Things we have been doing.

We have been rather busy the last few days.

On Friday, we just had a stay at home day, and it was nice as Kayne was home aswell. This gave me an opportunity to work a good amount in Wyatts bedroom. I was able to get all the priming finished, and the first cutting done. It took alot but finally that blue is all gone...yippee!!!! I also got some more done on Wyatts birthday outfit. Gosh, they are going to be so darn cute!!!!

Saturday, this was a busy day for us. Kaylee, Wyatt and I joined my mom and grams at IKEA. It was nice as we left after the morning nap was done. When we were getting the kids dressed, Kayne said to Kaylee "are you going shopping at IKEA" Kaylee said "YEAH!". It was so darn cute. Not sure if she knew what she was saying yeah too, but it was perfect timing and it made us laugh. Once we got to IKEA, we looked around for a bit and then had to take a break, go to the cafeteria and have some lunch. Once bellies were full, were were on our way looking at everything possible. I picked up the KALAS set of dishes for the kids, there were plates, bowls cups and cuttlery. I would soon like to start the kids with utensils and dinnerware, and these should be good as they are small for kids and they are plastic!! Then I found some duvets for the kids beds. This is a weakness of mine...I LOVE bedding for the kids rooms, I try to be good but gosh darn there is so many cute things, bright things, well almost anything :) I also picked them up some portable potties for them. I am hoping to be able to start potty training once they are efficient enough in the walking and these potties are perfect and for $2.99 each, I could not go wrong. I also found some long sleeved bibs, I thought that I would give these a try as unfortunately, the colder weather is approaching so undressing them tto eat may not be to practical. Well, they work perfectly!!!

When were were getting closer to the end of our outting at IKEA, the kids were starting to get a bit tired. I found some light blue pillows for $1.99, gave wach of them one. Kaylee was so cute with the pillow, she hugged it and never really let it go. Wyatt would hug it and then throw it, and then want it again. This became a game so his pillow was put in the cart. As we were walking you could see Kaylee's eyes drooping, we propped the blue pillows and my sweater and poof, she was out like a light. I really wish I had a camera to take a picture. It was just so darn cute....shopping really can tucker a girl out!!

Once we were done at IKEA, we all came over to my house. Mom and grams came in for a drink and we had a nice visit after a busy afternoon. The kids were happy to see dad, and were having fun playing with there new items.

After dinner, Kayne and I were busy playing alot with the kids. Kathy lent me a toy that is a car that the kids can ride, but it changes into a toy that they can oush and walk behind. So we turned it into the walker and both Kaylee and Wyatt took turns walking behind this toy. They would go back and forth between me and kayne. There was alot of cheering, smiles, dancing and laughing, and after 45 minutes, there was 2 extremely tired babies that went to bed!!

Saturday was a rough rough night. The kids are still teething...really I do not think that it will ever end. Well both were up alot during the night. I had started to fall asleep at 10pm, and was up what felt like every hour. Then 3am hit, and that was it for the end of sleep for me. Wyatt was up the most. I think he must be getting a cold on top of teething, he was just not a happy camper!

Now normally, if they were up that much at night it would be not so pleasant, but at least at their nap time, I too would lay down for a nap to get some rest. Well, Sunday that was just not an option for me. I started a new job that day...at 7am!!!! I love being home with the kids, but I also like to have some independance. So after Kayne and I talked about things we were on the same page...we both do not want to pay for childcare, we would like to be the ones that take care of the children. So our decision was, was that I would find a part-time job that would be flexible and work around Kayne's scedule, so I would work evenings and weekends. Well, I found a job that is perfect, it is flexible and very understanding of my desire to be at home with the kids and not pay for childcare. So sunday was my first day, I worked 7-3 and absolutely loved it!!! I think that this will be perfect for me!! I ultimately would love to work form home so I would be home all of the time, but until I get my butt in gear and promote my wedding cakes and the crafts, I need to work :)

I only called home once to check up on how Kayne and the kids were doing, and then I called once to ask Kayne what Saturdays he was working. But when 3 o'clock came, I was happy to leave and return home to see my babies, and they too were happy to see me! I managed to stay awake until about 930pm and that was it, I was done, I passed out....well until the kids woke up :)

Today, it was another productive day, but on a relaxing pace. Got up in the morning at 720am, Wyatt was ver clingy today, it is very apparent that he has a cold as his nose is all yucky and he has been really whinny! At their morning nap, I went into Wyatts room and got the first coat of paint done! Then after lunch, we went out and did a few errands. Came home, put groceries away, played for a bit and then nap time again. And during this nap time, I was able to do the second coat of cutting in Wyatts room!. After dinner, I got the final coat of paint done...yes the painting is done, and the room looks amazing. Now, I just need to replace the trim, and paint that, clean the floor, put in the play tiles and his room will be ready to move him in. I am looking so forward to this day. I have the hopes that by them each having their own room, that they may actually sleep through the night. I am finding that they are both light sleepers and they really seem to wake one another so that makes it hard. I have tried letting them cry themselves back to sleep, but it does not work...I seem to get two really mad babies and less sleep!

I am hoping that Wyatt feels better tomorrow! Poor little man was really not himself today. My happy go lucky guy was well not to happy. He was happy to see daddy come home from work, and was happy to go to bed. He has been sleeping for 3 hours now, so I am sure he will wake up within the next 30 minutes! Tonight, I will be ready for him and have the tylenol ready just incase we need it. He did have a slight fever today, so I do not want that to get out of control!

Heres to a happier day tomorrow!!!
