A Marathon couple of weeks

Well I found out this week that I have a lot more energy and patience with the flu and three kids than I could have ever imagined hahaha.

yes, I was lucky enough to get the nasty flu virus going around while I had Michaela and Morgan this past week. My biggest fear of course was that I would sicken all 3 kids. I felt horribly about that prospect. knock on wood so far, the kids are doing well.

it was busy, it was crazy. Lucas and Michaela spent the majority of the week fighting. Charming. And when the girls went back to Faith and Joe on Thursday, my son had the nerve to say to me " I wish I had someone to play with" Seriously?? cause kid, you had your cousin for 6 days and all you did was fight with her. What a brat he is : )

All things considered, all went well, everyone was bathed and fed, no bloodshed at any time, I consider it a success. The virus seems much better with the exception of a slight cough left for me, but it has moved onto poor Larry. he got it worse than me, or so it seems, I didn't have time or the luxury of slowing down enough to notice really. Moms don't get sick days.

I cohosted Lucas's school halloween party Wed, that was cute and good fun. We played some games, sang songs, gave them a snack, read a book. His class is so small it was nice to enjoy it without it being crazy.

Lucas's teacher gets a huge kick out of him (big surprise). She says she needs to write down for me daily all the funny things he says, once he had her laughing so hard she was in tears and she had to leave the room to gain her composure. He also asked her to play Kanye West when the kids were asked what song they wanted to hear. That cracked her up, I could not imagine why kanye was not part of the preschool cd's. Straight out of a cartoon is how she describes him and his animated personality. there is no shortage of comic relief with that kid, for sure.

Tonight will be trick or treat and tomorrow is our Princess/Diva's bday party. I have moved onto calling Michaela a Diva, she is 2, it fits well. I am sure her mom agrees : )

The Stomp Musical

It was adorable, it was hilarious.

I got 3 of the 6 videos to load in my Photobucket last night, it took FOREVER. I apologize it was all I got to, not even the pics yet, it really took forever and I was not staying up all night to upload, so I promise to have the rest uploaded by tomorrow, cause tonight we have to go right to Open House.

Lucas's friend Ameen, who he stood next to, is very shy. he was the boy at orientation who would not talk to anyone and cried the first day or two of school. poor Ameen hated this musical so much and that all these people were looking at him, that he stood still with one fist in one eye pretty much the entire time. At one point, Lucas imitated him, but just as I was about to get up and smack him for not doing what he was supposed to, mrs Gatins came and took care of it.

Lucas still, like the other kids, only half paid attention, was shy, and they all did everything they weren't supposed to, and acted like, well, 4 yr olds, which made it cute and hilarious. Enjoy the videos : )

I also met up with Andrew's mom yesterday, because we had to plan the kids Halloween Party for school. yes, plan it. I signed up for all kinds of stuff I had no idea I was getting into at orientation apparantly lol. I thought I would bring a snack and stand back and enjoy the kids party if i got picked to come. Oh nono, if you sign up, you PLAN it. So we planned it and it will be fun. camera will be with me that day as well. That will be next Wed the 28th.

Tomorrow we are going to the circus in the evening, then off to WV Fri to pick up the girls. I don't think the weather will be nice enough Sun to go to Red Wagon Farm, but we will get pumpkins form somewhere at some point. Stupid weather!

It will be very busy, so I have no idea when I can post next. but look for videos and pics, and enjoy!

Lucas and the 3 Little Pigs

Go to my photobucket, and click on the sub album titled 'new video' on the left hand side. There will be one new video of Lucas telling the story of the 3 Little Pigs they are learning for his performance at chool next week. Priceless and adorable is all I can say!

Christmas ideas for Lucas, cause its about that ime of year again

It is almost the middle of October, so I figured I would start giving some Lucas shopping ideas for Christmas, for those who like to get a head start, like me.

Lucas would like:

Rescue Pets Swim with me Dog (it really swims in the water)

The Doc Hudson Remote Control Geo trax car ( Geo trax has come out with a Disney Cars set, he already has or is getting most of the rest of the set, but he will NEED Doc, according to him)

The movies UP and Monsters VS Aliens ( We are getting him Hotel for Dogs)

There is a Toy Story Playset we have only seen commercials for so far on Nick, he wants it badly. it kind of folds up into a suitcase kind of playset, and I know they sell the figurine sets seperately for it. Maybe someone can find it.

I would love for him to get a set of books I saw recently called Llama Llama. I have seen three titles, all of which were adorable stories. One was Llama Llama Red Pajama, the second was Llama Llama 's Mad at Mama, and the third was Llama Llama loves his Mama. Those would be an awesome present.

And he would like the Star Wars galactic heroes Playset thats titled Jabba's Skiff. I have only seen it recently at Target stores.

He also wants the new Whacamole game we see advertised on TV as well

If buying clothes, he does not need a whole lot, but buy size 5 for sure, he is rapidly growing, like he does each fall. Taller and Taller.


He is getting tons of geo trax from us and/or santa, a Playdough table, more Lincoln Logs, some puzzles, and a couple other misc items, but he pretty much likes anything he sees of course.

One more week down

My EGD Tuesday went fine. They made sure I was all the way knocked out, per my request. I was sure out of it the rest of the day. Mild gastritis of the stomach lining, which explains all the burning and churning I am used to. Esophagus looks good, so does the rest of the stomach. They took a sample for biopsy, specifically to look for the bacteria H Pylori which causes gastritis and ulcers, if its positive, it will be treated with anitibiotics. i just really need to stop living on Motrin, cause that is not good either. that has been difficult, esp with a sinus headache all week. But I am still alive and the tummy feels better each day.

I was off for 3 days, which was nice. Got to take Lucas to school and pick him up yesterday and Wed. I so enjoy that. It is very cute that the last few days when you tell him its time for school or you pull into the school's driveway he says " Alright" like he is happy and excited to be there.

Next week, he has picture day on Wed. Cannot wait to get those proofs. Then next Sat is Boo at the Zoo. This Sunday we will be going to visit Judy up at the farm. Iget so excited to go and I wish we were actually going to spend the night at the place that was so magical to me as I was a child, and it seems to have rubbed off on Lucas as well, like it did with Ashley and Alyssa. We have not been there since May of LAST year, but Lucas remembers it, speaks of it often and is excited to go back. Such great memories I now get to share with my son. : )
