This is When You Really Love Your Kids

• I've been putting both boys on my bed in the morning to get dressed and Mica rolls around with Isaak. He hugs him, kisses him. I just love those moments. Too bad it's not always like that. Most of the time Mica really doesn't want anything to do with Isaak.

Bad Night

• Saturday night was rough! My head cold was in full force. I put Isaak to bed 5 times before 2 am. Something was off with him, I hope not an ear infection, maybe teething? I still feel no bumps, but he has been drooling. Every time I laid him down he started to cry a pain cry. He had no fever. Travis got so irritated he went on the couch and covered his head with a pillow. He wasn't that much help that night.
• My nephew that is in third grade spent the night (that's not why the night was rough). He woke up at 4 am, and Mica thought it was time to get up. He was all bright eyed. He said, "Mommy my tummy hurts, I'm hungry for cake". His tummy didn't hurt, he was just hungry. Both the older boys went back to sleep well.
• Then Mica got up at 6 am. So much for sleeping in.
• They say you gain an hour of sleep after fall day light savings time. I don't think so. Ever since day light savings time happened my boys are up at 5 or 6 am. No sleeping in.

Head Cold

• I have my first head cold of the season. I don't think I need to worry about Isaak getting it. He is the one that gave it to me. He was all snotty a week ago.
• Mica and I have not had stomach issues for a couple weeks. I'm hoping we're past that. I took cow's milk out of our diet, and replaced it with soy. I'm not sure if that was the source of the problem or not. He's drank cow's milk since he was one and has had no stomach problems until lately. Then I've had issues at the same time. I'm wondering if it was stress or a virus we kept passing back and forth? Not sure.

Little Squirt

• I was squirting my frizzy hair down this morning (it gets frizzier the more kids I have and the older I am). Mica comes trotting into the bathroom and wanted me to squirt his back, so his peacock feathers would grow. He is obsessed with peacocks, and it keeps getting stranger. I guess it's not any stranger than having an imaginary friend. I had to laugh because it was pretty funny! I simply play along. I like to encourage his imagination.

Turkey Baby

• Now that it's November I can put him in this cute outfit. My mom is with him on the bottom photo.

Fun Times

• Fun times in the ExerSaucer.

Playtime

• Isaak at his Baby and Me Group. You can barely see him, he's all the way on the left on the couch, cousin Elijah is next to him (he was a dinosaur), and my sister Terra is above them.

Happy Halloween

• Both the boys on Halloween. Mica's shirt says "Peeka" on the front and "Boo" on the back, Isaak's says "I love my mummy". They sure do look like brothers.

Isaak Red Hot Chili Pepper

• Here's Isaak as a red hot chili pepper. He has those scary eyes in a lot of his pictures.

Mica Dino

• Mica was a dino for Halloween. He kept telling everyone he was going to be a witch. I've had to hide his candy with all his stomach problems.
