up & down kind of day

well today was a day full of ups and downs... I made it to the gym which was great and something that I haven't done is quite awhile because not only is it difficult with my 2 kids but I watch a kid monday thru friday every week so 3 kids at the gym can be tricky but I did it and surprisingly they were all really good and played well in the play area. We were there for almost an hour and I felt good.. def plan on trying to make it there atleast 4 days each week so wish me luck! irom mike just might be me and the kids new hang out place lol

now we come to a down...I left the gym feeling good, got the kids loaded up in the car and it wouldn't start...dead battery!! UGH! Called Sean and he was going to come but then the nicest man pulled up and asked if he could help! uhhh yes please :) got it started, had Chloe call Sean to let him know someone was helping me and we were good to go back home.

The kids had such a great time playing in the play area at the gym that they came home, ate lunch and went straight to nap/quiet time :)

Dinner time came and I almost set the house on fire and my new Wok that I got for Christmas is ruined :/
I was going to make my chicken stir fry, had the pan with oil in it warming on the stove while I was cutting the rest of the chicken and boom flames everywhere! OMG! The house was filled with smoke almost instantly then the smoke alarm went off and freaked out the kids and before you know it I was running around opening all the windows and doors and trying to keep Liam from crawling out the patio door into the rain. Now I need to go shopping for a new wok!!! anyone have any suggestions please pass them on to me :)

The rest of the night went pretty well.. after I got Liam out of the bath he snuggled on the couch with me..sippy cup in one hand and his new Mickey Mouse in the other! It was sooo cute and he must've been exhausted because he was passed out by 7:15. I decided this past weekend that we are going to have a Mickey mouse themed bday party for his 1st birthday!! :) We got him the mickey toy on Saturday at the mall because I've noticed the past few weeks that when the kids watch morning cartoons in my bed, they usually are watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and as soon as Liam hears Mickey he gets sooooo excited and starts bouncing up and down, clapping, laughing and actually watches Mickey. Ever since we got the toy he grabs it and takes it with him....soo cute :)

My up and down day could've been worse so I guess I shouldn't complain too much especially since there were pretty good "ups" with the kids but I'm dreading tomorrow.
Tomorrow Liam finally has his appointments for his ear. Back in November Chloe accidently poked Liam in the ear and it put a hole in his eardrum. The Doctor told me that it could heal on its own but if not he'd have to have surgery and have an eardrum reconstructed. I've been praying that it heals on its own and that does not affect his speech or his hearing. It's going to be an early day tomorrow of taking Chloe to CC so that she isnt't stuck at the hospital with us all day and then first appt we have to be there by 8am. I'm terrified of the tests they are doing but I can't wait to finally know what is going on and what's next. Please keep Liam in your prayers :)
