Apparently I can't update this thing more than once a week, so I'll just give a synopsis of the last few days.
Monday through Friday my kids were out of school for spring break. Each day went a little something like this: wake up, eat breakfast, play, fight, fight, eat lunch, fight, cry, fight, Fight, FIGHT, scream(by me), cry(by me), time out(for me), make dinner, fight, lament that we are all so bored, bath, put to bed, fight, fight, put to bed, sass, fight, and finally-go to sleep, only to do it all over again the next day. Add in some diaper changing, nursing, cleaning and bad weather and we had a blast...um yeah...how many more days do I have until school gets out...boo hoo!!!! Addi wasn't feeling well because of her HSP, so she was very grouchy. Mason completely capitalized on that and tormented her. Ah, good times!
Despite my kids telling me repeatedly how boring I am, we did have a little fun. We went to Chuck E Cheese, the "fish mall" aka Opry Mills, where we played glow in the dark miniature golf, ate lunch and had ice cream. We also went to the park, ate lunch at Chilli's, and saw "Horton Hears a Who" in the theater. Man, what I wouldn't have given to have "such a boring time" when I was a kid.
Kannon is sitting up by himself now. It's the cutest thing. He's so proud and gets so excited. He makes an "ooooooooo" sound so everyone will look at him. He is starting to babble more. He's been saying "dah, dah, dah, dah" which Chris says is him saying daddy. He's eating more and more solid foods. He eats a jar of stage 2 baby food every night with some rice cereal. During the day I usually give him some mashed up bananas and/or some bitty pieces of bread to eat too. He loves it. Everyone who sees him falls in love with him. Yesterday when we were at the oil changing place he had everyone smiling and laughing at him. He is such a delightful baby.
Addi had another check up today. Her legs look like she fell down a flight of stairs, but our doc said that she looks better than she did and the bruising is normal for this disease. She had to have blood work and didn't even cry. She is so tough. She doesn't have to go back to the dr unti school gets out. Woo hoo!!
Chris was at the temple tonight, so Mason was the man of the house. He was such a huge help. He went upstairs and bathed himself while I was feeding Kannon, then helped me bath both Kannon and Addi. Then he entertained Addi while I braided her hair. He's such a big helper.
I don't have any pics to post because I havne't downloaded my camera in a while and I'm too lazy to do it. So that's it for now. Have a great week!

I'm sorry you had such a bad week. Mine faught all day too...I never thought motherhood would make you a referee most of the time....
Sorry to hear about your spring break. I'm sure we only survived it because the weather was decent enough for the kids to play outside. Aren't kids fun? *wink*
You survived the week and I think you are a trooper. Oh, how I remember the days of sibling rivalry. But they do grow up and then you will wish they were back to fight with each other. Love to all of you. Your mommy
