One Step Closer

We are now one step closer to Connor being a big boy. We converted the crib to the daybed and put up the safety rail. We did the same thing with Sophia at this age to get her ready for the toddler bed. We'll try it out for his nap first today. Hopefully he will do good. We had no problems with Sophia so *fingers crossed* that Connor does just as well! Of course I do have visions of the 2 kids sleeping in the same bed together, either the toddler bed or the daybed since Connor can now climb out of bed on his own. Plus he loves laying with his sissy! :)

Here he is trying it out!

Busy

Things are finally getting back to normal after the storms we had this week. They have confirmed that a tornado(f2) did touchdown and blow through the area. It touched down about 5 minutes from where my sister, Michelle, lives. I'll post a link to the pictures I took on the way to her house as well as Sophia's preschool which is 5 minutes west of us. Trees everywhere!!!

Today I went for my first Chiro consultation and therapy session. It was nice. Dr spoke me, took an xray and then had me lay on the massage table and let the rollers work on me and then the massage therapist did a little massage on the part that hurts most(lower back). Dr thinks I might have a pinched disc and/or nerve. I go back on Monday to go over my xray and discuss treatment.

After the chiro, I went and picked Sophia up. We went and picked up her new glasses and then walked around Walmart for a while. I got her 3 shirts for school and only paid $7 total! I saved like $7! Score for me. I can't wait til Wayne gets paid next week so I can go get some clothes for her for school. :) She's so excited about school starting! 1 month from today!! YIPPIE!

Now we are just hanging out. Wayne is going to be leaving for work soon so then it will be just the kids and I. I wish we still had 2 cars so I could go over to my mom's. oh well.

Damage Report

And now for the damage report.

Our gazebo took a big hit last night :( Poles are broken. Need to assess the damage this morning. Wayne and I went out at midnight to look and I took some pics. Need some pics in the daylight now.

My sister, Michelle, has a tree ready to land on her house and has been without power all night and this morning. She said there are powerlines down. She is supposed to be bringing food here to put in our big freezer.

Over at Dusty Acres aka my brother Todd's house, the yard is underwater. Don't know if he got water in the basement or not. btw, it's called dusty acres because that's where my parents park their rv when they are out this way. lol

So that's all I have for now. Mom is due back from Monticello today and will probably go to Michelle's and park the RV there. At least until the water goes down at Todd's house. Wish we had room here for them to park. :(

Yeah that was fun!

Yes that is sarcasm you are reading in that title!

Tonight we had one helluva storm! Knocked the power out a few times. Connor freaked out. Sophia was then upset because he was upset. Aww sibling love. Neither wanted to sleep. Brought them in my room for a "campout". Neither wanted to sleep. Sophia kept talking about the angels bowling. Yes sweetie, they are bowling now go to sleep. Of course I had our flashlights out because the stupid battery run lantern wouldn't work despite changing the batteries. grr.

Now the storm is over, kids in their beds, mommy cranky. I think I need some ice cream.

Walmart diapers suck!

FYI, Walmart brand diapers do not stay on well!!! LOL

This is the 5 time in less than a week that Connor has come into my room diaperless! LOL Geez! You'd think they'd make them a little harder to get off when they are that size! LOL Oh well. At least only one has been a poopy diaper and he came straight to me instead of playing in it like a certain little girly girl used to do. eww.

Going to go order her new glasses today! Should be fun. :) She wants High School Musical ones. We'll see about that! Also have to go grocery shopping and Wayne needs boots!

Off to get the kiddos dressed!
