Pretty me?

I woudln't post this on facebook becuase too many people read it. I just shaved my legs today for the first time in 8 months! Yup, the last time was before Adeline was born, and then I could never find a good reason to. Well, I got to a point where I was just curius to see how long it would grow. And I have sensitive skin and my legs are always itchy for days afterwards so I don't really like to shave anyways. Well, it's spring and it has been warm and I didn't want to wr nylons or boots to church so it had to be done.
In other news, it's been so warm so we have been outside this weekend getting sunburnt. I see myelf hanging out at my moms a lot when it is nice out. The kids loveb to ride their bikes and I hate our busy street. Also, garage sale season is here and I have a nice little list of things I want which means I have to get out there!
Adeline is over the chicken pox but now she is so clingy. I need to get her going to sleep on her own, I can't keep rocking her to sleep. SHe is really not all that co-operative when I do it anyways. I need to be tough.
I need to make a ceasar salad. We are having a birthday party for my nana and Preston today.
Bye

Random Stuff

-Kayla came into my room this morning and said "where's daddy" so I said 'he's at work. WHy?" She said "Because I dreamed he died. There was a volcano and he was working there with the other daddys." I told her that daddy was not working at a volcano.
-I never want to grout again...we are STILL fixing it. I do feel better though becasue I found out the guy sold me the wrong product(non-sanded grout) so it was a lot harder to work with. I could have handled it better, but I will still blame him for all the miersy I've been put through with scraping it all out and starting over. I'm not even a fan of the colour we have. It is showing up a lot lighter than the box says, I wanted a bigger contrast.
-I want to be more spontaneous. I drove past an African restaurant today. It qwas small but it looked nice inside. I kinda want to go there on our date night this weekend...we'll probably end up at Boston Pizza.
-Clayton got the chicken pox this week. I feel kinda dumb because I said I had always refused the vaccinations for my kids becuase it was a yearly thing...which it was not. So, I was feeling dumb putting us through this until Preston made me realize the vaccine is only 75% effective, which means that people can still get it if they are exposed enough(my logic, correct me if I'm wrong) Now, Clayton will be almost 100% immune for a few days of discomfort. I expect Kayla and Adeline will break out next week.
-Preston is working in Mississauga again. I liked him working intown. He got to get up an hour later and home an hour earlier and I didn't have to make his lunch if I didn't want to. However, he gets paid for his traveltime so our family income has gone up for the moment...definate bonus.
-It's really hard to make kids be grateful. I've taken my kids to funworks a few times now They get to run around and crawl and climb. But no matter how many times I tell them how lucky they are to be there they bug me to play those dumb token games that cost a fortune. I warned them last time "NO GAMES" and Clayton still got upset with me. How can I teach them.
- My MIL is visiting this week. Even though she says she is just here to spend time with us, I still feel like we should do something. Really, how much fun is sitting around the house. We have filled the first day though with videogames, battleship and books. The kids really enjoy her company...and I enjoy some freedom.
I like writing like this. I think I'll do it more.

SIck Sick Sick

February has been a horrible month for our family as far as health goes. CLayton got Strep throat. Even after a round of anitbiotics his throat started to hurt again so I ran him in for another round. Then I got the worst cold ever. I was so lucky that I got my cold on a Saturday so taht when I felt like the biggest bag of dirt ever on Sunday, my mom could take them to church. She even kept them for the whole day and I stayed in bed all day, which I NEVER do so I must have felt really bad. Of course, I found out a few days later that I was pregnant so I'm sure the icky feelings were doubled up ontop of eachother. Kayla last weekend had a fever for 5 days. I thought it would never end. The wierd thing is, is that was all she got. She didn't get sick or eat poorly, she was just tired and had a few naps here and there. SOme days she even had some energy. After that she developed a small cold and cough. Adeline has been the biggest pain though. She had a cold and fever for 3 days and now she refuses to take her bottle. She is only 6 months, she needs her formula but she flat out refuses..probably more so now that I have tried to force it on her so many times. So we are going to the doctor tomorrow to have her weighed, get his opinion, stuff like that. She eats very well though so I give her cereal everytime she refuses her bottle and I mix it with lots of formula. We're also thrying the sippy cup...kinda hard when she is not so co-ordinated. Preston has managed to maintain is good health through all of this, which is good becuase he is still keeping busy. He put the backsplash up this past weekend and is doing the flooring next weekend. I get a massage tomorrow which I am sooo looking forward too. Now, I am going to make Prestons lunch for tomorrow and try to sneak a bottle into my sleeping babys mouth(unfortunately she is too smart for that too most of the time...but I'm trying anyways)

Coming to terms

O.K., I have stopped whining. That last post was like 2 days after I found out, soI was still pretty surprised. I now realize I will be pretty happy to have another one. However, I still hate being pregnant! But I do count my blessings that I have healthy pregnancies so again, stopping whining. I feel pretty good. Just tired all the time and my appetite has changed, but nothing too much. Were trying to frantically finish this reno before Adeline starts crawling. We don't want too much sawdust and nails on the ground for her to eat:) I am very happy with the kitchen, much easier to cook in and more pleasant for sure. I'll take pics when it is all done. Today is family day, but Preston is working...he is getting paid double time so why not? I think we will go to my moms and hang. Good times.

Pregnant....again

No, I'm not excited. This was totally unplanned. I started the pill 3 weeks ago and I got a huge cold over this past weekend. At the end of it, I started to feel tired and nauseaus so I took a test. It was positive. The doctor confirmed it the next day. I have no idea how far along I am but I have an ultrasound tomorrow. Yes, we did think we were done. Preston has a vasectomy scheduled, so we had certainly planned to be done. Anyways, so here we are. I HATE being pregnant. I thought I didn't want to be pregnant with Adeline, I can't imagine how insane I am going to go being pregnant with this one. Anyways, yay.

who wants to blog?

I don't. I am trying to finish the Twilight series and Preston is ripping out the kitchen tomorrow. I have my hands full. I ordered the granite today, CLayton has strep throat, I'm cleaning up from Kaylas birthday party last night and y furnace broke down the AM.(the filter was soooooo dirty) Busy Busy
