Just some from today

We have been outside ALL day today! I put Alli in the swing to see how she would do. She is still too tiny for it without something else in there with her. I didnt really swing her, just let her sit there.

This one was from yesterday. Notice Jasmine in the wagon!!

I took a picture with my phone of Lauren and I sent it to Jon. He responded with WOW if you gave her an 80's boy haircut it would be a mirror image of me! HA! They do look alike!

Lauren's Easter Party at school

Lauren is really into super heros right now. So she decided to put on her super girl outfit and add to it. She called herself supergirlbunny Lauren!

I was one of the Mom's helping with the Easter Party at school so when I dropped Lauren off the teacher then says something to me about helping with the easter egg hunt. I said sure since my Mom had Allison already. I didnt realize I was going to be the one to hide the eggs! So I got them all ready for them and they took off running to find all the eggs. They also had a visit from the easter bunny! We tried to get the kids to play an easter version of duck duck goose but they just wouldnt do it. After a few tries we asked them what the problem was and one little girl said we can't run in the classroom!! So we moved on to making candy necklaces. This turned out to be much harder for them than we thought. We eventually got them done and played pin the tail on the bunny. Had some pizza and other goodies. I am glad I was able to go and spend that time with Lauren. Before I hide the eggs Lauren and I colored an egg together.

Lauren asked...

Lauren asked me how do leaves eat. Me: not sure. Lauren says hmm ok I guess we will have to look it up online!

She just told me as she was putting up some of her easter eggs that two and two make four!

Yesterday at her Easter party at school the easter bunny came to visit. Later she told me that it was just a suit because it had a zipper!

You just never know what she will come up with next!!!

I give up

I am so exhausted! Allison is having troubles with her reflux again and that means no sleep and alot of screaming. The only way I can get her to sleep is to wear her with the baby bjourn or carry her around till she finally passes out. My arms hurt, my back hurts, and I am TIRED! I upped her zantac and started the prevacid today but even with that she spit up today. We will see how it is in two weeks and if it isnt better I am going to make an appt with a GI doc. If I can make it two wks! I just dont know what I am doing wrong or did wrong for her to be miserable all time. Then I have Lauren who wants to play but I can't b/c I am trying to get Alli happy. I supposse it is just a part of having two kids but I really thought it would be getting better not worse. I could type more but well I am just too tired! So I am going to bed! At least Alli is in bed and thankfully at night she has been sleeping all night. She just doesnt sleep during the day which means I get nothing done.

Easter eggs, Build a bear, and a Bunny!

Today Lauren and I dyed the easter eggs. I only hard boiled a few since she wont eat them. Allison was asleep until the end.

This is a picture of hail we got the other day! It was crazy!

After the eggs we went to build a bear to get Lauren Alvin from the chipmunks. When the lady working there asked Lauren her name she told her but I guess she couldnt understand her for some reason so she asked Lauren to spell it. And Lauren did!!
