Things happening around here

We hit a deer last night.  We have a smashed headlight, everyone is fine....except the deer of course.Our little guy saw it all and asked several times today to go to the garage to see the broken light.  Then he would retell me what happened.  He's been waking up from dreams early in the morning, crying himself into our room to try to explain what was happening. This morning they were all good dreams.  The first words out of his mouth this morning were. "Big John Deere tractor in the parking lot just like mines"  haha.  Then he said "get tires at new store"  I asked him what store, was it Costco?  He said yeah, get new tires at Costco.  We went to Costco last night.  Here are some pictures of both of them sleeping at the same time....this lasted for about 15 minutes, so I really didn't get anything done.  I need to make a list of things to do when I get the chance that both of them are sleeping (since S gave up naps entirely when H was about 7 weeks old). When the opportunity arises, I get so excited I really don't know what to do with myself, so I do 10, 1-2 minute things.  Someday I'll be organized in this area.  Here is a picture of him after he fell asleep on the couch next to J.  He was just sitting there and then we noticed he had tipped over. LOL! Poor guy had a cold and this is the first one he was wiping his own nose with a tissue (not just his sleeve).  He was like an old lady with his tissue wadded up in one hand carrying it around everywhere until I firmly told him to throw it away and get a new one.  What a kid, I love him so much!

 Well, our little sweetie pie is growing, growing.  She was 12 lbs and 3 oz. tonight before her bath.  She is getting so strong, close to rolling over.  On her back, she arches her back so she can get to her side but hasn't gone all the way to her tummy.  On her tummy, she can get over to her back.  She throws her legs straight up in the air and grabs her knees.  She loves to watch her brother do anything, which has made nursing a challenge lately.  I have to tell him to go play in his room so she will focus a bit, but when I'm getting dinner ready his distraction helps out so much.  She likes to watch the dog, too.  She laughs, and giggles and babbles all sorts of sounds.  She's good at grabbing my hair and toys, she's actually pretty good with her hands, chewing on them and pulling out her nuk, but she prefers her thumb.  We put her in the stroller for the first time this week, she seemed to like it but didn't fall asleep until we had done all the loops in the park and were back in the driveway...too much to see for those attentive little eyes.  I just wonder what she is going to be like when she  gets older-- that some kids just drift off to sleep easily, but she doesn't want to miss a thing.  I give her many opportunities to jump into slumberland, but she keeps those eyes pinged open as long as she possibly can.

J poured the foundation for another house last week, the rain held off and he got the driveway done on Monday of this week, so he'll be as busy as he wants to be this winter.  This time change has kicked my hiney, I'm going to bed.
