Ok Ladies-
I am venting! I am having ONE of those days! Reese has been sick for over a week which means no pre-school. Ughh. She is beginning to climb the walls and so am I!
Then, Friday, the day before Valentines Day, Payton gets it. And I mean GETS it! The little thing has been up crying since then. I took them both to the Dr., turns out that Payton's turned into an ear infection. I hate having to give little ones antibiotics, but I just could see her suffer anymore (Or me either).
Finally, I started to get it yesterday. I mean REALLY? Is it not enough that I have been up every night, mulitple times a night with snotty, coughing, crying, puking kids?
So today, Jason heads off to work to do his thing, and I, sick, am at home with my two sweet bundles of joy:) Feeling like crap!
Neither girl will nap, I finally get Payton down and decide to do some sewing, and discover that Reese (who has an interest in my sewing machine) has unraveled half a spool of thread all over my rec-room.
"Ok, breathe Momma", I tell myself! Otherwise you might see me on the nightly news!!!

Valentines Day
Ever had red eggs? I know, they look a little weird, but Reese loved her red eggs and heart shaped strawberry pancake!
It was a quiet day at home with the girls since they were both sick:( It turns out that Payton has another ear infection. How awful! My poor little thing that can't stop crying and sleeping all at the same time!
We did our traditional steak and lobster dinner, just with kiddos this year:) Who knew a few years ago that I would easily fore-go the candles and romance to stay at home with little sickos.
We finished the day with a movie with our new gas fireplace lit! See, there is still a little romance:)

Can you see it???
A few months ago, Jason came home with the "pea brained" idea to build a garden and get chickens! Ughh, another one of my husbands projects! Now, the garden I was on board with the whole time. But chickens??? Really??? We live in the middle of town with 2 kids and 2 dogs. Our neighbors already hate us because our beagles make "noise". What are they possibly going to think about chickens??? So Jason, did research to convince me. He found some really cute chicken coups (a necessity, he knows how to ge me with the truly important stuff), and the health benefits of home grown eggs. I am all about health benefits! So, it took me some time to mull it over, but he finally wore me down. And like he was planning it all along, I am actually now excited to get them. I have even named them! I am going to make you wait for the names though!
So, in order for this whole thing to take place, we had to rip out 3 fruit trees. I know, I know, who in their right mind takes OUT established fruit trees? But here is my reasoning...They didn't produce, they had been badly pruned and were ugly, and they were fruits none of us ate in the 1st place! Good enough for me! Out go the trees and in goes a whole garden full yummy stuff that we will eat!
So here are a couple of photos of the mess from pulling out the fruit trees, but you can see where the garden will be! Can't you just picture a warm sunny afternoon, with my big butt in the air pulling weeds and picking yummy fruits and veggies? And don't forget, there will be 3 chickens running around! (Because we weren't busy enough:))
So, the garden will be all along the fence, and the coupe and run will be in the back corner!
You can see it right? I will have more updates soon!

Eat your heart out John Heder!
Or Juno's boyfriend! I can't decide.
I came downstaris and Jason had this on Payton. How funny! I keep all the ugly color headbands for me for working out and give Reese the cute colors. Well, aparently, Reese had raided my stash the other day and Jason thought he would finally put a headband on Payton (He despises the ones that I make).
Here are the ones that I have made recently. There is a consignment shop here in town that is going to sell them for me. I took some in today, but when I was talking to the owner, she suggested that I think of a name for them. I can't think of anything. Any suggestions???
And last, while I was at that shop today, I came accross these hats that a woman had made. I was so excited that she just happened to of made them in each of the girls sizes! You know me, I LOVE matching:)

Our sunny Sunday
OK, so I have been horrible about blogging! But who hasn't?
Today, Jason and I took the girls for their first trip to the Seattle Aquarium. We went to pay our entrance fee and quickly realized that we might as well get a 1 year family pass because our fee for today only was 1/2 of the year price. So I think that we have found one of our new activities for the next year!
Reese loved it! She even touched star fish in the tide pools, which she never would have done a year ago. I am so proud of her. I think that pre-school is really helping her to come out of her shell:)
And Payton, well she just rode around and stared at everything in amazement. I could tell how much she really liked something because her little legs would get going really fast like she was running to whatever it was!
As it was such a beautiful day, we decided to walk the waterfront and get something to eat at Steamers. Yummy fish and chips and fresh chowder on a cold winter day.
To end our perfect day, Reese finally got to get up close and pet 2 of Seattle's police horses! Now if you don't have any idea of how big this, it would be like a boy getting to touch the bat mobile! Reese just couldn't believe that she got to pet "Cody" and "Charlie". Jason and I were joking that we took her up to Seattle, to the aquarium and out to lunch, and the thing that she will remember the most will be petting the horses for free! So much for our new aquarium membership!
Now back to a work week starting tomorrow! Jason goes to work tomorrow and then me on Tuesday! Oh that is right, I started working again! I worked for this company when I got out of college for 3.5 years untl I had Reese. I then decided to stay at home with her and do the Mommy thing! I have thoroughly enjoyed it and have no idea of what the future brings, but work called and offered me a part-time position that I just couldn't refuse. So far so good. I started last week working Jason's days off, and it went great! We will see how J does with no "real" days off after a few weeks. Right now he is just so excited that I am brining home $:)!!!

Cliff Jumping
While we were in Hawaii in November, we all decided to cliff jump off the southern most point in the United States, South Point Hawaii. The boys went first and then it was us girls turn. I talked like I had big "you know whats", but when it came time to jump, I backed right off being the natural sissy my Mommy taught me to be and to never do anything dangerous. I handed my wedding rings to the nearest person (that was my excuse for not going) and then I quickly walked up and got it over with. Here is a video of Cora, Becky and I jumping. Keep in mind that if I had known that there would be video footage of this day, there would have been no way that I would have worn a bikini. I am not yet pround of my "Two Baby Body", and wore tankinis every other day that we were there. But, considering that I broke my tailbone while doing this, and the fact that I NEVER do anything anywhere close to this, I am going to post it anyways! Note: that is me screaming before I even jumped:)
