Spring Break

This week was spring break. We had a very eventful week that is for sure! Sabrina and Madeline came down from Seattle to hang out with us. They got in on Tuesday afternoon and the fun didn't stop...we went swimming, to the indoor bounce land, painted pottery, visited urgent care...yep, did you honestly thing everything would have been perfect?!
On Weds night after the girls went to bed Sabrina and I went to the gym and to get dog food. How nice, some time without the girls...well when we got home about 10:30 there was Eddie holding Maddie on the couch. She wasn't crying but she was a little warm and didn't want to go to sleep. The next day we woke up and went to paint pottery. That is when she started pulling on her ears and just laying on me and Sabrina. So off to urgent care we went.
Now keep in mind they were leaving the next day at 6 in the morning. So we got into the doctor and the nurse took her temp, sure enough she had a fever. Then the doctor comes in and checks out her ears. He looked in her left and said yep, ear infection. He then looked in her right and made a face. I have never seen a doctor make a face but her right ear was so bad he actually made a face. He then said she needed a shot to kick start the treatment. Sabrina told him they were flying home the next day and he adviced strongly against it.
So two days later they are getting ready to leave. I will say Maddie is quite a trooper. A super bad double ear infection and overall she was on the up and up.
Despite our trip to urgent care we had a blast!! We are happy that Sabrina and Maddie came down to hang out with us...




On Friday night we went to the Train Park. They rode the train and carousel, went down the slide and tire swing.

This is from the indoor bounce house. It is two rooms of giant bounce things...

This is urgent care...Sabrina is reading up on some advice from the OctoMom and Vi is striking a pose as usual.

Cat Sitting

So Vi and I are cat sitting for Len while he is on his cruise. Today when we went over there so check on him it didn't go so well and Kennedy bit me and I was bleeding. On the way home Vi says...well at least one of us had a good day...

She cracks me up...

Pink iPod

Well we did it. At the age of 5 we bought Vi her first piece of electronics. We bought her a hot pink iPod Shuffle. Eddie and I both got one because we have been going to the gym and need one to stay focused. Well, Vi took one look at Eddie's and had to have one. She loves music and is always singing so Eddie and I decided it was ok for her to have one. I have a bunch of CDs for her so I set it all up. She hasn't put it done yet. She is a singing fool...

Homework Sassiness

Yes, imagine that...Vi was sassy...

So she is doing her homework and there is one that is a lot of coloring. She is sitting here coloring and coloring and talking while she is coloring. Well, she is saying...I'm bored...i don't want to color anymore...mommmm...this is my life and i dont want to color anymore. Yes that is right at 5 she said 'this is my life and i dont want to color anymore'.

I just have to shake my head...i cant wait to hear what comes out of her mouth at 15...

Happy Valentine's Day

Today Vi had a Friendship Feast/Valentine's Party at school. I went and helped out. She really likes when I come to school with her. One of the activites was passing out cards and treats. Each kid made a special Valentine's box (out of an old cereal box). As soon as Vi got home she dumped the box on the floor, took all the cards and threw them in the garbage and ate the candy.

Pulumb

So on Monday V had a guest teacher. I asked her how it was and what he did. She went on to tell me about the story that he read them and that she didn't remember his name. She then says he also did a pulumb. I thought she said pull up and thought that was very strange. Why would he do a pull up in the classroom? So I asked her and I emthaphized the words PULL UP...she said no, pulumb. So I said it again...pull up. She got very annoyed and said, no he read a pulumb. I tried not to laugh...she was talking about a poem. I love her!

Papa Dad

Victoria loves her Papa Dad. When he was out here for Christmas they played a lot. He is used to playing with girl toys because he only had me and my sister. I don't know what he would do if he had a grandson...that poor kid would be wearing pink and playing with dolls...haha
