Project Life week 2...

Hello Monday Jan 16th....today the kids have no school so we are off to the movies over lunch to see the Muppets-good times! Halle gets a stomach ache (we think from the pop corn she ate at the movie) and starts throwing up around dinner time and doesn't stop until 2 am Tuesday morning-now I am more convinced now it is a bug. We had dinner at mom and dad's for roast beef and a game of UNO-Caleb as you know is IN LOVE with games of any kind.

Tuesday Jan 17th...home with one sick little girl. She is never sick so it is more difficult to see her so puny. Caleb is off to school, Sunday is napping and the house is sooooo quiet. Laundry is in abundance so I better sign off! Plus I am trying to get some work done in the quiet and sterilize everything from the germs!

I am keeping up with the picture a day thing and already sent my first batch of photos off for developing---cannot wait to put it together soon!

Last week recap---Monday the 9th-Sunday is eating more and more-there is nothing she doesn't like that I have given her thus far. She has always been a great eater since day 1 of her little 8 month old life. Sleeping has been less than desireable with her, but that has begun to change. I read some things on the internet about sleep and decided it was past time to train her to sleep! I started 3 weeks ago to get her used to all of her naps and nights in her crib and self-soothing, etc. Last week on Wednesday she finally slept through the night. Now we are on our 6th night of full sleep for the little pumpkin. She is doing great and sleeping like a champ! She and mommy and daddy seem to be happier with the change.

Tuesday the 10th---We closed on another investment property. This time we intend to do another fix and flip. We have not done anymore investments here locally for over a year so this is exciting! This one is in the North Park Hill neighborhood and it has so much potential. Easiest closing ever! The whole family is in tow :)


Wednesday the 11th---We tried for the 1st time to have Nana come over to babysit the little kids so I could get some work done. She brought a new playmobil toy that was full of pirates that she had found at the thrift store. Caleb was instantly in love! We got snow overnight and it was a beautiful morning full of white in our backyard and some quiet for me finally-I was super productive in the 3 short hours, but that was exactly what I needed. Nana to the rescue and the kids did wonderfully without me!



Thursday the 12th---another normal day of work/kids/and juggling it all and wearing many hats. Playtime is always in abundance. Sunday is getting sooo close to crawling and loves to hang out on the floor now and again to explore and watch what her big brother is doing.


Friday the 13th---Caleb tries to go outside first thing in the morning since the weather is warming up for a couple of days. He mentions to me "is that a fox mom?" I look out and see a coyote just behind our fence in the open space!! Eeeek!



Saturday the 14th...big GAME DAY as the Broncos (we are huge fans of theirs and Tim Tebow's) are playing in their second playoff game today! We are outside because it is beautiful weather and we are getting things done around the house including working on cleaning mud out of the gutters. The kids are hard at play! Sunday rides in the jeep with her big sister for the first time!



Sunday the 17th---Church in the morning and then ice skating downtown for fun! I still need to upload pics from this day.
