Night 2 down, a million more to go.

Well, we survived 2 days of three boys sleeping in one room, with a few bumps. It all started on Friday afternoon, they went down for their nap as usual, but the way I configured the cribs made it so Wyatt could climb out of his crib. I would hear their door slam and drawers open. I would go in and find Wyatt pulling out all of the clothes from their dresser. So I move Trevor's crib and they get a snooze in. Flash forward to bed time and they stay up 2 hours talking to each other, Landon of course is the ringleader. Pointing and jabbering at the other two. Then after the boys fell asleep, he was rolling around, laughing and squealing. The first night had Russ and I going in for ninny (pacifier) replacement 4 times. But they surprised us by sleeping in until 10AM. Bonus!! Nap time day 2 was a little more exciting. Stupid Mommy left an ink pen on their dresser and somehow Trevor got it and proceeded to write all over the wall by his crib and then hand it off to his brother Wyatt, who started to write on the wall by his crib. G-Ron caught him before he could do total damage. But we have some nice artistic walls now. Last night was my first uninterrupted night in awhile. They fell asleep fairly quickly and I didn't hear a peep out of them until 8:30AM. Even then it was just Landon talking to himself, so I let him stay in there until 9:30.
So operation move Landon has gotten off to a pretty good start. There is still so much to come. So I will take this small victory and run with it.

Preschool Here She Comes...

So I broke down and signed Aurora up for Preschool this fall. Let's just say our pocketbook and Daddy aren't happy, but Aurora is excited. I figured she needed a change of scenery a couple days a week. She needed to be around kids her own age and learn a little discipline. So we toured the school and Aurora was sold. She can't wait to start. I am not sure how I am going to get everyone ready in the morning, but we will work it out. It is right up the street, so that helps tremendously. Homeschooling is still in play and probably will start, depending on our financial resources, 2nd grade. I really think this will be good for her. She is a very strong willed little girl, so I am hoping this will help her out. I am not really in to horoscopes but her and Landon are Leos and they are filling the description to a T. So we will have our hands full with these 2. Leo Babies
I also find it weird that the boys were actually born under the twins sign. Very insteresting. OK so I totally changed subjects and wandered.
So Aurora will be starting Preschool in September, 2 days a week for 2 1/2 hours a day. I am excited to see how she takes to it.

Where O Where Does Little Landon Go?

The time has come, once again to have our bedroom become baby free. Here's hoping it sticks this time. The boys were out of our room at 2 months and boy was it great. Now Landon is starting to overstay his welcome. But the problem lies in where to put him. I asked Aurora today if she wanted him and she said, "No mommy, He will wake me up and then I will have to wake you up to get him out of my room." That is definitely something I want to avoid. He does sleep through the night, but he moans in his sleep a lot and sometimes gets up in the middle of the night and talks to himself. So why not just put him in with Wyatt and Trevor? Well they can be bad influences and I am sure there probably wouldn't be much sleeping going on. But this seems to be our only option, that and winning the lottery and adding on to the house. So I think we will be brave this Memorial Day weekend and give it a shot. The thought of 3 cribs in one room isn't very nice, but you do what you have to do. We need wall cages like they have for animals, that would do the trick. So wish us luck with the room switch and winning the lottery.

Health Update

Today marks the 1 week period since Aurora started the sickness madness. Aurora really took the brunt of the stomach bug. She couldn't keep anything down for 2 days and needed a trip to the doctor. She was fine for 2 days then started vomiting again. Now we are back on fine and hopefully we will stay that way. Trevor vomited once on Wednesday and was fine, then again on Friday morning and was fine again. Wyatt had a few messy diapers, but he seems to have faired the best. Russ ended up missing a few days of work to help me out. So goodbye overtime pay. I was waiting to get it and instead ended up with a nasty cold. I guess that is what I get for not taking my vitamin D for awhile. I believe it could have been worse, but we were very fortunate. Hopefully we will never have to go through that again (but I am not holding my breath). So we are slowly getting back on track today and hopefully by the end of the week we will be in the swing of things. I will leave you with a photo of Aurora on her sick bed. My poor little Princess.

Warning Gross Content!!

It all started yesterday when Aurora threw up after breakfast. I was certain it was the eggs she just had, because it has happened once before. Well fast forward to right now and I am on my 4th load of laundry of soiled blankets and clothing. Trevor is throwing up, Aurora is throwing up and Landon is going out the other end. So three kids that don't know how to use the toilet or throw up in a bucket. Aren't you just jealous!!! If I get out of this without getting sick myself then it will be a miracle. The house just has a sick smell and I can't pinpoint where it is coming from. We have been pretty lucky, as this is the first time we have had a sickness go through the house. This is the first time Trevor has been sick (poor little guy) but you wouldn't know it because he is still tooling around the house happy as a clam, only stopping to upchuck. Aurora was going about the same way, but in the last couple of hours it has hit her and she finally went down for some rest. Landon is happy too. But honestly I would rather have them not feel good, so they would rest and their messes would be contained to one area. Oh well. Hopefully this bug leaves as fast as it came, but considering Aurora is still throwing up over 24 hours later, I have a feeling it will be around for awhile. I could use some reinforcements but I don't want to expose anyone to this awful bug. And in all fairness I wouldn't be the first to raise my hand to help someone clean up vomit and diarrhea. So please say a little prayer for our family.
