The new favorite thing at my house is my tub! The girls could spend hours in it with and without bubbles!
How can you EVER say no to this face?
WOW MOM you really like us playing in here?
Zach HATES the water so he does not even want to join them!
Kendall is approaching 2 so the dreaded potty training is looming over us! We actually got down the small potty several weeks ago and I bought and put up (out of sight) the rewards. Kendall has been sitting on the potty at least once a day with no results. But I had decided to not stress and just be laid back with this effort. Yesterday, Amanda, Lily, Kendall, Zach and I went to Winston to Target and Costco for groceries and items for Amanda’s baby shower. We decided that Olive Garden would be good for lunch. So after we ate I took Lily and Kendall to the bathroom. Kendall was still dry and asked to “Pee on Potty” because that is what Lily was doing. I decided to let her sit and she DID IT! Within a minute of sitting down,she had peed! I was so excited and let her use my cellphone to call Matt! I am hoping this will be the start of an easy journey but I doubt it.
Haley just recently added pictures from her camera. These are from the Angel Food Distribution last month.
On Saturday, the church, actually the young married couples SS class, hosted an Easter Egg Hunt. It was AWESOME! We were so surprised to see that it was an afternoon of fun. Enjoy the pictures!
Lily got an Egg painted on her face. She was not sure about even touching the bunny but later she did rub “Buddy” the dog!
This was one of Kendall’s favorite things ! She and Lily actually played together in this for a long time
Zach just “hung around” with his dad most of the afternoon. Lily also enjoy “tossing the eggs.
I had planned to upload a couple of other pictures but blogger is not working so I give up!
First I want to remember that at the end of the year, I can print my blog to a book. I will continue to scrapbook but this will be a neat way to review the year! Kinda like a journal. Now on to the important stuff. Yesterday both girls were whiney. So we decided that we would take both to the doctor to have them checked. Lily has been running a low grade fever for almost a week now! Kendall’s and my glass also were ready to pick up. The pictures are from this morning! It turns out that Lily has a double ear infection and Kendall is starting with one so they both are on antibiotics.
We started to notice several weeks ago that Kendall’s left eye was starting to cross(turn inward). The more we watched it the more often we saw it turning in. Because of Lily’s extremely poor vision we decided to have her checked immediately. So yesterday we both took her to the appointment. I have to say that she was absolutely amazing! She is so cooperative with all the tests they had to do. It was really obvious to the tech that she was far-sighted. Her vision is not as bad as Lily’s but she does require glasses. We are in prayer that she will not need surgery. After receiving her glasses, she returns in 3 months to make this decision. Because Zach was with us, they decided to “check” his vision as well. Because he is so young this may change but his eye “look” normal now. One of the main things we were so worried about was finding glasses to fit Kendall. Lily was a year older but around the same size and it took 3 months and multiple visits to different place to find her glasses. So we decided to go ahead and order a pair if we could find some that fit. We did find and order a pair from the doctor’s office. they are pink and brown and have the “cable” /wrap around ear pieces. They are not the best but they did look cute on her so we decide to get these as well as keep looking. This office does not accept our vision insurance so this pair is full price. After coming back to Lexington, I took her to the office I use and where our insurance is accepted. I was able to find an adorable blue pair of glass that she LOVES and looks great it. So I ordered this pair as well. I was also able to order myself a new pair of glasses. I will post pictures when both pair come in!
I did make my first trip to Harris Teeter for super doubles yesterday before Kendall’s appointment. I am upset with myself, first I have lost my envelope that had my extra coupons to use. These were the ones I had pulled if an item was out of I couldn’t find it at the store. I had probably 16 or so coupons in this one. On top of that I lost my receipt. I know that I had over $50 in coupons but no clue how the totals actually are. I am planning a second trip tomorrow hopefully I will do better.
The playhouse arrived and only took Matt about 30 minutes to assemble. I will try and get pics of this as well.
Matt and I are going to build raised garden boxes for our square foot garden this year. I ordered the book today and he is planning on building 2 4×4 boxes for me!
