Life

Yesterday I had off from work and the girls were on school vacation. So I told Erik to let them stay home with me instead of going to Daycare. So they did. We had fun. I found this neat site while doing one of my homework assignments the other day. Crayola.com lets you print out free coloring pages for kids. So I printed out some coloring pages, then I sent them out to play for an hour. I tried to keep them busy so that they werent stuck in front of the TV all day. They came in and we played the Wii for a bit. It was nice to spend some quality time with the girls. They said they had fun too.

Then........

last night it was nice too. Erik and I took the girls to McDonald's for supper and then dropped the girls off to their grandparents house and I dropped Noah off to his Grammy and Grampa too. Our friend Desiree had given us tickets to go see a comedy show and so we got to have a night out for the two of us. The comedy show was actually quite good and then after the show Erik and I went out to dinner. It was nice to get out just the two of us, although both of us couldnt help missing the kids by dinner time....lol.....
Called mom this morning to see how Noah was and how he did last night....and she said that he was up every 2-3 hrs but that he was doing good. But she said something that made me smile and really feel special. She said that everytime he would wake up last night he would start out playing in his bed and then he would start saying "mom mmmm mom mma mmm mom." He missed me!!!
Erik got up early this morning to go out ice fishing..... so didnt get to see him this morning...before I went to work. But we will have the kids back to night and life will be back to its normal self. Although It was a nice break and nice quality time with him last night that we dont get very often.
But besides not sleeping, Noah is doing great. We have his jumperoo at the house now...and he is doing quite well in it. In fact lately thats the only place he stays happy for longer than 5 minutes. I think its just the different position that he gets to look around and feel like he is standing on his own.....Mr. Independent!!!! LOL!
But life is good.
My hip has actually felt better the last few days. Although last night walking back into the house I slipped on the ice and caught myself with that leg and today its been a little sore..... I hate winter.
School is good. I missed last wednesday because Noah was having issues with constipation and in pain. Monday was a holiday so we didnt have school. And this wednesday I went but I left early because it was snowing and I wanted to get home before the roads got bad. Glad I left when I did because the roads were already slick and I slid into an intersection and ALMOST got into an accident but didnt. My brother wasnt so lucky and ended up getting into an accident on the way home from work that night. A car was coming head on and he swerved to miss it. The car clipped him sending him into a snowbank and hitting a telephone pole. The car that hit him took off. But Eric is fine, his jeep is totaled but he is ok.
Well....thats it for now. Hope everyone is healthy.
