A Little Set-Back

   Saturday night, my family went over to our friends, the Stanford's, for a Pot-Luckin' good time!  I started to feel bad at her house- I had chills and was freezing!  Unfortunately, I had to cut the night a little short because I was starting to feel worse by the minute.  That night and Sunday were HORRIBLE... I had Mastitis.  I had a fever, chills, sweats, headache, and aches and pains like I had the flu.  I could not move- I did not move! 
   It hit at a really bad time, I had SO much to do!  We were supposed to move our refrigerator on Sunday and I was in such a good de-cluttering groove for my house.  I had gotten a LOT done on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.  Our house was supposed to go up for sale on Monday but I wasn't able to get everything ready so we had to change the date.  :(  I ended up going to the doctor on Monday to get some antibiotics since I still had a fever and pain and finally started to feel more like myself by Tuesday.
   On another note, I have one more week at home with my sweet children!  In addition to missing them, I am also going to miss watching soap opera's, shopping at any time of the day, getting lunch from wherever I want, and spending a lot of time outside. May 7th is going to be a very sad day but at least there are only 6 more weeks of school left- I can do it! :) 
  Here are a few recent pictures of them!!!

This is the life...

Hagen turned 4 weeks old two days ago... which means I'll be heading back to work in about 2 weeks.  This makes for a really sad mommy!  I am so grateful for the time off I have had with the kids and in only about six weeks, I'll be off for summer... so I can't complain too much.  And I REALLY do miss my students! 
Hagen is still eating every 2-3 hours and sleeping all the time.  He is a very strong baby, he lifts his head really well during tummy time.
Lyla is almost one month shy of turning 2 years old.  I am in the process of planning her birthday party which will have a Minnie Mouse theme!  I tried to think of the things she likes- which bascially only includes Elmo and Barney... and my sister just had an Elmo party for Zoey and I can promise you I will NEVER host a Barney party... so I figured I'd go with number three on Lyla's list: Minnie Mouse!  So far, I've found a bunch of cute ideas for a Minnie Mouse themed party.  I'm excited! :)
The construction on our house is finally finished and our realtor is coming to talk with me today.  It's been CRAZY trying to get this house ready to be put up for sale.  We seriously have WAY too much stuff for this little house.  (A big thank you to my sister for always cleaning my house... and especially for helping me with this big task!)  The house still isn't ready for anyone to come in and look at it.  I think we just have to go ahead and pack things up to put in storage so that it doesn't look so cluttered.  So, that's my task today and probably this weekend.  After I make my way to the shower, I'm going to head out in search of boxes.  The main thing is Lyla's toys... she has TOO many toys... and we're coming upon another birthday- what am I going to do?  AND throughout my stay at home with her I have realized that she doesn't even play with her toys... her main interests are electrical sockets, computers, baby's swing, baby wipes, and desitin.  Why can't my child just sit down and play with toys?  I hope she outgrows this soon... I mean, don't get me wrong... there is a time (about 5 minutes out of the day) when she rides her bicycle, pulls her wagon, or pushes her doll in a stroller... but this definitely does not outweigh the time she spends playing with things she shouldn't be playing with.  Good thing she's so stinkin' cute! :)  I also really just need to get good at throwing things away.  (Good thing my husband doesn't read this, he would know I'm coming to terms with my weaknesses!)  Maybe I need help?  Am I borderline hoarder?  I don't think it's that bad... but I really need to let go of the things that I constantly say, "I'm going to need this one day".  If I need something again another day, I'll just go out and buy it... chances are I won't be able to find it in the house anyway. 
Here are a few recent pictures... look at these cute faces I have to send to daycare soon :(
