Busy, busy, dreadfully busy...

Image

 So I haven't updated in way to long as BOTH of my mother's have told me. If I get this done today it will be one of my many accomplishments of the day. Seriously, today I am supermom.


I have....

Made a very important phone call. (This IS an accomplishment...I don't call and take care of anything...like ever.) Unfortunately it was ineffective. (I called my last pediatrician and asked them to fax over the immunization records for the kids to our pediatrician here. They said they would. They never did. I called at 8:30 and left the doctor's at 10:15 and they STILL had not sent them...really lame.)

I have given Liam a bath.

I have taken Liam to the Doctor. (He has an ear infection...which would explain this last week of sleeping troubles.)

I have taken all 3 kids by myself to the Library. (Try telling 3 kids who are 3 and under that you can't run and scream in a new place full of books and movies and a secret "little tunnel!")

I also signed them up for a class there. Every Thursday at 10 we get to go hear a story! I have to think of a way to grow a 3rd arm by Wednesday night!

Following the Library I then took all 3 to Wal-Mart where I picked up Liam's prescription and then did some grocery shopping. The Lindon Walmart doesn't have carts that hold all 3 at once and so Nick and Eric walked. Surprisingly it went very well. Except as I checked out I let them run around in the arcade thing and when it was time to go all 3 cried as if I had just told them that their Grandma had died.

Still on my to-do list is doing the dishes and making a batch of cookies to give to my neighbor for watching the twins this morning so I didn't have to take all 3 go to the doctor's. Oh yeah...and I'm going to attempt potty training LIAM. Woohoo! (or dun dun dun, depending how you look at it.)

Other things of note:

Eric told me our snack cups were "identical." Which is true. Identical will now fall under the word "Eco-location" in his list of amazing vocabulary words that he has used correctly in a sentence.

Nick loves his primary teacher. He has started asking me to tell him about her before he falls asleep at night. He cried last week when we didn't attend church due to everyone having colds.

Liam is talking more than ever and as a bonus I'm starting to actually understand most of what he is saying. Today I learned that he is 28 lbs, which is in the 45th percentile (I thought he would be bigger, even the nurse was surprised...I wish I could be surprised like that when I step on a scale.) He was 36.5 inches tall, 77th percentile...I don't feel like me and Ryan are very tall...but apparently we make giant children. He also has a massive head which is in the 84th percentile. His head is the same size as Nick and Eric's. I so wish that they still put snaps around the necks of 2t clothes so I didn't have to stretch out the neck just to get it over his head.

All 3 kids are OBSESSED with Bubble Guppies. We watch it in HD at 9 and the same episode on the non-HD channel at noon most days.

We have recently taken the kids to get haircuts and pictures (too cute) and last Saturday they got the opportunity to leave the house and play at not one, but TWO mall's play places. Sunday night we had Ryan's family over for dinner and the poor kids are missing their Uncle David just terribly today. Eric asked me at breakfast, "When will Uncle Dabid be back?"

The only other thing happening is that we all stare mournfully out the window waiting for Spring to come so we can play outside again. Seriously, Winter is neverending and the worst season EVER. Especially with littles in the house. boo.
