Today I woke up and took Kenzie to school. Grammy came and stayed with the kids. When I got back they were awake, so we had sausage, poptarts, and fruit loops.

They played with their toys and I knitted on Peytons scarf. I decided to sew up some pockets for her hands and at the end of that, throw in some fringe. It turned out a little short but super cute. She has had it on all day.

 I started to feel sick to my stomach, so I laid down. Rody got out of work an hour early to pick up Kenzie for me. The kids took a nap too. Peyton with me and Isaac in his room. When I woke up, they were all eating dinner. Im still not feeling good, so I just wanted to get my blog posted, in case I was feeling worse tomorrow. Hoping Kenzie doesnt have school due to the weather. Kimmys kids school is already closed tomorrow. 

Now everyone is watching Curious George and I am going to bed. Hopefully I feel better tomorrow.

As I was putting the kids in bed, Izzy jumped up in Isaacs bed, and peed! Right in front of me. So now Isaac is sleeping with Peyton tonight…should be a fun night!

Slept in this morning because the kids didn’t wake up. I ended up waking them up at 10am. They ate breakfast and I knitted on my dishcloth with the braided coil. I didn’t really like how it turned out, and it was just for practice, so I decided to rip it out. But here it is

its not bad for my first braided coil, I just didn’t like it for a dishcloth. Plus I couldnt get it tight because the needles I was using were 10’s.

Then I pulled out my rubik cube and wanted to solve it, I never did! Im gunna take it to my sister and let her help me. Not do it for me, but show me how.

The kids ate lunch late, like around 2pm. Then they went down for a nap. By this time I had a major headache.

I laid on the couch and watched Netflix while they took a nap. They both slep til Rody got here. They got up and played til dinner.

Then tonight I gave them a bath. Then they watched Baby Einstein and played with Izzy before bed.

Im super tired, and I still have a headache so I am going to be in bed before 10pm tonight, thats for sure!

Today we got up and went to church…they were doing a backwards service today (Preach first…worship last). SO we took the kids to the Sunday school right when we got there…kinda nice!

Isaac wore his suit from Grammy, and Peyton wanted to wear her Christmas dress. They looked so cute!

Isaac didn’t wanna hold Peyton’s hand, he wanted to hold her arm, so they were fighting about it…lol She is just so bossy! haha

They made up fast lol

We had taco bell for lunch…yum!

Then I knit a dishcloth, using 2 yarns for my friend Melissa in Cali, it turned out so cute. I knit/pearled the whole thing, then just knitted 4 rows, then knit/pearled about 3 or 4 more rows. I love it! Might make me one! Its so fun trying new patterns. I just cant believe how much I love knitting!

Then I put Isaac in his room for a nap, and I had Peyton lay down with me, they take naps better if they aren’t in the same room. 

I snapped some pics of her laying with me, shes just so cute!

we woke up around 6pm, and Rody was making breakfast for dinner. French toast, sausage, and tater-tots…yum!

Then I knitted some on my blanket, cleaned the house, and just sat around. The kids watched a Baby Einstein before bed…they are 3 and still pick Baby Einstein every night!

I sat on the table to take a pic of Isaac, and CRACK!!! The glass shattered under my butt! LOL I had to go wake Rody up to tell him. I was going to go get him a fork to get the glass out of the table, and he told me to wait, that he would get it. He used packaging tape, and taped the glass, and pulled it all out and into a box in one piece, then vacuumed the table. He is so smart! I called my mom to tell her, and she had a good laugh about it! Peyton kept telling me not to sit on the table cuz its dangerous…Im like OK Peyton!

I called Kimmy and told her, and then both the kids wanted to tell her too. They talked so good on the phone to her….I was surprised, because it wasnt on speaker phone. They are growing up so fast :(

I put them in bed, and they were begging me to do a blanket bomb!

Blanket bomb: They get into their bed, and I wad their blankets up and throw them at them really hard.

Haha they crack up every night when they get the blanket bomb!

Well I am tired so I am going to bed…and I might just be in bed by 10:30…a record for me! haha

night night!

The kids spent the night at Grammy’s last night so I slept in this morning. Bryce texted me and asked if Kenzie could go with him and his family to the Ice Show in Frankenmuth, so I got her up and she got ready to go. She left around noon. Rody went and picked up the kids and I went and got some yarn and some other stuff for knitting. Then I went and cleaned out my car. When I got home the kids were just going down for a nap. I decided to knit some slippers for a friend of mine, Melissa, she moved to California a little over a year ago and I miss her! She wanted some slippers so I was happy to knit her slippers and a few other things to send to her. I got the slippers done, then made a coffee cozy for her.

 She has a anchor tattoo on her foot, so I thought the anchor buttons would be cute for her. 

Then I worked on my blanket some more. (Taking my time with it now)

We watched my sister Melissa’s dog over the night because they were staying in a hotel for fun. The dog’s name is Abby…she was very good! And she and Izzy got along great!

Melissa came to pick her up so I gave her the slippers Kimmy and I knitted for her. She loved them…tried them on right away!

They look so cute on her :)

She called later on in the evening to tell me how much she loves them, she is so sweet!

I knitted pretty much the rest of the night. I was super tired, so I checked in around 11pm, which is super early for me. haha

This morning my sister Melissa called and asked if her and my mom and Evan could come over until they got Jack from school (which is right down the road from my house). I was like, heck ya!!! When they got here,

Melissa wasnt feeling too well. She decided to go to the ER so I ended up watching Jack, Evan, and 2 kids she babysits. Their dad came and picked them up after about an hour. But I still had Jack and Evan. Peyton, Isaac, and Evan all took a nap. And at some point, not sure what time, my brother in law Bruce brought over Max and Hailey and went to the hospital with Melissa. We watched Wild Kratts, and then the American Girl movie. And the kids played with the duplo legos all day. Mel and Bruce came and picked them up around 6pm Then we ate dinner.

I knitted another pair of slippers throughout the day so Isaac, Peyton, and I all have the same pair now. I need to get some more yarn, then I am going to knit Rody and Kenzie each a matching pair too :)

Then Hailey wanted me to take her to gymnastics tonight so I had Bruce drop her and her stuff off and we went, Kenzie came with us. The kids and Rody stayed home.

It was fun watching Hailey do all her stuff. I went on the gymnastic floor cuz I wanted to see what it was like, it was really bouncy haha. I think Hailey was embarrassed haha. Me and Kenzie knitted while watching Hailey. I knitted a dishcloth, which I am giving to Rodys mom tomorrow, and Kenzie worked on her surprise for Nana.

After gymnastics we got hot fudge sundays from McDonalds…yum! Then I dropped Hailey off at her house.

When we got home, Rody had gotten the kids in bed, and cleaned up the whole house…what a surprise! Made me so so so so happy! I needed this little break! I finished the dishcloth for Rodys mom, and wrapped it up with a little note inside. I though it looked really cute so, yep, I took a pic of it!

 

Well its been a long day and I am definitely ready for bed.

Night Night!
