Keri's "house"

I love that the girls are using their imagination when they play. Keri made her own little house in the corner of our living room. She had so much fun gathering toys from her room, using blankets as beds, and using the furniture as her walls. I love to see her face light up when she thinks of another idea and runs to her room to get another toy. She used the coffee table as her dining room table and placed her chairs around it. She even used a pillow from the couch as her television. Its the small things that we do at home that are so much fun! Here are a couple pictures of the house she made last weekend:

Playground Fun

Never a dull moment....

Well, I just got home from the Emergency Room with Keri. Right at bed time she decided to put a bead (from a broken bracelet) in her ear. She shoved it in even further when she tried to get it out. When she first came to me she told me that Kendal put the bead in her ear.....yeah right! I tried to get it out with tweezers, but it was stuck perfectly in the canal and I was afraid I would push it in even more.


I called Kyle (who was at work) and he said he would meet me at the ER. So I loaded both girls in the truck, dropped Kendal off at Stephanie's house, and met him there.....all at 9:00 p.m. The doctor was not sure if/how they were going to get the bead out without damaging her ear drum. Tweezers would not work because the bead is perfectly round and hard to grasp. They tried to numb the ear with drops and suction the bead out, but that did not work. Finally, they used a syringe to put warm water in her ear and the bead just floated to the surface. I am so glad they were able to get it out without having to refer us to the ENT.


OK, I'm off to check on the girls.....I just put them to bed at 11:00. Tomorrow morning should be lots of fun! Here are a few pictures I took with my phone:

Sick Girls

This is what my bed looks like tonight:Both girls are sick. We tried to go to daycare today, but were sent home when we got there. Keri had a low-grade fever this morning and was complaining of a sore throat. I thought Kendal had another sinus infection (icky nose, cough, low-grade fever, fussy). When we got to the doctor both girls' throats were red. The swab test confirmed that they both have strep....doesn't that sound fun?! I made a quick trip to the store to pick up their prescription and stock up on sprite, popsicles, jello, and oatmeal. We spent the rest of the day napping and laying around. They barely ate dinner then both curled up in or bed. We will be home tomorrow. I hope they start to feel better soon!

Congrats, ABC...That was horrible!!!!

Really? I watch this crap?! I thought about deleting my previous post, but thought I would humor Kyle on this one. He was right this time.........

The Bachelor Finale Tonight!

I am sooo excited about watching The Bachelor tonight. Kyle can't stand it! He gets so annoyed when I watch this show because it's fake, the girls are sleazy, they never stay together......blah, blah, blah! I don't care....I am really into this season. This show is supposed to be "The most dramatic finale in Bachelor history." That guy just cracks me up because he says that about every episode. I wonder which girl he will choose.....we will find out soon!

This is what happens when you skip your Sunday nap...
