The New Room

Well, I am back by popular demand. Actually, I am back because my computer is now out of rehab thanks to a friend. So much has happened and I have been unable to share due to my computers drug usage, or what appeared to be. The screen was on some whacked-out-crack and was so blurry that I couldn't even read the words I was typing. It was to the point that when I needed to go to my banking site I would have to copy and paste the balances into word pad and change them to a size 72. This is no joke, folks. At any rate, it is fixed now and I can see just fine..thank goodness, because if I didn't get a Bejeweled Blitz fix soon, I may not have made it. More on this later.

We have been enjoying the end of our Summer...oh wait, Summer? Was there one? We have been enjoying the end of Spring and are now ready for Fall. I always know it's here when football starts. And then I pray for a soon coming end. To the football, that is. Only because it takes up about 90% of my husbands free time of which he has little.

On the kid front, both are well. Elaina is getting a little personality and has taken to screaming as though she is hurt when she sees Zachary coming. I can't say I blame her. I am sure the fear is real. I know that I would be scared if someone three times my size was running around my very fragile head, zooming airplanes left and right at full speed, and I could not be sure when next tractor attack would happen. It really takes it out of her.

Zachary got a big boy room the other day. We came to the conclusion that it would not be safe for them to share a room. With normal children, yes, but with Zachary, I think not. We knew that he would be climbing into the crib with her and trying to kick her out, and succeeding. That, or piling toys on top of her. It just seemed like a better idea to give him his own room than to spend $200.00 on a video monitor and have them both in a room the size of a dog house. Perfect for a nursery, not so perfect for the two of them.

He loves his room. He got to choose between an airplane room and a tractor room. He was torn, but ultimately chose the planes and "heli-doctors" as he calls them. It worked out well because Tim was able to find some old Air Force posters with sweet airplanes on them. We got Air Force fabric with airplanes on it as well, and I sewed him some curtains. He was excited. Especially about the fact that he now has a queen sized bed (because we used to use this room for a guest room). He told us "Big bed! It's a big one. Heavy one. I pick it up," and then he tried to lift it. Lucky for us, we caught it all on tape.

Well, he is currently helping Elaina get maximum height in the baby swing by laying under it and pushing as hard as he can, so I'd better go. More later! Sorry it's been so long.
