Christmas Time's a Comin

The tree is in, the gifts are wrapped and the Elves have shown up to make sure we are all be nice and not naughty. Now its time to get ready for a birthday party!

Thursday Ponderings

Today my mind is  jumping all over the place from how the keys on the keyboard is are really tough and sticking down after I spilt juice all over it the other day. Way to go Marlynn haha. Then they jump to a year ago when I was nine months pregnant and so jelous that everyone else with babies due Christmas day were having them the 16th. My little angel didn't show her face till the 23rd...and I thought I wanted her to wait till new years haha, I would've been miserable. So now her birthday is a only a week away and I need to get to thinking what to do and I need to get a yearling picture took and into the paper AHH!

OH well, at least I now offically have my Christmas shopping done, except for a gift for Koda, I can't really do that with him around though so that will be tomorrow I get it. Now I just need to wrap my gifts. Hey we also got our Christmas tree up last night, with can you believe it...kid safe ornatments...I was told they were impossible to find...haha...not true, go to the dollar store, cheap stuff is kid safe. :O Litterly happy! Anyways now its time to finish the laundry and get my living room decluttered from all the decoration boxes and baby parafinila that I won't need for...4months. AHH!! 4 Months and I'll have three...I'm going to go hyperventelate....

Sanatation and Santa Clause

Today Daisy and I went to our Ward Breakfast Christmas Party. (I think they forgot to schedule the chapel in time, but who knows our ward is VERY unconventional too). It was a lovely breakfast potluck we had, they had a good play and nativity story...then the Jolly Fat Guy came. Daisy was excited and wanted to see him, but the moment we got close and she realized she had to sit on his lap, she pulled a trick I did all my younger years and started bawling. Guess she's more like me then I know!

Miss Page was to come with us too, but yesterday fate dealt us a nasty hand and she now has pink eye! Do you want to hear the tale? I have to write it down for my girls to read back on one day, but I caution you! It is a NASTY tale and you have to have a strong stomach to handle it.

It was about 1:30 in yesterday afternoon when I noticed Page had mucus type stuff around her eye. I thought maybe it was something to do with the cat we were just around at my friends house and was just going to pay attention to it. Around four I was at my mom's school just getting ready to go, when I noticed that Page's eye was worse and it was even a little red. First thing I suspected pink eye. My niece and nephew had it last week, so we have been avoiding them and the house they live at like the plauge. Well Monday my brother in law  (Ben) and nephew (Tanner) were at down here at the farm helping with fence and all, later that afternoon I heard them come in the house. I ran up to the living room and I see Tanner has his shoes and coat off like he's coming in to stay. I asked is he still contagious? Ben told me no. I told Ben that if I had pink eye show up at my place I was hunting him down.

Well now we jump back to Friday...and my daughter has pink eye. I have the ointment, eye drops, warned my friend about it and started washing and sanatizing everything I can think of. I also keep thinking how did I get this???? It's been four days since we'd seen Tanner. (Oh yes I had already called and given Ben a hard time). So I got back to thinking over the course of the day if there was anything at all that she could have gotten in her eye to cause it...and my mind stopped on an event from that morning about ten.

Here is the nasty part.

I was in the shower, hurrying to get ready so I could get to my friends house and we could do our December craft. My girls were playing in the hallway and door of my room. When I got out, I could hear Page coughing on something. I looked at her and she had brown stuff all over her hands and face. I kept thinking where did you get the chocolate? Especially chocolate that looked like that. I couldn't figure it out. I then looked at Daisy and she was wearing panties, cause thats what she wanted, and she had poop all down her leg and in her panties. Page was eating Daisy's poop... GROSS!!!! So I cleaned them up, bathed them, clean the carpet,  cleaned their clothes, and the whole area it was in and we went on our way. Thinking nothing of it.

Well like I said fate had another thing in mind for I have pink eye to deal with now and our house is on total sanizatation alert. Seriously!! I don't want any of the rest of us to get it. I know that this is just one of those things that happens when you have children and really there is nothing I can do about it but just deal with it. I am happy to say that Page's eye looks MUCH better this morning and yes I've called and let Ben off the hook. But for now I'm in lock down mode and chlorox and lysol are my best friends just like the washing machine that I'm afraid is starting to leak.

Hope your weekend is much better!

I've Been Thinking

I really should do something productive today....But I think I'll sit and read a book. Yep

Did I talk to soon?

So the moment I posted my last post I walked into my bathroom and this is the site I see. Daisy with foundation all over her hands and legs. I don't even use this type of foundation all that often...why do I even have it? Well I guess I know now...to remind me that I have a two year old in the midst. So being a mom I've learned that plans must be easily changed and adapted...thank heavens this one was easy to clean up. Both girls got a bath. They loved me and I got the bathroom cleaned and her cleaned, again, and probably not for the last time today. :)

Good Day

Today has started off good and by the way its going it should end good. I'm happy!!

Going Visiting Teaching today.

A Day of Skirts

Today I got three skirts sewed. My plan was to get two finished for my nieces that we give to for Christmas...but now that I have them done, and Daisy has already tried one on...I may just keep them for her. I was also able to get one made for Page. Is that selfish of me to keep them for my girls? I originally bought the material to make skirts for my girls, but then later on decided to make them for the nieces. Problem is, I don't know if their mom will have them wear them. Whereas I know my girls will wear them....hmmm....I don't know what to do...What do you think? I think they turned out really cute!

Isn't it amazing how two skirts can look so different even will all the same fabric's used in them?

Oh and can you believe it...its already December!! Crazy. In 23 almost 22 days my baby girl will be a walking one year old...snifff...so fast.

**Edit** I've decided to give the skirts to the nieces. I think they will love them and have a lot of fun with them! Plus they are so easy to make, I can make Daisy tons! **
