Well, after last night, I hope things get better tonight. Last night the Boy had a bloody nose (means we're going to have to buy him new clothes in a month or so), Boy2 wanted snuggles every time I went upstairs,which was alot since the Girl fell asleep pretty good but kept waking up every few minutes. And not just waking up, but screaming. I think she was even mostly asleep for it. I cuddled her in the rocking chair, gave her tylenol (she's cutting some more teeth), rubbed mentholatum on her chest (she was quite congested), and snuggled on our bed for a bit. Nothing worked at keeping her asleep. Then Daddy came home. He cuddled her for a bit on our bed then put her in her crib. She was out until 3:30. I guess she just needed Daddy lovin'.
But the boys have been so tired lately. Maybe they're catching up from the weekend. Sunday night we let stay up later to watch AFV. Oh, well. The Boy has been very sad to miss nap time (even though he doesn't sleep), and they get at each others' throats when they spend more than five minutes with each other (grumble, grumble, grumble). So today I had the Boy making Boy2 cry and Boy2 making the Boy cry. And in the middle of all of this is the Girl, sitting beside whomever is on the current time-out, trying to make them feel better :)
I've started planning our meals. Hubby and I noticed our food spending getting a little higher than we'd like, so I sat down, took stock of the freezer and pantry, and made a meal calendar. So far it's working out (it's been less than a week, but I'm finding less stress over thinking of what to do for supper). The boys aren't really liking it because it means they sometimes (okay, most times) have to eat things they either "don't like" or have never had to try before. They are slowly learning that they don't have to like it to eat it. Plus I've inserted meals like tonight (chicken nuggets) for their enjoyment too.
In other news (for those few who read this who haven't already been told) we are expecting Macintyre baby number four. We don't have a due date yet, since not even the Doctor knows when we'd be due, so we have an ultrasound scheduled for the 18th to figure that out. But I won't see the doc again until beginning of November, so I might not find out until then. In the meantime, I'm feeling pretty good. Occasional nausea (which seems a bit worse this week) but I've started keeping soda crackers beside the bed (after Hubby told me to a few times) and if I keep food in me, it's pretty good.
The kids are super excited about it. Well, the boys are. The Girl doesn't really know, but she's pretty jealous of her brothers at times, so I think if there are going to be any problems, they'll come from her. The boys run up to me, lift my shirt and try to give the baby hugs and kisses. The other morning the Boy even was "playing" with the baby. Trying to tickle and pat. "Baby likes this!"
We got a new game for the Wii. "Rabbids Go Home" (or "Bunnies Go Home" as the boys call it). It's kinda cute and fun. The kids (and we) bust a gut laughing at times in it. The idea is that there is a "rabbid" in the wii remote, and it shows you it. You can colour and decorate your bunny, but when you shake the remote, it gets thrown around. Really funny!
But I'm going to sign off soon. I made up a pumpkin cheesecake for Thanksgiving, and pumpkin cookies yesterday. SO tasty. I even brought some to share at Bible Study this morning and they went over quite well. The kids really like them (especially since they have a glaze:)
