Glue Ear?

So I took the twins in today to get tubes in their ears for chronic ear infections. They did great. Dr. Stan said that Macy has the smallest ear canals his has ever seen...she's such a peanut! He said that they both had glue ear...thick sticky pus that can only be removed surgically. This is probably why the antibiotics wouldn't clear them up. Sophie has also developed some scar tissue from all of the infections. SO happy we got the tubes!!! Pray that we can start having some sick free days!!

Oh...I really got to see a glimpse of the differences in the girls' temperaments today. Sophie happily went back with anyone who wanted to hold her and she woke up from the anesthesia without a sound...actually as soon as she opened her eyes she said "uh oh"...she's so sweet. Macy however needed the "loopy juice" to calm her so that they could get her back (picture 20 month old peanut drunk...so funny) and she woke up a terror. They couldn't have been more opposite!

Christmas # 1

Last weekend after our big holiday party, Grammy and Grampy gave the kids their Christmas presents. Sophie and Macy were very smitten with their new baby dolls. Molly adores her Tinkerbell doll and Jack will not put the Tag reader down. Thanks Grammy and Grampy...you did good.

TINKERBELL!!

Later in the week we did our annual gingerbread house construction. Jack and Molly had a blast making a huge mess and eating the candy before they could get it on the house!

Isn't she cute?!

GOOFBALL!

SERIOUSLY???

With all of you as my witnesses, if I have to deal with one more booger, snot glob, cough, diarrhea, tummy ache, throw up, teething pain, fever, wheeze or doctor's appointment for any of the above I am going to LOSE MY MIND!!!

Better Late Than Never

In honor of Thanksgiving next week, I decided to finally post some Halloween pictures! Jack's school doesn't celebrate Halloween...instead they have a Parade of Fiction where the kids all dress up as their favorite book character. Jack chose "Skippy Jon Jones" who is a VERY feisty and cute Siamese kitten who thinks he is really a Chiuaua (sp?). If you've never read one of the books, I highly recommend them...very funny! That night we dressed up for Halloween and trick-or-treated with the neighborhood. We ended the night with a pizza party and a Bonn fire.

The family is coming up next week for turkey day so I'll post later!


Jack's AMAZING teachers...Mrs. Mayo & Miss Henning

He's So Stinkin' Cute

Jack gets into the car in carpool today after school. I say, "Hey Buggy! How was your day?" No answer...I turn around and look at him and he's signing. I ask him what's he doing...he finally speaks only to inform me that he is no longer speaking English. From now on he is only signing! Well...okay then! :) He always makes me giggle!

Who's The Wicked Witch?

My daughter...Molly!! She was such a pill for trick-or-treating. Oh wait...the drama started before that when she decided, as I was getting them in their costumes, that she did NOT want to be Dorothy like she had said for the past month! She writhed on the floor and yelled for about 10 minutes until (after I threatened that she would not get to go) she decided to be good old fashioned Snow White! Well fine...time for candy getting! You think she would be pumped up about this right? Well...she fussed and cried until about the last 10 minutes of the hour long process and then proceeded to fuss and whine because it was over. Go figure. Jack had a blast as Bumble Bee the transformer, and our 2 candy corns were a hit. I have to say that Halloween is not my favorite holiday yet! I'll post pix after I charge the battery in my camera!

DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!!

Did You Ever Wonder?

Did you ever wonder what really happens when you accidently leave the pantry door open?
