Waffles

It's been a while since I attempted to make homemade waffles with the circus animal waffle maker.  I thought it would be cute to do circus related things leading up to the big circus day even though they didn't know we had a trip to the circus planned.  The waffles didn't turn out very well.  I don't know why I can't make a waffle!  We ended up using the batter for pancakes.

The Plague

Plague, stomach virus, call it what you want.  I actually call it a shitty week!  Alyssa had it on Tuesday, Blake and Addison had it on Thursday, I had it on Friday.  Really?  Yes, really!  Please don't let this vicious cycle repeat itself anytime soon.  We had circus tickets already purchased for last Friday morning, so I took some medicine and put on my happy face to struggle through.  The circus was lame.  We should've just went to the zoo.  Cheaper and much more fun.  Don't get me wrong, the girls were totally surprised when we walked in and realized we were at the circus.  The first hour mostly consisted of clowns chasing each other,  a man holding a telephone poll, and a someone walking a tightrope.  After intermission Alyssa fell asleep and missed the elephants and tigers.  Addison wasn't impressed and said she was ready to leave.  So, we left.  This pictures are of my sad attempt to document our first circus.

Addison's face was priceless when we walked in the circus!

Pure excitment!

Faking a smile for me!

Alyssa didn't care what was going on around her.

Alyssa's 2 Year Well-Visit

The well-visit that was scheduled for last Wednesday also turned into a sick visit.  On Tuesday, she started vomiting when she woke up and by noon had done it 4 more times!  I went to the store and got 3 flavors.  Of course, Alyssa didn't like any of them :(  The dr said that she's seeing a lot of stomach viruses right now and Alyssa hasn't vomited since Tuesday night, it was likely a 24 hour bug.

Alyssa weighs 22.6 pounds and is 31.5 inches tall!  When Addison was 2 she weighed 28 pounds and was 33 inches tall.  Alyssa is a little runt.  The dr isn't worried about her weight even though she's only in the 5th percentile for height and weight.  Her growth curve shows that she can gain weight, but when she gets sick there's a setback and she loses a few ounces to a pound.  She got one vaccine and didn't cry at all.  I couldn't believe it.  I was just waiting to pick her up and console her, but she was totally fine!

Stickers

I don't think I had as much fun peeling these stickers off as the girls had putting them on the crib!  This happened right before bedtime and Blake couldn't understand why they had to come off immediately.  I have enough experience with stickers to know that the longer they stay adhered the harder it is to remove them!  

Alyssa Turns 2

Two?  2?  Really?  Yes, she's 2!  We spent her special day at home with a cookie cake, balloons, and presents.  It was a great day!

Addison had to get a present too!

Little Swimmers

Addison fell asleep on the 10 minute ride to swim class last night, so she still looks sleepy in this picture. Alyssa was raring to go though!  Gosh, I have some cute kids!
