I hope I'm not giving you all a heart attack by actually blogging today...to be honest, the past few months are a bit of a blur. That's what a new baby, a busy 2 year old and an intellectual 4 year old do to me!
Well, obviously since I last blogged, Theo Luke was born. I won't recap the past 2 months but I will tell you that he is starting to smile ALOT now and it is super cute. I'm guessing he weighs about 11 pound...maybe even 12. We'll find out next week when he goes for his 2 month (or three month!) immunizations. He is a very good baby and is really content. He is starting to be a little more work now because he notices when he is alone in a room and isn't happy about it.
The girls are great with him. They are really helpful and we haven't had any issues at all. They give him plently of hugs and kisses but are very gentle.
Hallie is in her second year of preschool. She is loving it and has already learned alot in the first two weeks. This is really good for her because she is constantly wanting to learn new things and she has a great memory...too great sometimes. Here's a little story:
-----Raya has been really busy lately and is causing a bit of trouble now and then. Last weekend when I'd had just about enough she did something and I said (without thinking) "oh sh*t, not again!" I then realized that Hallie was right behind me...ooooppps. I made a mental note that I need to be careful what I say because kids pickup on these things really easily. On Tuesday, Hallie was coloring in the living room and I asked her to color at the table. She asks why and I tell her to remember that her daddy told her she could only have markers at the kitchen table. She quickly replies with "oh sh*t, I forgot!" I thought I heard her wrong so I asked her what she said and she once again said "oh sh*t, I forgot". I told her that the right way to say that word was shoot and she says "oh, I thought I heard you say it like sh*t". So, we get it all figured out that it's shoot not sh*t and put it behind us....or so I thought. Then we were in Walmart on Friday and it was BUSY. I was with a friend and there were 4 walmart workers and two older ladies in the isle. Hallie bumps into something and looks up and says "mom?" and I say "yes Hallie"....."It's shoot not sh*t right mom?" How embarrasing! Everyone laughed and I was pretty red I think.------
We are going to Columbia Falls in October for a week with Adam and Dana and are really looking forward to that. We haven't gone on a holiday (other than Lethbridge--whoo whoo) since before Hallie was born so it will be nice to get away as a family for a little bit. I have to say that I am SO excited about going to Target that I lay awake sometimes thinking about a big shopping spree and all the things I want to buy. I'm disappointed that there isn't an Old Navy or The Childrens Place or Fuddruckers there though.
Hallie starts dance on Saturday which will be good for her (and entertaining for us!). Raya is taking an Arts and Crafts class with me and it's good for her to learn to sit for a minute and focus on something.
Chris is playing hockey every Friday night and into the wee hours of Saturday morning. It's crappy ice time but it's only 5 minutes away and that's a bonus!
I'm working about 12-15 hours per week and trying to keep up with all the house stuff and kid stuff etc. I'm also trying to loose the baby weight and I have to admit, it's not going that great.
Not sure what else to right at the moment. I have to go check on Theo.
