Karate Kids

I love how Maclain wants to do everything big Sis is doing. So CUTE!

Bad night

Ok...I feel like I am the worst mom ever...Maclain has had a few rough nights sleeping, and I rocked him to sleep last night, put him in his crib and he instantly woke up. I decided not to fight it and after I rocked him the second time let him sleep next to me. I propped up pillows around him, but somehow he pushed them all over and rolled right off the bed. He woke up screaming at 5 on the floor. I rushed out of bed to find him on the floor with a bloody nose.
I cleaned him up and the bleeding had already stopped. He seemed fine and wanted to be rocked again. Finally around 5:30 I got him back to sleep and laid him on the floor so I could get ready for work. When Mark woke him up to get him ready for daycare he asked for the Tylenol. I asked why and he said Maclain looked like he was in a fight with Mike Tyson. When I saw him I wanted to cry...ok I did, most of the way to work. When I dropped him off at Judy's he was thrilled to see a Life size singing Santa and went right to Judy without a second glance at me. I guess I may be more traumatized than he was.

Visiting Santa

Maclain wanted to see Santa and he sat in awe on Mark's shoulders as we waited. When we got up to see him he stared at his beard. When we started to try and get him to smile for the picture he saw me and started to then get nervous. That is why the video is short. But we did get some pictures and he did give Santa a hug before we left. Quinn was very excited to sit on Santa's lap and tell him her wishes. It was a fun time...and now we will wait to see what Santa will bring.

Making cookies and dinner at Gigi's

We made Christmas cookies on our snow day this week! We all went to Kamber and Jamie's to bake and decorate. It was a lot of fun...Gigi, Katie and I were also there but we some how didn't get in the photos that Kamber emailed me. I walked out of my house without my camera that day, so I was at the mercy of other people for pictures. It was a fun day and got me more in the holiday spirit. I will try to add pictures of Gigi and Katie later if I can get Kamber to send me some.

We also were at Gigi and Mel's for supper the night before. Grandma made us some yummy fish and we played the Wii. Quinn decided to use Maclain's blanket to play Mary...so cute! She has such an imagination!

Decorating with Grammy

Last week I had both kids at the doctor and they both had ear infections. After our doctor appointments we headed to Grammy's to help her decorate one of her trees. We also made banana bread and Maclain had to help too. Fun Day!

Frosty time

Kamber had class last night so I had the boys. Everyone has colds and not feeling well so I put in Frosty the Snowman and we cuddled in. I love the way these two are dancing and the way Maclain can say "Frosty". He got much better as the night went on too...he said it over and over for a long time. These two are going to be great buddies.

Happy Thanksgiving!

What an awesome week we had! I loved being off so I could spend time with the kids and Mark. We had a delicious Thanksgiving meal with mom and dad, Katie and Matt, and my Grandma and Mel. Kamber and Jamie were at his parents but came over later that night. My mom decorated the table so beautifully and even gave the kids an early present...their ornaments for the year.
We also took advantage of our time at home by decorating the tree and hanging outside lights up. What a great weekend.
