My Poor Boy

There has been a lot going on here lately.  Things never seem to be boring around here.  I wish our lives would slow down or get boring, but it's not happening.  I'm tired of being busy and I'm really tired of all the "excitement." 

Thursday, the guys came out to start removing the old bath tub and put in our new one.  It is a long process by the way.  We've still got a few days to go.  The guy doing it though is really friendly.  Ben likes him which is funny because he doesn't like strangers, especially men.  Here's what the bath tub looks like right now.





















Ben has had a double ear infection and been on amoxicillin.  Thursday, with about 1 dose left, he came down with a terrible rash and hives.  After talking to a couple of nurses on the phone (one of which was very rude and told me it was probably only a virus and I could bring him in if I wanted but that we wouldn't see a doctor only a nurse practitioner) we went to the doctor's office and found out that Ben is now allergic to penicillin.  Here it is now Sunday evening and Ben still has a rash and hives that come and go all day and all night.  This picture was after we started treatment.


























My life has been so crazy and hectic that I don't even remember what we did or what happened Friday evening until our friend Torren came over.  We were hoping to go to the farmer's market on Saturday, but we were all up so late Friday night that we slept right through it. 

Shawn had Dungeons and Dragons on Saturday, and it takes all day and sometimes well into the night.  I took the kids and headed to Kansas City for time with my in laws.  I also had some shopping to do for my best friend, Lauren's baby shower, and I needed a pedicure badly.  I hadn't had one since the week before Sydney was born. 

We have a termite issue here in this house.   The landlord is trying to take care of it for us but it seems we are having exterminator issues.  We've known they are coming out of the wall in the room that will be Ben's room, but last night, I went into the bath room and found out they are coming through the wall in the back of the house as well.  It grosses me out really bad even though I know they won't bother us, just eat our house and whatnot.  Just thinking about them right now is making me all itchy though.

Today, we are going through stuff back at the old house.  Well, Shawn is going through stuff but we will be heading over there shortly as well.  Ben needed a nap badly, so we came back to the new house to make it happen.

My friend, Lauren, and her husband are flying up from Hawaii tonight.  They will get here tomorrow and I'm super excited.  I hope I get to see her more than just at her baby shower.  I miss her a lot.  I know it's silly, but sometimes I wish we could all move to Hawaii too.

Sydney is getting so big! She's smiling a lot now.  Her beautiful smile makes me melt.  It cracks me up how much she looks like Shawn, but Ben looks a lot like me.  Here's a picture of Sydney smiling at Ben.  She loves him so much and is constantly smiling at him.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
