Yes - we were that family...

You know when you go to restaurants and you get so annoyed at that family sitting next to you that let their kids run out of control- well, we were that family yesterday at a restaurant. Katie had been complaining her head hurt and I just chalked it up to being hungry. We go to the restaurant (a nice place with a kids area) and all of a sudden she is better so I let her go play. The kids are running crazy in the playground when our dinner arrives - Katie takes two bites of her pizza and pukes all over the floor - yes - everywhere!! Thomas freaks out and runs out the door screaming - Mattie is crying because she is hungry and can't understand why the food stopped coming, and Kate is standing there with this deer in the head lights look. Wow - can I say "OH MY HECK!!!" Thank goodness the staff was so nice and helped us get everyone under control. We had them box up our dinners while I took Kate to the bathroom to clean-up. The worst part was that this family with little boys was sitting right next to us and you could just tell they were talking about how gross it was (believe me - I know!) Anyway, we left at that point with Kate screaming mad because she does now feel much better. What a night!!! Oh, well the joys of parenthood!!

Not much happening here...

Ok - so there is not much going on at our house right now. Wow - I never thought I would hear myself say that...but it's true - at least for the next couple of weeks. Andrew is on a school break and there is just not much going on with the kids right now. I recently signed Thomas up for football again (sigh...). I only sigh because I hate being cold and I can already see where this is heading. I tried to encourage him to try baseball or soccer - but it was a resounding "NO." Oh well, it is super fun to watch and it helps Thomas expend all that extra energy he seems to store in that little body of his.
Kate - told me a while ago that she no longer wanted to do dance - her words - "I am just done with that!" She did inform me though that she would like to do Karate. What?? Not really sure where that came from but she is very diligent in practicing on her own. You know - on her dad, her sister, and once on the dog. Hmm... let me remind you - she is NOT yet in Karate. So, I have been trying to find a place that will take a 4 year old and will not cost me mucho bucks. Anyway, if you have any ideas let me know. She also did tell me that gymnastics and soccer would also be fun - so I may have a better chance with those - I don't know!! That girl, she's too funny!
Mattie is currently on antibiotics again for another ear infection. That poor girl - she has had issues with her ears this year. Hopefully we don't end up with tubes like we did with Thomas. Anyway - her new favorite game is crib football (not sure what else to call it). You put her in bed and in about 5 seconds - everything in her crib is chucked on the floor or on her sleeping sister - argh... You tell her no and she just laughs. It really is pretty cute unless it is late at night and all you want to do is sleep. That's about it on our front. Thanks everyone!
