Another Week

This week was pretty uneventful again. The kids have both been sick so we haven't really left the house much. I am starting to get stir crazy and I'm just about ready to buy a ticket home to California. Enough with the snow and cold already!! I know I am always complaining about the cold and lack of sunshine, but listen to what the newspaper had to say about this blasted city last week...

"If the sun does not shine today, we'll set a 5 year record for the most SUNLESS days in a row - -eight -- and the National Weather Service says we will probably get through 10 before we get a chance of a glimmer, on Monday, when the prediction is mostly cloudy."

"The Cleveland area has enjoyed only two perfectly clear days since Nov. 1. That leaves the other 97 DISMAL DAYS since then either cloudy or partly cloudy."

"Cleveland ranks among the CLOUDIEST CITIES in the nation "

"Cleveland averages 202 CLOUDY days a year."

Oh Mister Golden Sun PLEASE shine down on me!!!!!!!

On to some happier news, here are a few highlights from this week.
1.I got to see WICKED on tuesday. Andy got me tickets for my birthday/V-day present. . It was AMAZING. The writers are seriuosly geniuses and Elpheba is my hero. The girl who played her was incredible to say the least. I LOVED it and I think everyone should go see it. Thanks for going with me Andy!!

2. Andrew is sleeping through the night!! Yes, he is a year old and I probably should have let him cry it out a LONG time ago, but the truth is I LOVE nursing and snuggling with my babies even at 12:00, and 2:00, and 4:00, and 6:00 in the morning. It is exhausting, and I know I'm crazy, but I kind of like it. They just grow up too fast. But, I am very happy that he is sleeping now.

3. I got a new camera on Ebay (different than the one mentioned in the last post. I returned that one to get a bigger and better one :)! I have always thought it would be so fun to be a child photographer, so I decided to add it to my never ending list of things to do. I have been reading a ton on the internet and trying to learn as much as possible. I can't wait to actually get the camera in my hands and start shooting. Anyone want to volunteer their kids/babies to be my guinea pigs, i mean models?? :)

And now for the weeks lowlights

1. Andrew hates getting his hair washed in the bathtub and totally fights me every time. Well, on Friday he was trying to get away from me and banged his mouth on the side of the bathtub. He totally chipped his front tooth!! Poor kid! He chipped a pretty big chunk off too. Good thing Daddy is an almost Dentist. As soon as Andrew can hold still, not bite off his Dad's finger, AND stop drooling long enough to let the composite dry, we can get it fixed. I don't think I can wait that long. Am I totally vain for caring that much?!? Don't answer that.
2. Avery got her first Cold Sore. Who ever heard of a 3 year old getting a Cold Sore??? I have never had one and Andy hasn't had one for months so I have no idea how she got it. Now she will have them for the rest of her life. SO SAD!! She has been a pretty good sport about it though.

Well, maybe this week wasn't uneventful after all. I hope I haven't bored you to death. Sorry I don't have any pictures, but I'm sure I will be posting LOTS once I get the new camera!
