We went to Curtis Tree Farm just outside of Cresco to get our tree this year. Wish I would have taken more pictures but each kid decided it would be a good time to fill their pants and FREAK OUT so no such luck... I did manage to get a pic of Ben and Kait though. Ben and Kait with the 17ft corn stalks.... Ben and I both agree this may be the place we keep getting our trees at! It is a really cute old farm, a working farm not just pine trees! They had TONS of cut trees already every size and variety almost imaginable. Wreaths LINED the walls. And all very reasonable prices. You could go and cut your own if you wanted. We opted not to cut our own this year, didn't think they kids would be up for that! And the buildings kept us out of the wind. They also have a REALLY cute gift shop. We managed to get the tree in and set up. It is now decorated (minimally :( ) I do realize I need to invest in more decorations... Clearance list: more lights and ornaments! Ben broke out his pipe (kids were already in bed) and we had the Christmas music playing. In the Life of the KiddosLife is so rough Tank... Kait loving life Both kids had outfits with hoods on, and I felt it was a bit chilly in the house (at 78* i'm sure it was just in my head) but both kids are "in the hood" this morning. Tank... hehe Stalking the Mail Box and tracking my packages!I'm anxiously awaitin some of my "gray week" purchases! The first one arrived yesterday. It is already wrapped and ready to head to WI. 2 more should be here today. I'm SEW excited ;)
Kiddos didn't have a very exciting 1st thanksgiving. They had colds the weekend before so didn't make it to the Lewis meal, we didn't travel to WI so missed out on Wed meal at my parents. Ben and I cooked a chicken,gravey, sweet potatoes and biscuts on Thursday. Nothing to special but YUMMY. :) The kiddos did however enjoy their first squash, carrots, green beans and bananas in the last 1.5 weeks. JT LOVES eating. Kait is a little picky. Not a huge fan of veggies but bananas... whole nother story! Dad feeding JT, I think JT got carrots up his nose.... Kait says "seriously you think I'm going to eat that?" Mom "Josiah Tank did YOU eat your sisters carrots" Kait says "HAHA There may be carrots on my face but not in my belly!" Dad was trying to get the kiddos to smile for the picture.... huge fail and I really should have tried harder with my "happy thanksgiving" sign... Needless to say this pic did NOT get sent out. AWESOME sleeps kiddos!Kids are starting to sleep longer. 2 nights ago JT slept from about 7 to 5:45AM! ate and then slept till 7!!! Kait slept from about 7 to 4am ate and slept till 7 too! That extra 1.5-2 hours of sleep in the am makes a huge difference in my day! Last night was almost as good but JT woke at 620 and kait 20min later. Still can't complain! I've been limiting the amount of formula they get in the wee hours of the morning and it seems to be working. (I am 100% they wake up at 5am because of their extramly wet diapers) I keep reducing the amount every few days. I'm not sure they are REALLY hungry when they wake but are inconsolable if I just try to sooth them to sleep. They now get only 3oz and then put back to bed. Adventually my hopes are they put themselves back to sleep without needing a bottle. I KNOW they can do this because they do at nap times and the last several nights I hear JT fuss for a bit and then he falls back asleep. Black Friday Deals!What was your favorite black friday deal? Or really any deal you got this whole past weekend... cus really its one big gray week with great deals to be had everyday.
My favorite was more leg warmers for the kiddos at www.babylegs.com. leg warmers are normally $12 each. I scored 4 pair at $4 each with free shipping! I've said this before I get so tired of taking pants off every time I have to change a diaper during the day. Leggings make it so much easier! Excited for all my deals to show up in the mail! They had their 4m appt on the 15th. Few days late but that happens. We were lucky that Ben's aunt Rochelle was able to come with us! Such a great help. :) THANKS AGAIN ROCHELLE. STATS: JOSIAH Weight: 13lbs 5 oz Heigh: 23.4 inches We have started calling Josiah TANK. Because compared to his sister he IS a tank. He is shorter and heavier than Kait. Right now JT LOVES his exesaucer. He could play in it for hours, if he didn't get tired ;) . In the last month JT has started to laugh/giggle. LOVE THIS! Kaitlin Weigh 12lbs 11 oz Height: 23 1/2 inchhes Kaitlin also likes her exesaucer. She tries to put EVERYTHING she can grasp in her mouth. She will sit in the exasaucer and just naw on the seat edge. Kid is silly. We call Kait "Peanut". Kait hasn't really giggled let but you know she wants to! She loves to "fly" and when you hold her hands she will sit and stand when you ask her. Ok not REALLY but he does try and with a little help she does it. Smart kid. BOTH kids will choose a diaper, by looking at one, if you ask which one they want. Both kids also had/have their first colds. :( Poor munchkins. To top it off I got a cold a few days later. All 3 of us are stuffy stuffy stuffy! AuctionI got the day to go do whatever I wanted on Saturday. I had a cold but just kept the klenex box in my purse and drank straight from the dayquil bottle, nothing was going to stop me from getting out of the house and having some ME Time! I went to a tiny auction in ELMA but it wasn't a successful one. I came away with 1 bowl. HOWEVER, that sale was almost finished by 11 (started at 10) so I left and went to FBURG to another sale. This one was a success for me! I've been looking for dressers (one for me and one for the kids and adventually one for in the guest room). I got a 3 piece bedroom set for $25! The bed was junk, it got cut up and is in the wood pile. The vanity I already posted on FB for sale and have some interest in it. Got a ReALLY good deal on 2 cain seat chairs (one had a cain back also). Didn't really WANT them but I knew at that price I couldn't loose if I posted them on FB for sale... spent 10 on the pair sold for 50. Also bought a cute OLD stuffed pony thats abotu 1ft tall and a cool old marble game.. If I sell the vanity I will have made back everything I spent plus some. And I will still have 2 dressers, the pony and the marble game. SCORE FOR ME ;) Below: Pics of the 2 chairs (pony is in pic also) and the vanity I'm selling. I didn't take pics of the 2 dressers or the marble game because I wasn't thinking about posting about it until now :D. The one dresser I am keeping is a tall one and matches the vanity. The other dresser is actually an old camode style that is oak but has some really old chipppy crackled brown paint on it. Probably will just keep it that way. Josiah couldn't understand why in "A Hunting We Will Go" (childrens rhyme) you let all the animals go... here is the first verse. The actual version.
A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go Heigh ho, the dairy-o, a hunting we will go A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go We'll catch a fox and put him in a box And then we'll let him go Josiah's NEW Version: A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go Heigh ho, the dairy-o, a hunting we will go A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go We'll shoot a deer, Tag his ear And then we'll shoot some more He LOVES to smile and laugh when we sing the new verison. Cut the fabric out about 3 weeks ago, finally brought it downstirs on Monday so I could sew it together. started the first stitch yesterday, finally finished it today. This really should only take about 15 min. Took me 3 weeks. :S One side of scarf Other side of scarf
Feeding a baby while they are trying to poop is IMPOSIBLE! Kait either you poop now and eat later OR eat now and poop later. It is very apparent to me you may drown if you try to do both at the same time.......
