March Happenings

So we decided that we needed to start renovating the downstairs bathroom yesterday. We haven't decided completely what we are going to do, but we aren't in a rush to get it done, so we'll figure it out when the time comes. We want to put a corner shower in so that we can tear apart the upstairs bathroom after we have a second shower. We've renovated before with only 1 bathroom, and it's definitely not fun having to run across the road to go to the bathroom, so we will get the downstairs bathroom done before we rip apart the main bathroom!


This is Seth's newest toy. He can sure get around in it and he loves the fact that he can walk around and I don't have to break my back to let him do it!!


This is the Easter egg hunt at Gramma Ginny and Papa Dennis' house. It was pretty cold, it was a good thing we brought her mitts!


This is the Easter egg hunt at Gramma Audrey and Papa Don's. The Easter Bunny left a lot, and I mean A LOT of chocolates there. We are still eating them!


Seth has discovered how to pull himself up to standing. It is cute to see the two of them standing side by side, to see him trying to do what Sister does!


I found Breana's old sunglasses, and Seth took a liking to them. He just looks so darn cute!

Done!

Breana's snowman that she and Daddy made together!


Daddy is holding Seth up while he is standing! A little bit scary for Mommy!! His Grandpa used to do this to all of them, so he is carrying on the tradition!


Here Breana is helping Mommy study by feeding Seth his breakfast!


My St. Patricks Day kiddos!


My cutie patootie Sweetheart!

Done, done, done! I'm finally done my course! I wrote my Finance 2 exam on Saturday. And I don't have another course to do until the fall, which means this is the first time since I've had Seth that I don't have to worry about a course, and I can focus all of my attention on my family and getting my house cleaned! Yeah!!! Breana is sure loving having me back again! She and Seth were missing me pretty badly because any spare time I had was spent studying! I think I did pretty good on the exam, but I don't find out for a couple of months yet.

Breana went to Gramma Ginny's last week for a couple of days inbetween gymnastics and preschool so I could study without having to ignore her. Seth was pretty good at playing by my feet and letting me study.

It worked!

Removing the movies worked. My side bar - "about me" part was way at the bottom of the page. Taking out the movies made it come back up. Now I will try and see if I can post movie clips and still have my side bar up. We'll see!

Trying to fix blog

My blog has decided to do weird things, so I'm going to try some stuff. Hopefully I don't lose everything. I will have to remove the movie clips to see if that is what is making it go funky. I will replace them if it isn't.

Sorry!

Our Winnipeg trip

We went into Winnipeg Thursday night because Terry had an update course at Red River on Friday. We didn't feel like getting up at 5:30 am with two kids, so we stayed at my Auntie Edith and Uncle Gilles house on Thursday.

Well....Seth decided he was going to get a cold. His eyes were a little goopy Thursday so before we left, I took him to the doctor to see if it was pink eye. It wasn't, thank goodness. The doc said it was just his tears because his tear ducts were blocked so the goop was coming out the eyes instead of draining. I can handle that!

I put Seth down to sleep around 11:30 Thursday night because he slept all the way in to Wpg, which put his schedule off a little. Well, then Breana decided she was going to get a cough. We were all sleeping in the same room, so when Breana started coughing, this woke Seth up. I think that would have been around 1 or 1:30. Finally, at 2:30, we still hadn't gone back to sleep, and my Aunt had to work the next day, so I took Seth downstairs hoping that they would sleep upstairs.

We tried sleeping on the lounge chair, we tried the couch, and we tried the floor. Around 4:30, I decided I would try putting him in the car seat, so that I could rock it and still lay on the couch. Well, he finally fell asleep around 5:30 am. My uncle is an early riser, and he woke up at 6ish, so needless to say, I was working on about 3 hours of sleep. Seth is cranky, sick, Breana is sick, Terry is sick, and everyone is tired!

We took Terry to Red River for 9am. I was planning on taking the kids to some museums, but with them being so sick, I didn't think it was a good idea. So we drove across the city to go visit where I used to work. That ate up 1.5 hours and Seth got some rest! We ended up at Polo Park after that. We did a little bit of shopping, but everyone was getting tired, so I decided to go to the hotel to see if we could check in early. We got to the hotel, and our room was ready, so we went up and laid on the bed for an hour and a half.

We picked up Terry, and headed to Old Navy. Found a couple of good deals, and as we were headed to go have some supper at the Olive Garden, Terry decided that he didn't want to sit in a nice restaurant with 2 sick kids, so we went back to the hotel and ordered pizza. Terry and Breana went swimming while Seth and I watched. After supper, Breana did some more swimming while Terry watched Seth sleep in the room.

Seth actually slept pretty good Friday night. He was sleeping by 8 - 8:30 and didn't wake up again until 6am, which was really good, because of the lack of sleep the night before! We went for breakfast and then went swimming. Seth and I went into the hot tub and the kiddie pool while Breana and Terry did the big pool and the hot tub. Seth really liked the hot tub!

Because everyone but me was sick and cranky, we decided that once we checked out of the hotel at noon, we would just head out to Otterburne to pick up Megan (Terry's sister) and head home. The roads going to Otterburne and then from Wpg to Portage weren't good. We passed by 2 accidents. Megan was glad she came home with us.

Anyways, we are home now and hopefully on the mend. Terry says he feels better, Breana's cough doesn't sound like she is going to cough up a lung, and Seth's eyes aren't gooping anymore. He has slept all day today, so hopefully that is a good sign. His nose is still running like crazy. Whenever he sees a kleenex, he turns his head and cries. Poor baby! I can tell his upper lip is sore and raw-looking. He is getting a bit of a cough, so hopefully it doesn't turn into anything serious. We'll have to wait to see.
