Another week is gone

And what a week it has been. Started out okay until Tuesday. Logan woke up after a short morning nap and I had a hard time getting him back down. He woke up from a long afternoon nap very warm and then was up every hour on Tuesday night until 2 am. At that point, he did not go back down in his crib. I got him to sleep a bit, but only holding him. We went to the doctor on Wednesday morning and he has a ruptured ear drum. No clue how it really happened. Poor guy looked so wiped on Wednesday. He slept really well that night as a result of the medication kicking in. I take him back in the beginning of December for a recheck and they will look then to see how it is healing. Hopefully there are no long term effects from it.

Otherwise, just staying busy as usual. I have been struck this week by how verbal Morgan really is. It is almost like talking to an adult at times! Really crazy.

A few pictures from this week. I took the first two when Morgan asked me to take her picture. Anyone who has been around us with a camera knows how very rare it is for her to want to have her picture taken so I could not pass up the chance.

These are couscous pictures. We had couscous for dinner last weekend and I put some on Logan's tray. I do not know how much actually got in his mouth, but he did get it practically everywhere else!

Finally, a silly Dalmation girl showing how she kisses. I think she picked this up from the HBO Baby movies that she watches. One is about classical and modern art and includes the painting called The Kiss.

Moo moo says the cow

We had two field trips this week with MOMS Club. The first was on Tuesday to a fire station. I do not have any pictures and if you know us well enough, you know that getting pictures of Morgan can be difficult at times. I am sure it would have been on Tuesday. Logan did really well on Tuesday's field trip...he slept in the car during the whole tour! My mom came along and sat with him.

Today's field trip was to a local dairy farm. Again, Mom and Logan stayed in the car. Morgan was not sure about everything, but had a fairly nice time. She did not want to see the milking up close, which was okay. She really liked seeing the babies. One of the calves was really interested in her as well. The thing that ruined it was ants...we were having fun time interacting with one calf when all the sudden Morgan started to freak out. She had ants all over her shoes, sock and pants. Thank goodness they were leggings so she did not get very many bites!

At the calf pens- she almost got close enough to get licked.

I felt bad after looking at this picture as I can just make out the ants all over her feet and ankles.

Just a cute picture of the kids when they were playing this afternoon. Do you think they like each other??

I had to head off to the doctor again this week. I had an itchy rash on my arms and legs that started on Halloween. I went to the doctor a week ago and he said it looked like poison ivy and put me on a 6 day dose of medication. On this past Tuesday, I woke up and it had all flared up really bad. They sent me to the dermatologist who said my body was reacting to something and put me back on a steroid for 2 weeks. Hopefully this will take care of it! Poor Logan has been working on some congestion and was really coughing yesterday. After a night with a humidifier, he seems to be some what better. Fingers crossed it is not much of anything as he has some shots coming up in 2 weeks.

Oh yeah, Halloween is over

and I have not put any pictures up yet. I was so concerned that Morgan would not wear her puppy costume. Turned out she could not wait to put it on. The kids had fun trick or treating. They got tired about half way around and were ready to go home. Crazy thing is that all Morgan wanted that day is candy...now, I think she has forgotten about it as she really does not ask for it since we "hid" it from her.

Morgan, Logan & Ethan- Logan was so happy.

I took the kids to a local children's boutique on Halloween morning for a party and to buy them each a pair of Baby Legs for our Christmas trip. Morgan promptly put hers on and wore them for two days until it was shower time. She looks so cute in them. She said hers are not Baby Legs, but Big Girl Legs. :)

Just a cute picture of the two playing together.
