Fake Laughing
I forgot to tell ya'll that I posted a new video on YouTube! It's called Fake Laughing - Delilah is "laughing" at Keegan every time he loses in a game on the iPhone (which, sadly, he is pretty good at). It's cute! Of course, I am biased.

DAY139
Day 139 of the 365 Day Project
From somebody who doesn't drink coffee very often...it has just been one of those days. Things are looking better though, I feel like after one good night's sleep, myself and the kids will be at least 90% better. Delilah seems to have gotten it the worst - you can see it in her eyes that she is not feeling very well, but she is just as busy as ever. She didn't nap yesterday or today; I have no idea how.

Cookies!
It was really a coin toss between this photo and the one chosen for Day 138. I couldn't decide! So I had share this one as well.
The kids are both probably 70-90% better. Hopefully today was the worst of it for me. Phew!

'Tis The Season
I can't possibly mean the holidays?? Nope. 'Tis the.... flu season!! I am not exactly sure how well that flu shot works for most people, but it apparently has no positive effect on my children. Hello cold weather, and hello influenza. Keegan and Delilah both have it! It breaks my heart to see them so miserable - they are boiling hot, runny noses, extremely tired, and.. well, I won't even begin to get into all of the messy details. For the first time in history, both of the kids were in bed asleep by 7:30 tonight. I feel so bad for them, I wish I could take their pain away. I think I'm beginning to, err, rather, catch the flu from them. As long as they get rid of it quickly and Jonas doesn't catch it (....if we all know Jonas, we know that he probably will get it) then I don't care what I have!
So that's what we're dealing with. I am really starting stress out about the month ahead. February is jam PACKED with big events, including preschool parties, teacher appreciation, bachelorette parties, company parties... Eek!

Gurgling Girly
I have uploaded a new video to YouTube!! About time, right?
It was taken tonight as I was getting Delilah ready for bed. She just learned how to gurgle and just seconds before was talking while gurgling. I thought it was hilarious so I ran and grabbed my phone to take a video. This is what I got - not as good as talking while gurgling, but still a chance to see the silly and dramatic side of this little girl!

Day 127 of the 365 Day Project
Keegan likes to jump in there with her and pretend her mattress is a trampoline. And I'm pretty sure it's time to throw Delilah's gross old jammies away!

Kitchen Island? Or Magnetic Chalkboard?
Both! We started this project on Friday morning. I spent five straight hours stripping the layers upon layers upon layers upon.... (do you get it yet?) .... of paint - my index finger has been numb since from applying so much pressure for so long. I'm beginning to think I'll never get feeling back. Then Jonas sanded it down really well.
Then we used magnetic primer on the backside, and regular primer on the two ends. Afterwards we covered it with chalkboard paint! We painted the outlet covers "brilliant metal."
The kids absolutely LOVE it! Keegan hasn't left the kitchen since we first unveiled it a couple hours ago. We knew we needed to redo our kitchen - the painters that worked on it before we moved in did an absolutely horrible job, and the paint is peeling all over the place. We are replacing the hinges on all the cabinets, stripping them all, and repainting - the correct way. For the past thirty years, they've just been painting over paint, and when the previous painters realized they couldn't remove the hardware because all of the screws were stripped, they thought it'd be a good idea to paint over it all. Screws, hinges...everything. We are having a heck of a time getting all the screws out, but it is going to be sooo worth it in the end! Hopefully before not too long I can show you the finished product. In the meantime...the kids have a gigantic drawing board! :)

Bobo and Sophie, our cats that we love to hate and hate to love. No, really. ;) They're sweeties, Bobo (the black cat) thinks he's a bigger dog than Cooper is, and Sophie is your typical skittish kitty.

First Day Back
Keegan's first day back to school was today! It was the coldest morning we have had in a while, probably all season. Poor Keegan was so tired - we all have to get back into the groove of things!
I thought these grumpy "back-to-school" faces didn't come until later in life??
But if we all know anything about Keegan, it's that even when he's tired, he's never really tired! He hasn't napped in the longest time, and still is a little ball of energy late at night! I wish I had his energy!
He says the funniest things sometimes. Today, Lila was having major issues with her belly, and I called Jonas in to help me and I guess Keegan could see that I was overwhelmed and feeling helpless, so he said to me, "You're a really good mommy!" out of the blue. I said, "Oh thank you sweetie, I just don't know what I would do if you would both be sick or something, I just couldn't take that!" He kind of chuckled then said, "That's the terrible-ist thing I've ever heard of!" It was too funny!The other night, Jonas had told him he needed to clean up the playroom. I didn't know of this, and a few minutes go by and Keegan comes into the family room with a very serious look on his face. He says, "Mommy, I have something very dangerous I need for you to do for me. And it's getting dark outside so I need you to do it carefully and quickly. The dangerous thing I need for you to do is...clean up my cars for me." You should've seen his face. He was dead serious!
Earlier that day, I had been telling Keegan how beautiful he was and he was being just such a sweetheart all day, so I said as we were all sitting together, "How did we get so lucky? We have the best son AND the best daughter!" Keegan chimed in, speaking for himself and for Lila, "And we have the best Mommy and the best Daddy!" So I retaliated with, "AND we are all pretty!" Keegan quickly comes back with, "Well, you and Lila are pretty... me and Daddy are beautiful." He cracks me up constantly!

R.I.P. Chip
We stumbled upon a tragic accident in our backyard the other day.
The poor squirrel. We decided to name him Chip and give him a funeral! Keegan painted a picture for him and everything.
In the end, the picture never made it underground with Chip. Hey, it's the thought that counts, right?
