Sleep, interrupted

My sleep is interrupted rather frequently these days...multiple bathroom trips during the night, a quick drink of water, or a quick snack to feed my growling belly.

On Monday, Maddie had taken a late nap (she doesn't nap all the time, but when she does it's inconveniently from 4-6:30 or something like that!). Of course when bedtime rolled around, she wasn't ready to sleep. So she came downstairs by me (I was in bed watching TV). She played with her leap pad a while, made comments about the shows on TV (not too much kid friendly stuff on at 9:30!). We watched the weather & Discovery channel and while scanning channels she told me to stop when I got to MTV! Yikes, we're in trouble when she gets older ("The Hills" was on, which I know is this big phenomenon, but I have no idea what it is). I turned the TV off, and we went to bed. Around 2am, I hear "I'm soaked". UGH. Maddie doesn't wet the bed very often, but it would be in bed with me at 2am. (Mike slept on the couch since Maddie took his spot. He had said he'd put her up in bed, but that never happened!) So wet blankets, wet mattress (YUCK!), wet pajamas. I cleaned up the mess and she went back to bed...in her own bed.

new posts!

Several new posts since Sunday night...I swear, I am going to try harder to keep up on this!!

party #1

So, Kaycey's first party was with my Dad, stepmom, and sister at our house. We made one of Kaycey's favorite meals, tomato soup with dumplings and a rotisserie chicken.

From Auntie, she got a pink aluminum baseball bat, iCarly trading cards, and a book.

From Grandpa Bo and Grandma Ria she got clothes, a soccer ball, make-your-own-stepping-stones, and a Ryan Braun Brewers shirt.

We got her a Wildlife Vet game for her Nintendo DS, an orange & pink Nike outfit, and soccer scrapbook stuff (paper, stickers, and a mini album).

Grandma B (my great-Grandma!) and Aunt Lorie stopped by the night before Kaycey's birthday and they gave her some animal cookie cutters--wrapped in a special K box!!

party #2

Here are shots from Kaycey's 2nd party, with my mom, Grandparents, sister, and cousin(and her husband and son, too!).

A razor kick scooter from Emma and Papa (my grandparents). I should've had it on video...Maddie was saying a prayer outloud, asking God for a dog.

a pink Aaron Rodgers jersey from my cousin, her husband, and son.

An American Girl doll scrapbook, soccer outfit for Kit, a puppy picture, watch, and turtle Webkinz from Grandma Tammy (my mom).

Friday night lights

So I put my camera on multi burst feature this past Friday night (about 10pm). I got this great shot of the lightning! Too bad, I have NO clue how to individualize the pictures taken in the series using multiburst. I haven't figured that out...
