Week of April 16th, 2012

Why? Why? Why??!!! is my nineteen month old waking up at 5:30 every morning like clock work? Not just like her little internal clock is set that way, it's almost like an outside noise or something just started waking her up, I dunno, but it's driving me NUTS. It's like the same time, by a couple of minutes EVERY day! Oh well, besides being a LOT tired this week, not much went on. Monday I braved the grocery store with both girls. I went in armed with suckers for Addy :) Hailey went to dance, we ran a couple of errands, went to the park to discover it is too hot to go to the park, swam in the baby pool and did mom school with Hailey who is doing excellent working on her numbers. I had ordered a doll house off of Ebay that I played with when I was young, called Oh Jenny. Hailey has been waiting for a week for the UPS guy to drop it off. It finally came Monday and she was beyond excited. I had so much fun opening it and showing it to her, she played with it for a couple of hours. Tuesday Hailey had school and afterwards we went to the mall with a friend. Addy had a doctor appointment to get her ears checked, but everything was fine. Wednesday and Thursday Addy kept running a fever and was super cranky and still waking up early, so I took her to urgent care and they said she had ear infections, go figure. Hailey got to pick the first of our cucumbers from the garden, and was so excited. Then I found out that she had gotten into the extra cucumber seeds and planted them all over the backyard, silly girl. We will see if they actually grow. Friday was a great day. Addy was feeling better and we went to visit Nana & Papa in the morning. Saturday we got up and washed the car, then dropped off the kids and Nana & Papa's house while Jaren and I went out to lunch. Hailey got to play with three friends, one who invited her over to play in a bounce house water slide. Something really cool happened, I went to Albertsons for strawberries and when I checked out they said I won a 32 inch tv! I couldn't believe it, it was awesome! We ended the night with a UFC party at our house. Sunday we woke up and went to the park to feed the ducks and then went to visit grandma and grandpa Petersen. Looking forward to next week with hopefully no sicknesses at our house and kids sleeping in until at least six o'clock!

Favorite things the girls said: Hailey asked me "mom, is the common house fly real?" She is so funny. Addy is talking so much, some things she says are "there it is, oh gosh, oh geez, mamma, dadda, Hay Yee (Hailey), baba, gaga, up, pease, welcome, yes, right there, ouch, ruff ruff. We love trying to get her to talk.
