nothing to say...

and you know what that means.  I will probably end up rambling on and on about nothing and this will turn into a much longer post than I ever anticipated.

Or not, I'm kind of tired.

And kids are going to bed.

So, quick updates:

Baby Belle is on her 2nd round of antibiotics because the ear infection never went away.  They are doing nasty things to her tummy, and my baby belle who never poops is making up for it big time!  Much to all of our displeasure.  Perhaps later I'll excite you with a ripe tale of super poop...but not tonight.

Clara Belle is doing great -- we are coming out of that...that...PHASE she was in for quite a while.  At least, I kept/keep hoping it was a phase and that isn't really what she's going to be like for the rest of her life.... Oh she has her days where she visits the "Thinker Chair" more than she would like, but all in all she is turning out to be a neat little girl.  Her teacher says she is just hysterical, and has such a dry sense of humor.  To which I totally agree.  Even as a baby I said I thought she would be the life of a party some day....Not sure that's a good thing though.

Big Belle is finally cutting back on the whole thumb sucking thing.  4 days now she's gone the whole school day without slurping away.  Phew.  As a bribe  I told her she could get a special treat this past weekend.  After some suggestions, because she does not need another fruity lip gloss, she decided she really wanted a belt.  So a belt it was.  A two pack to boot.  She also has 2 ridiculously wiggly teeth, which have been loose since her dentist appointment back in SEPTEMBER. F ALL out already teeth, I'm sick of hearing about you and being asked to wiggle you.  Jeesh!

That's about it!  The weather is up and down, as is our usual February days.  We start each day about 30, and then reach almost 50.  Thursday we are supposed to get snow -- anyone hear that thunder a couple days ago?  You know what they say, thunder during winter snow within 10 days....hate to say it, but nearly 8 years down here and it's been true each time.  67 on Monday though!  I must enjoy this time before June comes and I have not one nice thing to say about NC.

There, told you I had a lot to say about nothing!  Now I must something to mindlessly watch on tv, because reading my book requires way too much energy, and possibly drift off to dream land a bit early tonight.

Good night!
