School, Braces & Illness

We've had a very busy week. On Monday I started my new job as the assistant teacher for the one year old room at a local daycare. It's great because the girls still get to be with me and we're all having a blast. It's hard work...harder than I thought it would be but I absolutely love it! My coworkers are great and the kids are just too cute for words. Another good thing is that PJ is there with us too so we won't be going through with drawls anytime soon.

On Wednesday I got my braces put on. I've had them before when I was younger but my teeth shifted and I developed TMJ. I was a weirdo and was actually looking forward to getting them put on. Luckily you don't really notice them too much. I actually had to smile really big to make the girls notice. Ladybug came over and took a peek. She touched them, shrugged, and moved on. Butterfly could have cared less. They're still a little sore but getting better everyday. I can already see some changes!

Now us gals all have yucky sinus infections. Were over the fever portion and now just on to the stuffed up, can't sleep, miserable, take off my head with a machete portion. Yuck! Hopefully were all well enough by Monday so that I'm not dragging cranky kids to school with me. *fingers crossed*

We Love To Read!

Picture Tag

I have been tagged to play "Picture Tag" with all of you by my cousin Stephanie over at The Heart of a Hartman.

2) Select the 4th picture in the folder

3) Explain the picture

4) Tag 4 people to do the same

NO CHEATING! (cropping, editing, etc!)



This beautiful photo is of the girls on their 3 month birthday. They look like little rollie-pollies with their chunky cheeks and chubby arms. H2 had just figured out how to play peek-a-boo with her dress and I couldn't keep it down!

I will tag Three Silly Ducklings, The Koon Family, Sophie & Evie, and Austin Tales! I can't wait to see your photos. I'll be checking your sites often.

A Quick Update

I am slowly working on getting some posts done from the holidays. I'll have them up as soon as I can. Slowly but surely.

*EDIT: New post finally up dated 12/16/08!*

We've all been sick around here lately. A nasty little bug came around and has bitten us all. No one was spared! We got back from visiting down south to come back to coughing and runny noses. It's been rough but everyone is getting better now. Butterfly got the brunt of it in our house. She ended up with a ton of junk in her lungs and I had to give her a few breathing treatments to open her up. I absolutely hate when they're sick! It's such an awful feeling.

Of course while all of this was going on the girls have been teething as well. Both girls are now up to 10 (well, Butterfly's 10th is almost through) teeth each. Butterfly has been doing some serious catching up the past two months.

Welcome 2009!

This year the girls and I headed down to south Florida to be with my family for New Years and my cousin Stephanie's birthday. We left Monday night right after dinner and got there at midnight. Traffic was not bad at all. The girls slept the majority of the way which was nice both all of us. One New Years Eve Stephanie had her annual bash. I really enjoyed it and loved being able to spend the time with my two best friends and ushering in the new year with family.

Happy New Year and Happy Birthday Steph!
