Playing a little catch up....here's 15 RANDOMS

1. I have officially decided I hate being in the hospital. 3 times in the last week, I tell ya!

2. Austin has suddenly got the suck up bug in his head. Sometimes it cracks me up, and sometimes I Just have to say Austin...quit sucking up. If he gets something he wanted, he will say mommy I love you. Or like today, you're the best mommy ever! On the flip side it's sweet and his tantrums are starting to fade out with a little boy who is wanting to help more.

3. Matt is home sick today with the achies. It seems like a never ending thing in our house these last few weeks, and my house is starting to show it!

4. I need some ideas of meals to freeze up for when this little bundle does arrive. We finally got that freezer we bought 3 months ago plugged in, and now I have some room to breathe!

5. Alyssa as sweet as she can be, is definately starting to hit the terrible two's. Yesterday she had her 2 year check up and is in 50% for height. I knew she was catching up to her big brother!

6. We have tickets to see the Lion King in Seattle this weekend, and we are hoping and praying for everyone to be feeling well enough to go. If not we might have to hand on our tickets and hotel to someone else :(

7. I am thinking about hiring a teenager to come in and help "play" with the kids a couple days a week. Just so I can get a little break, and maybe catch up on some of the things I haven't been able to do!

8. My dear little girl had a pretty rough night, and of course is still asleep at 10:15 in the morning. However, I had to get out of bed and go get Austin this morning so mommy is WIDE eyed and not so bushy tailed. We were at the hospital until 10 last night.

9. TURN BABY TURN!! Praying for baby to turn.

10. I have several prayer requests up my sleeve, and sometimes think it's easy to forget all of the things I need to pray for. I have been trying to write everything down in a binder besides my bed, and add to it daily. However, I think I am going to start putting some of my prayer requests on here......

11. Valentines Day was pretty much a bust for us. I gave Matt his little card and box of chocolates, and then had a nice evening planned. That got turned upside down as I stayed in bed most of the day, and then ended up in Labor and Delivery that night. He did the dishes for me, and to tell ya the truth, that was the BEST Valentines Day present. It's amazing how your idea of gifts change over the years...lol

12. We still have several projects to finish around the house. Trim, doors, some painting, some concrete work. We thought the weather was starting to warm up so we could knock some of it out before we add another body to the family. Things aren't looking so good!

13. Beau Beau came for a visit this weekend and stayed the night with us. He is such a cute little booger, but he refused to go potty outside! Or to walk on his leash for that matter....if we would have a fence (or a yard) no problem....poor Beau Beau

14. Austin is getting quite independent lately. Yesterday I sat down for a quick minute and heard him getting into something in the bathroom. So obviously I got up and checked on him. He said that he had to go potty, and didn't quite make it. So he used tissue to put it in the potty.....well it was all over the potty. The joys of being a mommy. I stripped him, made him go wash his hands upstairs in his bathroom, and politely said I know you're a big boy, but sometimes you need to ask for mommy to help you.

15. Playhouse Disney this weekend was rather interesting! We went out to lunch with Shana and Jeremy which was fun! And then off to the 1:30 showing (the people setting this up must not have children) Austin did fabulous! Alyssa on the other hand did great for the first half, and not so great the second. She was exhausted. We were able to buy tickets through Chelsea and sit in the Pepsi Suite. She also saved our bum and gave us her parking pass where we were able to park in the VERY FRONT ROW. THANK YOU
