Think Spring...

Go HERE for a cute spring giveaway!!

Oh the things they say...

I love the age that Chase is at...because he says the cutest and funniest things.

For example yesterday he wanted to go outside and play. I told him it was too cold to play outside, to which he asked...

"If I play outside in the cold, it will make my earholes hurt?"

He knows it is not good to play outside in the cold, because he has been fighting an ear infection...

A couple of weeks ago we were driving somewhere and he saw a couple walking and he said to Ryan and I...

"Why is that person wearing a chicken on their head?"

The person had some sort of stocking cap on due to the brisk temperatures, and apparently it looked like a chicken....

Chase just makes us smile...

She just started her blog 2 months ago and is celebrating by giving away $800 worth of coupons...so hope on over to her site and enter to win...Happy Couponing...

Slumber Party

We recently acquired a new bed for Kylee and set it up last week...the night we set it up Chase decided he wanted to sleep in Kylee's room...so they had a slumber party.



With the acquisition of Kylee's new bed we had an extra twin mattress which meant it was time for Chase to move into a new "big boy bed". We got the bed on clearance at RC Wiley's for $50 (how we got it home is a whole other story, because they don't deliver some clearance items). We thought it would be a good transition bed for Chase since it already had the rails on it (it is the upper half of a bunk bed). We have been looking for a mattress for a while so the bed was in pieces under our bed until we could find a new mattress. I have to admit I wasn't in a big hurry to move him out of his crib, because there is something nice in knowing he is contained while I am in shower in the morning...who knows what he could get into...but he is almost 3 so it was time to move to the "big boy bed". He has been sleeping in his "big boy bed" for almost a week and seems to be adjusting to it...as for me...lets just say my showers are very quick in the morning...up next...potty training...HELP!

It Finally Happened...

Yes, it has finally happened this year...I have gotten sick. It seems that my family has been sick off and on since the beginning of the year with colds, ear aches, and various other ailments. I have been to the doctor and Walgreens once every 2 weeks for the last 6-8 weeks with sick kids...and I only have two of them.

First Chase had an ear infection, then Kylee had an ear infection and then Chase had a cold in his eye...he didn't like that his eye would be matted shut in the middle of the night, but he is on his way to recovery.

Ryan has also been sick off and on this year as well. I kept telling him that I couldn't get sick because the house may fall apart...well it didn't work. I woke up today with a sore throat and stuffy nose...hopefully it won't last long. Needless to say there are things that need to get done around the house, but that probably won't happen today. At least I picked a good time to get sick...I can watch all the college basketball games while I am resting over the next couple of days...yea for March Madness!!



I had another post with pictures, but I couldn't get the pictures to upload right...I tried 4 times...frustrating...it will have to wait for another day...
