week 27

NCB is still very happy where he is!! Things still have been pretty easy other than I keep getting colds!!!! I never usually get sick like this but since ncb has been brewing anytime the girls get sick I am for sure getting a cold no matter what. The biggest problem is they take turns getting sick so they are not sick too much but I am! The colds I have been getting with him are so annoying. I am congested so badly. It is beyond ridiculous. I really don’t feel bad at all other than the fact that I can’t breath and it’s making sleeping for both John and I very difficult. It’s miserable and I hope so much this is the last one before he joins us. He is still moving all over. Av got to feel him the other day. She thinks it was pretty neat. She talks about him all the time. I think she is pretty excited and ready to be a big sis again.

Remember Me

I don’t get to see many movies anymore. Just one of those things. I did get to go see Eclipse with my girl friends on Tuesday. We had a really nice time watching the moving and getting some dinner afterwards. The movie was good. I’m a little over the series but still had to see it of course. I thought they did a good job with sticking pretty close to the book. Anyway, I think Robert Patterson is just too cute. I had been hearing a lot about the movie Remember Me so last night I got it On Demand while John was playing softball. Camille had not napped yesterday so I had them both in bed right at 8. I never rent movies like that so it felt like a special treat. The movie pulled at many different heartstrings. It was very good. I had no idea the ending so it was a total surprise. I could not believe they could give it the ending they did.

Before I started the movie I BBMed John and told him I had rented a movie and not to rush home from softball. He asked which movie and I just wrote back “Remember Me.” His reply, “ohhhhh he’s so cute.” Making fun of me. How did he know that’s why I rented it? John will always be my Edward though!!!!

cute girls

Today was a great morning with my girls. The kind of morning that just makes you never want to leave them and sad when you do. I got Av dressed in an athletic outfit that she looked SO cute in. It’s something that although the shorts are purple and I thought she would love it she will not wear it bc it’s not a dress. I got her to wear it today though. She had on a cute matching headband and just looked adorable. I asked if I could take her pic. Camille was running around completely naked bc she had leaked through her diaper and loves being naked so I thought I would give her a few minutes. When taking the pic of Av, Camille wanted to be in it. So I got some great pics of them both smiling and looking too cute but C was naked. Hehehehh Finally grabbed Camille and got one of Av. Av by this point was forcing a smile and doing her normal “I think this is a great smile, smile.” I told her to laugh at Camille instead and that did the trick! I got a beautiful pic of my beautiful daughter!!! I went on to get Camille dressed. For school I usually try to pull her front hair up into a little ponytail to keep it out of her eyes. She will not keep a barrette in it and her hair is just so uneven and filling in differently in different spots. On top of that she hates when I mess with it so it’s very difficult. The result this morning was very funny. Avery and I were cracking up but trying to hide that fact bc if C knew what we were laughing at she just would have pulled it out. I had to get a pic of Camille’s side horn. I left it for school. No way I was going through that again.

headband

This is how Camille wears her headbands. Looks like she going to work out.

boy or Camille?

For all of you that say we have two girls I have the pic to prove you wrong. Isn't he a cute little guy? heheheheh This was how Camille came home from school one day. No this is not how she went to school that morning. She had messed up her clothes and this is what they put her in instead. I didn't even realize it was her when she ran up and hugged my leg. I thought it was some random little boy. hehehehe

fish

Monday after nap we took the kids to the pool. We had not been there in over a week so it seemed new to the girls again. Av is doing so well swimming. I just can’t get over it. She uses water wings but otherwise swims on her own. She even puts her face in the water to swim like she sees her friends doing. I think soon she will not even need the water wings. I’m just so proud of her. Camille uses water wings too and free floats in the pool but cannot figure out the kicking thing to make herself go places yet. She gets so frustrated. They both love to jump in over and over again. Av can swim herself back but C gets so mad she can’t. She will learn just like big sis someday soon!

4th of july

Love, love, love 3 day weekends! So nice having John home an extra day and it usually means my parents are in town too! They arrived Sat after nap and the girls took right too them. John and I were instantly chop liver. We had a BBQ at home that night and just played and enjoyed the company. We had told G&PP about all the cute things Camille was saying now but she would not say any of it for them. Seemed a little strange but I blew it off as being tired which made sense since the night before she was up late with the sitter and also woken in the middle of the night to be taken home. By bedtime when I got my first hug since G&PP arrived I noticed she felt hot. Ugh!!! She had a fever. She woke with it on Sunday too. One of my kids is always sick when G&PP come to town. It’s so sad. Anyway with some meds in her she was able to play for a bit that morning. By 11ish my parents decided to take Av to the zoo. It was so hard for them and me to make Camille stay home but it was best for her. I put her to bed early and she slept all afternoon. G&PP and Av had a great time at the zoo, McDonalds and the store. By the time they got home C was fever free and doing well. We decided to have a picnic dinner and try to see the fireworks with friends. After awhile though C was back to not feeling so well so G&PP took her home. They gave her some more meds and ended up having a really nice evening of playing with her. Av stayed with us and our friends to see the fireworks. She wanted to see them so badly. Poor thing tried but just could not stay up long enough for the fireworks. PP came to get her about 9. Broke my heart but I didn’t want her to get sick too so I sent her home. She had ice cream and G&PP all to herself so she didn’t mind much. Monday morning G&PP played with the girls for a long time while John and I cleaned the inside and outside of both cars. They are such a big help when they come. Only good thing about them having to leave is we get our girls attention back!
