Try, Try, Try again

Ok, so this is the hundreth try at redesigning the blog. I want something that is easy to read, pretty to look at, I don't really know what I want. I will stay with this one for a day or so and see how it feels!

Second Try

I think this one is less busy. What do you think? Let me know. Sorry I know the other did not stay up long, but it really hurt my eyes.

Redesigning again

You would think I have tons of time on my hands to play on the computer, but the housework is suffering. This is more fun!!! I know this is a bit busy, but I love the header on this one. Maybe it will grow on me. We will see. Elijah and Sarah have a playdate with A today so I got to go get ready. Have a great day. I will post pictures of the day later!!

Mini Music Camp and Swimming Lessons

Elijah has had a very busy week.  He has been going to Mini Music Camp at church every morning.  He has had a blast.  I asked him on Mon what they did and he said "We did a lot of music".  Hmmm, I guess I just thought he knew it was MUSIC camp, hence a lot of music.  He was telling Sarah this morning all about camp and that when she got older she would get to go and it was lots of fun.  Today at lunch they presented their musical.  It was so cute.  I got a few pictures before the batteries went dead in the camera, but I video all of it.  If I get adventurous I will try to post the video.  Elijah has also been taking swimming lessons at night.  Doug takes him for this.  He is doing some of the stuff.  Swimming is not his favorite thing.  He hates to get water on his face.  We are hoping the lessons help.  He will have lessons next week also.  On Sat they will have graduation so I will share pictures then also. 

NOTES to self....

The kid's cherry yogurt looks like blood when spit up later, so DO NOT PANIC.  Most mornings we put Sarah's vitamins in yogurt.  Both kids love the cotton candy yogurt, which happens to come with cherry yogurt, so they have to eat the cherry before we buy more yogurt.  I forgot to give Sarah her reflux medicine this morning and about 20 minutes after having her yogurt she spit up...red...blood red spit up.  Scared me to death.  I nearly broke my neck trying to get to her.  I was so relieved when I figured out it was yogurt.  I don't think I will be giving the kids the cherry yogurt again anytime soon, it just is not worth that scare.  I am shaking just retelling it.

Second note to self....When thinking about giving Sarah her Miramax wait one more day.  Without fail within 5 minutes of giving Sarah a dose of miramax for constipation she poops big time.  Man, the rest of the day is not going to be good.  Lots of laundry will done before the day is done.  Sarah has always had pooping issues.  Since she is more mobil there are fewer issues.  If she goes 3 days without pooping then I give her miramax to help.  Daily she has 3 oz of the plum smart juice and that generally does the deed, but occasionally she needs help.  Apparently today she did not need help, just more time.  Great let the fun begin!

Guess what Sarah is doing....

Escaping...No I mean climbing the stairs!!!!  I think she was really trying to get away from Elijah, and showed her much improved skills of climbing the stairs.  She was really fast too.  Her balance has really improved the last week or so.  I would have never dreamed that I would be taking pictures because I would be right there holding her in case she stumbled, but now I am able to be a bit further back and got a few pictures.  She only went up the small landing of three stairs.  She wanted to go up the full set around the corner, but I stopped her, too many stairs, too far to fall.  Got to find a gate that will fit TODAY!!

Go-carts, glo-golf, clown car....

Oh what fun we had yesterday with Jason.  Everyone had fun playing in the arcade.  Elijah liked the popcorn game the best and Sarah liked anything that played music!  Then on to the go carts.  Here is Elijah making sure he is tall enough to ride: Yep, he is tall enough to ride!  Here is Jason, Daddy and Elijah riding the go-carts: Here is Sarah playing with pink kitty Daddy won for her in the arcade: Now on to the glo-golf at Opry Mills: Elijah won, of course!  Here is the kids at the cars: Everyone had a blast.  It was a fun day and the kids slept really good last night!!
