Catching Up

I haven't blogged in a few days, if you noticed. =) However I am back tonight. I wanted to post some pictures from the zoo and of our visit with the Easter bunny but those will have to wait.

On Tuesday I took the kids to the mall to get their picture with the Easter bunny. They were dressed up in their Easter outfits and things were going good until Bailey told Kam to lay on the floor and he did - right in line, in his clean clothes for pictures. Kam loves his sister so much I think at this point in his life he'd jump off a cliff if she said so not knowing the outcome. Bailey loves Kam so much but also loves that he will do pretty much what she wants that she might just ask him to jump to see if he would.

Once Kam was off the floor and we discussed how we don't act that way in public, the Easter Bunny showed up. Kam was all to happy to wave to the bunny until it was his turn to sit on his lap. Bailey went right up and sat down, I handed Karson to the bunny and Kam cried. He didn't want to sit next to the bunny. But he did with big tears. They took two pictures and off we went. I seleted the "better" one and got my few pictures and off to get some lunch.

Race home, Kam gets a nap, Bailey gets changed and off to the dentist. Bailey gets a great teeth and a cleaning all in 30 minutes and $120.00 later. Oh well I guess that is what you pay to make sure your kiddos teeth are taken care of.

Bailey has been on spring break and loving that shes does not have to get up and great ready to leave each morning by 8 am. She hangs out with me, the brothers, Suay and Grandma. I am excited to say we (my Mom and I) are taking Bailey to the American Girl Store on Friday and Bailey has no idea. I have to figure out which doll to take for her because we are not going to tell her until we get there. I cannot wait to see the smile on her face. She will be so happy. It will be nice to spend some time with my Mom and Bailey, just the girls.

Kam has been back at school the last two days. He loves his preschool and I am happy that he is going to go mornings in the fall from 8-11 Monday-Friday. I think it will be good for him. He is still working on the potty training. I don't think I have ever seen a kid have to go so much. He doesn't always tell us but he goes all the time. I really hope by June he is totally potty trained but we shall see.

Karson is great. He actaully went all day yesterday with no oxygen. None for his naps and none last nigth. He was up several times because he lost his pacificer and wanted to eat but other than that, he was good. I think I was up more because I am used to being up and I'd swear I'd hear his pulse ox alarm only to get up and see it was at 92. During his first nap today he was down to 88 but his second nap he was above 90. He is now in bed and above 90. I just hope he can stay there. I'd love for him to be off the oxygen, it is coming close to two months. However if this is my only big struggle, I'll take it because it could be worse.

Dolls for Daughters is doing great! Another donation for our bowl a thon from a local nail salon. Sent about 20 more letters today requesting donations for our event to give away. Hope we have some success with getting more donation and 20 teams signed up. We also have more events coming up and more than anything, I'd just love to spread the word and get more people involved. We will need a lot of help in December and that is where volunteers are really going to be needed.

Love the fact my new Fit book arrived today. It is where I log my workouts and what I eat. I finished my last one (12 weeks) and I love the results I was able to track. I also read a great book in the last few days - Look Again, I am reading another called Run Like a Mother and have a 3rd in my car. I love to read and I always have a book on hand. If it is a great book, I find ways to finish it. I am always looking for great workout music and great books to read. I read a lot so I love to hear suggestions. 

Hope tomorrow is a wonderful day!
