Sunshine...YAY!

The kids are outside playing, so I am going to try to squeeze in a quick update. Both kids were sick...we just are getting over that. Raleigh had croup and it was awful. He was so sad and scared! Audrey just got the cold and no croup, phew!

The kids are now officially sharing a room, and now there is a room for Heidi and she doesn't even need it yet. Audrey did fine transitioning to the "big girl bed." She doesn't even try to climb out of it like Raleigh used to. Raleigh has been thrilled to have his sister in his room, but he has had some late nights. We usually get Audrey to sleep first and then about an hour later we put Raleigh in. Audrey is sound asleep but Raleigh will still hold a whole conversation with her. He has also been climbing out of bed and laying on the ground or in bed with her and waking her up. Last night she was yelling "BRO BRO" and throwing her blanket down because she was so tired of being woken up!

Raleigh also calls Audrey SweetiePie when they are playing. It is funny. Both of them have been doing really well on the potty and both help me out in the kitchen. I usually have the two kids fighting on a step stool right next to me, Gwyn waiting for me to drop food by laying up against the back of my legs, and my Heidi belly is crammed in the corner.

Speaking of Heidi, I am in my third trimester and everything is going well. Raleigh loves to feel Heidi move and she doesn't disappoint. Usually there is a foot or an arm sticking out somewhere. I have low blood sugar, but that just means I have to have more snacks...darn it! I have been avoiding having snacks because I only get 1/3 of anything I pull out of the cupboard.

The kids have been tantrum-y today so I am having trouble thinking of all the cute things they say! Raleigh wants to be a fireman now. He tells us about it all the time. And when we go to Costco we drive by their training facility and he is just in awe by it. He is always saving something from a fire in our house. We finally took the opportunity to give him a fire escape plan, and he was shocked that he would be allowed to run next door by himself! I am hoping he doesn't imagine a fire just to test it out! I have also tried teaching him to call 911, but he is anti-phone now. So I guess if something happens then the dog will have to call!

Raleigh just came in and told me, "I took toys from Audrey, mom, so I am in trouble." I hate when he disciplines himself! I have nowhere to go with it!

Audrey is obsessed with the trampoline and we have to keep the curtains shut most of the time to avoid meltdowns. She loves airplanes and is always trying to find one when she hears it. She LOVES clothes and dresses are her favorite! She has reorganized her pajama drawer a million times. She likes to help me fold laundry by pulling out the clothes and telling me whose they are. Her two favorite stories are about Daddy and she makes me read them a thousand times over while she goes potty.

Okay, the kids are soaking from dumping rain filled buckets on each other so I guess I'd better step in!
