It’s hard to believe it’s Friday tomorrow! Woah! Where did the time go?! (I know I can find out by just reading my posts of this week… 😉 )
Chantale called me a little while ago! Another surprise! Unfortunately, she got the impression that things were hellish and out of control here! No, no, no. Seriously. Nothing more than the “regular/ usual”. Charlize is more than likely still teething as that fourth bottom tooth has not made an appearance yet and thus she has a very small appetite. And when she’s not eating… she needs to be held. But, not just in my arms -I have to be standing!! Sheesh. High maintenance! 🙂
Kyle goes through regular crying stages when he doesn’t get enough sleep. Not unusual. He didn’t nap for two days so those afternoons were rough. Today, I made sure he napped by taking away all the toys he kept sneaking onto his bed!! 🙂 (After all, the little bum was up at 5am today!!) By 1245pm he was asleep and woke up a little after 3pm. Charlize had a great morning nap but then wouldn’t nap in the afternoon. So, she’s getting tired now and will be going down soon. Kyle and I will continue to play until about 8pm.
Tomorrow we’ve got a few more errands to run in the morning and then we’re heading to pick up James and Melyssa for 340pm. Saturday we’re heading to my parents house for lunch. My dad was in the hospital for tests all day today as they’d been waiting all week to be called in for an operation. My dad’s been on the waiting list to remove some stones since August. Last week it flared up again and after another hospital visit the doc escalated. Those operations are only done on Fridays and since he’s not going in tomorrow, we’ll see them on Saturday.
What else is there to update? … I can’t really remember! 🙂 I wanted to do more work in the backyard but the weather’s been a little icky. It rained yesterday and was very windy today. At any rate, it’ll be easier to get more done with all the kids at home on Saturday 🙂
Oh, yeah, my tooth! Turns out that what I had actually swallowed wasn’t a quarter of my wisdom tooth, it was the quarter filling that made up my wisdom tooth! 🙂 This was one of the last fillings my previous dentist did – the one that kept me in constant pain for about 2 weeks afterwards! The dentist on Wednesday did a super job on it (although she did have to freeze me three times) and it’s all good. A little sensitive but the biggest pain is the canker sore that appeared under my tongue where the cotton pieces were put in during the procedure.
So, all in all, a very quick week. Not as relaxing as I had hoped but considering how completely out of balance the kids’ schedules are (each taking turns eating and sleeping means a constant stream of work and attention). But there have also been very nice moments of which I’ve captured and posted, plus Kyle does run up to me numerous times a day to hug me, and since yesterday has been saying, “I love you, Daddy” as he does it 🙂 (Go ahead, Alex, wipe that tear now 🙂 )
Quick pics and then I’ve gotta go! (by the way, for those wondering why I haven’t been putting them under an LJ Cut… Internet is expensive in the Dominican. I’m making sure that Chantale gets to see them all in one quick shot instead of one at a time!)
Why, yes, it IS windy… can’t you tell?
I just munched on Daddy’s nose!
I’m sharing my puzzles! Charlize is helping!
A bientot! 🙂
