So the theme for the week seems to be grody. I know, you probably haven't used that word since like fourth grade, but really, its a great word to describe my week. First off, there is Micah who has peed the bed, not once, not twice, but three times this week and I know he is doing it on purpose now. The first time was an accident, but I think he liked the attention he got from it, so he did it again. Finally, this morning he was up talking for some time before we told him to come out of his room. Just then he tells us, "I peed." I go in there and there is hardly anything on the sheets, but he is soaked. He must have stood up and peed after he had woken up. I am so annoyed with all the laundry I am doing right now. He is having to deal with not having blankie with him for his naps because he is being washed, so that might get him to stop, but for the time being, we are going back to wearing Pull-ups at night! Now, on to Brooklyn, who won't be out done by her brother. It seems as though she has relocated the Bellagio fountains into her mouth because she has thrown up on me FIVE times this week. The first time was a mess and gross and took a while to clean up since Chad was at work. I had myself, the carpet and Brooklyn to clean. Then last night, wow, she really put on a show. Carrie, you just missed it! She was changed, and I had fed her and she was drifting off to sleep when she burped a little and then up starts the fountains. She spewed three times and there was so much, it literally made a pool in my lap! Luckily, I had a blanket nearby to cover most of the couch. Nasty, nasty, nasty! Chad helped with the clean up and I couldn't help but laugh. What else was I going to do, cry? I was covered with throw up and Chad was attempting to hold her at an arms leangth with his shirt over his nose and holding his breath. I thought I was going to pee my pants! Well, we are pretty sure it is just her formula, so we switched it and are hoping for the best. Poor thing. We are all pretty tired around here. Me of laundry, Brooklyn from throwing up, Micah of not having blankie, Chad of having to deal with a frazzled wife and my washer of all the loads of laundry its doing!

In other news, I got crafty. I spent much of my day yesterday cutting heart after heart after heart to make my Valentine's garland. I think it turned out pretty cute. I love getting crafty. Even if it is just simply paper, paint and ribbon, things like this help to take the stress away. I think I might some more things to make for V-day!

Wow, that is a tough week, hopefully you have a night out with the girls planned for this weekend.

I'm SO bummed I missed that! :) Honestly, I had a really great time hanging with you and watching the babies and Micah play. So fun! More to come, I hope!

Oh the joys of parenthood. It's not all that it's cracked up to be. ..yet I wouldn't change it for the world. At least it won't last forever. So in the meantime, take Tanya's advice and get out of the house without kids!! You might even miss the spit up and wet blankies by the end of your night out on the town..I said might.

Sorry you have had such a yucky week! Hopefully the new formula will help! Your valentines garland is sooo cute! I love it, before I read about it and had just seen the picture, i thought... that is so cute.. I have to have one , where do I get it? You are so crafty! Mine for sure would not look that neat.

I love the garland! Next time invite me over so I can learn to make a cute craft, too. I love crafts.

I am thinking of having a lady come over to my house to do cake decorating. She has a blog called My Sweet and Saucy and she does lessons, etc but will come to your home. Wouldn't that be fun? I think she provids all the materials, I just have to provide the participants!
