hello monday?

hello monday?

it does not feel like a monday around here because...

wait for it,

it's SPRING BREAK!

yippee :) Bo is home with us, and after a fabulous weekend away with friends in gorgeous Switzerland, having an extended weekend with the hubby is almost too good to be true.

But, I am keeping it real, following after my friend, Gillian, and I must admit it's not all sunshine and flowers around here. Yes, it is beautiful outside, but this whole mommy business is hard. This morning I dashed down to the pediatrician here in town for our 10-month checkup. However, I wasn't going to let the doctor give Katy Jo her "jabs" because she is already uncomfortable with this ongoing diaper rash. I was relieved that we already had this appointment lined up, because after our last appointment on Wednesday, the diaper rash has not improved. Basically, the doctor said that it is still a fungal infection and that I must keep applying the ointment three times a day, airing out her bum, and if it doesn't improve by Monday, we have to return. I will do my best. It was a difficult appointment for Katy Jo and I both - I didn't have time for breakfast, had to pee and got peed on twice! Katy Jo was due for her morning nap and didn't know what was going on.

All in all, we survived.

So, to sum up...

hello Spring Break

hello diaper rash

that is all.

how about you?

hello monday

"hello monday" is back by popular demand. just kidding. but I did have one request so that should count.

today we are doing a lot of spring cleaning around here. by "we" I mean Katy Jo and me. Bo lucks out again with the excuse of teaching/coaching every day. really though he is much appreciated. last friday he had Katy Jo for three hours at school so I could take a break and check out a second hand store in France. then after coaching, he came home and whipped up a delicious meal (plus brownies!) so here is what Katy Jo and I are saying "hello" to this morning afternoon.

hello april!

hello raindrops on my window.

hello teaching miss Katy Jo not to screech (so loud)

hello five more days until we get Bo home with us all day (spring break!) hope he is as excited as we are. ;)

hello to spring cleaning motivated by some very special visitors.

hello pajamas- all day! this never happens, but considering our busy weekend I'm going to go ahead and say it's allowed.

hello to throwing out junk, dusting and trying to get this house mold free!

hello to warmer weather to show off Katy Jo's cute little legs again!

and hello beautiful flowers everywhere!

what is everyone saying "hello" to this Spring day?

Around Here

Ok, around here we take a lot of video clips of our "little miss." We love her so much and don't want to miss a thing!

Yesterday, I was lucky enough to bring Katy Jo to work with me. Not too many jobs allow for that, huh? I don't want to mix baby with nurse's office germs... but once in awhile, if I'm careful and keep her far away from all the kiddos that walk in, it's okay.

Ms.Jan has all her own kids in town, so she had the day off. ;)

This is a short clip of Katy Jo plus I tried to give you a tiny peak of the office. I did have one student resting so I couldn't show you all of it. It was raining outside, so that is why you see students running (to class) into the other building. Also, you can see the beautiful blue curtains that Nancy made!

Also, if you're really bored, this is a slow (but super cute) video of our little "purse snatcher."

And last but not least, today I ran to grab the camera after Katy Jo showed me that she knew how to share. (Please excuse the super closeup angle- agh double chin! I need a tripod!)

thank you, to you all, for keeping up with us!
