiling by cutting out and replacing sheet rock and mudding and sanding. We did do more of mudding and sanding within these past 2 days but it took a long time to just tape and prep the garage.
Finally around 9:00pm tonight Tyson started painting. It went by really fast since he bought himself a new toy - a paint sprayer. There is still a little sanding to do on the ceiling so we will have to wait until Monday to paint the ceiling. (Tomorrow is Sunday - a day of rest. And a much needed rest day it is!)
It will be nice to have a clean garage! It's been over 2 years that I have felt with a messy, dirty garage. I'm excited for it to be clean and organized!
