Braving the cold.

There hasn't been too much for me to update on lately. Life seems to just be going on day by day over and over boring and boring.

It certainly doesn't help the monotony when it is freezing outside! We had to go grocery shopping yesterday and I was dreading it! We started off this cold spell with a gallon and a half of milk for Alana and she busted through that thing. What can I say? The girl loves milk! Anyway, we had to pick up a few things so that meant braving the cold.

The girls went out in their footie pajamas because it is warmer that way. Maybe it's weird, but at least they didn't have cold ankles! I also forced mittens and a hat on Alana, which made her pretty angry. This girl does NOT like to wear gloves and hats. I chose the mittens so she'd have a bit more trouble getting them off and, of course, that made her even angrier. Oh well...she wasn't winning this one.

We got to the store with my nicely written down list of items and go pick up what we need. We got a cart full of food for only $100.00. I was proud! For the next two weeks we'll only have to go out for milk and bananas! GO ME!

Of course I get home and what do I realize? I forgot to get the last thing on the list. I ALWAYS forget something! Alana's vitamins were the forgotten this time. We were lucky in that we still had enough left over to last us to the next shop date. I'm glad that I usually pick up a replacement before things run out.

So there is my saga of going to the store. I've had a boring week and that has been my highlight....and it's a boring highlight...oh well! There's always next week! Or at the rate this weather is going, next month.

Now for some pictures!


She is pulling up on everything! She even stood on her own a little bit!

Both kiddos...they are getting so big.

Something really weird happened to me the other night.

I was sitting at the computer at 12:15 a.m. typing to someone when I just felt weird and it started to look like the table my laptop sits on was falling over. I felt really freaked out and tried to get up to go get Jimmy and I could hardly walk to the bedroom. I heard a bunch of crashing behind me as I was trying to walk because I pushed myself off the table to get up and I guess it fell. I made it in the bedroom and tried to wake Jimmy up to tell him what happened, but he didn't really do anything. I think he was still asleep. Anyway, I went back into the living room and the only thing that fell were a hairbrush sitting on the table and the laptop. It was really freaky. I really thought the entire table crashed down.

And then around 4:00 in the morning I hear one of the girls waking up and I stood up to go to their room and fell right over. My entire right leg was asleep! It was like I didn't even have one! My husband was up immediately for that one and wanted to make sure I was Ok...that made up for him sleeping through my earlier issues.

What a weird night...it didn't help that I was reading about ghosts...I was freaked out all night! I really freaked out when the light I was using in the living room just shut off as I was cleaning! Nobody was near the light switch or plug when it shut off. I had moved something right next to it a minute before so I guess that moved the plug...I just wonder why it took a minute or two to fall out. Weird. And I almost forgot, Kylie has been sleeping out in the living room lately, but that night she was able to go in her crib, but when I was in the living room I started to think Kylie was in her pack n' play like normal because it sounded like she was rolling over in there. Strange.

In other news, I just copied some old entries into my blog. I put my birth stories and my wedding day. They are archived at the correct month and year if anyone is interested in seeing them (June + July 2006 and May 2008) If I find any more I may add them. I've been looking through an old livejournal of mine I have been thinking of getting rid of and wanted to preserve these posts.
