I made these last weekend. They were for my Dad's birthday. It's always hard to decided what to do for the person who could get whatever he wants, so I made homemade old-fashioned doughnuts, one of his favorites. I had to make extras of course and they were fantastic! I found the recipe on Pinterest - gotta love it. I also made a turkey dinner and that was fantastic also. My favorite part has been making leftover turkey sandwiches all all week.
There is something eerily familiar about these two photos, and it's not the date they were taken. Sadly we have been having a lot of jammie days. We had weeks of sickness before Christmas and now seems to be round two. Officer had it a couple weeks ago and is on the end of it, but last night was a long night for the kids. All of them had fevers, yucky! I hate when they are sick like that and there isn't much you can do. So we snuggled, most of the night and all morning today. I'm so tired.
This little princess has had a rough week. She got her front top teeth last week and just like the bottom chompers she started biting again when I nurse her, I tried offering a bottle and she took to it pretty well, and has only nursed like once a day. Last night she was so yucky sick, she had a fever of 102, forever it felt like, even after medicine and getting her out of her jammies. You know how they get big and snuggling just doesn't happen as much. She was so tired and so sick and she just wanted to lay in my arms so sleepy and finally wanted to nurse again and not bite me, so maybe we'll hang in there a little longer. I'm realizing I will miss it. She is doing a little better today, but still has that I feel yucky look in her eyes and she is so tired.
This was a funny thing about nursing, just fyi - I think she is hilarious.
This little boy has been just as snuggly with being sick too. Some days there really should be more of me. How cute is he!? And as I write this I realize that this is the last time I've seen that toothbrush...we have others but in the meantime I've been looking for this because it is Lightning McQueen. Speaking of racing. Usually we watch "the letter show" (wheel of fortune) while I'm getting them out of the tub, but on Saturday - no letter show - what is a mother to do?! I switched the channel and he saw race cars - NASCAR, I could be wrong, I don't really know the lingo and I think I will have to know the lingo cause this little guy loves it. He was glued to the screen, wrecks and everything, and the he cried when I turned it off.
We have been to the library lots this year, they have a little preschool storytime and activities, so every week we bring home new books to read. Miss Peanut loves to read them to Handsome and Cupcake. I'm amazed at how much they can memorize the stories. It's been fun to read each night before bed. She is getting ready to start a little Preschool next week. I know I'm a little behind, but with her birthday and having to wait one more year till kindergarten I have put it off. I know she is bright and will do well in school, I'm just a little nervous about being her teacher every so often. We'll see how it goes and we may keep it up in the fall.
I'm hoping for a little sleep tonight. I hope writing this doesn't jinx it. Officer bought me
this fun little toy kind of for Valentines, kind of cause I hinted at it for the last month or so. My sister got one last fall and now most of my family has purchased them. Anywho - it tracks all sort of things, but one is sleep. I know I have been sleep deprived, but once I started using this to track it I realized how bad it has been, especially this week with sick kids. It kind of makes me want to cry or discover some way to freeze time so I can catch somehow. Anywho. Officer and I are rarely on the same schedule. It's kind of stinky, but we are looking forward to celebrating his Birthday tomorrow. He'll be the big 32.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVE!
Wishing we could go someplace like here to celebrate, but I'll have to keep wishing.
