The Breakfast Of Champions


They did it, ya'll.  The Louisville Cardinals brought back the National Championship title to the Commonwealth.  That's the good news.  The bad news is that the night went just as I predicted it would go.

Eli would not go to sleep, and there wasn't much I could do because Ellie was still up at midnight from all the yelling, cheering, and celebrating.  Shortly thereafter, things got interesting.

For starters, we could not find a single pull-up.  So, we put Eli to bed in a swim diaper...mistake number one.  Additionally, Ellie hadn't pooped since Saturday, so we gave her Miralax (per doctor's orders) before bed...mistake number two.

After finally falling asleep, Ellie woke up crying.  When I went to check on her she had had a MAJOR blowout.  I'm talking poop up her back, through her sleeper, and on her swaddler.  I cleaned her up, changed her, fed her, and put her back down only to be awakened by Eli shortly after.

When I picked him up to put him back in bed, I was immediately soaked from where he had peed though his swim diaper.  So, I changed kid number two and put him in our bed to sleep since I wasn't about to change the sheets on his bed.

Needless to say, everyone was exhausted this morning, so Eli stayed home from daycare.  He played around the house while I cleaned and worked on laundry.  We're finishing the day by enjoying the beautiful spring weather, and hoping for a much better sleep tonight!!

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone!  I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal!  Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three!  Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work.  Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later.  Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week.  Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt...

Running Through The Sprinkler

Playing in the sprinkler was on our summer bucket list.  To me it seems weird just checking if off and moving on to the next activity because when I was younger, we ran through a sprinkler pretty much every day.  Putting it under the trampoline and letting it keep all the "jumpers" cool, was a favorite pastime. I cringe now. What the heck were we doing with eight kids on a net-free trampoline anyway? Ha! Back to the present…Eric treated the pool yesterday, so we couldn't swim which made it the perfect night to drag out the water hose and sprinkler.   Neither child loved it at first, so we turned down the pressure.  They slowly but surely warmed up to it.  Bless her little heart, Ellie stood right in the middle and took a direct hit.  She would make the worst face you've ever seen then cry ridiculsouly if you tried to move her.  Eli ran straight though the middle with his eyes closed.  Thank goodness our y...

Sunday Funday

Ellie redeemed herself last night by sleeping EIGHT STRAIGHT HOURS!!  Ya'll, we are so blessed to have a good sleeper, and Eli is doing great too!  There are no word to express our gratitude. I try to get pictures on Sundays before church because it's pretty much the only day that we all look presentable, at least at the same time.  Some days I still have on work clothes and look ok, but the kids are in sweats from daycare, or they're looking super cute and I'm in gym clothes.  Please tell me you understand this! At church today, a friend's son gave Eli two brand new pair of baseball pants.  Brett plays ball for a local high school, and Eli thinks he hung the moon.  You can imagine how excited he was to sport his new pants.  As soon as we got home, Eli had change into them and a baseball shirt...love his heart! Eric let me take a little nap, and when I woke up we decided to let Eli swim in the kiddie pool since it's about a ba...
