Whatchamacallit

We have heat!
Cary and Dean worked furiously for a couple of days to get all the ducting installed and hook everything up, and Friday night we had heat. Everywhere. ☺ Is there anything more glorious than to have warm air blowing on your feet when you're standing in front of the sink in the bathroom or kitchen?
 I think not.
Anyway, Sunday Cary moved on to a different project.
The shed/ storage room/ whatever you want to call it.
Greg came over and helped him and they got all the insulation up and some of the OSB. (boards) We're not doing drywall in there. 




 And this is all the stuff that we already had in there. Heh. Cary has to haul it all out and haul it all back in.

I've created a monster.
Britton is teething and he was sick a little bit ago. That meant that he was having a harder time breathing through his nose and sleeping at night.
I helped him out by holding him while he napped so that he could breathe and got suckered in and realized yesterday that the bum won't fall asleep or stay asleep unless I'm holding him.
This wouldn't be that much of an issue if he would actually fall asleep and let me put him down, but no. He decided yesterday that I should hold him at all times and all night.
So today was back to retraining him to go to sleep on his own. =P
He cried for over an hour this morning going down for his morning nap and he's cried off and on for about two hours tonight. (still crying right now)
 He's a little bit stubborn.
What's really bad is that all 3 kids are in the same room right now (long story) so they aren't going to get a very restfull sleep tonight.
Why don't I ever learn? ☺
Cary is gone tonight too, so it's going to be a long night for me I'm afraid.

P.S. Don't feel sorry for Britton, this is for his own good...feel sorry for ME, Aidan and Ella who have to try to sleep through this. ☺ I'm hoping he adjusts as quickly as Ella does. We had to do this with her around the same age and it only took one night and then she slept through the night every time after that.

Family Fall 2011 (Photo overload)

Sigh.
Sharon and I have been trying to arrange to get my family pictures done since August. It just hasn't worked out, and then we were finally able to do it and it was freezing that day.
As per usual, someone was always grumpy, whether it be the kids or the husband. ;o)
Photos are always nice to have whether people are uncooperative or not, especially since I don't think we've had a picture with all 5 of us in it, since our last photoshoot.
Thanks, Sharon!

Uh-oh!

I try to tell this boy not to grow up so fast--he's not listening to me.



He'll be walking before we know it.

Finally have a dresser/ nightstand so I have somewhere to put my clothes. Oh happy day.
(If I haven't mentioned it before, this house is small, so none of the other dressers we have would fit in this space and let you walk through to the bathroom.) :)
