Friday
Friday was full of fun, work, cleaning, playing, and Bunco.
(Yes, we wear our holiday pajamas until they no longer fit!)
Luke tackled a pretty challenging puzzle that he has never done before. We don't even have the box for him to look at the picture. He was doing really well, but then he moved on to other things and never came back to finish it.
Paige wants to crawl so badly, but she just hasn't been able to put it all together yet. So she tries for a little bit, but eventually collapses to her belly and just scoots or rolls to wherever she wants to go.
We played in the basement.
We played upstairs.
We finally changed out of our pajamas. I am impressed with Luke everyday. He dresses himself from head to toe and is so patient about doing the buttons or zipper or turning his socks inside-out, whatever it may be.
And what happens when you have a little too much fun at your first Bunco night??? You end up hosting the next month. So here was the spread for the little get together. It was a fun night!

Key Lime Cove 2012
Our second annual trip to Key Lime Cove was a success! Both kids were SO GOOD!
As we pulled out of our driveway Sunday morning, Luke yelled from his seat, "Waterpark here we come!". I seriously love that kid so much - he always makes me laugh!
It was interesting to see how Luke was this year versus last year. Last year he was a little more cautious at first and had to hold our hand, but this year, he walked right into the water and acted like he owned the place yet he wouldn't go down some slides he went down last year. He really loved the wave pool and lazy river and went down the pink slide no less than 100 times!
Paige wasn't too excited about the water at first and I was afraid it was going to be a long two days, but she eventually got excited and did her fair share of splashing. Her favorite part was probably the shallow part of the wave pool.
We had a great time and can't wait to do it again next year!
(If only Luke was looking and smiling...love this pic!)
He always had his arms up and was usually yelling!
The evil purple slide - Luke went down once by himself and it didn't go well. I went down two more times with him, but he still wasn't a fan!
An attempt at an after dinner pic!
We played games!
We went on rides!
We drove with Spiderman!
Luke ate the entire bowl of ice cream and half of Wally's fudge!
A morning nap for baby girl!
That's one happy boy :)
And a video - the last part was another attempt at a picture of the two of them. Unfortunately, the camera was on video and Paige wasn't having it anyway!

Words Only
(Some of these are super old, but I have been saving them up!)
Setting: Driving home from Punky's.
Me: How was your day?
Setting: Driving home from Punky's.
Me: How was your day?
Luke: I was running. (in a guilty voice)
Me: Did you get in trouble?
Luke: I just missed my Mama. (in the sweetest voice)
(Well played Luke. And for the record, he never calls me Mama anymore.)
Setting: Paige is in the bathtub and Luke is on the toilet next to the bathtub.
Luke: Paige I am going poooooop!
Paige: laughs hysterically
And repeat 3 times!
Setting: A completely random "conversation" between Luke and Paige.
"Don't worry Paige. There are no monsters. Daddy got rid of all of them."
Setting: In the car on the way to Punky's.
Luke: Paige, you want to hear a story?
Paige: (squeal)
Luke: Once upon a time, there was a pink bear named Baby Bear. There was a Lukey Bear too. The
Lukey Bear climbed a tree and got taken by the wind. And then he went home. The end.
Setting: Eating fruit loops for breakfast and he has a purple one on his spoon.
Luke: Mommy, what do you think of the color purple?
Me: Oh, I like purple.
Luke: Too bad. I eating it.
Setting: Driving home from Punky's (this was just yesterday). Luke was a little upset because he got in trouble just before I picked him up. He is huffing and puffing and sniffling in his seat.
Me: Do you feel ok Luke?
Luke: No
Me: What hurts?
Luke: (long pause) My feelings.
Me: (In my head, I'm all "awe, poor kid!") Who hurt your feelings?
Luke: My belly.
Setting: At home. I am in the kitchen, Luke is in the living room playing. All of the sudden I hear him sing, "I'm sexy and I know it!"
Me: (trying not to, but laughing hysterically) Where did you hear that song?
Luke: On the radio, in the van.
Me: Oh (oops!)
I seriously wish my life was recorded so I could play back all of the awesome, hysterical, random things Luke says!

Sick
Poor Paige has not been feeling well at all!
Our Friday started like this:
and soon turned in to this - a baby with her first fever who would only sleep in my arms.
Saturday was scary - Paige's fever was as high as 103 and wouldn't go lower than 101. She was not herself at all and just completely miserable. Once again, she just wanted her Momma, and I was more than happy to cuddle with her all day. Wally and I were constantly questioning whether or not to call the doctor. Of course, it was Saturday so he would have to be paiged and his message says to call if it is "extremely urgent". Well, what is extremely urgent?!?! I hate that feeling of not knowing what to do. My gut wasn't telling me that Paige needed to see a doctor immediately, but we decided if her fever was still high on Sunday, we wouldn't hesitate to call.
Luckily, Paige had a good night on Saturday and was fever-free on Sunday. She still had a terrible cough and congestion so we just couldn't see sending her to daycare yet so I stayed home with her today and gave the doctor a call. She was running a low-grade fever again so we went in to have her checked out. They checked her oxygen levels (which were good) and listened to her breathing. Doctor said she had a slight wheeze, but at this point to just stick with the Tylenol as we felt necessary and run the humidifier. He was a little surprised that she was still running a fever, but said that we should see her keep improving and if not to bring her right back in.
She was a little playful today, but there was still a lot of this going on.
We have decided to keep her home again tomorrow, especially since there is a stomach virus going around at daycare that we certainly don't need her to catch. Grammy will be coming to spend the day with Paige. I am so thankful for grandparents that don't mind driving an hour and a half at 6 AM to help us out.
Hopefully we have seen the worst of this nasty virus!
On a happier weekend note, Luke started gymnastics on Saturday morning. Since Paige was sick, I stayed with her and Wally took Luke. This is the first class that he has had that the parents don't participate. I was hoping Luke would do fine with that and he did! They split the class into two groups and Luke was put with 4 girls! After the class, the teacher told Wally that Luke was a great listener. While the girls were running around, Luke stood there and listened and knew just what to do when it was his turn. I can't tell you how proud I was of him! He really is a great kid :) I can't wait to see him next Saturday!

February 2nd
That is a big day in our house! Yesterday we celebrated Daddy's birthday, Groundhog's Day, and Paige turning 7 months!
What a difference in weather from last year! Yesterday it was nearly 50 degrees and this was last year!
The birthday boy and his babies!
Luke's card for Daddy!
Wearing part of Daddy's present!
Time for some cake and singing - Luke's favorite part! (And it's half of an ice cream cake because my Mom brought it for Wally's birthday when they came to visit on Sunday so I figured we might as well finish it off rather than making or buying something else!)
(Check out Paige eyeing up the cake! Not yet little girl!)
Daddy playing with Paige's purse. He even went on a hunt to find the lipstick that was missing from the purse!
Oh and we bought Luke a Groundhog's Day book and have been reading it for the last 2 weeks or so. Did you know that in Raleigh, North Carolina there is a groundhog named Sir Walter Wally? How fitting!
And my two adorable kids!
We are off to the Illinois Valley for the weekend - have a good one!
