DAY 86

When we dropped of Kai in her class, she had this boo boo lip on her face and the teacher said "are you ready" and Kai nodded but with the sad face. Teacher said it's okay mommy and daddy will be back. Kai was okay in Sunday school and one of teachers said that she went potty at snack time. Her face lit up as soon as saw mama and daddy.

imikimi - sharing creativity Half way to Noni, my son had the biggest meltdown of the month.. he wanted to go home, not to Noni's. Well, we went to Noni's first and let the girls stay for a bit and Gabriel took the boy and me home. He was much happier being home today. The last few days he has been going thru a growth spurt and tired.Ugh!

imikimi - sharing creativity this evening, while daddy was making pizza upstairs, the kids wanted to go outside and we let them but told them that they needed to put on socks and shoes. Kaleb put a pair on his feet and a pair on his hands. He is acting like a doggy--more like Casey's dog. :D

imikimi - sharing creativity Daddy made pizza--1/3 was pepperoni, 1/3 was pepperoni and ham, 1/3 was just ham and last 1/3 was no cheese with ham for Kai. We pretty much demolished it. GG ate with us. Gabe also warmed up the garlic bread in the oven and made salad for the adults.

DAY 85

imikimi - sharing creativity the girls are eating popcorn and Kaleb is eating bean/cheese burrito. imikimi - sharing creativity it took Gabriel 4 tries to take a picture of this bird and he went outside to try to take closer picture of it and it flew to the tree. The tree in our backyard died so it needs to be taken down.. don't know when it will come down. Poor tree! Let me see if I can find a picture of the tree when it had leaves and flowers on them.
Kaleb boy reading!

DAY 84

imikimi - sharing creativity My professional senior picture. Taken December 1986 i think.. i know it was during 1st semester of my Senior year.


imikimi - sharing creativity One of my favorite picture taken my senior year.. One of my favorite teachers from my deaf/hard of hearing program took this picture. I believe this one was take a few weeks before graduation.

DAY 81

Not much today... but this afternoon, Kaleb was trying to get Kai to smile or stop crying and she was laughing at Kaleb's funny face and Kai decided to join in on making silly faces.

Before getting the kids in bed for the night, they were playing with the guitars and having fun and I had to take videos of them.. 3 of them.. would have been 4 videos but batteries died so I had to plug in the camera to charge it up. So off to bed for the littles. :)

DAY 80

Casey is back at school for her 3rd trimester. She got her grades in today.. well, it was on Friday when the teacher handed them out.

We got a new toilet.. forgot to mention on Saturday that Gabriel broke the toilet when he tried to get the seat off to put a new one on. Not going to happen because the toilet flooded the bathroom floor so we were without a toilet for two days. Thank goodness for GG's bathroom upstairs when we needed to use it.

Here are a scrap of Kairi :)

DAY 79

12:30 am, Kaleb came to me so I held him for a bit but he didn't want that so he went over to mommy and daddy's bed and lie down then Casey came in and lie down next little brother after trying to get comfortable in daddy's arms. Here is the picture of the older two on the big bed. We eventually took Casey girl to her bed but left Kaleb with us because we didn't want to listen to him cry it out and I was too tired to go stand by his bed until he went back to sleep.


imikimi - sharing creativity
Rainy day today. Missed church because we wanted everyone better and Casey to be better to school on Monday and also there was no one to watch GG so Gabe had to stay home to keep an eye on her. MIL had to take Megan to her swim meet and FIL had to work.

DAY 78

Gabriel got Kai to go to sleep and put her in bed. The older two were in their own beds, going to sleep. About 830 pm (half an hour after Kai was asleep), I checked on the kids to see if they were all asleep and I saw that Casey climbed in bed with his baby sister. Well...... 4 hours later --go to tomorrow's blog :)

DAY 77

Today Daddy took Casey to school and she seemed fine to me. Well, half an hour later C's school nurse called us and said that she threw up and we needed to pick her up. :/ Been a miserable day for sweet Casey girl. Thank goodness it is Friday so she has the weekend to feel better for Monday. Today was her full day after having minimum days all this week.

Here is my problem with this child. Casey is back to twirling her hair and is getting them in knots and pulling them out and creating a bald spot. She has Spring pictures on Thursday at school. Some of her hair on the left side has short length unlike her longer ones. I think I will do a trial run of curling her hair on Sunday or Monday night.

DAY 70

Friday, March 11th, Kaleb got the pink eye when he woke up. GG came home today--was supposed to come home yesterday but had very low blood pressure. Gabriel and his father went to pick her up. FIL wasn't very patient with his MIL (grrr). Please be more patient with the elderly.

imikimi - sharing creativity Casey and Kaleb wouldn't settle down for a bit and after listening and looking at a book (read along), they finally cuddled up and went to sleep. This what I found when I went to check on them. The bottom feet are Casey's and Kaleb's are at the top. :) They didn't last long up there. Kaleb woke up several hours later and slept with daddy and me. Casey slept through the night on Kaleb's bed.

DAY 69

Thursday, March 10th, Casey went back to school. Plans for GG to come home today. Only one picture.


imikimi - sharing creativity Casey used Kairi's mickey blanket as a hammock and put Mickey in it. :)

DAY 68

Happy 2nd birthday, Kairi!!

We did not go out for her birthday like we do every year on the kids' birthdays like to Chuck E Cheese or Hometown buffett. We owe her one soon. Casey is home from school with pink eye and Kai got it today. Blah! We gave her one of her gifts today.. the rest she gets at the party. She got a stuffed Mickey Mouse holding a blanket.

DAY 67

Tuesday.. March 8th.. Casey's school called my mom because my landline phone wasn't working properly (think needs a new phone) and she called me and said that we needed to pick up Casey. She has pink eye. :/ Casey was not happy about being taken out of school and Daddy took her to the doctor's at 4:15 and some eye drops for the pink eye. Has it in both eyes and had a cold. @@ She was pissed at having to miss school the next day. But it has to be done. There goes her perfect attendance for the 2nd trimsester. Will try again for the 3rd trimester.
