The weekend before a major life change :: kindergarten here we come!!<br />
<br />
Earlier this week was the World of Welcome where the students were invited to meet their new teacher and check out their new digs. Parker's teacher is sweet as can be and the school is really nice as well. The playground is incredibly huge so of course we had to take spend some time playing on the equipment. Based on Parker's expression it seems like she is pretty pumped to begin the next chapter of her life.<br />

Teagan had loads of fun too but crashed mere minutes after being buckled in. </div>

I had planned a big girls + mama afternoon which entailed shopping then catching the movie The Secret Life of Pets. But since Teagan was out like a light I decided to skip the shopping and hang out in the car until the movie started. Parker felt very cool being able to hang out in the front with me. </div>

Finally Teagan woke up, just in time to load up on Icees and popcorn and snuggle into the amazingly comfy theater seats. The movie was so cute, I would definitely watch it again. I probably would not drink 32oz Icee in one sitting again though. Ughhhhh.</div>

Countdown to kindergarten is ON. By Friday we will know which class Parker is in. Monday we get to tour her classroom and meet the teacher. Things are getting REAL!!<br />
<br />
Parker is beyond ready to move on from preschool. Academically she's killing, she makes friends with ease, and her confidence is so strong. I know she will thrive in this new environment and I can't wait to experience it all with her. P is very excited to ride the bus, meet new friends, and play with her neighbor friends. No fear at all.<br />
<br />
Teagan on the other hand might miss big sis a little bit. The reality of P not being in the same building with her has hit home. They clung to each other on the ride to school this week. Tears were involved. <br />
<br />
<br />

No crying allowed at Target though! Oh wait, I take that back. Once I broke the news to Teagan that the hideous garage-sale-esque scarf she picked out belonged to Target and only Target she was not happy about it. <br />

The fruits, erhm, veggies of their labor have paid off in the form of bright orange baby carrots. P & T are loving pulling these out daily and munching away. Next year we are going to kick the garden up a notch. By we I mean the girls. I keep three things alive--P, T & E--and that's enough for me right now. No need to add veggies into the mix!<br />

And a full on petting zoo! Check out that face on Teagan. This girl was obsessed with the ducks and chickens. She sat for the longest time with the chickens on her lap. When one would hop off she would walk over, grab it all by herself, and sit back down for cuddles. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This got me thinking--could we buy our own chicken?? If you saw how happy Teagan was in the presence of this feathery guy the same thought would be going through your mind. So off to Google to find the city ordinance I went. You CAN have chickens thoughhhhhhh you can only own 12 or less (easy) and you need to have at least one acre. We live on .6 acres and that's considered a very large lot. It is near impossible to find a house in our city with 1 acre of land so basically you can't have chickens. </div>

Nothing to see here except THE CUTEST BABY EVER. This girl has my heart. You know the saying about three kids? Certainly applies:<br />
<br />
First kid : I make the rules<br />
Second kid: I'm the reason we have rules<br />
Third kid : The rules don't apply to me<br />
<br />
True true & true!<br />

Sweet Sunshines of Minehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06809314514000850637noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473117852220407580.post-22977139275944003322016-08-02T09:15:00.001-07:002016-08-02T09:15:33.772-07:00Home Sweet HomeOur house. How I love the deep wooded backyard. The sledding hill. The trails that begin in our backyard and wind through the trees, connect to more trails, and eventually lead right into downtown. The court filled with friends for the girls to ride bikes with, color with chalk, and play chase, without concerns of cars whizzing by. The award winning schools that will benefit them in ways I can only imagine.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The only problem with the school district? The homes built in our specific area that we wanted to be in based on the elementary -- middle -- high school flow are all from the 60s to 80s with no open areas for new construction. Thankfully our home was mildly updated but for the past two years my plans to kick this home up a notch have been in full force. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Finally FINALLY we are almost complete with the living and dining room. This room never felt right to me though I couldn't put my finger on it. Right off the bat I knew the purple walls had to go. I must have been intoxicated though when I decided to go with baby blue paint. I wanted this to be our bright room (a choice I quickly regretted) so I decorated with reds, yellows, greens, anything bright was invited into this space. But it still didn't seem right. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So we made and installed a new mantle, changed the base trim from tan to white, and installed a new dining room light. Still not right. So I white washed the fireplace, removed the curtains, and took our the bright accents. Still didn't help. So we went all out and ripped out the wood floors and installed new wide planked rustic ones. Framed out the doorwalls and added crown molding. Turned the dining room wall into a gallery wall, repainted with Sherwin William's Lazy Gray, and tada. Go big or go home, right?? </div>

Today :: still need to figure out the decor aspect. What to put next to the fireplace? Should I add a tan couch in front of the fireplace like the red one? The current feel of the room is a little cold so I need to make it a bit more inviting. In the works. I also need a thin TV stand. I planned to make it myself though K fears I will experience death via power tools. Maybe an online purchase is the safest bet. </div>

Never ever will I get sick of our backyard vacation. With the intense summer sun and our pool solar cover we had water temps up to a heavenly 96 degrees last week. Borderline hot tub & fine by me. Though come Sunday after a couple days of clouds the water dropped back to where we heat it, 88 degrees. Still super warm, but poor little Teagan was unpleasantly surprised by the "cold" water as she took her first dip in the pool cannonball style. Cried cried cried!<br />

The weekend weather was insanely hot so we stayed indoors at the amazing Cosi Science Center. So much for the littles to touch and explore. Later in the day we wandered out to the Jazz & Rib Festival and enjoyed the super cool riverside splash pad. These girls have it made!</div>

This has been the summer of the heat wave. Days full of 80 and 90 degree temps have made for plenty of enjoyable days poolside. And while I will never complain about the heat, I definitely welcomed the cold front we had this past weekend. And by cold front I mean like 68 degrees and cloudy in the AM. Cold enough to find the motivation to bust out the single and double BOB and take a jog on the trails to our downtown. <br />
<br />
All three girles were able to enjoy all the park had to offer. Play structures, hide and go seek, the river, and plenty o ducks.<br />

After we burned mad calories from our run it only made sense to stuff our faces at the best coney spot our town has to offer. Bacon dog and cheese fries, coming right up. Run, eat fatty food, run back home. It's all about balance, right??</div>

Preschool: been there, done that! Parker’s graduation
ceremony was a lot of fun. Watching the
song & dance portion, something that P had been working on for weeks, and
seeing her get her diploma was simply the best.
Hard to believe that in a matter of months we will have a kindergartener
on our hands. Eeeeek!<o:p></o:p></div>

My poor, sweet, can do no wrong Emerson has ANOTHER EAR
INFECTION. Yes, another ear infection
even though she had tubes put in a short four months ago. This baby cannot catch a break. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
I could feel a fever on her Sunday night though
our thermometer was on the fritz so I wasn’t sure of the actual temp. A
little Advil helped that night and a little more the next morning. We had an appointment scheduled for vaccines
and by the time we got there her fever was almost 103. Quick ear check confirmed another
infection. I am hoping this is not going
to repeat itself over and over again.
Our pedi doesn’t want her on any more antibiotics (though she is on one
now) and we’ve already had tubes so…..I’m not sure what the solution is.</div>

I also love our new wood floors! You can catch a glimpse
below in the 2nd pic. The final piece of this home reno
is the kitchen. We basically have to
turn the kitchen upside down and remove the huge island and panty so that will
be intense. But after that we are on our
way to have a home with all brand new flooring from basement to first floor
to second floor. Giving this home the
face lift it deserves! <o:p></o:p></div>

Emerson is becoming a little daredevil. One of her fave things is to rock herself on
this horse and fast as she possibly can while looking completely innocent. Once that gets old, she tries to use the
horse to help her climb onto the couch.

Parker & Teagan have been dying to start a garden but we
have backyard problems to the tune of about 11 deer who will chomp that up in a
heartbeat. So we improvised and brought the planters up to our tallest deck
which is above our walkout basement. We bought the seeds & the dirt, found some unused
planters and off the girls went. I am
pretty proud at how diligent they have been with their seeds. Daily they check on their plants and make
sure to water them. Being able to see
them grow gets the girls super excited.
I don’t like gardening (bugs + dirts + time suck + weeding = the worst) but
I love that the girls love it. Maybe
next year we will invest in some legit large planters and kick it up a notch. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
Two weeks ago was the highly anticipated parent observation day at dance. Only three times per year are parents granted permission to come in and observe the progress of these little tappers/ballerinas. Love watching them show off their new skills! After class the girls were presented with trophies honoring all the progress made during the year. Teagan was SO excited to have her own piece of bling to proudly display on her "special shelf" in her bedroom. <br />
<br />
While dance is done for the season, we're already thinking about next year. Parker's teacher, Miss V, has been chatting with me about having Parker dance competitively as she thinks she's ready based on her skill set. Miss V grew up at DSD, dancing since she was P's age, and now teaches. Both of her daughters dance competitively and P is BFFs with her youngest. <br />
<br />
The time commitment is intense though, especially for a five year old. 8 hours per week during the summer and six per week during the school year. Geez. So to compromise for now we're looking at doing half the commitment. Three hours per week during the school year for jazz, tap and hip hop, two recitals and two regionals. Teagan will still take one class of tap/tumbling. I'm looking forward to the new classes, costumes, and lasting memories!<br />

Not only did dance wrap up but soccer did as well. I was so proud of Teagan for tearing up the field in her first season. She participated in the drills, scored goals, and followed the coaches instruction. Way to go! Poor thing was pretty sick for her last game though. Could barely move, let alone run, and kept asking if it was over. Finally it was and she was able to chill in the stroller while Parker played. By the time we got home she had a 102 fever and was exhausted. A Disney movie and early bedtime was the cure for this illness as she woke up the next morning feeling 100% better. <br />

Parker killed it this season. Endless goals, great defense, crazy hustle...major improvements from last fall. Soccer will remain on our schedule right along with dance. <br />

No matter what sport, Emerson will be there to cheer her biggies on! Though in reality, she loathes being stuck on the soccer field for 2 1/2 hours. All she wants to do is walk all over the field--perhaps trying to keep up with P & T--but that's not the best idea unless she wants to become a human soccer ball. <br />

My sister had her baby! My sister had her baby! So we made a quick trip to OH to meet the little guy. I don't have any pics as he was in the NICU but soon enough. What I do have though is a group pic with a scowling Parker. This mean mom couldn't locate the hospital play area and that + lack of sleep = angry face. </div>

Back in our state we've spent the majority of our weekends hanging out around the house. For the most obvious reason--the pool-- but also because Emerson is an epic snoozer. Girl will sleep, no joke, from about 7pm until we have to wake her at 4pm. That is 21 hours! TWENTY ONE HOURS! Every single weekend. It is insane. </div>

When you are sick of Snapchat you can always "relax" inside by ripping up dated wood floors. We bought our house based on location--nationally ranked schools, wooded backyard, and culdesac--knowing that the interior could easily be updated. And after countless projects from interior doors to crown molding to a basement remod and so on it's finally time to tackle the thin plank, yellowish floors. Up next is wide plank rustic looking bamboo!<br />
<br />
I'm hoping to have the room cleared out and swept up tonight and the floors completely installed by Sunday evening. My parents are visiting this weekend for the girls dance recital and I wouldn't really call this room guest ready :-P<br />
<br />

A project of this magnitude is loud. Circular saws and hammers are involved. Thankfully neither seem to bother Emerson. I sat her in her crib to keep her put as I ran downstairs to warm a bottle. The sawing was in full force so I didn't want her little ears to be hurt. Two minutes later I come up to feed her and find this. Face first passed out!<br />

When Trike-A-Thon rolled around I was more than happy to
help out for a good cause. The girls
(all three of them) had a nice time strolling and riding around to raise money
for St Jude. The morning started off and
ended pretty rainy but there was a nice break in the middle of it all. Rain or shine, the kids didn’t care in the
least bit. Their bikes and helmets were
at school and nothing was going to stop them from riding.</div>

Charity did not end after the Trike-A-Thon. Up next was the much anticipated MOM
PROM. I have been waiting for this

from the ticket sales and raffles were donated to an organization helping homeless
children in the next county over. MP was
an absolute blast and I can’t wait to do it all over again next year. <o:p></o:p></div>

And last but certainly not least one of my top four places
to shop (yes, I have four and only four—Amazon, Target, Nordstrom and
Costco). It’s always an adventure when
you combine three small children, endless samples, two carts filled to the brim

After a long hiatus, I am back!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Last week was a big week for the S family. Little baby E turned ONE! This girl can do no wrong. Sweet to the core, always happy, always ready to giggle, always ready to explore, she is simply the best. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Food is not her favorite thing (aka, Miss Picky), and what she likes one day may not be tolerated the next. Girl still loves bottles and while we'll have to wean her off those soon it's not today so we'll keep on with that. E thinks it's so funny to crawl away from us as fast as she can while looking back often to make sure we're following. When she runs she's bee-lining for either (1) the bathroom--gross or (2) the stairs. E can make it all the way up with ease. Girl has got moves too. If something plays music she cannot help but shake it ;) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Two little teeth, the first ones, started to poke up about two weeks ago. So adorable to see the beginning of a toothy grin. This past week Emerson started to walk while holding on to toys and is couch surfing. I give it one month before she's literally on the run. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Nighttime is my favorite. The way Emerson will cuddle up with a bottle and still lets me rock her to sleep melts my heart. The fact that she sleeps through the night every night doesn't hurt either ;) She adores her sisters and the feeling is mutual. When I was pregnant with E a lot of people asked me if I was disappointed that it wasn't a girl. NOPE! I yearned for another girl after seeing the bond between Parker and Teagan and can't wait to continue seeing how E grows with our family. </div>

A curious baby makes cooking (or doing anything else for the matter) a tad...interesting. So when that happens you have to bust out the big guns. A bunch of random stuff to keep E occupied so dinner can get made.<br />
<br />
Like the "secret pantry" which is filled with yummy things.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFyljO3dLFuolYpI1Zy-uOvFFZa0cVwaEOr1UAIFlzMgkuqPSfL7T5UTfbj-jAlceg743aQU0mfZ2XVwtUiYkVe7Fk-1THS_yjzWxKXhlW1i_FmmSeujFVbSvXnpWxGDvzeQ9WDbnFNnQ/s640/blogger-image-509242735.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Note to self: after letting baby play with the Costco sized salsa jar make sure she does not somehow unscrew it leaving it upside down on the floor. Not saying this happen, just watch out. Because it could. And it could be messy. Carry on now.<br />

Oh well, whatever. Who needs salsa for dinner? Emerson is on it with plan B. Microwaved blocks. The letter M to be specific. <br />

Today we hit up the random parking lot fair that I swear appears out of thin air. When I see it my jaw drops because it's just SO surreal and unexpected that I'm blown away. Super fun and the girls definitely got in loads of rides. <br />

Happy weekend to all! We are looking forward to watching both our soccer stars play on a nice spring day tomorrow :)<br />
<br />Sweet Sunshines of Minehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06809314514000850637noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473117852220407580.post-58434135495510826072016-02-09T19:23:00.001-08:002016-02-09T19:26:42.353-08:00Sick day & 9 Months Old!Remember in my last post how I said that I love the unexpected sick day? A bonus day out of the blue allowing me to cuddle and love on my sickie girls? Welp, we're at it again. Up to the plate now (again) is poor Teagan. <br />
<br />
Thursday the obvious sick signs we're all too familiar with at this point reared their ugly head. Fever. Lethargy. No appetite. Time for lots of fluids and lots of movies. The day went on and right before bedtime Teagan was snuggled up with Kris watching her last show of the evening. I noticed her cheeks were red. Crazy bright red. So I grabbed the thermometer and practically (okay, let's be honest here--completely and totally) freaked out when it read 104.1. 104.1?! Cannot be right so I checked her again. 104.5! Commence freak out and off the ER we go. Tests were run and came back as the flu. Poor babes.<br />
<br />
Fast forward to today. After ER visits a follow up is scheduled with the pedi. While Teagan was making some progress on Sunday, her fever and sick symptoms returned Monday afternoon. So (1) it's round two of the flu or (2) some bacterial infection . And to make it more enjoyable for all parties directly involved, the wet, deep cough that she has been battling for weeks that I really didn't think too much about? Yeahhhh, her poor little lungs are filled with fluid. So we're on breathing treatments, an antibiotic, off for chest x-rays tomorrow, and another pedi appointment. <br />
<br />
My heart aches for T. This winter has been SO brutal for her. For all of us, but definitely for Teagan. According to the pedi her system is so weak that she can't recover, hence picking up everything and anything. <br />

Teagan is tough though and was able to enjoy some Super Bowl festivities with us :)<br />

Parker, while not ill, has been experiencing her own symptoms called jealousy. All the attention sick T has been getting has been noticed and not entirely appreciate by our oldest. 95% of the time P is such an amazing Mother Hen and is the first one running to get T snacks, drinks, her fave toys, you name it. But the other 5% of the time she's like enough is enough! And when that happens there's no better time for a daddy-daughter date to the ice rink. Prior dates to open skate ended in tears but she tore it up this time!<br />

Emerson is NINE MONTHS OLD and sweet as can be. All foods are her favorite with cheese being #1, just recently I can say with confidence that she sleeps through the night more evenings than not, she's taking two or three naps a day, said her first word (dada), loves cooing and still lets me rock her to sleep. That is, when she's not busy sticking her tongue out. All day every day that tongue is out of her mouth!<br />

Full on crawling is on the immediate horizon. E is figuring out how to flop herself forward to scoot around. She loves taking steps when we're holding her hands. If we leave a room she makes it known that it's not okay in her book by screaming at the top of her lungs. And my favorite thing is that after four straight ear infections over the span of months we have fluid free ears as of today! Woohoo! I'll take it.<br />

Off to bed now but I will leave you with this shot I got Friday morning. Such a peaceful, beautiful morning looking out at our backyard. Hard to believe that this morning I woke up to the same view, only this time covered in fresh snow :) Happy Valentine's Week!<br />

Teagan has found joy in something new called the foot selfie. It's when you take a selfie of not only yourself but your foot as well. I think she is on to something epic here. Before you know it Kim Kardashian will be doing the same. <br />

Teagan has also become even more independent than ever. Recently she became lodged butt first in the toilet and was not a fan of peeing by herself. But we've overcome that obstacle and now she is back on the track of solo trips to the bathroom. Right down to hand washing too :)<br />
<br />

I apparently need assistance in the bathroom because when left on my own I run a bath, fill it with bubbles, turn on the jets, accidentally pass out on our bed (thanks germs!) and wake up to this. Woops.<br />

For the most part, someone in our house has been sick since September 29th. It first started out with Teagan's sickies turned pneumonia turned we have no clue what is going on. Then it turned into walking pneumonia for both me AND Kris. Do you know how long that nonsense lasts? Weeks. Like endless weeks. Like 8+ weeks. Then began the first of now FOUR in a row ear infections for Emerson which involve lots of throwing up. And in the middle of all that Parker got sick for an entire week. Then Teagan decided we hadn't had enough yet and puked eleven times. E.lev.en. So of course Parker had to do the same. This is an endless cycle people. <br />
<br />
So we've spent a lot, I mean a lot, of time at home. I have to admit, I love sick days. Not necessarily the sick part but the unexpected bonus time hanging with my loves. I mean, look at em ;)<br />

So after weeks and weeks and weeks of hanging out at home we finally were able to get out as a healthy family this past weekend. The girls requested Jungle Java, a big indoor play place thing, so that's exactly what we did. Even Emerson was able to get in on some of the fun. Though it does appear that she is trying to escape the madness. Too late chica!</div>

While filled with sickies, January was still a lot of fun. As all the months are! Now we're in February with lots planned. A trip to Nashville, multiple birthday parties, playdates, and I am still holding out for loads of snow. Come on winter! This girls needs a little more snow in her life before you bring the 55 degree days (like today!)</div>

Welp, the family and living room weren't much better. I mean, come on. Purple walls?? Had to go stat. As did the general dark vibe this room gave off. Even with three sliding glass doors letting in loads of natural light, the overwhelmingly heavy colors made the room feel sad. But as I typically do, I was able to see the potential in this space. Large and open and exiting right to our deck, I knew we would spend a lot of time in this area and wanted to get it right. <br />
<br />

<br />
Tada!<br />
<br />
The very night we moved in I made it my mission to paint the floor trim and built ins white which immediately cleaned up the space. Up next was three coats of a light blue paint and a nice mix of bright and rustic elements. I recently white-washed the fireplace to rid it of it's 70s vibe and my handy husband tore down the oh so hideous mantle and replaced it with something more our style. <br />
<br />

<br />
I'm not sold on the yellow curtains I bought the month we moved in but they still remain since I'm having a hard time finding the perfect fit. I'm thinking maybe a tan of some sorts might work well. Something that's not so bright and cheery since we have a lot of that going on already (helloooo red couch and blue rug). <br />

The connected dining room also got a much needed facelift. New light fixture, wainscoating and once again, pops of color. Not much eating goes on here though typically as 9 times out of 10 it functions as an arts and crafts area for the girls.<br />

Still up on the to-do list: replacing the sliding glass doors with french doors (much too chilly to tackle right now) and maybe some crown molding if Kris wants to tackle that project. But for the most part this room is complete and cozy and a great space for relaxation and play :)<br />

Ahhhh the playroom. Our little girly haven full of all things princess like. But this wasn't always the case.<br />
<br />
Upon move in we were met with the most disgusting of paint colors your eyes have ever seen. Dark brown and burnt orange, I wanted nothing to do with this mopey space. So I painted over the drab with light and bright green, added loads of girly touches and tada!<br />
<br />

<br />
When the house was built this room was originally designed as the master. The two nooks were to be the closets and directly across on the other side of the room was a door (since drywalled over) that connected to a full bathroom (which is now the girls bath) to complete the master suite. <br />
<br />
The builders also designed another super large area on the right side of the house. It came unfinished by default though if you wanted to pay extra it could be finished complete with a bathroom and would function as the master. So somewhere along the lines that happened and this room ended up being an extra bedroom. The only problem is this room is huge. Waaaaay too big for one kid. So for now it's our playroom, P & T share a room and E has a room all to herself. Whenever P & T want their own space we will most likely redo the playroom. Drywall it up and make this one large space into two more reasonably sized bedrooms.<br />
<br />
But I hope that Parker and Teagan will forever want to share rooms. They will, right?!?<br />

<br />
The nook on the left is our cozy reading area. Typically there's a fun bright bean bag in the corner but, like most of our toys, it must has grown feet and moved on to another spot in the house. The Big Bird chair is a throwback from when I was little. And behind those sparkly curtains is my hands down all time favorite part of this room:<br />

Filled with dresses, crowns, skirts, shoes, all the girly things. I love seeing the girls go behind their princess curtains in normal clothes and emerge princessed out to the max. <br />

Another update in the playroom, as well as the rest of the house, was a new door. The doors we moved in with were plain Jane flat pieces with no detail. All were swapped out and really make our house look that much better. Same with the carpet. The day after we closed we had all existing carpet pulled out and replaced. Nice, clean and fresh, Yes please!<br />

Next to the reading nook is Barbie paradise. Even I love playing with this dream house. On the other side of the room is our cozy futon space which doubles as a fun place to nap on occasion. <br />

Sounds good to me. The girls were happy to chill for a bit on our patio and take in the sights. If you know me you know that I have an issue with sitting still. Enough of this lazing around. Time to go DO something! So off to the hospitality house we went. <br>

The morning started off a tad chilly so after a long time playing on the playground and working up a sweat the girls requested to cool off in the pool. Ummmm it was like 64 degrees. Thanks but no thanks. Time for a different distractions: crafts and movies. Great idea Old Key West!<br>

Finally the temperature was approaching 68 degrees so hey, warmer than up North right? No better time to switch to suits and take a dive in. I opted for the hot tub with my little ladies by my side. Both are huge fans of hot tubs. Here they are sitting so sweet and innocently. But don't let that fool you. One of these kids decided it was a good idea to LICK the hand rail going into the hot tub. My look of horror resulted in fits of giggles. Blleeeeeechhhhh. I'll let you guess who that could be. I'll give you a hint. It was the same kid who randomly started to bust a move on a beach chair. </div>

Around 4pm we packed up our belongings, headed back to the room, got ready, and caught a boat over to Disney Springs. Being able to take a boat to a place filled with live entertainment, drinks, restaurants, and kiddie rides was the coolest. The girls picked out souvenirs, Kris and I had the tastiest margaritas, and we took in the sights. Not for too long though because we had to get back and get in bed. Back to the Disney grind the next day!</div>

Oh Animal Kingdom, how I love thee. During our first Disney trip in 2014 we debated whether or not to even visit AK. I mean, it's just a zoo I thought, right? I could see that anywhere. Anywhere. After a lot of consideration we decided to check it out. We had the Park Hopper so it didn't hurt. If it was a total bust we could leave whenever and head back to old faithful (Magic Kingdom of course).</div>

Hands down my fave part of AK is the safari. You take this rugged truck thing (I am sure there is a very simple term to describe this vehicle but after dealing with six days of a sick Parker, the third ear infection in a row for Emerson plus a dose of pink eye, and four doctor visits in a week, my brain is mushy) all through Africa and the sights you see are out of this world. You really do feel like you're in a different country. </div>

Even though the safari is out of this world incredible when you do Disney like we do Disney, sometimes you need a little relaxation whenever you can get it. Which isn't often. Quickly the girls went from this:<br />

We planned the safari trip so we could get to Pocahontas in just enough time. Perfect planning right here. Up next was a dose of Mickey (again). Typically they wear safari gear but not when we're in the middle of the holiday season! What a fun surprise.<br />

After our character visits we grabbed a little lunch, took the train over to the petting zoo area, explored DinoLand, experienced the most terrifying 4D movie otherwise known as It's a Bugs Life where it feels like bugs are crawling on your and the largest freaking fake spiders in the world fly down from the ceiling. Talk about getting a move on. We RAN out at that point. And we were not the only ones. Tons of families with young kids were doing the same. OMG never again. <br />

AK typically closes on the early side, around 5 or 6pm, so no better time then to take advantage of our Park Hopper and move on over to Hollywood Studios.<br />

While at HS we caught The Litter Mermaid show, ate some great pizza, and got amazing seats for<br />
Fantasmic, complete with spinning Minnie light up toys. This show is one of the best. Water, fire, wind, fireworks...it's all captivating and exciting. Cannot be missed. <br />

After the show it was time to roll out (literally, we rolled the stroller out) with three fast asleep little ones. Back to the hotel to prep for the next day--lazy hotel day. <br />

<br />
Since buying our second home 17 months ago we've made some major transformations. I have the eye and the AMEX and Kris has the skills. Constantly we (me) are looking for ways to transform this home into the perfect space for our family. But rarely do I post updates. Until now!<br />
<br />
Two months ago Kris and I were in the kitchen. Many times we've discussed making better use of the space but we never took the plunge. Something about full time jobs + three young ones makes major projects slightly challenging. But since we were hosting Thanksgiving we figured might as well switch this up in time for all our guests.<br />
<br />
We started with this:<br />

Pros: large space, updated cabinets, counters and back splash<br />

Cons: paint color that makes my skin crawl. Non-stainless steel appliances. Bad layout for entertaining. <br />

<br />
So with lots of elbow grease from Kris, we transformed our kitchen into a place we love to be in. <br />
<br />
Pros: all of it!<br />
Cons: none!<br />
<br />
In line with our rustic modern approach to our home we chose a butcher block island, L shaped to make the best use of the space. Can easily seat tons of people and is a great place to gather. All the appliances were replaced with stainless to give it that modern touch. <br />
<br />

<br />
The old ug blinds were replaced and a nook complete with wainscoating, TV and a magnetic chalkboard area were added.<br />

I absolutely adore our breakfast nook. Bright and inviting. The built in bench doubles as storage which you can never have enough of. And you'll never guess where the table and bench came from. It's a Kris original! Yes, he built it from scratch. You can't tell in the pictures, but the table has the barn door look, once again adding in that rustic element. <br />
<br />

So there you have it! I love how this room came together. All that's left is replacing the wood (most likely with a rectangular tile), adding new cabinet hardware, and swapping out the light fixtures. I am obsessed with these beauts:<br />

Vacation day number three was spent at the best of the best of Disney once again--Magic Kingdom of course! Alarm was set, we got a family of five ready in a jiffy, and before we knew it the gates were staring us in the face once again. Except this time they were already open--an entire 15 minutes before the scheduled park opening time. Gah! Time to rush to a busy attraction first to avoid long lines.</div>

The entire trip the girls were completely starstruck by all the princesses and characters. Starstruck to the point of barely being able to speak. I get it. Seeing all these fairy tale characters in the flesh has to be simply amazing for them. But at least we got some great smiles!</div>

The rest of the day was very calculated. See as many characters as possible. Daisy, Donald, Minnie & Goofy had like a two minute wait so that made it super easy to take care of those guys. The girls were able to take their sweet time getting hugs in and autograph books signed. <br />

After all that character excitement it only made sense to pay $472 for two lollipops at 10am. Teagan, the slowest eater on the planet, seriously took a solid three hours to finish this thing. <br />

Other character sightings included Belle at her Enchanted Tales. Great use of a FastPass as the wait times were anywhere between 20 and 40 minutes. Both Parker and Teagan had roles in this play you perform along with Belle and it's super cute to sit in the audience and watch.<br />

After our princess fix it was off to Tomorrowland. I pretty much shun away from all things science but T-land was pretty darn cool. <br />

<br />
Mainly because of these turkey legs. OMG were they delish. I don't believe it's actually turkey. It tasted like well done ham. Heaven on Earth right there people. <br />
<br />

<br />
Day in day out we ran these kids. To the park before it opened and left when it closed. We had to wake the girls for the 9pm electrical parade. Parker was NOT happy about it until Tinkappeared. Day saved. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
The parade ended around 930pm and while the girls powered through, we literally could not wake them for the castle show and fireworks. So I did what any other Disney obsessed mom would do. Stayed for my own enjoyment and video'd it for the kiddos. It was epic.<br />

What was also epic was getting three sleeping children 5 and under, a double stroller, and all our junk onto a bus. And off again at the resort. Lets just say there was a lot of screaming. But at least bedtime is a breeze when the girls are already exhausted. Lay them in the bed and that's it!<br />

15 months, two Disney trips down. And now that we're back home I'm sort of antsy to plan our next Disney getaway. I think it's pretty safe to say that I have caught the Disney bug!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Our trip started out with a gift of princess Aurora jammies from our elves, Sparkles & Snowflake, & a super early flight. 720am departure which meant parents up at 4am, kids up at 5am, and arriving at DTW around 6am. Even though we were up way before the sun, the sheer excitement was enough to keep all parties insanely happy. </div>

I booked this trip while under the influence of Disney memories fresh in my brain from our 2014 trip and didn't quite think through the potential issues of flying 2.5 hours with three children five and under. Thankfully the trip was an absolute breeze. Multiple passengers complimented us after the flight on the great behavior of all three girls. Way to go girls!</div>

Hands down, one of my fave perks of staying onsite. Disney's Magical Express. Not only do they pick up your bags from the airport and deliver them directly to your room (and take them back to the airport and check them on the way back) but they provide comfy transportation to your resort. </div>

First stop--Disney's All Star Sports Resort. Not by choice though. I booked Old Key West months ago but when I went to book the flight the prices had jumped drastically from when I first looked. However, if we flew out a day prior the flights were more reasonable. No prob I thought. We'll fly out a day early, save a little dough, and get an extra night at Old Key West. Win win. But unfortunately the only room left was at a hefty price tag of $620/night. Ummmm. thanks but no thanks. So we went with the only available option which was the Sports Resort. Not impressed in the least bit and I was more than excited to bid farewell to that joint after our one and only night. But hey, there was a pool so the girls were in heaven. </div>

Our first day was completely unscheduled so after a dip in the pool we boarded the bus to check out Disney Springs. Imagine the girls surprise when they saw this Aurora statue while in their Aurora dresses!</div>

After a couple hours checking out the sights it was time to get in an early rest before hitting up Magic Kingdom. But not before Emerson decided to show off by clapping for the FIRST TIME EVER. Obviously she feels the same about Disney as I do :)</div>

Even though MK wasn't opening it's gates up until 9am we were in line bright and early with a game plan. Check out the morning character show, rush to Mickey, then hit up the super busy rides that we didn't fast pass. Eve though we were going during one of the slowest times I year we knew from last year what rides always have a long wait. Namely Peter Pan!</div>

Emerson was our wild card on this trip. Would she nap on the go? Would she be fussy? Would it be too hot for her? Would she scream bloody murder on the plane resulting in death stares from fellow passengers? As it turned out, she was the easiest child on the trip. Happy as a clam to see all the sites, ride all the rides, and be toted around for hours on end in the Ergo. </div>

We basically did all of MK in day it was that slow. Such a great feeling to have little to no waits on the majority of the rides. I don't have plans to ever visit during a busy time of year after getting spoiled again this trip. </div>

Seeing the castle all done up in lights blew my mind. Blew.my.mind. I literally gasped out loud at the lighting event. I am obsessed with Christmas. I am also obsessed with Disney. Combine these two things and boom, I am in my happy place.<br />

After a day long of rides, rides & more rides, closing time came and we were bused off to the next resort--Old Key West. Check in was nothing but fun. Balloon swords were awaiting the girls and the longest golf cart ever toted us and our 94 bags to our room. Our grocery delivery was available with things like baby food, bottled water, and best of all--Yuengling beer. I am not much of a beer girl but this stuff, which is not sold in our state, is super tasty. Thanks Florida!</div>

The room was perfect for us. Clean, comfortable, close to the bus stop, and on the first floor. I don't care in the least bit about golf but our patio was right on the green surrounded by palm trees so that was pretty neat. As much as we enjoyed our time at OKW we won't stay there again. The resort is massive and while thankfully we had a room close to the Hospitality House and main pool, that wouldn't necessarily be the case next time. The pool area at Animal Kingdom was much better compared to OKW and with so many Disney resort options it only makes sense to try something new next time.<br />

The bright bold colors of leaves in our backyard is one of my favorite things to see. And while the leaves have slowly fallen I can't say I'm mad about it. I am ready for the cold, the snow, and all things winter!<br />

As much as I love our pool and as much as I love brisk fall days I always look forward to the next season. Winter brings us much needed time to shut ourselves in the house and enjoy all things indoors. It's not quite winter yet but a mixture of never ending colds and chilly temps kept us on the inside this particular day. And what else is there to do on a day like that but feed "baby" Teagan a massive bottle. <br />

Other inside activities include Emerson refusing to listen to my pleas to stay little. Instead, she decides to act all big kid and sit up. And eat food. <br />

Once again we're starting down the road of baby led weaning. Up first were avocados, then bananas, sweet potatoes, pasta, greek yogurt, cheese and peas. This sweet thing is all about eating. Her little chubby legs move so fast when goodies get piled on her tray. Dinnertime is so fun now that we're all sitting around the table eating. <br />

Another fun family activity is hooking up Kris' new ride with a car full of kiddos. I think it's safe to say that not many owners of CTS's have three car seats strapped in the back lol. But hey, it fits the bill. Nice new car for Kris and since I have the big SUV and do most of the kiddo driving we have our bases covered.<br />

Week after week I sit in the dance studio hallway waiting while the girls practice their moves. This particular Saturday was parent observation so I was finally able to see Teagan dance for the first time! Cuteness overload. I was proud of Teagan's excellent behavior. Great listening, no goofing off...a model ballerina. <br />

Halloween! Dressed up and ready to indulge in a night of sweets. Emerson and I stayed back home while Kris and the girls went door to door with the neighbors. The weather was chilly and seeing as how I was on week four of walking pneumonia it was best for me to avoid the damp outdoors.<br />

A little over a month has passed since we said goodbye to Sydney. Poor Parker is still struggling with our loss and still cries almost daily. While we've tried easing her pain by talking about Syd, not talking about her, drawing pictures and sending them on balloons to heaven, she still is so so sad. </div>

In other news we're in the middle of a kitchen remodel. Actually, it's basically done except for a little trim work and a little paint. Our new butcher block island can be seen below. More pics to come of the final project!<br />

Seeing Disney all bright and shiny with Christmas lights will be so
incredible. We also have birthday

Zoo lights, Turkey day, and many more fun things planned for the new future. Seeing as how busy we always are and even

Week after week of tagging along to the dance studio for Parker's lessons. Week after week of asking when she would be able to dance. "When you're three," I repeated 45245 times. And finally, on this day, I didn't have to repeat myself.<br />

Teagan was all talk at first. When the moment came for her to walk into the studio by her lonesome the leg holding and tearing up started. A quick kiss goodbye, an even quicker hug by the dance teacher and her cries quickly faded away. Whew! I am happy to report that now two months in and she's excited each week for her special class.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In other Teagan news, she turned three! I told her to stay two forever and in typical Teagan fashion, she didn't listen :-P Teagan at age three is nothing but pure and utter goofiness. This child will stop at nothing to make us laugh. She is defiant as a means to be comical. But she's also cuddly, so sweet to baby E, and plays SO well with Parker. She likes to rough house and wrestle (for real!), will watch Miles from Tomorrowland, Jake, and Sofia for hours on end if we let her. and is a major fan of Jasmine, mik moss, cats and coconut milk. Girl has curls for days, loves to paint, and loves even more to wash her hands in the sink and let the water keep running. Happy 3rd sweet T!</div>

It hurts to even type this, but we had to say goodbye to our sweet Sydney earlier this month. Our house feels so empty without her. Coming home and not having 40lbs of fur waiting for us is nothing short of heart wrenching. Poor Parker has really been struggling. Daily she sobs, daily we hug and cry together, and daily we miss all things Syd. This sucks. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I can't even begin to post the pictures we have of Sydney's last day with us. The emotions are too raw and that evening so sad and hard to acknowledge. One day maybe, but not today.</div>

Our easy, sweet, smiley lil one is still a bundle of cuteness. Emerson is really into rolling from back to belly, putting all toys in her mouth, having conversations with her sisters, cuddles, and not sleeping through the night. While she'll sleep 12 hours a night, she wakes at least three times to eat. Come on girl! Naps are random. Some days she will nap for hours, other days it's filled with cat naps. Thankfully she's still very go with the flow. Essential for a third baby!</div>

Since P and T have birthdays so close and share so many of the same friends, a joint party was in order this year. I let the kiddos pick the location and the decided on Bounce U, a huge indoor bounce house party zone. Easy peasy so it definitely got my seal of approval. After hours of jumping we retreated home to open presents with family and neighbor friends. All around a great success. <br />

The birthdays kept coming and Parker turned five. FIVE. 5. I am in denial but she is pretty psyched. Parker at five is a girl with a huge, caring heart. Always willing to help, always ready to play by the rules that are set and listen. I honestly could not imagine not having her helping hands day in and day out. My sweet, delicate flower. </div>

Built in toys, aka feet, provide hours of entertainment that's for sure. Emerson props her toys up with her feet. She grabs her feet with her hands. She sometimes sleeps holding one foot. Precious, sweet, and darling all combined into one.<br />

Emerson is clocking in at 14lbs 6oz (50th percentile) and 25 inches (75th percentile). Tall and slender. Not quite sure where she gets that from ;) Her temperament is still go with the flow. Rarely does this wee one cry and never will she cry for no reason. If there's a wail it's time for bed. Rock, paci, rock n play, and that's all it takes.<br />
<br />
At four months old we're still napping and sleeping in the rock n play in her nursery. I know it's time to break this routine and move to the crib, but since starting back to work Emerson is up almost every night at 1am and 5am. I really don't want to rock the boat by switching to the crib when I'm already exhausted so we'll keep going with the RNP. Pretty soon though we'll be forced out of that thing because she's not getting any smaller!<br />
<br />
Emerson had a tough time stomaching her formula so we switch backed to 100% breastmilk. I wasn't planning on nursing that long this time around but it's going fine for all parties involved so we'll keep it up. <br />

Some of E's current fave things are her sisters, smiling and talking to us, playing with toys, bathtime (she will kick and splash and smile the entire time), laying stretched out on her activity mat, pulling hair, her paci, and being cute. <br />
<br />
Happy 4 months my sweet pumpkin!<br />

We are officially into the second half of September and can you believe that we're still experiencing summer like days?! The high today is 84. 84!! September, I am in love. The moment we walk in the door we hop into our suits and then hop right into the pool. As much as I love and crave those crisp fall days I am also a huge fan of extending our swimming season.<br />
<br />
Emerson is a fan as well, Post swim bath and full of smiles. I.love.this.girl!<br />

My fabulous contractor (aka, Kris ;) is back in action. We have been mantle-less for months now. The original mantle was hideous. Every day I would see that thing and every day I loathed it. So I had Kris rip it off and replace it with a custom made rustic piece. Now to decide what to do with the rest of the fireplace. I like the brick but am not sure if it goes with the mantle. The black part of the fireplace definitely needs painted. It's a work in progress but we're getting there!</div>

Us girls have all the time in the world to take car selfies when stuck in traffic. OMG these Rochester roads are killing me. Rochester traffic is bad enough but when you close multiple major roads for construction AT THE SAME TIME it's a freaking nightmare. Oh well, at least it will all be done in time for the snow to come...</div>

Sydney loving :) Our pup is still hanging in there. Last week was pretty rough--she wasn't eating a lot and had trouble moving around--but this week her appetite is back (probably because she's on an appetite inducing pill) and she's begging for food again. One day at a time. <br />

Labor Day weekend was spent at home with a visit from my parents. They couldn't have picked a better weekend to come up. The weather was absolutely fabulous! We spent a lot of time poolside enjoying the sunshine. But before the heat hit we went out and about. It is September and you know what that means...Yates cider mill time!<br />
<br />
Isn't it just wild how they go from itty bitty to maxi dress wearing in no time?!<br />

Another fun filled morning activity was Rollers & Strollers. I love this event, especially since I majorly fail in the roller skating department and can go on the rink in shoes. Emerson was able to participate too all while chilling in her comfy stroller. <br />

I have lived through baby milestones two full times now. You would think that it would be old news by his point but each time it still catches me by surprise. Like this day when Emerson made the realization that, hey! This moving, nommable thing is part of ME!<br />

Mother hen I'm telling ya. I honestly would not have survived maternity leave without this great helper. Whether it was comforting Emerson when she cried or helping Teagan get dressed for the day, Parker was my right hand woman. <br />

And sometimes sisters are played with just fine on the floor. The perfect distance away for Teagan to play the tune of "Animal Sounds" over. And over. And over again. That song will forever be burned in my memory. <br />

The big girls are still obsessed with this statue at the library. His name is Andy and his parents are significant library donors. The real life Andy drowned while studying abroad in India in his late teens. I'm sure Andy's parents have witnessed the love many, many children visiting the library have for his statue. While I cannot begin to imagine the pain a parent must feel to lose a child, I can only hope that seeing the excitement and cheer the memory of their son has on children brings a bit of joy to their hearts. <br />

Update on Syd :she's hanging in there but the end is imminent. Typically our family meals look something like this below. The girls hanging out at the kid table while Sydney stands guard at close proximity, waiting for any morsel of food to accidentally fall to the ground. <br />
<br />
But lately she's barely eating, even with an appetite inducing pill. Wet dog food she won't touch so we switched to a mix of chicken, quinoa/rice and veggies. Then she would only touch the chicken. Then she wanted nothing to do with the chicken. So now we give her whatever. Hot dogs. Sliced cheese. Meatballs. Pasta. Whatever she wants she gets. This sucks. <br />

That's all I have for now. I'm taking tomorrow off to do some things that I just can't get done during the week--huge Costco trip (my fave!), a trip with my ladies to the mall per Parker's request (love it!), and a swing by the pool store. My parents are visiting for the whole weekend so we will surely have a great time :) I appreciate my weekends so much more now that I'm back to work so I am READY for four straight days off!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Two weeks back in the swing of work-school-late nights and it's feeling like we didn't miss a beat. Parker is loving being back with her buds on the regular and while Teagan is having a bit of a hard time adjusting at drop off, Parker is right there to take her under her wing and make sure she's comforted. My sweet, nurturing, mother hen Parker to the rescue. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Emerson is killing it at daycare. Now that she's able to roll to her side in the crib she can fall asleep all on her own though the swing is her preferred place to take a long snooze. Girl sucks down her bottles and while I'm still pumping/nursing we're also supplementing with formula and trying to figure out a brand that doesn't make her super gassy. Out of all the babies the teachers have seen, they all agree that Emerson is one of the easiest little one they've ever had. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Back to the kiddos. I cannot even count how many times I get comments about the girls when we're out and about. Like sheer disbelief that we have three of the same sex. These comments never happened with two girls but three makes peoples head spin for some reason. I keep their heads spinning when I tell them I wanted all girls! I mean, check them out. Of course I wanted to keep up with the theme of cutie tootie little ladies!</span><br />
