Snow in Louisiana, on December 12th-ish and 80 degrees on the 27th

well, i am not very good at updating this, sorry, like said before, being a full time working mom of 2, its hard. but, i am off work for a GLORIOUS 12 days! so i have sme catching up to do.

as i write this, it is 11pm on the 27th, Lacie's 2nd birthday is less than an hour away!

we had her party at ChuckECheese today. pics will come soon.

Christmas pictures need to be uploaded too. hopefully this week too!

but for now, here is some pic tures of the "20 year snow" (its the most snow we have seen in 20 years):
(they are not in order)





This is one when Lacie finally decided that she liked the snow!

this is about 8am that morning once the "blizzard" stopped
This is Lacie's first step in the snow, she hated that!
the sight out side of my door when daylight showed its face. beautiful and amazing!

She is sick....

well, i guess it was inevitable, she would eventually get sick. she has been well for a really longtime, almost a year! since her tubes in her ears, she has not gotten an infection or anything ill related. a little fever with teething but thats it. well, we got inside from Trick or Treating and i discovered she was running a 100 degree fever. my poor baby! she wouldnt eat supper and did not eat a single bite all saturday. she was cranky on sunday so i broke down and took her to After Hours. she has chest congestion, runny nose, major sore throat and red ears! acute Pharyngitis and ear infections.
she is on Augmenten so that will knock it out really quickly. thankfully i caught it before it could get worse.

Ok FINALLY! some new Pictures!!

checking out Mike The Tiger

Shoes!!
sibling love



not sure what happened but i loaded duplicates....

i know, its been a while!

yes, i know, i have completely slacked on my motherly duties of keeping up with Lacie's job. for those of you with 2 little kids, a full time job and a husband who worships the XBOX 360, you understand, for the rest of you, well, too bad. :-)

Lacie is quite the entertainment these days. She speaks jibber jabber all of the time but her favorite word is SHOES. shoes are her favorite thing.

oh, and BALL, she thinks any and every thing is a ball. Pumpkins! she was playing at paw paws house and decided to pick up the little pumpkin and yell, "BALL" and then threw it down on the ground. pictures to follow, soon, i hope!

well, it is time for me to go home so i will try to update again super soon!

until then,

bye bye!

what;s new pussycat, whoa a oh.

ah well, it has been a while since i wrote in here, i am a slacker. yet i always find time to read all my favorite blogs, www.mattlogelin.com is my favorite.

Lacie is doing well, nothing new to report, the doctor seems to think she should be saying more words, she speaks a lot of gibberish. and can say NO very clearly and she points that finger! hahaha! funny stuff.

she is still taking a bottle of milk at night. i am not really worried right now, hopefully she will get rid of it before kindergarten.

she got bit AGAIN by one of her friends at daycare, and this time it was on her stomach! how the hell do you bit on the stomach is beyond me, but it was a good chomp and broke the skin, they are moving the biter out of her class since for some reason Lacie seems to be a good target, or maybe she tastes so sweet! i joked to the daycare people that i was going to bathe her in tobasco and that would keep the biters away.

the other day at target she picked out the most random black and white stuffed cat that looks like Felix from the comics, she lugs him all over. i'll post a pic later.

she has also been going through a sleep every other night thing that has gotten old quickly!

Her big brother is back home and he started shool today! 2nd grade! she loves her big brother and they have been acing up and down the house with their carts all night!

well, that about does it for me tonight, i am ready for bed!

until next time...........................

Crap, Lacie wants a Kitty, of all things, we don't need pets.

For the love of God, we do not need pets. Pets and little kids do not mix. Lacie's new word is CAT. she loves cats, which i guess is better than dogs, cuz i can't stand dogs.

Anyways, last weekend we went to Uncle Terry's house to find out that they have 2 kittens in their shed. Lacie Loves then as you can see in the below pictures.........

Dear Lacie, PLEASE SLEEP ALL NIGHT

mommy is about to lose her mind.
Lacie has been sleeping all night for months.
until the past 2 nights.
i really miss my bed, and the couch is too hot to sleep on all night.
Last night I did the best I could to keep her awake but she went to sleep before 7.
she could not keep her eyes open. she took a long bath and played but the minute i had her dressed, she zonked out. which was good cuz when she was awake, she was a screaming, crying, whiney mess. NOTHING made her happy.
except sleep.
so, of course, she wakes up at 12:30 last night, bright eyed and bushy tailed, and i had just gone to bed 2 hours before.
so we went to play in the living room until she decided to fall asleep at about 3:30.
she fell asleep on her pillow and blanket on the floor in the living room, so i decided to leave her there and camp out on the couch. it was too hot, Microsuede is very hot to sleep on. i had the fan and A/C going, but not good enough. i got some broken sleep and then of course, Lacie woke up at 6am. BOOOO, i wanted to sleep more, even though i would be late for work. What good am I at work if I am a zombie.
I pray that tonight is better. Thank God for the weekend

this time, we get our own pool and a new bathing suit, and does Lacie get in the pool? NOOOOOOO

so, i decided to buy Lacie a cute $5 blow up pool for the yard and a new bathing suit.
below is the story of how she refused to get in the water.
when we first went outside, i put her in the water, just her feet, and she freaked out.
i dont think the water was too cold, cuz later on, her brother went play in the pool and the water was warm and she still refused to get in.


momma, come with me.

i dont think so........
i like these big cement circles that lead me to momma's new ride.
Mommy, look how afar away i am! (not that far)
time to come back to mommy, too far for me.
there's my mommy
strike a pose in my princess suit
I am soooooooo cute!
let me go check out that pool again
Nope, don't think so, i am gonna sit on the steps with mommy
and maybe walk on the big circles again.

so, in the end, all the effort it took to fill that pool with water using huge bowls from inside (we dont have a hose hookup) she did not get in the water. at least i got some cute pictures.

Lacie's $2.00 swim suit

So on Saturday, we went to a birthday party for Lacie's cousin, Trigg. it was her first time to play in a baby pool! she LOVED it, as you can see in the below pictures. She did not want to get out.

Lacie loves to play with her big brother, Jonathan

but she is kinda lost right now........Jonathan is spending the whole summer at Paw Paw's! she goes looking for him in his room but that's okay, he'll be home to play on friday night!!!

Lacie went for her first visit to see LSU's mascot, Mike the Tiger

here are a few pics for you enjoyment

Biters at Daycare, Lacie must taste sweet!

What the hell is up with these little rugrats biting Lacie. almost every day she comes home with a bite mark. and her teacher told me this morning that she has A biter in the class, not BITERS. hmm. funny how the director of the daycare tried to tell me that Lacie bites too, that they all do. whatever. i mean, i told them if Lacie ever bites a child, i want to know about it. plain and simple. maybe if i bathe her in some Tabasco sauce, the biter wont bite anymore. haha, j/k. the kid has bitten her arms, fingers, her back! how do you get a good bite on your back? whatever.
