DAY 58

We went to church and took the kids to their Sunday school classes. Then went to the main to listen to our pastor. When we went to get the kids, Kai was crying and not happy. She did better last week than this week. I know she will get better as she gets to know the teachers in that classroom. Then getting all the kids, we had donuts and hung out there for a little bit while we all ate.
As we were leaving, we decided to surprise my mom on the way home but Gabe wanted to get a printer so we called mom.. no answer. Got there and mom said sure.. dropped off the older two and took Kai with us since she was napping in the car. Went to Walmart and got a printer for 32 bucks and got some clartin for Casey girl. Got back to mom's house and hung out there for a bit before heading home. Hung out the rest of the day at home.

imikimi - sharing creativity Casey wanted her baby sister in bed with her.. only lasted about 2 to 3 hours before Kai woke up and climbed over big sister and came to me so i can rock her back to sleep.. more like nurse her. :D and put her back to her bed. And Casey was on night 6 of sleeping through the night.

DAY 57

Casey, Kaleb, Kai and, Gabriel and I attended a birthday party for Casey's classmate. Originally it was supposed to be just us girls going but Kaleb cried so I asked the mom if it was okay that my boy come so we all went. After about an hour or so, Gabriel left to go look at printers and get one of Kai's birthday gifts (her birthday is in March).
The older two had fun playing in the bounce house and Casey had fun hanging out with one of her good friends, Cheyenne and the birthday girl, Haley. Kai napped for an hour or so on Haley's bed. They had a pinata and pin the bow on Hello Kitty. There were food and a Hello Kitty cake.. You can see what the theme was for that birthday party. :)
Oh Kai wore her Elmo slippers to the party. :) And it was so cold outside when the kids hit the pinata and grabbed some candies. I had to help Kaleb.

Today Casey had a day off for President's day and Kairi boo woke up with a fever. So much for the play date. So we hung out at home--cleaning and spending time with the kids. My mom (the kids' Noni) came over to visit. While the kids and Noni were outside, a next door neighbor gave us a big bean bag for the kids to play on.
Later on, when daddy went to the market, I was doing circles (cutting them out with my cirlce cutters) for Casey's 100th day project and the kids did some art work.


imikimi - sharing creativity We were looking for his black shoes and only found one and Kaleb found his purple croc and put them on and then we found the other one but he would not change it so I said oh let him...we are just at home.. :)

DAY 51

We all went back to church after not attending for 3 freaking weeks. Kids did good and we moved Kai to the 2 year old classroom She turns 2 in 2 weeks). She did cry at the beginning when we left but i guess she stopped after a bit. One of the teachers is impressed with Kairi because she is half way potty learned. :)

imikimi - sharing creativity mommy and daddy were in the kitchen figuring out dinner. Everyone wanted something different so we were somewhat being short order cooks. Anyhow, Kai was on my chair by the computer ( i normally fold up the chair but didn't do that @@) and she found the cookies and started eating them. A little bird tattled on Kai but we let her have one and gave the little bird one too. The other child didn't want one. And Kai ate another one. :)

Hung out at home and did laundry and did dishes. Yeah very exciting time. LOL

Here I am (in rare photo opportunities) with my two babies (Casey was at school).

anyhow I made pockets with their names for behavior... blue for super star, green for good, yellow for warning and red is either early bedtime, privileges taken away like Wii, computer time or something taken away. Look at the 2nd and 3rd scraps.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!!!

I volunteered at Casey's school today during the Valentine's Day party. It took an hour to pass out the valentine's cards (2 or 3 kids at a time). After the afternoon recess, the kids had cookies and boxed juice. :)


imikimi - sharing creativity Getting Valentine's cards from classmates and friends. :)


imikimi - sharing creativity Snack time after recess.

Gabriel and I went out to dinner. Originally we were going to Claim Jumpers but it was a 30 to 45 minute wait and we ended up going to Hometown Buffet (we went by Friday's and Chili and both looked packed and lots of people waiting so we said forget it) and freaking stuffed ourselves silly. :D Not going to do that again.

Anyhow, we went to Ruby's for dessert after we stopped at Target to get a few things for the kids for Valentine's. :) Kai got 2 sesame street coloring books, Kaleb got robot bowls (2) and a cup to match his existing plate. Casey got a little scrapbook and play gloves (As I am writing this, she is wearing them to bed).

DAY 44

We did not go to church again due to Kai and me coughing. Not fun! I didn't want to be coughing in church during the sermon. Hope we feel better soon. Oh and Gabriel came down with a major headache and had it all freaking day. He wore sunglasses last night and it helped some. he also to turn off the overhead light and turn on the little light and that also helped.


imikimi - sharing creativity Kai was the only kid I took pictures of today. It's nap time for the toddler.
