The kids seem to be on the mend. Tally got a rash at school last week that I can only assume was an allergic reaction to something she got into. The doctor thought it was viral, possibly fifths disease but it was gone after 2 days so that pretty much ruled it out. She has sensitive skin just like I do so I can definitely see this being a reoccurring problem. Otherwise both kids have colds that just don't seem to be going away, again... possibly allergies.
Finished this one last week. It was a nice read, really loving Mia Kings books. I have one more that I'm waiting for at the library, her newest one "Table Manners".
I think that is all I have for now, I might be back tonight or tomorrow to start my menu plan posting again.
I don't know who this kid with the spiked hair is...
The curls are gone! :(
A few of my favorite pictures of the kids from this week!
Tally is doing great. Getting ready for school to start next month.
I went to my doctor the week before last and am still waiting for my test results. I'm not expecting them to be great but I'm hoping they are at least decent. Will post when I get them.
I've been in a funk the past few weeks, maybe even a month. I haven't been exercising or wanting to get out much. Talking to a friend I decided I needed to make myself exercise and maybe it will get my spirits up too. So I just finished my 18 min walk at home video, 3 days in a row so far. It's a start since I haven't been doing anything the past few weeks and I can definitely feel it. I guess I should just be happy my weight stayed the same during my "break" lol So far I am feeling better. I have a scrapbook crop tomorrow night, thanks Lisa for inviting me. I desperately need to get out of the house away from the kids. It's rare I get away from both for anything longer than a trip to the grocery store or getting my hair done. ;)
Devlin is doing well. He passed his hearing screening but they are going to check him again in a few weeks because he has a bit of ear wax that we might have issues with. We will meet his Speech Pathologist on Tuesday and start his therapy. I'm excited to see how much she can help him!
We went to the park on Tuesday... (I accidentally double sharpened my resized pics, ignore that)
and I even finished a page with Gina's new kit Spring Bloomers
I've been slacking on my reading a bit. I just finished Lethal Legacy the night before last and started on Bare Bones yesterday (1/3rd of the way through so far). Right now I'm looking into getting a container garden book. They are all checked out at the library so I'm thinking about hitting the bookstore on my way to get groceries tonight. Matt and I have really been discussing this since we don't have a lot of space in our court yard between our condo and garage but are wanting to grow a few vegetables this year. Will keep you posted on what we come up with on that one and if you know of a good site or book to research this more...please share! Hope everyone has a nice weekend!
Little post of how the week went.
Devlin had his evaluation for Sooner Start yesterday because of his not saying much. They test for Adaptive, Personal-Social, Communication, Motor and Cognitive. He has to be 50% behind in one area or 25% in 2 areas for them to help. He passed all but Communication which they put at 12m level, not surprising since he only says Mama, Dada, Night Night and Dog at 19 months. This program is free and they come to our house to work with him. The Speech Pathologist that gets assigned to us next week will go over how often we want his/her help (how often we want them to come by) and what we want Devlin to learn. For as long as we would like their help or until he is 3 yrs old. He has his hearing screening on Wed the 22nd to determine if he has any fluid in his ears that is causing him to not hear certain sounds. Will keep you posted on how it goes.
Few pictures from yesterday just for some cuteness...
I finally started on Scarpetta which is 500 pg book and taking me a few days when I can fit it in, most likely will finish it tonight.
Then I have these on my nightstand.
I think that's all for today. I've been menu planning, just forget to post it on here at the beginning of the week. I'm going to work on keeping that up!
and I missed Menu Plan Monday again. I am such a scatterbrain lately!
We are having Devlin speech evaluated and our coordinator just left after setting up his evaluation for next week, we're also having his hearing checked even though I think he is fine in that area. I really think he's ok with his speech also but it's better to have it checked now if something is wrong.
So onto my menu for this week...
- Roasted Chicken from the store (grocery night)
- Parents house (Mom made beef stew)
- Turkey Sausage on homemade whole wheat buns (turned out decent)
- Breakfast (whole wheat pancakes, turkey bacon and scrambled eggs)
- Tomato Basil Fish (Saving Dinner cookbook) and Roasted Asparagus
- Shredded Pork Tacos
and more books...
I'm reading Grave Secrets now and I still have The Fortune Tellers Daughter and Scarpetta left from last weeks library trip. I also picked up Books 3-6 in the Chronicles of Narnia.
in scrapbooking...
I finally finished something! It's a new month which means a new Pimp My Page Challenge at PeppermintCreative.com by me that should be posted sometime in the next few days. Miss Mint is having issues with her computer so I'm sure she'll put it up as soon as she is able to. Here is the layout that inspired the template, it's simple but that's all I have to give right now. ;) I'm hoping that this will jump start my creativity for more pages than I've done the past few months.
Saw this on my friends Suzannes blog....
