This one is gonna

be the death of me!  She is the most stubborn little booger ever.  We are just coming off a 6 day nursing strike and she's only decided she'll nurse in the morning, no other time.  I tried everything and nothing worked, she is a girl who know what she wants or doesn't want in this case.  It all started because she bit me and I told her "no no", she got so mad and refused to nurse no matter what.. The good thing is that I'm more stubborn than she is.

Nutella Cookies

I'm slightly addicted to Pinterest, if you haven't checked it out yet you must!  I got this recipe there last week and decided to give it a try, Kev and the kids are my testers for new recipes.  It was super easy but a little on the bland side, I'd add some salt the next time around.  We had some last minute company on friday night so I decided to make the cookies into ice cream sandwiches (it's still well over 100 here most days), they were a big hit and so easy.  Here is the recipe, yes it only has 4 ingredients.

How can you really go wrong with Nutella anyway?  We spread it on warm tortillas, toast, and even ritz crackers, mmmmm.

Welcome

Somebody decided it would be a good idea to welcome our guests, this is the window to the right side of the front door.  I think it was Finley since she's always messing with this window and she was suppose to be napping at the time, who knows how long they've been there...

You're kidding right?

We were back at the doctor again this morning, O had a horrible night last night with fever and barking cough.  He barely slept and at one point while getting him a cold cloth he said "mom this is the worst night of my whole life", poor guy.  So we headed out this morning to see what was going on, maybe his strep had not fully cleared up since we just finished up his antibiotic a few days ago.  Nope, step test was clear and he now has the croup, you're kidding me right??  Back to the pharmacy we go for oral steroids, 4 kids in tow (thank God for the drive through window).  He is suppose to be in a steamy room for 10mins of every hour to help with the dry hacking cough part, this is the smallest room I could steam up really quickly.  He has to go into the toilet part of our master bathroom and passes the time play Angry Birds of course, no complaints - he's such a trooper.  So we're taking it easy today and hoping we can keep it away from the other three....

Come get me please...

I don't really remember the other kids being quite as funny as Norah, she has such a little personality.  She hardly ever cries but is by no means quiet.  When I get her up from her naps this is what I am greeted with.

she is often stuck in this position

Idle hands

When you don't let your kids watch t.v. they find more creative things to do.

eight months

I'm eight months old today!  I'm sitting up all by myself (except when I get distracted and tip over) and have my two bottom teeth (hence the drool all over my belly).  I say da-da from the minute I get up until I go to bed, he is my favorite person in the world right now.  I love being busy and get bored very easy, the more commotion around me the better I like it.
