What a week...:-)

So I thought I should try and update all of you because it's been a week! I really have no accuse either because I have been on vacation all week! Oops!
Okay so Monday we got home from Bloomington and celebrated my baby girl's birthday.
She is officially in a toddler bed. Wow! The first couple nights she did fall out because we heard a big thud and then crying. I didn't go down and check because I thought that would just make her upset and she did stop crying right away. I know that probably sounds like I'm an awful mom... We did then put up a side rail so she wouldn't fall anymore. I know eventually we need to take it down but for right now that's how it is. :-)
Tuesday and Wednesday we did yard work....fun, fun! We got the front and side of our house cleaned up. It was weed galore! Oh my Gosh I didn't realize how time consuming that is. We got that looking pretty now with mulch. It looks much better and I'm sure our neighbors appreciate it too! On our little street everyone tries to keep their yard looking really nice. Except us unti this week! Hehehehe......
Tuesday night we also had Ethan's T-ball game. That went pretty good except for the fact that my lovely 2 year old daughter is starting to throw fits and she definitely has a tude already. I already know that I'm in trouble.
Oh question for all of you...So Emma is starting to cry a lot...I mean a lot and I'm not real sure what to do about this. You would think that I would know because I have worked with toddlers for how long now? Yeah but it's different when it's your own. She is a complete angel at school and doesn't fuss at all. At home completely different story cry cry cry...kind of drives me crazy if you know what I mean. Everytime she can't have something she cries, or if I'm not doing exactly what she wants at that very second she will throw a big fit! She also has figured out that if she cries around the boy that he will get into trouble! Naughty naughty right?
Also when we go out places now she will throw a fit if I don't hand her what she wants or if we're eating out she wants to sit in my lap and I don't let her and then she screams and everyone and their mother turns around like I am hitting her or something. Wow! So any suggestions?
Back to the week....Thursday was the children's doctor's appts. Emma was very good. Her ears look perfect! Yay! No more ear infections. Ethan was pretty good except for the fact that he had to get 3 shots and a finger poke. He also has to go to an allergist for testing, go back up to Madison to have his birth mark looked at and is on a new medication for his excema...Wow lots of info. The doctor wants us to take him back up to Madison because he said that the birth mark he has can change pretty frequently and it can get dangerous which how do you think that made me feel! A NERVOUS RECK! Just what I need right? Yeah so back to the finger poke. After he had this done he came out to the waiting room and I looked at him and he turned completely white, starting sweating and I panicked! Oh my gosh he's having an allergic reaction to one of the shots. I called Josh to come and then Josh ran back to get the nurse. She ran out and said Oh boy he's green! What!?!?!? So she ran over to him and started rubbing his back and told him to put his head between his legs. He's was about 2 seconds from passing out! What genes he gets from his father!!!! She said that was only the second time that has happened to her. Oh My! So not only do I have to worry about Josh passing out I have to worry about my boy. If you all remember I had to call 911 last January for Josh passing out on the bathroom floor! That was really scary.
So Friday we headed up to the dells. That was lots of fun! We went to the Kalahari and I thought it was very nice. Our room got upgraded and it was beautiful! It not ony have 2 queen beds but a fire place, a sofa bed, a balgony over looking the outdoor waterpark. It was real nice. The waterpark itself was nice but I do like the one at the wilderness better. The wilderness has a couple different different ones and the one there is just one big one. The nice thing at the Kalahari though is thatthey always had something for kids to do. They were in a coloring contest, a savanger hunt, there was always something! We went out to eat at Pizzarea Uno which was yummy. Ela and Rachel came up on Friday night with their families and that was nice. I was very surprised but Ethan went down one of the inclosed tubes slides with Josh and I thought he would freak out but he of coarse he wanted to go right back up! He will be starting swimming lessons in about 2 weeks so then I won't be as scared when he learns how to swim!
Okay so Friday night when we went to bed Emma decided to wake up about 3:00 in the morning and started saying Hi, Hi, Hi...Oh my gosh! She thought it was time to get up for the day! I had to ignore her eventually and she went back to sleep! It was pretty funny! So Saturday we got up went swimming again and then left to go to Pirate's Cove mini putting. The kids loved that! I would post pics but I still don't know how! I know...It was really cute though and Ethan got a Hole in One! Yea!
After that we went to the outlet up there and the kids got to go to Build a Bear and make a bear and then I went to the Gap and got some summer clothes for Emma. She got a gift card for her birthday and I got 3 pairs of shorts and 2 tank tops. Really cute! After that we stopped at the Disney Store and got 3 pics for Emma's room. The Studio one's? If any of you know what I mean? Anyway we got 3 of them for $12.00 and normally one of them is $30.00. Great deal right? They are really cute.
After that we headed home. Got home about 5:00 and yesterday and today we really haven't done much. I had to go to the mall to exchange a pair of flip flops for Emma because they were to small. Besides that that was pretty much my week in review. Back to work tomorrow and then my in laws come on Friday afternoon for Ethan's graduation on Sunday. That is going to be real sad for me! I can't believe my boy is getting that old already! Anyway I hope all is well with all of you!
By the way when is our next scrap night and at who's house? Until next time...
