Yep...still teething

And I can see one of the top teeth just below the skin. It should pop through any time now. I'm wondering how the next few days/nights are going to go. Hopefully not too bad. Both kids are doing pretty good. Rayne is coughing more again. Not sure why..I guess still from a cold she fought off last week. She was coughing a lot again last night. A really wet cough too. Ugh. I'm so tired of hearing her cough..I wish she could just get a break from it already. It's been 6 months since whooping cough now. I don't have too much to report these days. We are leaving to Florence, Oregon (well..me and the kids are) next Sunday and will be gone a week. I have more photo shoots lined up which I am really excited about. Well, that's it for now. Ta ta.

Quinn is teething again

Good luck getting a blog from me right now. (please save me)

So it's all about the pull tabs.

First, about the title. So I had to get groceries today..my favorite chore in the wide world (not). I went to 3 different stores and the last one was WalMart..my least favorite of the 3. We are in the checkout and I had Esme with us...the girls were really good all day and they were bugging me for a new play cell phone because they had tinkerbell. They just saw the new tinkerbell movie so they are all about tinkerbell right now. ANYWAY, so I cave and say okay and they hand the lady their phone. Well the nice lady in the line told them they should make sure the phones have the battery tab in them so they know they are fresh batteries and will last longer. Thanks nice lady! So then they had to search all over the checkout lines on either side of us in search of 2 tinkerbell phones with the tab. At first they found one. That will not do. There HAD to be 2 of them. Thanks again lady, really. So they FINALLY found another one with a tab. WHEW. I wanted to give one of those big fake thank you smiles to the lady. But I didn't. I know it was true, they would be guaranteed to be fresh, but COME ON. They are toys and I needed to get home, it was getting late and there were TWO of them! That could have been very ugly. Thankfully it was not. Not TOO much so. On another note..I think Quinn is trying to get his top teeth now. He's been more cranky and drooly. He was up a lot in the wee hours of the morning just thrashing and fussing and not needing anything in particular but a pat and shush. I was really tired this morning so I came out..plopped him on the floor (gently of course) put his basket of toys next to him, told Dave why and said a goodnight to all of them for an hour. So besides that and groceries and making dinner...that was all that was accomplished today. I can't get used to these shorter days and especially on Friday which is a prep day for me for the Sabbath. It comes way too soon...I don't have enough time to get ready. OH well. Life goes on. I guess that's all for now..Quinn is fussing again. Later!

Ahhhhhhhh

Rayne is spending the night at Grandma and Grandpa's. Quinn is asleep. Need I say more? It's quiet in here. Dave is on his way home and apparently we are going to watch a movie online tonight. I haven't seen a movie in months, at least. I'm surprised I still know how to spell it. Quinn now has 2 teeth and when he gets mad, he spits. Isn't that lovely? Seriously, he starts going thbthbhththbhthbhthbth and the spit just pours out of his mouth and his face gets all red. He will soak the top of his shirt if I can't get to him right away. He's 7 months old. Not 1, not 2, 7 MONTHS. Help me now. His little personality is just blooming. He cracks us up a lot. He started making this little fish face too. No reason, just to do it. No crawling yet. I think I'm okay with that. I had a vision. Quinn crawling. To me. Wanting up. And nothing else. He is so much a mama's boy...if he sees me, he reaches out for me immediately. It's cute and I love it, but sometimes, I just want a break from holding him so much. My tendinitis is acting up. Ever had someone stab a needle filled with burning hot liquid into your arm? Me neither, but that's what it feels like when I get the pain in my arm. As of right now I am getting an A in my first real Master's class. Hopefully it remains after our final paper is graded. Oy, I'm tired so signing off. Kids are great, we are hangin in, goodnight.
