Popsicle Stains

Emrick with her very first Popsicle. She stole it from my hands when I wasn't paying attention! She ate it but wasn't a huge fan. This was last week. But I remembered it yesterday because she fell and banged her mouth on a chair and was bleeding and bleeding, poor baby! So I scooped her up but what are you supposed to do with mouth blood? She wouldn't let me look to see where it was coming from (lip, tongue...) so I did the first thing that came to mind. And that was to grab a Popsicle out of the freezer and try to ease her mouth pain. She would have no part of it! Apparently she is not a fan of Popsicles. As a side note, spell check highlighted Popsicle to let me know that it's supposed to be capitalized!

It's been a while...

Sorry it's been so long, friends! We have been a little busy but not really. Mostly I'm just lazy. And, everyone around us is falling ill with a stomach bug. Probably the same bug we had last week. Not cool. So I have been cleaning and cleaning the house like a crazy person. Hello Lysol! Which reminds me that I am almost out. Also out of laundry detergent. I think we might have to run to Target later.

Burger is gone at school this week. I explained to Jacob that he will be coming home Friday night. We have been talking about the days of the week a little bit, but he's not been too interested. Now he keeps asking if today is Friday yet! Poor boy. I think I need to buy him a calendar!

Since no post would be complete without a story of Emrick, here is your fix: Jacob was watching Spongebob and when Emrick heard the theme song she booked it over to the TV so she could watch it and dance along. She loves that song. Once the song is over she's done. She doesn't like the actual show, just the song part! Jacob likes the show, which bums me out. I don't really care for Spongebob.

New Year's Eve!

Well, today is a very boring one around here. Burger's at work and the kids and I are just hanging out trying to decide what to do. We haven't gotten very far... Yesterdays post was really messed up. I don't know what happened there. But I will tell you that my bathroom sink it still leaking. We were thinking of taking Jacob bowling tonight. He's been wanting to go and we thought it would be something fun to celebrate the holiday, even though Jacob doesn't know it's a holiday. Hope some of you have fun plans for the evening. We don't, but I'm kind of looking forward to it.

Hooray!

Jacob opening his gift from Aunt Cheryl. He loves it and has already used up almost all the paint!

Alex, Kiyrah, and Jacob playing puzzles after opening gifts at Grandma and Grandpa Oldenburger's Christmas Fiesta.

Emrick on her pony. She loves this thing. Santa brought it and Jacob named it Red. I'm just wondering what we're going to do when she inevitably asks for a real pony. Grandpa O. can we keep a pony in your barn?

Some cute kids in the tub. This is their new thing, they love to take tubs together and play! They both think it's super fun. Usually Jacob gets in trouble the whole time for splashing her too hard and she usually gets in trouble the whole time for trying to put the bottle of soap in the water...

I have been trying to post pictures for days and finally they let me!! We are all feeling much much better today. We are chalking it up to some sort of food poisoning, but who knows! Today we went to Target and I spent too much money on clearance items. It was fun, though. Right this second Burger is trying to fix our sink in the bathroom. It seems to have a terrible leak and he can't figure it out. It's making him grumpy. I will call my dad to help. Two heads are better than one, you know!

Today I was in the bathroom washing my hands, when I shut it off is when it began to leak actually... Anyhow, I was washing my hands and Emrick came in with me. Usually she likes to stand on the stool we have by the toilet for Jacob and play with the tub toys. But today when I turned around to get her she was entirely in the tub. Just hanging out, waiting for the water and some hot surfer boys. It was so funny! She looked very proud of herself, climbing in the tub alone.

Stick a Fork in Me...

I want to be done! Last night at midnight Jacob came into our room gagging. He never did get sick but he woke up every hour on the hour to gag over the garbage can some more. Poor little guy. I was nauseous and very uncomfortable. Burger is sick. Sickly sick sick. Emrick went to my mom's to make thing easier for me and so that she hopefully doesn't catch it. Whatever it is. I am ready to be done with 2009 but not quite ready to start 2010. Burger will be gone at school all next week and I'm not looking forward to starting the New Year like that. Hopefully Jacob and I are done with out 'sickness' and don't get it any worse than what we had. Hopefully Burger feels better really soon. Keep your fingers crossed for me, OK?

Merry Christmas!!

Hope everyone is enjoying their Christmas morning! I have tons of pictures to post but blogger is acting up. Hopefully I will be able to post some of them later today. Jacob and Emrick had a nice visit from Santa. Jacob's favorite toy that Santa brought was the Leapster with the games and Emrick's favorite thing that Santa brought is the bouncy pony that Jacob named Red. We are hanging out and playing with new toys until early afternoon when it's time to go to Great Grandma Hild's for a Christmas meal. Merry Christmas everyone!

Well, I tried...

Took some pictures of the kids in their Christmas outfits today. They were not very cooperative but I did end up with a couple good shots. Trying to get them both in one picture is the hardest! Jacob is a little easier now that he's older but Emrick is just getting to that really difficult stage where she wants to eat the camera or crawls towards some distraction right in the middle of the photo flashing... Oh well. All I can do is try and hopefully when the kids area big we will look at them and laugh hysterically about it!
