Movie Night!

Miss P went to her first official movie tonight. A 5:00 showing of Disney's new movie, UP. It was a cute movie- more involved than I thought it'd be from the previews, but very cute. We had shown Peyton some of the trailers for the movie and when those scenes came on in the movie, she really perked up. Tim had to take her outside once and talk to her a little bit as she wanted to wander out the aisle and up the stairs. Luckily, there weren't that many people there.

In other news, Finley still has this nail issue. I need to do some more research, but so far we've stumped the pediatrician and the dermatologist. :( I told Mom I think she has the "Second Child Who Has the Weird Medical Issues Syndrome". Anyway, whatever it is has now spread to her toenails- both of her big toes are now starting to get discolored. We're supposed to call the dermatologist back in about a week- not sure why we're waiting and not running more tests, but we'll see. If she gets noticeably worse in the near future, we may get another opinion. One of our neighbors suggested taking her to an allergist, so we may look into that.

Let's see. The last day of school is next Thursday for the kids, Friday for the teachers, so that'll be good. I actually have to work until the 10th, boo. But, it'll be more relaxed, so that's good. I'm looking forward to a summer of no work, time with the kids, and with Tim. I'm also ready to get the house clean! I cleaned the kitchen really well yesterday, but you wouldn't know it by the way it looks today.

All for now. There's a pillow with my name on it!

"Normal" Monday

I am not sure how to define "normal" but I suppose, in some weird way, that this is a "normal" Monday. Sure, I missed work. Sure, I had to take Peyton to the doctor to get the glass in her foot looked at. Sure, Finley is newly intrigued by the doggie door. But, yes, I suppose this is a normal day. Life with two kids is crazy. It's constant change, and I'm learning slowly how to hold on for the ride. Tonight's mission: two kids in bed by 8:30 so I can finish the baby bib I'm knitting, clean some house, do some laundry, and get in bed at a reasonable time myself. Wish me luck! :)
