4/10/11 - Mish-Mosh Sunday

Today was a pretty busy day around our house. The girls didn’t sleep well last night. It seems like Olivia has been having bad dreams or something, because she wakes up yelling or crying a lot. Sometimes she’s not even really awake. It’s weird, and kind of scary. She is teething…one of her 2nd molars is FINALLY out (hopefully the rest aren’t far behind), so that could be bothering her too. Amelia had a pretty rough day. I got a good peek into her mouth today and there is a nice big hole next to her current tooth, so tooth #2 should be popping out any time now. Hopefully she’ll be a happier camper then!

In the end, we were all up pretty early today. That wasn’t so fun. But, the sun was shining and it was actually HOT today, not just warm, HOT. Christian took the plastic off all the windows and we opened some up and finally started airing out our sick-germ-filled house. YAY. To be honest, it got so warm in the house the thought of turning the air on did cross my mind. Only in Minnesota are you wearing winter coats complaining about the winter that won’t end one day, and considering air conditioning the next. Ha. We did end up surviving without the air, and once the sun started setting, it cooled off and it was just perfect!

I finished laundry…all the clothes, all the bedding, so that should help with some of the germs too. I managed to get the girls’ clothes packed up for daycare and get everything else put away. I took down Amelia’s bassinet…away to storage it goes! We were actually able to get them to take a nap, at the same time, in the room together today, so we’re making progress people! I also managed to get all of the dishes washed and the kitchen cleaned up. I was on fire!

Christian took Olivia and Chuy outside to play for a while, and then later took Olivia over to his parents’ house for dinner. I was supposed to go too, but there was just too much to do…I wasn’t expecting to lose 3 days this week to illness, so the chores sure stacked up! Amelia was attached to my hip today, which was exhausting enough, let alone all the chores!

Speaking of Amelia…she can officially stand herself up from sitting, unassisted! Seriously, you have to see it. It’s so funny to see her tiny little self standing up like a big girl. The best part is she’ll look at you; waiting in anticipation for cheers and clapping, then laughs her butt off when you do praise her. Even better, Olivia runs over and says “soooooo big” and praises her too, which is too cute for words. Amelia is getting better and better at cruising the furniture, and just getting more mobile each day. I’m really wondering if we’ll have steps before she turns 9 months!

So, that was pretty much our days. Lots of cleaning and chores and not so fun stuff. Today’s picture is of our little beggar, sneaking a bite or two of Olivia’s lunch.
