Gracee can sleep

Gracee just set a record for herself! On Tuesday night she went to sleep at 9:00 and did not wake up at all until 9:30 the next morning! She usually wakes up at 2 and maybe one more time and I nurse her back to sleep. I can't even believe that she slept that good! I woke up with very big and hurting boobies but she took care of that when she woke up. I thought it might be a fluke but she slept from 9 to 7 in the morning last night! Dalton has also slept all night the past two nights! I am hoping they keep this up because I have been getting some great sleep!

No more crib!

Dalton has finally figured out how to climb out of his crib!! He did it for the first time last week, and I thought maybe he will not do it again but I was wrong. I have been dreading this! He will not lay down now to take a nap at all. Today I lay him down at usual nap time and probably ten minutes later I hear footsteps coming to my room and I hear him say "hey mama." I don't know how to get him to take a nap now. He screams if I try to go and lay him down. This past week by 5:00 he is so exhausted and so cranky! We are gonna go and buy him a big bed this weekend. Maybe that will excite him enough to take a nap again! I am hopeful wishing I am sure! :)

Halloween

We took Dalton to Boo in the Zoo yesterday and I thought he was gonna be kinda scared but he loved it! All you do is walk through the zoo and you go to different stations and the people are all dressed up and they hand out candy to the kids. There was one man dressed as a dog and Dalton didn't like that one but other than that he had fun. I think that he doesn't like for people's faces to be covered up. Dalton was the cutest cow there! Gracee stayed with her Nana because it was just too cold!

I am gonna take both kids to Denver down farms for a festival. Gracee is gonna be a leopard and Dalton will wear his cow costume. I will post pics of them when we get home.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Decisions decisions

I am contemplating on watching a one year old little girl all day on Fridays and sometimes on Mondays and Wednesdays. I know I would be able to handle it and it would be nice to be able to help someone out and make some money doing it. It would also give my kiddos someone else to play with. I just hate to think that on the days I watch her that means I am gonna be stuck at home for sure. What if the little girl is a little devil. I am not even sure how to charge her and be fair about it. I know the going rate is $120 a week at day cares around here so would that mean I charge $20 a day? Maybe Travis can help me make up my mind.

Sleep

I do not know what has gotten into Dalton but he is not sleeping at night so well anymore. He wakes up crying and I go in and get him and he tells me he wants to watch cartoons. He will watch the noggin channel for like 30 minutes and go back to sleep. He has been doing this for about a week. I am hoping this passes so we can sleep all night.

Gracee can now say 5 words which are: mama, dada, papa, bubu (brother), and hey! She is growing too fast! Before I know it I am gonna have two kids running around talking all the time. Dalton now plays games with his sister. He will get on all fours and crawl around wanting Gracee to follow him, which she does. They both giggle and laugh I think they could do this all day. I love hearing them laugh. It is the sweetest sound in the world!

Crazy people

There are some weirdos out there in this world! My sister and her husband went to a concert this past week. My sister bought one of the t-shirts and decided to run to the restroom real quick. Her husband was waiting on her outside. Apparently there were some girls in the restroom with her that wanted her t-shirt. The girl punched my sister and knocked her out! My sister woke up thirty minutes later and they had dragged her in the stall! She has a bump on her head and a busted lip! She doesn't really remember much of it. Is this not the craziest thing? I am just glad these people didn't have a knife or anything. My sister gets knocked out over a t-shirt! What has the world come to?

Painting house

I am gonna write about something other than the kids today. We moved into a new house in May and we are just now getting around to painting. All the walls right now are white. I never realized what a tough decision this would be! Me and Travis went back and forth with the living room color for a month! We finally decided on a khaki color, which made the white molding kinda pop and look good. The kitchen we decided on the color faded clay which is kinda a red orangey color. Gracee's room is a bright pink and my mother in law is painting fairies and dragon flies and stuff on it. Our bedroom is gonna be sage. I cannot decide what I am gonna do in Dalton's room. I am thinking something with trucks, cars, and tractors. Its kinda what was done in his old bedroom though. I may take him to Lowes or Home Depot and let him pick out something. My luck we are gonna come home with neon orange or bright red paint. (that is his favorite colors) I will load some pictures later today of the rooms we got painted.
