It's been rainy almost every day for the last two weeks which means we have been trapped inside pretty much everyday lately so we all have been going stir crazy. The kids have been bouncing off the walls and furniture (literally). The proof is stamped all over Jack's head. Three bumps just this week. First he decided to challenge the TV stand, then he dove off the coffee table face first onto the stone floor and then he had a run in with the car door. He's 0 for 3. And then just yesterday, as were were all struggling to get out the door to take Eve to preschool, I see Jack drinking from the bottle of kid's cold medicine. I have no idea how he got to it since it was way up on the microwave and had the lid on. Anyways, I was totally panicked and I had to call poison control. But good news, he's fine... probably because most of it ended up everywhere but in him- all over the cupboards, the floor, the carpet, his clothes, even the back of his head. Strange. The kid is always up to something. Family members are beginning to take bets on when he'll get his first set of stitches. Once again I would like to remind all my readers, we are not neglectful or abusive parents.
Here is a picture of me and Eve snuggling on the couch. Definitely not the best picture of me but oh well. We are lucky to get any kind of picture where all people involved are looking at the camera. Smiling in sync is only a far out fantasy in our family pictures. In fact, we have yet to get a descent family pic of all of us together. My mom always says trying to get good shots of my kids together is "like herding cats." I can get them looking cute by themselves, sometimes. But there are way too many variables involved: is it close to nap time? or snack time? is there anything else the kids would rather be doing? has one of the kids done anything to disturb the other or even looked at the other one wrong in the last hour? If the answer to any of these questions happens to be "yes" then pics are a no go. So, I'm sure you will see that this is true as you look over my postings.
