I found the kids some cute shirts for the holiday. They say the same thing, it was hard to find them, Walmart only had girl shirts and Target only had boy shirts, go figure. Here are some pics of the kids in their shirts(and their Lucky Care Bear they got for christmas just happened to matched perfectly-thanks Aunt K).



M had her Occupational therapy. The therapist brought along a student from the collage to tag along, M really seemed to like her. Her thumb movement it slowly coming along, and her right side is doing much better than the left. So we need to "make" her use her left more, in other words-hand her things on her left side so she's more inclined to use that hand. As far as her sensory issues, the therapist feels at the moment it's not fully interfering w/her development, but we need to work on it so it a)doesn't get worse and b)doesn't start interfering. She also said it's not the worse case she's seen so she wants us to really get on her sensory exercises EVERYDAY even if she only lets me doing it for 30sec. If she's not showing any improvements on sensory in 3 weeks then she's going to see about getting her into the sensory room at the All Children's Center. There is a long waiting list and she would much rather her be able to do them at home so we'll she how she does. And for the curious ones :), her exercises are really fun(well I think so, though it pushes her fears), she sits on an exercises ball(either facing me or back to me) then I slowly lean her the left then the right and then backwards, we can also bounce her while doing it which helps ease her fears a little. At the moment she only moves about an inch(if that) in all directions, that's all she can handle right now.
Tuesday
M had her one year pictures, which came out really well. We used the same lady that did N's 3 year pictures. As soon as I get them I'll post them for you guys to see(a little preview before you get the real thing). M did really good, she made it through all of them w/out getting fussy.
Later that night I had my 2nd cake decorating class. I meet up w/my friend 1.5 hrs before class so we could get dinner and chat. Then it was off to class. We all had to bring a cake already frosted, so we could decorate it w/the styles we learned that day(stars, shells, zig zags, curves, and outlines), The teacher said bring what the class book says to for the 2nd class so I did(the only one that totally listened to the book-silly me) so my cake was frosted like blue though it came out more mint green. Everyone else had white, which like I said before the teacher is really laid back so she didn't care as long as you had a cake and it was frosted. So here are pics of our cakes....I don't have a before of my friend's cuz.......well, she wouldn't let me it was pretty sad looking(her words not mine!!)
My cake before....see how smooth it is.....I'm so proud of it!!
After
I have to work on the writing I guess you are suppose to do the writing first, the teacher told me this AFTER I was done. O'well
This is T's it came out really cute! After she got home she told me she though about what it was missing......Grass around the pond-Next time!
Wednesday
I forgot to mention that on Tuesday we headed to the phone store on our way home from pictures to look at the phones in person that we picked out on-line(we have been desperately needing new phones for a few months now, and they both are starting to show signs of giving up in the last few weeks so it was time). The guys there were really nice and helped us out. The phone that hubby had decided on, they only had in pink(I don't know why he didn't want it ;)), so the guy was going to pick up a black one at another store for him the next day(Wednesday) and he would be in at 12. I still hadn't decided since the one I first wanted we found out wasn't such a good phone. So when went back Wednesday around 1pm. The guy got us all set up, got all our phone numbers into the new phone, gave us a quick run down of the phones features and how to get to them. Now the funny thing is hubby ended up getting my second choice and I ended up w/his first choice(in different colors though:)) Here are our new phones, I love mine, I just have to get use to were everything is I've hung up on hubby a few times and missed a few calls I have to go find ANOTHER ring tone since the one I got last night isn't working out so well, I've missed almost all the calls I got today.
Hubbys's in the black. Mine is the red.
Hubby took a picture of me trying to find a new ringer tone for my phone, he thought I looked cute w/his headphones on....I think I look silly!
After we picked N up from school my friend T came over w/her kids so the kids could have a play date. They all had fun.
Thursday(today)
Not to much today. Grandpa had Stanley Steamer out so they also did our living room, which was nice. The only "bad" thing was I wasn't excepting them til Monday so grandpa called me and told me that they would be there w/in an hr. So I had an hr to put all the toys away in the living room then find some where other than the living room for everything. Needless to say there was a SMALL walkway from the bedrooms to the living room and a SMALL-squeeze-pass-the-chair-and-the-wall-walkway from the living room to the kitchen. And the only thing I could get to in the kitchen was the fridge. Man the kids have some big toys! After they cleaned, they said it would be pretty wet for at lest 2hrs and to stay off it.....where I was suppose to go w/a baby and a house that I could barely walk through at the moment, so we headed to the store to pick up some last min Easter stuff I needed anyways, and just walked around the store for awhile, till it was time to pick up N.
On a good N note, on Tuesday and Wednesday I sent him to school in shorts since it was warm out, he ended up skinned his knees BOTH DAYS, one knee each day. So today I sent him in pants and I had made a comment to him that he was going to wear pants today so he wouldn't hurt his knees again. Well, the teacher told me that he made it a point (using words and signs) that he was wearing pants today so he wouldn't get a boo again! Isn't that to cute!! Well, now that you've read my novel for the day I'm off to bed.
