It's Getting Kinda Hectic
I know that I missed my 8 Month update on Annika, but I made sure to Celebrate by giving her lots of kisses and love anyway. It has been a crazy past week. Aunt Kristin came in last Thursday and got to see Annika for the first time and although she probably left sleep deprived due to Annikas teething and cold they bonded as she got to catch up with the other two. I think Abbie found a new best friend or atleast a new lap to get lots of cuddles in! We got to show Kris Johnnys and Jungle Jims and they also had fun at the St. Patricks Day Parade although it sounds like they were a little frosty.
On Monday Kris headed home and before she even hit the car Logan was crying about his ear hurting. I jumped on it and snuck in to the Drs that night to find that he indeed had VERY swollen glands and double ear infections. I asked the Doctors assistant if he could just peek at Annikas ears because she had been unusually whinny and I thought it was more than just teething. He peeked in and said it looked like she had lots of wax and said he thought she should come in the next day to get it flushed out and checked. SOOOO I had to drag her back in the next day and sure enough she also had a double ear infection but no wax,( Thanks Guy!). Her first one, I was so hoping that she would miss the bad ears gene but guess not. Do you know how many times I have done the Drs/ Antibiotics routine in the past 4 years? lets just say we could wall paper our house in the little Yellow diagnostic receipts we walk out with saying our children have the crappiest ears in town! So now I am changing diapers and outfits about every 1.5 hrs due to the lovely diarrhea the Antibiotics have given Annika, but atleast she is sleeping and feeling better again.
Yesterday I had my 3 and 3 of my sisters kids ages 8mths- 5yrs old and it was the biggest dose of Birth Control EVER!!! It was not easy and surprisingly it wasn't the babys that were the hard part but the rotten 2 and 3 yr olds~(O.K maybe not too surprisingly knowing this 2 and 3 year old!). Funny part is today as I am writing this I have a friends 2 year old and it is like a whole different house Abbie and him are playing so sweet together it is actually giving me a nice break. I think Abbie has found her new boyfriend ;)
Hopefully things will clear up here soon with all the snot and ear infections, Please I am SOOO ready for spring

One too many Chefs in the Kitchen!
Let me start this off with saying that Erik and I have been together for over 8 years, and the first 6 and half of them were spent very much separated while we were yet together~ meaning I rarely saw him unless he was passed out until noon and then stumbled back to work to work another ridiculous 12-15 hour shift many times 6 days a week. I spent Easters, Mothers Days, Christmas Eves just about every Holiday alone or with the kids. It was hard. It is hard being Married to a Chef, long hours little pay, but it is something that he loves to do and is also one of the reasons I fell in love with him.
Soooooooooo, where is this leading? I had my first Parent Teacher conference last week which was very low key, more of a here are some things we have been working on, this is what he needs to work on all in about 10 minutes and out the door. The one thing the teacher made time to tell me was a story about Logan being a snack helper. It seems that each day a kid is picked to help pass out the snacks to each spot while the others are still playing. She said one day they were having Cookies and Pretzel sticks so they had Logan and another little boy pass them out. The other kid hurried threw his job and plopped the Cookies down where ever they fell, While Logan went behind him straightening up the cookies and making a flower out of each one with the Pretzel sticks. So when each kid came in for their snacks they each had a flower looking up at them! The Teacher was so tickled she thought it was great and so creative. She commented that "There is my caterer!" At four he has already learned that it's all about presentation!
Here is what the comments said on his "Progress Report" said:
Logan is a precious little boy. We will always think of him as Chef Logan!! He really enjoys cooking in our Kitchen. He is the best cleaner in our class. We both have so much fun with Logan. He is a joy to have in our class. Thanks for sharing him with us.
I'm doomed, I will never get to spend Christmas, Easter, Mothers Days etc. With my "little" boy. For he too is destine to be a Chef!
