Hide - N - Seek

I have done a terrible job of keeping this up to date....I will try harder.

I had to get on here really quick just to log something Isabel said today that was so cute and funny. The girls are playing hide-n-seek and when Isabel counts she is too cute. She counts (really loud) to 10 (or whatever she feels like) and then she says "Here I Not, Ready?" That alone is worth the screaming and running around the house! :)

Here Comes the Ice Cream Truck!

Ok, so Nicole was outside swinging and she heard the Ice Cream Truck. She came running in the house, looking out the front window - no truck. Probably in another part of the neighborhood. I told her that they could get some, so they better get their money ready. Nicole immediately finds hers, but Isabel can't find hers (not that she really looked). Now they are on a REAL mission to find her money. While frantically looking under chairs, in rooms ect, Isabel says "I KNOW WHERE IT IS, IT IS WHERE WE CAN'T FIND IT!!!" She's the "Bright" one :)
They were able to find money and get ice cream - all ended well....

Our Other "Babies"

Munro and Sable are our other babies. I am not sure if they know that they are really dogs???!!!

They are really good for the girls. When the girls play outside in the backyard, they stay back there with them. Normally, they don't like staying outside - they are above sleeping in the dirt!

"Two Peas in a Pod"

That would be Isabel and "Her" Ganny!

It is nice when Ganny is around though - i get away with not doing anything for Isabel - all she wants is GANNY!!!

PS Mom dont kill me for posting this picture! Hehehehe

Mysterious Sore Update

Well, Nicole's sore is almost gone. It is still somewhat visible, but I don't think she will have a scare.

As for the cause of it, well there is no real answer. It can be a hygiene "thing", but we make sure the girls get their baths at least once a week (mostly on Saturdays - so they can be all clean for Church!) LOL

There is a nickname for it and that is "School Sores". This is because kids can pick up any and everything from other kids/school. Another good reason to home school!!! (We need to try to avoid the whole lice thing whole that goes around at least once a year or so!) LOL

I guess it is all just the joys of parenthood!! : )

Nicole's Mystery "Boo Boo"

Impetigo or a Cold Sore...that is the question? I took her to the Dr and of course it was a "well it could be a cold sore or it also shows signs of Impetigo". No real answer. She did have to miss preschool last week "just in case" . Oh and of course this did not show up until AFTER Bryan left for CA :0

Eel Swimmers

Today was the girls first day of swimming in the "Eel" class. The went from "Pike" to "Eel"! They were really excited and had a great time. (at the swimming class)

Isabel has a cold so now she is throwing up in the car again : ( She threw up on the way there and on the way back - she has become an expert with a cup. She throws up right in it, and usually no mess to clean up!

The pics show the girls getting ready to leave.

The Weekend

Well, this weekend just flew by. It is hard to even remember what we really did! The girls have both been sick, and Bryan took Nicole and Isabel to the Drs. on Sat and Nicole has an ear infection :( They said Isabel is ok for now but she may get one too - great!
Nicole and Bryan made it to church this morning, but i stayed home with Isabel who was doing a good bit of coughing. I hated to miss it because we placed flowers at the alter this Sunday in Memory of Bub's Birthday. The flowers were gorgous. I will post a picture tomorrow :)
Good Night.....

Rainy Friday

The Will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Not much new to tell today. The girls are just getting over their colds (well Isabel is just getting it). I this weather is making them a little "crazy".
We are fighting with them to clean their room, which is lots of fun. Isabel always has some sort of ailment when it comes to cleaning up. They played "dress up" today so their room is a huge mess! :(

Crazy Week

The girls have missed the whole week ( 3 days ) of preschool. Both have a cough, but Nicole's is/was really bad. She had a fever and just not feeling well. She is much better today, but i thought that i would keep them home anyway - i have heard that there is a lot of stuff going around and i don't need them picking anything else up!

Right now they are washing the glue off their hands - they love to just cut paper and glue it to another piece of paper. We go through a lot of paper and glue!!!

It is early and nothing much to tell. Oh yeah, they has their last swimming lesson on Tuesday and they passed! So now they can go to the Eel level (the first is Pike).

Thats all for now...

A New Journal

I am going to start a journal just for our 2 girls. I want to write a little each day, so I can remember the cute (and not so cute!) things they do and/or say.
