Well I have been fighting this cold and it is winning right now and has been for the last few days.

The girls had stuffy noses for a while but everything seems ok with them now.  Jake had a fever during the day yesterday and some last night but he seems ok today however he doesn't have much of an appetite yet.

Ellie is now easily sitting up on her own all the time.   It is super cute.  I think Abbie cut another tooth so she is now winning that race with 7 to Ellie's 6.  :)

Looks like I have decided to go back to work full time soon.  I may go work for NCR if we can arrange some shifts that would work for us with minimal child care needed.  I would prefer someone to come here for a few hours four times a week but this could be tough.  I have found a daycare with two ppl who could take all three for a few hours daily if needed.

Anyhoo thats it for now.

Kids have cute imaginations.

Jake this morning tells me he is going to visit Lyssa.  He goes to sit in the closet for a few minutes, comes out and announces he is there and he is going to look for Andy.  He also told me he loves Lyssa like the world and then refers to me as Lyssa for a good 20 minutes.  Silly Kid.

He also decided he should wear pants today and went upstairs to get some.  He put both his legs in the same pant hole and was walking around.  He wanted me to help fix him.  Hehehe.

Abbie is less crabby today then she has been but both girls have stuffy noses and coughing a bit.  Well no different then Jake I guess on the coughing front.  Its going to be another long day.

So Jake has been really cute today.  We went out to get a hair cut at the "hair cut store" and then did groceries.

We then came home and its been a pretty relax day with him playing.  He was sick once while napping which I think is due to coughing a bit too much maybe.  Its very off and on.

So we are downstairs and I tell him I have a housecoat for him to try on.  He puts it on and then starts looking all over it to find the house asking where's the house.....LMAO  house for housecoat!!!  What a kid.

Now he keeps putting it on and telling us he is going to work......while pushing his lil grocery cart!  He is too cute.!!!

Holidays are over

Christmas is done....all of them.  New Years is over.  I am dead tired.  Christmas was at my inlaws place.  The next day we hosted another Christmas and dinner here with my parents, my sister and her DH and Lyssa and Andy as well as Chris' parents and grandmother.  The next day we met up with some of Chris' friends for dinner and the next day the kids and I went up north with my parents.  Chris and Aidan met up with us there on NYE.

We stayed in NYE and played poker with some family.  Went to bed late, slept till 9.  Thanks Chris!  Had a great dinner with my family the next night as Chantal and James got there.  Had a horrible night though.....Ellie woke up at 11pm wanting a bottle and she was dirty.  Afterwards, she was ready to party!  However, there was no where to let her play as there were people sleeping in every possible area.  Then Jake woke up and wouldn't go back to sleep.  He was in bed with us and playing all night.  Sigh.  Abbie woke up to drink at 4 am and then Jake up at 7am.  My mom took care of the kids for a few hours in the morning so we could sleep but man I am beat.

But overall, the holidays were great.  Everyone got over spoiled.  We had a lot of family time.  Got some great deals shopping, got some reading done.  (amazing huh)  :)

Anyhoo before I start to ramble I am off.  Time to start the bath and bedtime routines.  I won't be far behind the kids!
