Long, Long, Long Night!!

Sunday night Emma spent the night with Honey. When I picked her up Monday afternoon they said that she had been really good, she when to bed easy and slept all night. I noticed before we left that she had a really YUCKY cough and that her nose was a little but runny. After I picked her up we went to Toys R Us to meet April and let Emma try to find something that she would like for Christmas. We found a lot of cute things that she liked and I got some realy good ideas for Kendall too. When we left it was pouring down rain so we had to hurry to get to the bus stop to meet Kendall. They had a good night playing together until the sister fights started. They were pushing and snatching thing for each other. That went on for a good hour with some she started it and Kendall pushed me until I could not take it anymore. I finally asked Kendall if she loved Emma, and she said yes. I asked Emma if she loved Kendall and she said yes!! I asked them if they loved each other why were they fighting so much??? And I am happy to say that ended the fighting for the night. Kendall fell asleep on the couch after that but Emma was starting to cough again and just could not fall asleep. She was home when Todd got in at 10:20 and I have never been so happy to see him!! He brought Emma in our room until she fell asleep. When he came to bed I asked him if he was going to move her and he said that since she was sick he thought she should just sleep with us. What a great idea that was.....He woke me up up after about 10 minutes asking me to move her over and that she had her feet in his back, which I do not see how that was possible because her feet were in my back too! And we have a King sized bed!! So I had to go sleep with Kendall which was not much better, I woke up with her hands on my face and her knees in my back! I will be so glad to sleep in my bed tonight by myself! Emma is napping now so we will see if she is better tonight!

WISH ME LUCK!!!

Oh, by the way......they had their flu shots today too!! Something tells me tonight is going to be a long night too!

Emma's 1st Field Trip

Thursday we went to Cahaba Lilly Park with Emma's School. She had the best time with her friends and it was such a nice day! When we first got there they played for a little bit and then had a quick snack before we went on our nature walk. They each had their own bag and were supposed to find colorful leaves, acorns, pinecones and sticks (all to be used for their art projects this month). She really seemed to like that and I quickly found out that she has a boyfriend named Jacob! They were walking and holding hands, it was the cutest thing!

Friday we went over to Meme's for a little while, I promised Emma she could go if she took a nap without her paci and she did. Saturday we had a visit from the paci fairy. She brought Emma the Cariboo game, some Elmo panties, a ball and some playdough. She loved it and has done really well without it, thank God! That night we went over to the McCann's to watch the Alabama game and I think that gave everyone a mini stroke before it was over. After that we ate dinner, thanks Mac, and it was very good. Emma ate lots of cheese and potato. Kendall ate really well too. Later on that night Todd thought it would be really funny to swing Emma by her feet and bounce her upside down, she loved it and laughed and laughed!!! A few minutes later she was loving on Mac when..............Ralph!!!!! All in his lap!! Poor Mac!!! She threw up 4 times in all but has been fine ever since. I bet Todd will never do that again.

Today we are painting the girl's playroom and Kendall has gone to play with her sweet friend Alyssa! Thanks Jessica for letting her come play. I hope to have the playroom done soon so the girls will have a place to play and take their friends!

Hope everyone had a good weekend!!

Halloween/Tooth Fairy Visit

Here are some pictures from Halloween. The girls had a great time Trick or Treating with their cousins Drew and Reese. Kendall had her long awaited visit from the Tooth Fairy Halloween night. Her tooth fell out at school while she was eating some chicken. She spent the night with her Meme that night so Dele and Meme took care of the visit for me.

The next day Meme and Dele took Kendall and Drew to the Homecoming Parade at the University of Alabama and Kendall had a great time. Emma also enjoyed sleeping in Kendall's big girl bed that night and being an only child for a few hours, getting all the attention.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween!!!
