Thought I would just post a few new pictures. We've spent the past month slowly passing this sick bug around to each other. I suppose it would've been to fortunate to have everyone sick at once. I think we're all finally healthy again though. At the moment I'm in the middle of waging a losing battle against the ants in the kitchen and thinking about  sleep training Chantel. I need to reread a few things before I start though. Any helpful advice on sleep training? Or how to keep your 3 year old in bed anytime after 5 AM? Maybe it's Logan in need of sleep training these days. The last few weeks he has decided that anytime after 5 is fair game to get out of bed and start the day with a bang. Glad you have such a zest for life Logan but would it be too much to ask for all that energy and joy to start after 7?

Okay I've conceded. I've finally come to the realization that I'm absolutely losing my mind! Is this what happens when you have kids? They deplete all your brain cells? This third child has taken the short supply I had left. There's a quote that used to hang at my mom's house that read,"Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most." My sentiments exactly. In only a weeks span I had thought of some pretty stupid things I 'd done.  This week I did a load of  laundry without soap. I found a freshly washed disposable diaper in the dryer. I stepped away from the stove to grab Chantel and burned caramel popcorn. While reciting to myself the  things I needed to grab before walking out the door I put deodorant on the outside of my black shirt. With car seat in one hand and keys in the other I rushed to the front door repeatedly clicking my  keyless remote. After a few frustrating tries I finally realized why the front door was not opening. :) Once in the house I had 10 minutes to grab a few things and head out to pick up Maddy. In those 10 minutes I lost my keys. One of Logan's bedtime pull ups somehow made it through the washer (actually twice).....And yes I'm starting to realize I have laundry issues. I think I've burned more dinners in the last few months then in the last few years. To top it off the other day might have been one of the dumbest things I've ever done. After pressing the ignite button on the BBQ a second time I decided to stick my face over the grill to see why it hadn't started . Uh luckily I only singed off my eyelashes....At the moment my keys have been lost for 2 weeks and search and rescue is about to throw in the towel. I am desperately hoping that there's some miracle cure to stop this process.  I'm going to have Alzheimer's in my 30's. Or maybe once the kids are grown and out of the house you get those brain cells back and that's how you become wise. Or at least seem wise to the rest of us. Yes, I think I'm going to hold out hope for that one and we'll see how it goes in about 18 years.
