Icky!!!

So we are now all recovering from a nice week of being sick! Ambrie had the croup- no fun for a 5 month old! She got a shot to help her and I figured since we were there to get Dax his flu shot. Well I had to take Ambrie back to have her checked on (her cough just didnt sound good to me-but it was fine) and I ran into a little problem. As I drove into the doctors parking lot, I heard a little voice in the back seat saying Sorry Sorry Sorry Mama! He kept saying it into the office. I was so sad! I guess he thought he got a shot because he was bad and was getting another one! Why he thought that I have no idea! I had to keep telling him no hurt! and that they were only looking at Ambrie! He got very protective of his little sis when they put her on the table- we had to give him a sticker to calm him down! When I was little I always screamed when we got to the doctors office. I think I would rather have Dax screaming than the sad little Sorry Sorry Sorry Mama's!

Oh! And Ambrie has her own little tricks! She likes to scoot out of her swing! Its one that is short so its already on the floor, but if I dont watch she gets right out! She LOVES to grab at things- one of her favorites is chip bags. When she is in her bumbo seat, I have to clear everything around her or it will end up in her little fingers!

Chocolate

So its been a long couple of weeks! We are trying to get a lot of apartment stuff done, and I am reading like a madwoman! I am reading the twilight series- its so nice to have an easy read- and its not textbooks!!!! Derik thinks Im crazy because I read a lot- Like sometimes over 400 pages.......in a day..........I love to have the evening when the kids are asleep to have a moment to myself. Right now Dax is in the kitchen with a shirt on his head, playing with plastic utensils. Oh and while I was helping a tenant, he decided he wanted chocolate milk, but gave up and just ate the powder instead. I now have a lot of messes to clean up! It never ends!!!! He does look really cute though!

Halloween..............

Overall, it went really well! We were worried about Dax, but he caught the hang of it pretty quick- but what can I say- there was candy involved! First we went "trunk or treating" which is where people line up with cars and give out candy- I think its good for little kids. Then, we went to a couple of houses. He got pretty good at saying trick or treat and thank you! Ambrie was a perfect baby as usual and didnt fuss! She was with us for half and watched trick or treaters with grandma for the other half! Dax and Brie's second cousins, Traven and T'naya were going around also, so we joined them. The only problem we now have is a little guy trying to get into his "elmo bucket" by climbing chairs and whatever gets in his way- even mom and dad!!! Ps- Do you like Brie's drool?! She LOVES to blow raspberries!!!
