My Bad Day

You know as I start to write about my bad day I just want to say I know there are people out there who have it a lot worse then me. 

So my bad day today.

I've been recovering my couch and it looks really good but today while I was sewing one of the cushions I sewed the tip of my finger and might I say it really hurts.

After I had sewn most of the cushion I realized the top and bottom were off by like and inch so I had to unpick the cushion and resew it.

Oh and of course my children wanted my attention while I was doing this so there was much weeping and wailing.

Cicily was very disobedient today I don't know what it is but she listens to people who aren't mom and dad,  Sometimes I feel like chopped liver.

 Nick stayed late at work

A few days ago Cicilly put a pull-up in her laundry basket well I didn't find it till after it had gone through the wash.  Wet pull-up that has been shredded is not fun to clean out of the washing machine.( I was crying)

Nick was sweet though he got home while I was crying and cleaning out the washer, and he wanted to take over for me but it was the only thing keeping me away from my crying children so I said no.  But he did start putting up the Christmas decor and got a 5 buck pizza so I didn't have to cook.  Then we went shopping and we got me some ice cream. Well I was putting the food away and Nick was holding Renick and he asked to switch cause Renick was hungry well I started feeding Renick and Nick forgot about the food and an hour later my ice cream still hadn't got in the freezer. 

hopefully the end.

Funny Boy!

Renick

So I didn't feel like signing out of Nick's Gmail. So it's really Carisa. Renick got his first tooth yesterday. It's funny watching him as he's getting bigger and able to do more. He's still more interested in watching than actually doing. He rolls over on his own Cicily likes to help sometimes even though she shouldn't like yesterday when she rolled him over into the book shelf . Or today when she was hitting him in the tummy it didn't help the tummy bit that Renick was laughing every time she hit him. She kept telling me "but mommy he likes it!" I'd have to tell her I know he likes it but that doesn't mean we do it.

Halloween and the curse of the sand man.

So this was Renick's first Halloween, and Cicily really got into going Trick or Treating.  She went with her cousin Rachel, but she kept leaving everyone in the dust running from house to house.  She had a lot of fun Cicily was a princess this year and Renick was a cute little Lion. 

Renick trying hard to fight the sandman off with out success.

Spooka Palooza

 So I won tickets to Spooka Palooza in Sandy and Nick was busy so I took Grandma and Jenny.  Cicily was a little difficult as it was for kids mostly and she knew what she wanted to do and didn't want to wait for anyone. 

Renick had fun too.  Who wouldn't being carried everywhere.

First Fall for Renick so I thought I'd get a few fun pics in.

 We've also had our first snow and I've been making these cute hats.

oh and Renick does not want to part with his nectarines.

Renick Cicily and them silly selves

Renick and Cicily are never boring.  We've had a lot of fun getting to know Renick's personality as it's started showing up more and more.  He's a very happy baby.  Cicily says the funniest things like yesterday, I told her not to eat to much candy and she said " ya cause it will make our teeth fall out and Jesus will have to buy us new ones."  She says things all the time that I'm like where did that come from?  Cicily and I made chex muddie buddies this last week and Renick rolled over for the first time after a lot of coaxing, hasn't done it again yet of course, but at least he's taken the first step.

So I haven't posted in a while, but I need to get more pictures up here and videos because Renick is growing so fast.  He's only 5 months but he's already almost 17 lbs.

We've gone to the Cabin a few times.

We went bowling the other day with Nick's family it was a lot of fun Cicily really liked pushing the ball down the ramp.

A couple days ago Daddy and Cicily went to Utah Lake fishing and these are the pictures and video from the trip.

Splash Park and Hair Cut

Yesterday we went to Heather's house to get hair cuts and play at the little splash park by her house.  We had a lot of fun and I like my new cut that will keep Renick from pulling my hair.  He thinks it's his personal toy.

Up at the Cabin!

Nick's grandparents are going to be selling their cabin so we're trying to spend as much time there as we can this summer.

Zoo, 4th of July, Other odds and ends

Renick now smiles and coos he also loves to blow bubbles!

So we all went to the zoo Cicily loved the bird show and the elephants.  The zoo also had a ton of dinosaurs Cicily and Rachel love little play dinosaurs the big ones not so much they started to get over their fear towards the end though.

 The 4th of July we set off fireworks and Cicily and Renick had Sparklers.  Renick was board as ever. lol

 Today Cicily wanted to wash the dishes and of course she wanted to do it herself this is the result.  I did have to go back and wash them, but I would like her to want to do work so I was willing.

Cicily accidently got scrached by a friends dog when they were playing fetch the dog just got to excited and wanted the ball before Cicily had thrown it. 

These are just a few other things that I thought were cute.
