CHD Awareness Day




Tomorrow we will be celebrating Congenital Heart Disease Awareness Day at our house. I am not a big fan of Valentines Day anyways because you can't go to dinner because everyone else and there brother is out so you have to wait forever and I think that you should show the person you love how much you love them every day not just on a holiday. So anyways, we will be having a nice dinner at home with the family being thankful for our little CHD baby boy. Happy CHD Awareness Day!

Not So Sweet and Innocent!


So Colten is really having a hard time lately and I am not sure if it is just the adjustment to the new house or just his age and a phase he is going through. Yesterday I thought I had a pretty good day with the boys, we went grocery shopping, we cleaned house and we made valentine cupcakes for daddy. All of this with only a little backtalk and shhing me. Today I went to work and the boys went to grandmas house. When I got there Colten was wearing a pair of pajamas and I asked did we have a lazy day? Grandma looked at me and said NO, we did not! I asked what had happened and that is when she told me that during nap time Colten had climbed out of his pack and play, pooped his pants and proceeded to spread his little turds all around the room. Now Colten still sleeps in a crib at our house and a pack in play at grandmas and never has he tried climbing out of either of them. After he was done spreading his turds around the room he hide under the queen size bed that is in the room. Grandma did not know any of this was going on until she went to check on him and discovered it. When she opened the door to his room all she saw was poop all over the place and asked Colten where are you and he lifted the bed skirt and said Hi Grandma. So she did not have a very good day. Then when we got home I let Maggie out to go potty, turned on the lights and then when in the bathroom right next to the playroom where the kids were playing and when I came out Colten had found a little bottle of glitter in the desk drawer and dumped it all out. We had not even been home for 5 minutes. Then after he almost knocked himself out from hitting his head on the wall because he was through a fit I got him to calm down and watch Word World on the couch. I got him and Conner some juice and they were just watching there show quietly. I was in the kitchen opening our mail but could see them. They started laughing a lot so I went close to see what was going on and that is when I saw they had some how dumped all the juice from there sippy cups onto the corner of my sectional and the carpet. The lids were still on the cups so I don't know how this happened. And one more thing, I think he thinks this is Wrestle Mania or something because the kid keeps tackling his brother and then I hear crying and then sorry Conner. Anyways, I just needed to vent a little about my crazy child.
