what are you going to be for christmas?

sadie is going to be a turtle!!!
i will update later with pictures
having issues once again with the computer and sick people
it never seems to end at this house
i suppose we have done a really good job at teaching the kids to share
anyway.....
silas and sadie are singing frosty the snowman daily if not hourly
silas repeats everything you say it is wonderful!!
until perhaps friday....enjoy the days.....snowy as they may be...and if you have been watching cleveland did get a little (ok a lot) of snow!!!
but for sadie and silas this was the best and most exciting thing to ever HAPPEN!!!!

date night 2010!!!!

ok i know no one really really cares about our date night but i feel that this story will fill you in a little more about how our life really works.....(or so it seems to work)
yes we went out on a date
but before we went.......(mind you all i am still dealing with the residual effects of strep)
we took bubby to the dr. to get his throat/ears checked out
poor little guy gave himself a mild/minor concussion in the waiting room by running into a bench but good thing we were at the dr. who said he will be find kids are resilient little people
no strep but he has a double ear infection
so...off we go to the movies
yes we took 2.5 hrs to do something for ourselves
i know it is horrible but after 1 yr of no date night it was nice to sit
it was nice to hear a movie
it was nice not to yell "share" and explain the importance of sharing
when we picked the kids up from their play date
bubby was chasing a little girl with a big smile on his face laughing
sadie was watching rudolph the red nose reindeer (the classic) and chatting with her little buddies
it was a goodnight
took bubby 2 minutes before he was fast asleep in the car......sadie (well we think they feed her a bunch of cookies) was up talking for another 45 minutes about how her and this little girl played and took their shoes off and.....
so here we are back to monday
we have snow coming from every direction and it is quiet
we are waiting for x-mas and looking forward to snuggling with some hot chocolate, books, and popcorn!
before you know it the trees will have little green buds and we will be swimming at the beach
i am going to leave this short since i know no one really wants to read......

the mothership was knocked down!

so when some cute snot nosed little kid from daycare (and they are not your child) hands you a toys and say "was tha?" don't do NOT take the toy...because if you do you may end up with STREP!!!!
yup you heard it here the mommy went down
and boy did she ever
so after almost a week of not eating, moving, drinking or anything i am finally back on my feet (granted not for very long) but i can speak now
and i can write
but even when i was down i was taking a few pictures here and there
today we have a winter wonderland of white!!!
i love days like this...it is so quiet (even in the hood)
we are getting ready for x-mas the best we can which at this point is just trying to stay healthy
sadie is really looking forward to x-mas and we remind her on a regular basis that if she does not behave santa's elves may be putting her on the naughty list
bubby repeats everything so beware
though sadie said double drat the other day....i really need to talk to the people at her school she comes home saying some interesting things which honestly i have never ever said "drat" and i don't think i have ever heard aaron say it....so once again i blame strep and interesting phrases on her school
aaron and i are still planning on going on date night
though date night might have a third party
he is cute with big round blue eyes.....yup...the bubby...not sure if he is getting the sick or not but fingers crossed he will be well.....

so that is all for now i will keep you posted
i was going to add more pictures but honestly i am too too tired you will get more maybe later tonight or tomorrow
wishing everyone healthy pink cells
wish us luck on date night 2010!!! i may actually talk to aaron in a complete sentence!!
