We finished our spiders, except for the googley eys, I still can’t find them!

So last night was a little rough. Kyla was up for a while… going pee about 3 or 4 times, I don’t remember but eventually she went back to bed. I was tired today!!

We get up this morning eat and get out the door to gymnastics. But when we get ther it was packed!! We had to park in a back parking lot that I didn’t even know existed. I figured maybe there was a couple Bday parties going on…. NO. We go in and it’s CRAZY, kids everywhere and gymnastics is insane and FINALLY it dawns on me, there’s NO gymnastics this week due to it be Mid-Winter break for the schools. I mean, duh, Preston’s out of school… I have no memory, maybe it’s due to a lack of sleep :0).

We finally get back to the car after a potty trip and arguing about not playing on the slides(they have a climbing structure there) and call Dad and get him for an early lunch. We hit McDonald’s. I felt bad because they didn’t get to do gymnastics and then I wouldn’t let them play on the slides because we had to be somewhere at 1…. they were happy with McDonald’s. Preston loves the slides/climbing thing and Kyla just hung out with us and made about 3 trips to the potty, not going once! So then we decided to leave, Dad had to go back to work and that’s when Kyla decided she wanted to go play, too late :0)! So we left with her screaming. It doesn’t last long she just has to voice her opinion!

We drop Dad off and venture to a friends for a Playgroup. We a little early because of no gymnastics and I thought it would take us longer to get there. It was only our 2nd time going that way to her house…. sorry Jen! The kids had a blast. Kyla got a hold of a Littlest Pet Shop thing and was in heaven. Preston played with his friends upstairs in the toy room and had lots of fun… it was nice to “get rid” of him for a little while. He’s been obnoxious this week, maybe due to no school, I don’t know. Anyways, Kyla went potty about a million times. She had to poop but refused to. She wanted a diaper again but I stuck to my guns and said no. I know she won’t go in her pants because she doesn’t want to mess her pants… at least I have that going for me :0) She is doing really well, we were gone all day and she did awesome and finally pooped in the potty after we got home, yay!

Okay back to the playgroup fun. The kids decorated cupcakes. Preston basically put as much stuff on them as possible but has NO interest in actually eating them. Kyla on the other hand just had a plain cupcake, she was happy! Preston did eat some M&M’s, his favorite. So after the sugar kicked in the kids went off again upstairs playing, well, almost. The next thing you know someone is crying and I thought it was Preston but was like nah, even Kyla realized it was him. So we get up the stairs and he’s holding his eyes and said his friend sprayed him with something. I was like okay let’s wash it out THEN I saw what he got sprayed with, WINDEX. I was totally fine with it being some soap or smelly thing but a cleaner totally freaked me out. Especially since I didn’t know how much got sprayed and he wouldn’t open his eye, he just kept crying/screaming. I got him in the bathroom and tried to wash it off, he got mad and pulled away from the sink and then I realized we need to call someone to make sure we don’t need to go to the Dr. Luckily Jen called Poison Control and they said to wash it out for 10 minutes with warm water. So by then he had calmed down a little and we got him to sit still and sprayed water from a squirt bottle on it and not to long after that he was fine, back to running around having a blast.

Me on the other hand had a throbbing headache(I already had a small one before this happened) and when I went to get some Advil from my car my nerves got the best of me and I started shaking and the tears fell. I wasn’t mad at anyone it’s just the afterwards part that always gets me. I can be as calm as can be in a crazy situation but afterwards, when all is fine I lose it… I guess it’s better that way :0).

So a little while after that we headed home… Kyla still needed to poop and wanted to go potty but then wouldn’t go, she was driving me crazy but like I said, she went FINALLY after we got home!

All-in-all we had a good day, never dull, that’s for sure :0)!!!

So we, yeah right, Kyla is doing great. She’s only wore a diaper to go to bed tonight… she doesn’t nap. She’s got it down, either she goes all by herself or she tells me she has to go potty. She’s still nervous about the pooping thing(didn’t even go today) but I got her a new seat for the normal toilet tonight so I hope that helps ease her anxiety. Otherwise, YAY!!!

Today we went to a playgroup at a friends house. Well, it was suppose to be here but since we were sick and it snowed and rained our drive-way is a sheet of ice so luckily a friend offered up her home. The kids had fun, Kyla didn’t really want to leave, Preston said it was boring at first but obviously had fun :0)! He was the oldest one there, by about 3 years but hey, he did good; if only we could get past the want to explore other people’s homes, especially the upstairs when we are all downstairs.

This was Kyla’s first trip out and about with no diaper and we had great success!! She had no problem peeing in someone else’s potty and I took her like a million times because the last thing I want is to have her pee on someone else’s carpet or couch… I would feel soooooooo bad!!! But she didn’t so all is good :0)! She’s such an awesome girl!

Let’s see what did we do at home… Well, Preston got a new game for the Xbox a few days ago.. we’ve already beaten it so now we just play whatever levels he wants. Which is probably how he likes it! Oh, we also made bridges with craft sticks(Popsicle sticks) the kids thought that was awesome. We have to work on the railing tomorrow for Preston’s bridge…. he is amazingly creative!!!

We also started making spiders. They painted Styrofoam balls and they took longer then I expected to dry, especially since Kyla’s was coated with paint. Preston’s was a bit better but I wanted him to wait so they could do it together because Kyla would of had a heart attack if she couldn’t do it too. Unfortunately Preston doesn’t like waiting but he managed to. We’ll put the legs in tomorrow and hopefully I can find the googley eyes… I’ve lost them, ahhh

OH, we got Preston’s Kindergarten registration notice today… he’s getting so big!!
