First day jitters

So tomorrow is Catherine's first day of Kindergarten. She is nervous and excited. I am very excited but mostly nervous but it has nothing to do with her and her day. It has to do with the bus and if I will make it home on time to get to see her getting onto the bus for the first time ever and off to her first day of Kindergarten. So please send a few prayers our way that everyone gets into work tomorrow morning when they are supposed to and earlier would be great so I can get on the road right at 7:00 and hopefully have a smooth ride back home and hopefully be back at home no later than 7:45!

Peace and Quiet

Christian is sitting in his highchair eating a banana and Catherine is sitting at the table eating a peach! Mommy is typing at the computer! Wish we could stay like this all day. But as I hear the bowl from his banana drop on the floor I know it is done. Oh well, my guess is I would run out of things to type and read anyway.

What happens when I leave the diaper cream in Christian's reach you ask?

Well even though you might not have asked here is the story anyway. I regret not grabbing the camera before cleanup.
While organizing Catherine's school clothes, the kids were in the living room alone. No big deal except I left Christian's diaper cream (triple paste = very thick white cream) in his reach. Next thing I know I have Catherine screaming to me that he has the cream all over him. I run to the living room to find Christian's leg and hands covered in cream. Also the couch has a few new white spots on it.
I am proud of myself. I did not yell at him, after all it was my fault for leaving it there, I just simply laughed and said OH MAN the whole time I cleaned him and the couch up, which were not easy tasks!

Kindergarten Orientation

Tonight at 5:00! Maybe I will get the insight of why they insist on such a short day for these kids. I really wish I lived in a town that did full day or could afford to do catholic school for the first year.
Oh well.

Christian finally better?

So after the 2 puking incidents he had many many diapers of diarrhea. However that seems to be over and he may be sleeping everything off now. Let's hope Catherine does not get this and if she does let's have her be done with it before her first day of school please!

Warning this will be gross, especially to banana haters!

So can my kid tell the future or what?
Here is what took place less than 10 minutes ago.
Christian was laying on the floor in here while I was online chatting with a friend. I asked him if he wanted to go to bed or for a walk. He chose walk. I get him up and I go to say to Catherine shut the tv off because we are going for a walk. She replies with What? Christian threw up? I said NO WE ARE GOING FOR A WALK.
Fast forward 3 seconds later while I am putting my shoes on to go for said walk and Christian starts throwing up his breakfast of bananas and yogurt. Needless to say, walk postponed and Christian is in bed!

No Daycare For the Kids

So after much discussion (ok really yelling but shhh) it has been decided that since I do not have a first shift job we will not put the kids in daycare. It would be costing us 352.00 a week and well I take home a bit less some weeks and a just a teeny bit more other weeks. I have decided that if I do get an offer for an interview I will have to decline at this point because if I am at home Catherine is in morning kindergarten and if she is at daycare she is in afternoon kindergarten and I do not want to switch her up halfway through. So another 9 months at least home continues.
