Do you know why the pig is pink?

Gabby's been on antibiotics for over 10 days and she hasn't been snoring anymore. She goes to the doctor for a follow up appointment on the 24th. When this is all over I will have been giving either Piper or Gabby antibiotics for 30 days in a row, twice a day. I'm going to be excited when I don't have to worry about that anymore.

A few random things with me. Nursing is going well. I have had the least amount of trouble with Ryan. That has been a relief. I'm still a milk cow and my body doesn't like to make adjustments. I cut out Ryan's 10:00 pm feeding a month ago and let's just say I wake up very uncomfortably still. I have to pump in the morning and I was just throwing it out but after Christmas I started giving it to the girl I visit teach. I take bags of frozen breast milk to her every week. Another totally random thing is that for years I have been moving out to the couch in the night to sleep for years. Well for the past month I have only gone out to the couch 2 times. 2 times! I don't know if I'm going to be able to keep this up but I sure hope so. This will especially make our vacations much nicer. On our Hawaiian cruise Scott was kicked out of our room more than once.

Corbin is my big project right now. We just got his report card and he is on grade level with everything (thank goodness) but I'm pretty sure he's at the lower end with reading. I go into his class every week and his classmates read to me so I have a pretty good idea. Mrs. Poole told me that this particular class is ahead but I want Corbin to be at the top.  Everyday I have to try to find time to help him do his homework, flash cards, letter and sound time tests, have him read to me and me read to him. Woo! We are working hard over here. I feel like reading success is critical to school success so we are hard at work.

We are at the stage with Piper where we are trying to figure out her naps. If she naps for 2 hours she's up until 10:00 half the time. I started cutting out her naps altogether and that wasn't great. She was very tired and crabby. I'm trying to give her only an hour nap now. We'll see what ends up working out. All I have to say is that Corbin took a 4 hour nap everyday until he was 3 1/2 and he went to bed at 8:00. Seriously! That was amazing.

I am not adjusting to daylight savings. Seriously I've been an hour behind all week. I really think they need to just get rid of it!

Kids:
Corbin:
"I know why the pig is pink. Because it's pink." Oh that makes sense.
Corbin was trying on a new shirt while still wearing his pajama pants. "Even in my pajamas, I'm still handsome."
"Mom can I have something with nutrients in it." Ha. He is always interested in knowing if something is good for him.
"I know why Ryan is crabby, it's because of all of this drama." Ha!

Gabby:
"Piper stop doing that it's so obnoxious."
"Mom, where is that jewelry necklace that Piper let me have and keep forever?"

Piper:
"Don't worry about it." When Piper says this it's so funny!
"I pee in the river, hahaha!" (The parks don't open their bathrooms until the middle of April. I took her to the bathroom before we went but she still had to go while we were there. I had to let her go in the river bed). Good times!
"Ahhh...that makes me annoying." Piper what you meant to say was, "that makes me annoyed" but your way was much funnier.
Me: "Piper come and take your coat and put it away please." Piper:"hmmmm...I'm busy."
"Daddy, I'm busy. Gonna watch Care Bears for awhile."
"A lady bug!....What in the world?"
The funniest thing about anything that Piper says is the way she says it. It's usually very loud and exaggerated. I wish you could all hear. So funny!

Ryan's been a bit of a crabster this week. I can't help but think that crying pictures are cute too. He's a rolling machine these days.

Gabby is obsessed with coloring. She is constantly wanting us to print out or draw pictures for her to color. It takes us longer to print them than it does for her to color them I swear, What to do with 50 million Gabby pictures?

Gabby's picture she colored from church. Pretty good huh?

Crabster. He finally gave it up and fell asleep in my arms last night.

Scott captured a spider to let go outside but not before he and the kids checked it out.

Piper was so tired after church (1:00 church) that she put herself down for a nap.
