Silly Girls & Sleepy Lindsey

I took a couple pictures of the girls sitting together on Lindsey's bed. They were having a good time playing up there and looked so cute doing it that I had to take a couple pics. Also, Lindsey was sooo tired this afternoon after picking up William from school, that she passed out in the car and stayed the same way that I put her when I laid her down in her bed. Kinda funny looking, but cute at the same time :)

More Playtime for the Girls

Disney Trip!!

Lindsey had a great time at Disney!! We spent the first day at Magic Kingdom, which included a few scary rides, in Lindsey's opinion. The following day we all agreed that a day off from the theme parks was a good idea and spent that day lounging by the pool, or in the pool playing around. Saturday we went to Disney's Hollywood Studios. This park had several stunt shows (which we ALL enjoyed) and live action puppet shows for Lindsey in the "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" theme. Unfortunately, that night didn't go as well for several reasons. When we got back from the park, we noticed that Lindsey had a horrrrrible, weird cough. We also realized that we had only changed her diaper once that day thus leaving her horribly dehydrated. With the combination of onset of the weird cough, and her refusal to drink, we thought it would be best to take her in to the local Emergency Room and find out what was going on with her. The doctor diagnosed her with Crup and we had to end up getting her an IV since she continued to refuse drinking anything.

Five and half hours later, we left the ER, went back to the condo, slept for about two and a half hours, and then Jason had to leave for the airport to catch his plane back to Milwaukee. We spent the next couple of days visiting with my grandparents, and then headed back to WI on Tuesday morning. The kids were GREAT on the ride back, both days. Unfortunately, the weather was and has been sub-zero for the past few days. Not a very warm welcome...hahaaa. No pun intended...

Play Time with Sadie

Lindsey has been having a great time playing with Sadie while I am babysitting her. They have had a lot of fun playing with all of the new toys that Lindsey got for Christmas. Particularly, the Mickey Mouse tray with play-doh, and the Dora Playhut. We also took Lindsey to Chuck E. Cheese's last night so Lindsey could get out and play for a bit--that and we haven't been there since her birthday in August. She always say "Ch-Cheese" as we drive by it and tell her that we'll go there soon. A hodge-podge of pictures from this past week.

Fun with the New Toys!

Lindsey and William have been having a greattttt time playing with all of their new toys. Here are a few pictures and video of Lindsey playing with some of the new things that she got. In the last photo, see if you can find the "things" that Lindsey hid in the tree! She had fun decorating it. Also, did you notice that William is playing with Lindsey's castle? :)

Lindsey's 3rd Christmas

Lindsey had a great third Christmas yesterday. Despite neither kid sleeping well on Christmas Eve (and that means mommy and daddy too!) they both woke up in great moods and were ready to tear into all of the goodies that Santa had left for them. It seems that Lindsey has three favorite gifts from yesterday: the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, the Dora Playhut with tunnel, and her Disney Princess shoes! She also loves a little toy from her Clubhouse called "Toodles." She actually misplaced Toodles at Grandma Bower's house last night and that sent the entire family on a hunt for this teeny, tiny toy! Lindsey was walking all over the house calling out "Oh Tooodles!?!" We finally found the little toy tucked away in Grandma's Christmas tree after about a half hour of everyone searching....Sigh.

We also had a great time at Nana & Grandpa's house yesterday morning. Lindsey received the Dora Playhut there and loved climbing through the attached tunnel! Afterwards, we had a very nice brunch in the house that included, what else, a food fight! I think Uncle Jason is mostly to blame, but we all partook in the they very messy event:) All in all, a great day, and last night we even got some sleep.....Ahhhh. The holidays sure can take it out of you!!
