Happy Hallowe'en

Well like always I didn't get everything done for the boys. One day I hope I have it together. However the boys didn't seem bothered but I didn't get the cookies done or I didn't get one of the pumpkin craved. However the boys got their pumpkins done and the got their costumes on and oh my we got candy. Noah was going nuts, Jonas was still shy at going to the door but would still run to the next house to the drive way and than need us to walk with him. Lucas really didn't get it since he'd go to the door and give them his candy and than throw the candy that they gave him on the ground, it was funny.

Lucas and I came back early to hand out candy and we got 60+kids, we didn't count last yr and ran out and this yr we have way too much but it seemed that we got about the same as last yr so now I think we know how much to buy for next yr.

Here are a few pictures of our Hallowe'en.

Dancing Lucas

This was taking a while ago not sure how long but before his first birthday! We are a little slippery where we have one sock on and one sock off but that is how we roll lately. Sorry for all my talking I know it's annoying but what can you do!

So Last few weeks have been exhausting but than that is parenthood. We had some virus lately and too many teeth trying to come in at the same time. Last night we got about 6 hours of sleep so hopefull we'll get back to getting some sleep again.

Lucas had a not so good birthday since he had a fever which turned out to be Roseola in the end. He is growing pretty good, 21 lbs 8.5 0z and 30" tall. however they are going to keep an eye on his height for a while because even though he is almost in the 70% i think for height he has fallen off his growth curve with a spike downwards. we are hoping that the other measurements were taken after a growth spurt and the just hasn't had it this time yet. However we aren't to concern but it just something we have to watch for a bit. Since he had a fever and the rash at the appointment his needles had to be delayed which wasn't too up setting for me haha. not looking forward to getting those 1yr shots. Hard to believe my baby is one yrs old now, where did the time go!

Happy 7th Anniversary

It's been 7 years since one of the most amazing days of my life!!!! It hard to believe we tied the knot 7 years ago. Some days it seem like yesterday and some times it seems like many moons ago. However it doesn't really matter how long it has been because these to crazy love birds are deeply in love!

Back Swinging the K bell

Well after much humming and hahing and trying to work it in our budget I found a class that isn't exactly all I want it to be(meaning I wish it more than one morning a week) I found an exercise class that I can attend. I am back working out with Kettlebells. First class was this morning and man did it kick my butt. It feels so good to have my body healed from having Lucas. Who thought it would take 10 months to recover from having an uncomplicated birth but than I guess getting sent home with Vicodin(a very strong pain med) something they rarely send ppl home with, normally it's 600mg Ibuprofen(which I never took after Noah or Jonas...in fact I still had the full bottles of Ibuprofen they sent home with me after having them) and almost getting sent home with a walker it wasn't completely uncomplicated. But than having a fast labour with a 10lbs 2.1oz baby(which everyone assumes I had a c-section but I didn't) which do to the intensity and speed of labour broke the blood vessels in the whites of Lucas eyes. Anyhow that can all be read back in his Birth story. It feels good to be able to exercise once again and not be in pain and to be able to run hold my sons it is great. I know I am going to be a good sore tomorrow!

Anyhow my workout oh my did the instructor kick my butt. I had sweat going everywhere, dripping it off me hitting the floor! I was tired, out of breath and feeling good. I feeling I have long to feel for such a long time. A workout like that can make the worst/hard day of your life feel great and that glass you thought was half empty to be over flowing full. So I am excited to be back into the exercising life. Now I just have to try and fit my home work into the other 6 days a week, fingers crossed I can but at least I have that one day which is better than no days!

On another note.

Noah is loving Pre-school which makes me so happy and makes life a little easier than if he was crying and not wanting to go etc. Jonas and Lucas play together when Noah is at school and seem to be happy to play together. I can really tell the age difference between Noah and Jonas when Noah is at school. At many times in the pass it didn't really seem like there was a 17month difference between the two but lately it coming more and more apparent and has been hard to not treat Jonas like Noah but I have been trying very hard to remind myself that Jonas will be three in Dec and he's not 4. That sounds funny but Jonas has acted so much older than he really is. I mean this kid walked early, talked in my mind very early he has even done a few things before Noah has and Noah watches and than doesn't them after seeing his younger brother. I think that is why he might have done some hitting behaviour(out of frustration where we have been fault of treating him older). So I been working hard and looking back at what age did we do stuff with Noah, which has helped.

Now I am hoping I have learn from my mistakes with Jonas and don't treat Lucas like he is older than he is, where he seem to be on the fast track too. This kid as more words at this point than I think at least Noah did for sure. He walked before 10months, waves, claps, even got teeth early compared to the other two boys, The most hardest thing for me is accepting he will be 1 YEARS OLD on tuesday! I know some might rolling eyes and thing I am lame etc but really I am sad about it. Time just goes faster with each kid. I remember noah's first yr so well, jonas went a little fast but oh my goodness Lucas well I don't even remember it and it is also true that you don't take as many pictures as you do with your first child. But not having a camera for the first 5 months of your kids life doesn't help either :(. SO we were going to celerbrate this

Adjusting to Adding Pre-school to our life

It's been a while and I apologize...Just the normal crazy life and not a lot of time lately. I was told that when we got Noah in school that it would sent a routine and things would fall into place. LOL I am laughing now b/c right now I feel like I am swimming and just staying a float lately. But I guess the good thing is I am still swimming right???

Well Noah's Preschool is going awesome, he loves it! He wakes up, gets dress right away, eats and is at the door waiting to go. I love it and I have to say he has made it so much easier on me with the fact that he wants to go and loves going. I don't know what I would do(well i would take him out probably) if he cried like some of the girls and boys we know(but then they are about a yr younger than him...I don't get why some parents push their kids to grow up when they aren't ready). I say that but than I know I am hard on Jonas sometimes b/c he acts so much older than he is at times, I have to remind myself he and Noah aren't the same age....I think it will be good for him that he gets held back a yr from school(I get an extra yr with him and Lucas too b/c the cut off for school is Sept 1 down here). Noah is also learning the days of the weeks at home b/c he wants to know what days he has school, soccer, dad softball etc in order(he knows the days things are on. But we are practicing what day comes after what.)

Anyhow I am always running place to place which I know other parents of older children know all about it! I listen to my sister has told me all the running around they do with my nieces and nephew. I can really see where my life is going and it's not about to slow down anytime soon... It like as soon as I drop Noah off and get home I am running back to pick him up, or on Thursdays if we are running behind Tom runs Noah to school and I take the other two boys to Music class and than race back to get Noah, than home for lunch, Lucas's nap, try to clean up the place so I can make supper and than it's bath, supper bedtime routine, do Lucas bed time stuff to get him to bed, and clean up the kitchen and finally bed for me oh my haha.

There just doesn't seem to be a moment to sit down!
