TESTING TO CK OUT THE SIGNATURE..

More Strep

On April 6th I took the Roo to the doctor. He had strep. He is in the mood to not want to take meds so I had them give him a shot. He cried some not to bad. Afterward he kept saying "they hurt me, mommy they hurt me". It was so precious and sad. At least I'm not fighting him to take the meds for a week. Christopher was on spring break and went with us. He has yet to get the strep, but I told him if he does get it he will also be getting a shot. So he stayed clear of Roo for a while.
We are doing cub scouts. It is crazy and madding. We meet so much Mikie has a cow about it. I have training on Saturday all day long. I don't have to do this stuff, but I like getting to be a part of it.

Strep

I have strep throat. Mandy and Dane have it so I'm guessing that is where I got it from. Christopher and Zack were at mamaw's Saturday night, but they do not have it, they passed it over to me.

Two Year Check Up

Zack had his 2 year check up yesterday. He is 3 feet tall, that's 64% of his class. He weighed 28.5 lbs. that's 43% of his class. He doesn't look that skinny. I do have a hard time getting bluejeans to fit him. 2T's are the right length but fall off his butt, and he is getting interested in potty training, just imagine when he gets out of diapers nothing will fit him. He did really good getting his shot and finger pricked. He cried just a little at the shot, but really cried when she put the band aid on his finger. It had to come off, then he moved to the one on his leg and he pulled it off. He was jumping in front of the doctor, kinda like a rabbit with both feet off the floor, she was impressed that he could do that.
Christopher is trucking along with reading. At the begining of the year I was kinda worried about him. He was reading at a Kindergarden level. Now he is getting into a second grade level. He is doing pretty good with his spelling word also. Just last week he didn't get them very good even by Friday morning. I drilled him from the time he got up til he got out of the car on his words and he made a 90. I was thrilled.

Lost Tooth

Christopher lost his first tooth last Friday. He was so excited. He didn't remember it even coming out so we did not have a tooth to put under his pillow, but the tooth fairy let him money anyways. I guess she always knows.

Roo is talking like crazy. He can say almost anything and gets most name rights. He is starting to remember things. He still loves Mickey Mouse. We are going to take him to see Mickey with my mom and dad later in the year.

The Secret To Toddler Bedtime

Chris had soccer practice a couple of weeks ago, my husband takes him and I say home with Zack (Roo). He has a song that he makes us listen to when we go anywhere over and over. So I decided to make him a Cd to listen to while he sleeps. He already had baby Einstein he was listening to for almost two years. I put his favorite song as number one so when I start his Cd at bedtime he will get to hear it. For this first song it had to be Out Last Night by Kenny Chesney. Then so on to Chicken Fried, Small Town Girl, some Taylor Swift and Second Chance. He has a good variety of music he likes. I also had room for some kids songs. Now when he goes to bed he will run to his room and put his arms up for me to pick him up and be put in the crib. I put his Cd on repeat and he gladly goes to sleep.
I am about ready to change his bed to a toddler bed. I'm split between changing his bed or getting a toddler bed. I may see what kinds they have out there and go from there.

Almost The House Of Our Dreams

I look up the houses in our area every so often to see what is for sale. A few weeks ago I saw this house.

We went to look at it the other day. We really like it. It has 20+ acres with it, on top of a hill in the middle of the small town we live in. The house does need a couple of things done to it, like carpet and painting. The price has been dropped twice and several people have looked but no one has bid on it as of Monday. We would have to sell our house in order to buy it. I am thinking about going to the credit union and have the loan lady go over it to see if she thinks we could afford it. The price is a really good deal especially since it has 20 acres. It has 5 bedrooms, 2 baths, a den, family room, living room, huge kitchen, dinning room, 2 stairs with small rooms under the stairs one is set up as a kids playroom. Attic and a 3 car garage. The land has a dirt road on it and fenced off, they just took the cattle off the land last month. And the best part is I would be able to stay there when it stormed. I have wanted a house like this one for a long time. The house 2 doors down is my dream house, which the people who own it will not sale. We were thinking in about 5 years selling our house and building a house like this one on some land probably starting around 20 acres or so.

Sorry for the long time of no posting. I have been extremely busy at work and tired after I put the kids to bed then walk a mile at night. Caught a break today at work.
