Update...

Okay, so I admit it, I have been horrible about updating my blog. When you have two children you are so exhausted by the end of the day, all you want to do is crawl into bed and watch whatever comes on TV at 10:30, anything before then you can forget about. Besides that, Rusty has been out of town so much that by the time I get the girls fed, bathed, fed again (Aubrie), put down, clean the kitchen, iron three set of clothes, shower, and brush my teeth I AM EXHAUSTED! Not that being a Mom isn't the most wonderful thing in the world, it just leaves you with little time to do much else. So with that being said, I decided to postpone my to do list tonight until I updated my blog. Tomorrow is Friday so if I'm up a little bit later than normal, no worries. Anywho, everyone is doing great! Aubrie is sitting up, still crawling backwards, waving, clapping, sticking her tongue out, trying to spoon feed herself and trying to put her pacie in Mama's mouth. Also, she did have a touch of the stomach bug last weekend but that's all good and gone.
I hope everyone is well. Oh, and for those of you with a blog, I am so sorry I haven't published any comments lately. I check them at work, on my lunch break of course "0), and "Big Brother" won't let me add any comments. I love reading all of them and Betsy, Julie and Sara, you all have the cutest kids. I hope everyone is doing well and I hope to see you all soon!
Love Always,
Kat
P.S. This is how tired we all are. Since Rusty has been traveling, Kaileigh usually will fall asleep on the floor in Aubrie's room while I feed Aubrie. Tonight, Rusty joined us and yes, all three of them are still asleep on the floor, listening to Delilah of course "0).
Okay, so I'm off to sweep and mop the kitchen floor, make my bed, fold laundry, iron for tomorrow, shower and pry my overly dried contacts from my eyes "0).
P.S.S. There are more blogs below, enjoy "0).

Pre Halloween Fun!

Yeah!!! The girls Halloween Costumes finally came in!!! I ordered their costumes a little over a week ago and was worried they wouldn't be in, in time for Halloween. We'll...when I arrived home with the girls, there was a package waiting for us on the front porch. Kaileigh was so excited! She thought the mail man brought her a present, I didn't tell her it was from Rusty and I "0). As soon as I opened the box, off went her clothes and on went her costume. Kaileigh's costume is a fairy one and Aubrie's is a little butterfly. I am going to dress them up on Friday once we get home from work/daycare and take them across the street to go trick or treating. It will be a great way to meet the neighbors and for Rusty and I to get some good candy, I mean Kaileigh, Kaileigh to get some good candy"0). Enjoy!
Love,
Kat

Six Month Check Up...

My super sweet little Aubrie had her six month check up last Thursday. Poor little thing, she had to get four shots, ouch. She weighs 17 lbs and is 26" long. I can't believe how much she has grown! She is such a wonderful child and just melts my heart every time I look at her. I am so blessed to have such sweet, healthy children. As a WIC Nutritionist, I see so many Moms who have critically ill children. I have seen children with spina bifida, cerebral palsy, shunts, epilepsy, children who are HIV positive, on feeding tubes, children with diseases I haven't even heard of, I have to look up their condition just to understand it, children who are with foster parents because their parents are either in jail or didn't want them. Just the other day I counseled a Mom who's daughter wasn't even allowed to go out in public because of her sensitivity to germs. I CAN'T IMAGINE, I JUST CAN'T IMAGINE. I am so thankful for my job and my children. I don't take anything for granted. It is a miracle, it honestly is to have a healthy child. So, with all that said, if you are reading this and have a child, please give them a great big hug and kiss.




Splish Splash...


Okay, so Rusty and I finally figured out a way to get both girls bathed at the same time...just put Aubrie in the bath tub with Kaileigh, duh. With Rusty traveling so much, I would always put Aubrie in her tub on the floor while I bathed Kaileigh in the big tub. By the time I was done with the two of them I was dripping wet. Aubrie loves to kick her feet and make HUGE splashes. Kaileigh doesn't want her little sister to outdo her so she tries to make even bigger splashes. Needless to say, this is a lot easier. Having both of them in the tub leaves Aubries splashes in the tub and Kaileigh little room to make much of a splash. I think we've finally figured it out, at least for now "0).
