So I'm finally feeling like I'm a SAHM now. The first few weeks were really hectic between my mom's surgery, opening the store, and keeping my friend's two boys. But since all that is passed, life has become a tad less busy, thankfully. There have even been a few moments here and there when the dishes are done, the laundry is done, the kids are bathed, etc and I don't have anything major pressing! Nice. Weird, but nice.
Nothing super dooper exciting happening in our stretch of the woods. Our house is coming along though a lot of the work is happening on the inside now, so it's not as obvious from the outside. I'm still driving by it almost daily though to make sure I'm not missing anything.
So I just took a second to go get some yogurt with granola and Carsten was complaining about his nose. I looked and it seemed like he had a big green boogie up there. So I got a tissue and wiped it, only to realize that it was a pea from last night's dinner! I had a big discussion with him about NOT putting stuff up his nose, etc. Now I'm wondering where the pea came from since I swept the floor right after dinner last night.
Alexis woke up this morning telling me her eyes were foggy. I'm not sure if they were still just tired and sleepy or if maybe she's needing glasses. Hum... we'll have to keep an "eye" on the situation.

An actual walk through?!
My mom had surgery this week. Thankfully, she came through just fine and is now in recovery. She's supposed to go home tomorrow. Well, not to her house, but to my aunt's house. My aunt's house is all one level and my mom is having difficulty walking because one of her legs is still numb. The doctors are confident that the feeling will return to her leg so that she can function normally. I'm just happy that she's through surgery. I was really worried about her.
So today was very cool because we actually got to walk THROUGH OUR HOUSE!! That was the coolest thing ever. They've been doing a ton of framework this week and so this was the first chance we had to go through it. None of the workers were there so we just snuck in. It was neat because all the framework was up, and no drywall so you could just see straight through everything! We took a picture of each kid in their room, which was neat. I have pictures to show but I'm at the game center right now so I can't upload them. It's so cool to see the process unfold! It's a bit surreal, I think.
Carsten has been such a stinker lately, and that's so unlike him. He thinks it's fun NOT to take a nap at nap time, but instead fall asleep in his carseat on the way home from picking up Tyrus (around 3:45ish) and then sleep until 6. Then, he's cranky at dinner and doesn't want to go to bed until midnight. So, after fighting with him to stay in his bed for hours the other night, I finally decided that no matter what, he could not take a nap during the day. He was so drowsy in the late afternoon again, but I kept clapping loudly or messing with his feet in the seat so he'd stay awake. He had a glassy look in his eye, but he kept smiling. Anyway, it worked somewhat, because last night he went to bed around 9 which is a much more reasonable time, I think.
