DEJA VU

It's Sunday and we should be in church, but Matt and I still haven't decided on one. Matt wants the kids to go to Catholic church. I, however, am not Catholic and want to take them to Christian church. I've yet to find a church that has a family room that we can all listen from just in case the kids don't want to go with all the other kids. Unfortunately though, Emily and Alex are sick and we wouldn't be going anywhere anyway. That's why I say deja vu- it feels like they just got done being sick.  Alex has a cough, sore throat, fever and he got sick once this morning, but that may have been due to milk overload, because he woke up at 1am and wanted NOTHING else. I felt it was better to give him the little bit of milk he wanted so he would get his rest afterwards as opposed to getting himself all worked up and not going back to sleep if I gave him water. So, he got sick this morning and now Emily has started complaining of sore throat and headaches. She's not really eating, but she doesn't have a fever and she's currently running around. Nicky is currenlty germ free. I feel like I may be getting something, which is inevitable. How can I not hug and kiss my poor, sweet, sick little babies when they need it the most? I don't go out of my way to get sick and I'm not reckless, but it usually doesn't work. But I will tell you that is 100 times harder to take care of sick kids when you feel awful yourself. UGH.  :(  Anyway, for those of you that don't know, I had to cancel my eye dr appointment on Friday because of Alex. It is rescheduled for Monday at 2:30pm. I hope when the doctor looks she has nothing but good things to say, because I really don't feel like her doing anymore of ANYTHING under there. lol. Emily and Alex also have another dentist appointment scheduled for next week, but I think I'm going to reschedule that. They just went last week, they're sick, and I still have to get Emily's Easter dress and shoes, Alex's outfit, and shoes for both the boys. I also have to get their Easter baskets put together. I love, love, love doing their Easter basket. I think I'll be getting the majority of the stuff from Walgreens and Walmart. I love each of (non-candy) selections for Easter basket stuff. I also like to get them each a matching shirt usually from Target. The boys usually get the same shirt and Emily gets a similar one in a girl color. We also have to do our Easter egg dying. Our neighbor gave us some regular Easter egg dye, but I was trying to find something different this year. something more exciting....Well, Emily and Alex just came over and want to sit on my lap. I also have to get Nicky down for a nap, unload the dishwasher, and finish the laundry, so I must go...........wish it was nice out.......

LOVING THE WEATHER...

I am absolutely loving the nice, sunny days we have been having. Unfortunately, Matt had some extra work to do on Friday, so he really only had Saturday off. So, we took the kids for a walk yesterday and then when the boys woke up from naps, we went to Old Navy for St. Patricks Day shirts for the kids. I got Emily and Nicholas one, but they always run out of holiday shirts in Alex's size, so guess I'll try Target. After Old Navy, we went to Walmart, which was mobbed, then we went to The Dump. We played outside alot so far today, and will go out more when Nicky and Alex wake up. Then tomorrow after I pick up Emily from school we're headed right BACK. TO. THE. DENTIST. ugh, I'm sick of that place, lol. Emily has her teeth cleaning at 12:30 and Alex at 1pm. Hopefully, all goes well with Alex. This is his first trip. I know he has 1 cavity on his last back tooth, but I think, (knock on wood), that is all he has. Darn soft enamel......Seems like an appropriate time to request little to no candy for the kids on Easter. Especially no jelly beans. I will give them a few like I usually do, because what is a life without some jelly beans? lol. Anyway, besides the dentist this is a pretty slow week. The calm before the storm because, starting Saturday, we have a million things going on, but I'll try to keep everyone updated!!! Sorry, I don't have any kid pictures because I haven't uploaded any onto my computer. When daddy is home, he usually had complete control over the computer at all times!!! :)
