Addison's first Piggy Tails

Sitting in her Lazy Chair Watching "Finding Nemo" (something she has to watch everyday!!)

Lillian riding her scooter inside the house. Getting lots of practice riding around inside. I think she will be good outside this summer.

Notice Lillian with her arms folded. She is pouting because she doesn't want her picture taken. Notice her little sister behind her copying exactly what her big sis is doing.

I'm a little behind with blogging!! It seems I have been more busy past few days. All the kids are down for naps right now. It sure is peaceful. Lillian went over to Ella's house for a play date this morning and Ella then came over here to play. They kept themselves entertained really well today. We all went outside for about 20 minutes today before naps. Its only about 30 degrees but they ran around so much that they stayed pretty warm. It makes me really ready for spring and summer.

Eventt and I finally had a good night sleep last night. Both girls slept all night!! Addison is cutting her eye teeth, and Lillian was diagnosed with an ear infection on Sunday. So they both haven't been sleeping good through the nights.

Went to a pre school meeting last night about a new preschool starting at Ossian Elementary. I plan to go visit a couple more in town to decide which one Lillian will go to this fall. Seems crazy its time to do that already. It's kinda sad she will be starting school, but I really think she is ready. She is getting a bit bored at home sometimes. It will be kinda nice to have just me and Addie time!

Eventt and I are still running. We are supposed to do 7 miles sometime this week. We run 3-4 miles about 4 days a week and then have a "long run" (7 miles this week). I really enjoy it, but wish it would get warmer.

Well better get this house cleaned up before everyone gets up from their naps.

Fire Truck

Yesterday Eventt brought the fire truck home for our our little pyro girl (Addie) She loves fire trucks and fire books, and seeing fire of any kind. Guess she gets that from her daddy. It's kinda funny to hear her get so excited about it all. Eventt even took her to the fire station today. She screams with excitement when we tell her she is going to go see fire trucks. Lillian enjoyed it too.

Not much new here Lilly had Tap and Tumble class today. She decided to only participate 1/2 the time when I came in to watch. They practice first then the parents come in to watch at the end. I had to really coach to get her to go do it. She usually does just fine. The instructor said she does just fine when I'm not in the room. It kinda started a trend cause all the kids ran to their parents after Lillian ran to me. OOPS! They are getting ready for a dace recital May 8th and 9th. I will get everybody invites and details when it gets closer. They all tried on their costumes today. They are adorable, which they should be since they were also costly! Well better get this place cleaned back up. Eventt will be home at 7pm so I can go to a meeting about joining a local sorority. Better get moving. More later!

Happy Valentines Day!!

I'm at work today, but just talked to Eventt and he gave the girls their valentines day chocolates and balloons and Lilly said "oh thank you dad! I will never ever pee my pants again" hahah!! I thought that was too cute. She is currently on and off again with potty training. I just ignore it and make no big deal about it. Most of the time she just goes on the potty and then other times she gets too busy playing or watching a movie she just does it in her pants. The girls spent the night and Grandpa and Grandma B's house last night and Eventt and I had a date night. It was nice to get away. We went to a framing shop (called "Picture it in a Frame") ordered a few frames for some pictures I had taken awhile back and had printed out. I'm excited to get them framed and put up on the walls. Eventt and I then went out to eat at Mad Anthony. It was kinda a dungy place but I loved the food. It was our first time ever eating there. Eventt thought it sounded good cause he had heard that the brew their own beer. Anyway, it was fine. We did a bit of shopping and were going to catch a movie, but the theatre was swamped so we bought "The Bucket List" at Target went home got in our PJ's and watched the movie. It was a very good movie! We laughed and cried. It was weird to go to sleep without kids in the house but we somehow managed and it was peaceful. But I sure can't wait to see them tonight. I have already called them 4 times today!! (Work is slow so far today) Well lets see what else is new. Oh I got my hair straightened. Lillian said " will your puffy hair come back mom?"
Probably enough blabbing for now just thought I'd blog a bit since grandma Rice got on me for not blogging in awhile.

To the Childrens Museum

Yesterday Eventt and I took the girls to the Children's Museum in Indianapolis. We also took Ella with us. All the girls had a blast. For those of you who this is emailed to you will have to check by blog at eklanorris.blogspot.com for tons of pics!! They had a blast. Last night Lillian asked me what my favorite part of the museum was. I told her the water duck pond. She said "no mom thats my favorite part so you have to pick something else." I told her the sand land was my fav. Eventt told her that the underground tunnel was his favorite. Its a tunnel you crawl into and see how things live underground. It was a fun time I'm glad we got to take Ella with us.

Lillian rode her "big girl" bike all the way around the block the other day. It was her first time to ride it outside. She did really good, but has had a lot of practice inside around the kitchen. It was nice to get outside. It sure made me get a little spring fever. TOO BAD it got cold and rainy again :(

Eventt and I are still running about 5 days a week training for the 1/2 marathon. I'm enjoing the running and getting away for a bit.

Tonight I am getting my hair straightened. YICKS!! Not sure how its going to turn out but I'm excited for a little change.

Well enough for now. I'll try to write more later.

Playing well together!

The girls are either feeling better or the motrin is still doing its job. They have played non stop together since we got home from Lillian's tap and tumble class. I last gave both of them motrin 5 hours ago cause Lillian said her headache was back and Addison was fussy (so just figured she may have headache like her sister and mother). I am feeling a bit under the weather tonight though. I think my motrin that I took way earlier in the day is wore off. Probably should go take some more. Lillian has played and played with her new barbie house. She can't wait till Addison goes to sleep tonight so she can play with them uninterrupted. Well better go get the girls to bed cause our weekly show Grey's Anatomy comes on in 1/2 hour.

From one virus to the next

Well Lillian has fully recovered from the vomiting flu bug, but for the past couple days has complained of a headache and sore throat. I am ready for winter to be over and for all these darn illnesses to go away. They have never been this sick through the winter. Maybe its just preparing us for her preschool days. Anyway as long as I can get her to take Tylenol or Motrin she is fine. Gets up and plays and is still eating like its going out of style!! The girl has her appetite back!! Eventt was home till 10am this morning so I decided to go get some groceries at Wal-Mart while the girls stayed home with daddy. I ventured to the toy area to look for valentines presents for the girls. I found good gifts for both girls in the clearance aisle. I got amazing deals on a Barbie house for Lillian and Fire trucks for Addison. But like always I couldn't wait so I gave the girls their "valentines presents" today!! Ha! oh well. They loved them and since I work all day on valentines day it works out they don't know the calendar yet anyway. Lillian has played with the house most of the day on and off. She could sit and play with the little things like that forever. She has such and imagination. Addison is really into fire and fire trucks. She makes us read her the "fire book" at least 5 times a day! So she loved the fire trucks and I bet daddy can't wait to get home tonight and play them with her!!
Not much new with Eventt and I. We are still running training for the 1/2 marathon in May. Training is going good. I really enjoy getting out of the house and doing something for myself. The computer system is off to a really good start at the store. It is going to make everything much easier for Eventt.
Well gonna relax a bit before the girls wake up from naps. Sorry no pics will try to get some soon!

Weekend went well!

I worked all weekend 7a-7p both Sat. & Sun. Saturday Aunt Ashley took the girls to my moms house cause Eventt also had to work. Lillian was so excited to go to Grandma B's house since she didn't get to play there the day she got sick. They had a blast. Thank you Aunt Ashley and Grandma & Grandpa B. Sunday the girls traveled to Berne to GG B's birthday party. I guess they had a blast there too. Addison only got a 20 min. nap yesterday and Lillian got none!! So when I got home from work last night Lillian was out cold and slept till 6:30 this morning. Addie also hit the sac early and slept all night. Eventt said they got pretty grumpy towards the evening cause they were so sleepy. Everyone says Lillian ate like a champ all weekend without any belly problems. I think we are better!!!! Yea!!! I did give her a big glass of milk for breakfast and she has been telling me her tummy aches since she finished that. Hopefully that will get better in a few minutes. Anyway gonna get this house cleaned up from the weekend. We will babysit Ella and Claire today and Lilly is super excited about that. Our 12 week training starts today for our mini marathon in May. So Eventt and I will probably both get out there and run sometime today.
