Under the Weather..

We've been having a little rough patch... Someone was sick for the last two weeks... At least we staggered it and we weren't sick at the same time! 

So let's see what have we been up to?  

I am doing great in soccer (attitude not skills). I don't cry and I actually laugh and play.  My favorite part of the game is when i get to sit out of the game and play with my friends at the water cooler... they have these awesome cone cups and I see how far I can through the water in the air.  Between 8 kids, we use about 50 cups. My strategy on the field is to try to kick the ball if it comes by me but for the most part I try to stay outside of the "hive".  You don't get kicked as much! 

Eila is doing fine.  She's doing great in school and is still dancing.   

Caleb is such a chunk!  He's starting to push up on his arms and is trying to roll over.  He just can't get his fess to cooperate!

Pushing up

Eila's normal weekend attire.. Henley came play

Caleb really wants to get this frog!!

One of Moms "crazy lady" moments this week....(notice the "one of")  We get to dress up like our favorite character in a book for school (and you can't buy anything).  So last Sunday she broke out the sewing machine, and made me a cape and a mask.  We get all dressed up Monday and head to school.  Ms. Allison opens the door to let me out at carpool and gives Mom the "crazy lady" look.  Umm character day is next Monday.  So mommy had to go home and get me a uniform and then go to work!  So we will try again tomorrow, October 21st!!! The teacher did send a nice sticky note saying she liked the costume.. (I think they felt sorry for her)

He's getting so big!! He tried eating with a spoon yesterday!  He was pretty ticked that we took the bottle out of his mouth!

 Mommy uses all her resources

 We went through all our clothes this morning and got rid of the small stuff and pulled out the winter stuff.  Eila is now prepared for the blizzard that will be here never!

Apparently the "crabs" that bite Eila in Calebs room cannot get her when she's in his bed... So she reads to him while we wait for the crabs to go out with the tide.

 Lifting weights?

 Wow, look he can lift with two hands!

A few pics

 Nanny Nikki entertained us with her "cutting" ability.... She is much more creative than Mommy!

Colds!!

This cold is kicking us all in the you know what!! Our house has been snotty, coughy and a little cranky for the last two weeks! We even shared it with Caleb, who has been to the dr twice for ear infection/ ruptured ear drum. Luckily he is not a complainer. We had no idea, he was not fussy and was sleeping through the night. He's a tough bogga. ( unlike eila who puts on 20 bandaids a day because something "hurts"!)

Other than that we are soo busy. Eila is still in dance and I still am not a fan of soccer. I don't mind practice but I don't like the games. Last week I did better and only cried a little. I don't run as fast as the other kids and don't get to kick the ball often. But since I am part if a team, I will try to stick it out. (Not by choice)
Eila still loves dance and is doing great in school. She has a new song everyday!

Caleb is a chunk!  He's up to 15 lbs and is wearing 6-9 mths clothes!  He's a happy baby!

Mommy promises to post pics soon!
