Weekend Fun

Not much has been happening around here lately.
Friday night we had Dan and Linda over and we played a game called Cranium. It was so much fun and the girls were victorious. Whoop whoop. LOL.
Saturday I was so hurting and played some darts, Thank God. Fabian was also hurting but he had ti stay at home with the girls poor guy. I did give him a little relief once I got home I took both girls to the pool which was a little scary and a lot of fun. I ended up in a little pickle with the girls once the waves came on but luckily a near by mom gave me a hand and scooped up Taylor. All was good after that.
Yesterday we didn't do anything. We just relaxed on the couch although Fabian and Eastynn went for a quick trip to go get groceries. And then the cold hit we will not be leaving the house unless necessary till the cold snap ends.
That's all for now

Trying To Turn A New Leaf

So I'm trying to turn over a new leaf by keeping myself organized and energized. I would ultimately like to be going to bed at 11 and waking up at 7. Instead of what happens right now where I try and fall asleep at 11 and don't succeed till about 3 am. Then end up laying on the couch and watching the girls play instead of playing with them. Last night I took a couple sleeping pills and fell asleep at 11:30ish and was up around 7:30. Since I'm not a coffee drinker and since I'm cutting back on my Pepsi intake I'm really struggling. Hopefully it will only take a couple weeks and I will have this down pat.
As for organization. I have actually kept on the laundry since we have got back from Saskatchewan. I have never had more than 2 loads to do and I only ever do 1 a day. I also end up cleaning the girls room everyday. If I keep this up as I have been I can add a room every couple days or even weeks my house should be as Taylor would say shiny and pretty. Anyway just thought I do a quick post so I wouldn't fall asleep.
That's all for now.

Backyardigans

Last night I took Taylor to see the Backyardigans at the Esplanade (it was actual theatre) with my friend Becky and Taylor's friend Brooklynne. I think it would have been great had I left getting the toys till the end. I bought Taylor a couple of puzzles and I got Eastynn a stuffed animal. As soon as she seen the puzzles she wanted to play with them, when i told her she had to wait till we got home she wanted to go home. She must have asked at least every 5 minutes if we could go home it was a very long 1.5 hour. But mom learned an important lesson NO TOYS TILL THE END. Anyway the parts where I could get her to watch the show she did enjoy the rest was blah. I will take her to another show like that but will do it a little differently next time. I took some pictures but it was with my phone and they are horrible. I will also take my camera next time and also probably take Eastynn.
That's all for now.

2 Dates In 1 Week

Yeah that's right we enjoyed our date so much earlier in the week that we convinced my mom to watch the girls again while we went out for a couple of hours. This time we went bowling it was a lot of fun. I won 4 out of the 6 games. We are both paying for it today though. Oh well.
Today we also went swimming with the girls it was a lot of fun too. We seen Grandma Chisholm, Auntie Velvet, Uncle Darren, Uncle Colin, Logan they were all doing the hockey thing. Kennedy was swimming too. All the relatives came and waved to Taylor in the pool she really liked seeing everyone. And before we said Hi to Uncle Darren and Eastynn put her hands out and went and seen Uncle Darren which was nice. Eastynn had so much fun at the pool I don't ever really remember having that much fun laughing and playing ever before. Actually she has been very happy the last few days her mouth must not bugging her any more and we are all very thankful for that.
That's all for now

Walking.

Eastynn has been walking a lot lately. Its about a 50/50 split now which is awesome. Pretty soon she will be walking. But who knows with that little one I thought she'd be walking 3 months ago already. It still looks funny cause she is so small and she goes so slow she needs to catch her balance on almost ever step.
That's all for now.

Date Night

Fabian and I went to the first movie we have seen since we were dating. Holy did we need that it was a great movie, we went and seen Juno and some how it made it as if we were dating again. I loved the movie it kind of makes me believe that would have been the 2 of us as if we were dating in high school. Paulie Bleeker the passive young man who loved his girl and Juno the witty smart alec who didn't see it at first. I loved every second of it. Going to always be on my top 10 list.
That's all for now.

Good News

So the good news is there is nothing wrong with Eastynn except the fact she is teething. The bad news is she still have 13 left to come. It would be nice if they all came at once. Just kidding. I do although hope when she does get teeth she gets more than one at a time cause the poor girl just can't handle the pain.
That's all for now.

Poor Girl

I really have no idea what is wrong with Eastynn but tonight was horrible once again. Tonight got so bad I phoned health link. I couldn't even hold her she was crying so hard that I couldn't hear the nurse. She was so upset she didn't know what she wanted. If she wanted up I picked her up then she would want down so I let her down just for her to realize nope she did want up. Poor little thing and she would flail and hit me just cause she didn't know what she wanted and I had no clue what she wanted at all. Fabian and I just sat the not knowing what to do. He finally was able to rock her till she calmed down. That was after she had some teething tablets.
The health link nurse said she needed to cry like she was for 2 hours before we took her in, wow 2 hours that would have drove me up the wall. We are still not sure if she is teething or if it is an earache some things she does make me think its an earache and others just teething. Hopefully if she is teething the teeth break through soon. I hope she can make it till Monday but if not we are taking her in tomorrow. I will also try and get her to nap a bit tomorrow. She didn't nap much today an hour maybe that is 2 hours short from a normal day. I just want to make my little one comfortable.
That's all for now.

I Think I Got It

Sleep I think was the answer. Yesterday I put Eastynn down at 8:30 am and she slept till 10 and again at 1:30-3ish. It made a huge huge difference. I hope to maybe keep it up its nice anyway when Taylor has school we can both have a nap. I think Fabian is going to take Eastynn to the doctor on Monday. I even got Taylor to lay down for a nap today I hope this is something we can all keep up.
That's all for now

I Don't Even Know

I'm not even sure what is wrong with Eastynn right now hopefully we can get her into see the doctor soon. I can't even believe how much she cries although it is mostly in the morning and right before bed hopefully I can get to the bottom of it before then. I can't be sure if it is teething or an earache and a earache is not something I want to mess around with.
On another note she should be walking soon she is taking a few steps more everyday. Although I thought she'd be walking by 11 months, so what do I know.
That's all for now

Momma's Gonna Pull Her Hair Out

I have no idea what is the matter with Eastynn. She was up at 4am and then slept off and on till 6:30. That's when daddy normally gets up so while he showered I put her in front of the tv and opened the door to the bathroom and shut the door to my bedroom and got 1.5 hours of good sleep. But from the time Fabian and Taylor left this morning till 11:00 crying and whining non stop. I feel like I tried everything I gave her some tylenol and then when I had the chance some teething tablets (I did wait till it was safe) thank goodness the back of the teething tablets bottle says if your baby has been crying it may make them sleep. Here's hoping. I changed her diaper twice and I feed her twice. So I feel there is only so much I can do. She is feed, clean, and hopefully comfortable if she was in any pain. I think we were both getting mad at each other anyway so its a good thing she went down.
That's all for now.

Back To School

Today was Taylor's first day back at school she had a good day so she said. Fabian actually straightened her hair and did a fantastic job, watch out Uncle Jason. (Just Kidding). Nothing really new other than that.
I went to Lethbridge this weekend for darts and did not bad joint 5th for singles and joint 3rd for ladies doubles both events I ran in to a wall I like to call Linda Ledingham. Dad and I didn't fair well once we made it to the knock outs but we did come out first in our section. The girls and Fabian did really well with out me too, which is a relief that means I can probably travel without them to tourney's. Although I love having them there it means I can't share the expense's with someone else like gas and hotel.
That's all for now.

Sledding

Today we went for a little walk in the beautiful weather. I put Eastynn in her new sled and Taylor took Pebbles (our new old dog she lived with my parents for awhile). Eastynn didn't look to be enjoying it but as soon I talk to her she was all smiles.
That's all for now.

I Guess Not

I was trying to wean Eastynn but looked at a website and realized that we are going to fast. They showed 8 signs that it is going to fast and Eastynn fits into 6 out of 8 of them so maybe I will go back to nursing her again and hope that it helps. Saturday might be hard as I'm leaving for Lethbridge at 6am and won't be back till around 5 or 6 on Sunday. She will manage though I think.
That's all for now.
