As of late

I have been a blog slacking tool. So, cheers to a new start and a daily pile of junk from me!

Life has been hectic. We all just got over a nasty run of the flu, everyone other then Daddy B that is. How on earth that man avoids getting everything is beyond me, but I would trade immune systems with him in a heartbeat. We are unsure of what flu we had as they are no longer testing here unless you are hospitalized but it was nasty! Alexis was in the ER for 10hours and we made about 8 trips to and from the doctors and clinics between the 3 of us. I still have the lingering cough but it is (way TMI here) finally losening up and Im able to get a bit of relief. For now anyways. Poor Alexis was down and out for 7 days and Me for 6. Brooklyn got off very easily and was only sick with a fever and such for 2, just mild stuff beyond that.

Alexis is in Senior Kindergarden and doing great. The things this child comes out with amazes me daily. Her teachers are always so impressed with her work but this mama believes she is way to smart for her own good. Testing will start next year, so that whole load will be very interesting! Lex just turned 5 on Thursday, which was spent at home as she was still battling the last bit of the flu. Luckily she was starting to perk up by that point and we were able to bake some birthday cupcakes together and enjoy a great dinner. Daddy B even got 1/2 a day off to spend with his special little lady.

Brooke...well...is Brooke. She is a pure 2yr old terror and honestly, we kind of love every minute of it. I know right, who on earth loves the terrors of a 2yr old. Let me tell you, this child is so full of charm, attitude and personality that my day would be an utter bore without her. Shes a little whip full of smarts and if you are not careful what you say or do around here, it will come back to bite you full force in the face at a later date.

Both the little ladies are in swim and gymnastics this fall/winter. Saturday morning swim class is alot of fun, both the girls are doing much, much better then expected. Lex, my child who fears the water, is the only one in her class who will now willingly swim under the water a few feet to her teacher. No fear on her. Brooke was a bit hesitant at first, which was strange, as she is not a hesitant person at all. She loves the water, but the idea of putting her whole head under was not a go at first. Now she will do under water throws (the instructor will take her, put her under water and "throw" her to daddy B) and put her face in without a second thought. Gym is as fun as always. Lexi is training like a little mad man and loving every second. SHe is so close to the 5 girls on her team that it is like going to play with your best friends every day that she goes. Brooklyn got placed in a class for 3/4yr olds (born in 2006) and the plan is to up her next summer to the spree team with the 06 girls as well. So far, so good. She definatly takes after her sister in the gymnastics department.

Well, that is all for now, stay tuned later this afternoon for our randoms of the day.
