Not the stay at home mom type

These past two days home with the girls has reinforced my decision to get up and go to work each day. I am not the stay at home type. They spend all of their awake time trashing the house and I spend all of nap time putting it back together. I also get short with them and snap when I really shouldn't. Don't get me wrong I love my girls and would never do anything to hurt them, but staying at home all day without getting out or having visitors isn't for me. I'm going crazy! Thank god we have something planned for tomorrow afternoon and will be getting out and about for a bit. This afternoon the girls that it would be great fun to empty the recycling all over the house. They had the cardboard and plastic all over the kitchen, hallway and living room. The bedrooms were only saved because I have to keep the doors shut so they don't trash those rooms as well. Sometimes I wonder why we have a living room full of toys.

Night Two

Night two of the girls going to bed with no night time bottle. Have we kicked the habit? How many nights do we have to go before I feel like we are truly in the clear and over those bottles? The girls have done awesome the past two nights drinking milk in the evenings! We had been doing a bath every other night but while we work on kicking the bottle habit I thought we would do a bath every night. So we did the bath things, got in our PJ's and I brushed their teeth and off to bed it was. They didn't fuss at all. I head the music on the mobile change a time or two, but no crying. YEAH!!!

Our New Toy

We got a new toy today. Our vaccum had seen it's better day and we had been bringing my mom's over a few times when the floors got really bad. So tonight we spent the extra money and hopefully got a good one. To help support our cause of spending so much money the dyson vaccum's are certified by the asthma and allegry foundation. So now I guess we need to spend all evening running it so Emma can breathe clean air. We had mom's vaccum last night and it got up lots, and tonight when we ran this one it still picked up stuff. No wonder Emma has breathing issues.

Walking!

Emma has been a walker for the past week now. I'm just a little slow downloading things from our camera. She isn't running like Ali, but she is getting places now.
