Should be folding laudry...

But I HAD to share a story from today. The kids & I made a trip down to base today to stop by ITT. That's MWR for you Navy people. I needed to pick up Disneyland tickets for us. To make the trip worth our time we also went over to the exchange for lunch & a little browsing. I needed to get a couple items. I stopped by the purses to see what they had. Tootie ran straight for the Coach bags, pointed to one & proceeded to tell me that it was "cute". Expensive taste at the ripe old age of 2. Oh boy!

I heard from the Pilot today. He had some exciting news. He was transitioning from nights to days when they switched him back to nights. They want him to lead flights when for their mission. How exciting! I'm very proud of him. :) He deserves this.

Well I need to go do a few more things before I can go to sleep tonight. Tomorrow will be an early start with a late ending & busy-ness in between. I do have some cupcakes to brag about in the other blog, but I will have to post those later this weekend.

Technicolor yawn

That was another name given to me for a few posts back when describing a bodily function.

All seems to be heading towards the better here. Princess has had two good sleep-full nights & no fever. Bodily functions have returned to functioning properly. Less graphic way for me to describe it. Tootie is back to being his normal wild man-self. All in time for grandpa & grandma H to come visit them.

Not much has been going on here. Just catching up on what I got behind with while the kids were sick. Oh! Tootie is going through a phase I absolutely love and am embracing. Don't think all parents are totally thrilled about this phase, but I am. He's starting to pick out what he wants to wear. I'm loving the combinations he's coming up with. Nothing totally wild yet. Yesterday I had him in a shirt & a pair of shorts. We went to get Princess up & dressed. I asked him to pick clothes out for her. He likes doing that, too. Anyways, he came across his Halloween costume (flight suit). Off went the shorts & on went the flight suit. He wore it the majority of the day - every where we went. A few days before that he had on a mismatched pair of shorts, t-shirt, & his safari hat from his pretend box. His current obsession are gloves. Rubber gloves, dish gloves, ski gloves, work gloves... He only wears 1, though. Here is is outfit this morning...

It's gardener day so I had to get up early to pick up toys & doggy presents. I was hoping Tootie would stay asleep so I could go back to sleep after I was done. No such luck. He wanted to come out & help me. He's into helping now. He always has, but now he insists on helping. In that picture he was walking around with the hat over his face. My child... the Michael Jackson bank robber. Later on a glove was added to the attire.

Pooped out...

Exhaustion hit today. Tootie seems to be doing better. He hasn't thrown up in 24 hours & no runs. I thought Princess was better, too, but I was wrong. She has the runs now, which I am hoping is a good things. That seemed to be the tail end of it for Tootie. She's also running a little fever & just wants to be cuddled. She's at least taken an interest in food today. I'm just totally wiped out. Bed early tonight for all of us! My parents are flying in next weekend for a visit. It's going to be a busy week here!
