Croup cookies..

Croup Cookies....
Im selling them for $1.00 a peice. Now, heres the story behind them....

Zack and I made some REALLY cute cookies for Christmas yesterday. They turned out soooo good! We iced them and decorated them and tried to get Wyatt to come and act interested so 10 yrs from now when he asks me "Why am I not in the pictures, Mom?", I can pull it out and say "seee - here you are." LOL Wyatt was wacthing his beloved Choo-Choo movie (polar express) and absolutely had ZERO interest in what was going on in the kitchen...anyhoo... so Zack and I made the cutest cookies. (pics to follow later)

EVERY single batch I got out of the oven, Zack coughed allll over. Let me remind you he has the croup. At first, I was being nice and telling him to "watch out, honey" or "Make sure we dont cough on the cookies" and "PLEASE cover your mouth!" Then, I just realized it was useless and let him cough lol...He proceeded to cough and gag all over the whole batch of cookies. Every single one of them - I dont think even one tiny one was sparred.

So these are our "croup cookies." Im selling them with a sign that says "gauranteed to give you or anyone else you dont like, the croup within 48 hrs of consumption." ......

Want one?? ;)

The night before the night before Christmas....

Well lets see, both of my kids are sick. It all started Saturday morning when Z had a fever.... z never has fevers.. so this was odd... It got progressively worse over the course of the weekend ending with a 103.6 fever last night before bed! I normally do ok with fevers.... 102 kind of gets me edgy, but 103 and above really scares me.. he didnt know it at the time, but he was 2 popsicles away from a trip to the ER if it didnt come down soon! Luckily, with Tylenol and motrin, it did..... Then Wyatt started... I could tell he was getting sick when the whineyness started and the no eating. You can always bet if Wy is not eating, hes sick lol. So I took both the little sickards into the Dr today. The diagnosis is Croup for Z that has attacked his vocal cords.. poor guy cant even hardly talk lol.. I laugh at him bc he laughed at me when I was squeaking at him when I had it lol... Wyatt is basically the same thing Z has... he gave me some amox in case I feel his ears are getting infected over the next few days since he has that predisposition.... so....hopefully everyone will be fine for Christmas!

Which brings me to my next point.. Christmas...

today is 12/22. Tomorrow is 12/23 - aka the most boring day in the world. I remember when I was little, I use to dread the 23rd bc it was the day before we did all the fun stuff! We always opened ours on the 24th and I would drudge around the house looking for something pass the time.... 20 yrs later, this is no different. I still dread this day... its the day before everything starts. What in the world do you do all day!?? Then its Christmas day and then you open all the gifts then on the 26th Im all depressed bc its over. All there is left to do is take down all the junk and find places to put all the new junk... Dont get me wrong, I love Christmas, but this is just the reality of it lol...

On a good note, we got to see our "Emma" today :) Mrs.Knight was on her way to the mountains and had the dogs in the car and dropped by so we could see her! Shes soooo sweet! And soooo TINY!!!! Im scared to death we are going to fall on her and smoosh her. we should get her next week :) Yay!

Another thing on my mind....Babies.

Im wishy washy when it comes to baby 3. Yet, I had the weirdest feeling today.... I just heard of someone that is having twins (you know who you are hehe) and another friend just had a baby today... and it made me for a sec get that feeling in the pit of your stomach that you want one too.. if you are a woman - you know what Im talking about. Its really weird bc I havent felt that way since I felt that way about wanting to have Wyatt... weird.... I also recently found out that I will have to take Heparin ( or some variation of) shots if I DO have another.. that makes me iffy too.. but ... anywhoo.....that was weird lol..
Well Im off to watch the Duggars :)
night :)

Wow its been a looooong time, huh?

I've really wanted to sit down and blog lately, but just haven't really had the time or patience to do so. Everytime I sneak upstairs lately, I have a follower in about 2 seconds, so that leaves me no time to write my thoughts lol....

A bunch of stuff has been going on in the past month.. let me see...

- ummm I maxed out my credit card for Christmas...oops did I just say that outloud? lol..

- Ive been subbing at Zack's school a lot and that is taking up a lot of my internet time... sigggh

- we are getting a puppy :) Zack has named her Emma.. more to come on that later...

- I got a new camera... ok this is boring stuff, isnt it?

Lets see.....Zack told me the other day that he is in "love." Emma is his new girlfriend and she asked him to hold her hand in Library, so he did "bc thats not bad." lol..... Hence the name of the d-o-g.... we have absolutely no sayso in this matter.. but its ok, Emma is a cute name :) She is a mini Dashund and will be ready soon after Christmas! We are all excited.

I subbed for Kindergarten the other day and boy, it totally reminded me WHY Im NOT cut out for teaching K! Oh my.. I thought everything was going fine and it wasnt too bad until I realized someone was crying bc I told him to stop and sit up. geeze lol...

Zack has his school party tomorrow and I will be there all day pretty much....Im tired and going to bed..

Oh heres a pic I found earlier on this crazy funny blog about cakes... its hilarious! LOL
