I'm sick. :( So I'm sitting here on the couch and since I've got the computer nearby, I thought I'd post some stuff on the blog. The girls are happy as clams playing 'house' in their rooms, so I've got a little bit of down time (yay!). Since I've got time, (let's face it, I'm not going to be getting up to do any cleaning or laundry or any such stuff) I figured I'd start with last week and play catch up...maybe over two posts since we had ourselves an awesome weekend this past weekend and that deserves a whole post on its own. <br />

So. Last week. It started out with a rest day on Tuesday since Kyleigh had gotten sick the night before. (We had our fingers crossed that the stomach bug wasn't making a come-back. It didn't.) <br />

Thursday we had to take the car in for an oil change and a trip inspection ( I had a coupon, so why not). The girls and I dropped the car off at the place and walked around the shopping center that is across the street. <br />

We were headed for the cupcake place (it's not all that great, but I wanted to treat the girls to something) when we happened upon a frozen yogurt place! I was excited because that meant I would get something too! haha <br />

Friday was spent finishing our packing, dropping Peanut off, and heading out on our trip.<br />

<br />
It's the middle of the week and I've actually got a chance to write a post. Yea, that usually isn't a good sign these days. :/ Kyleigh's last day of school before tracking out was Monday, and that was a busy day for Abby and me. Then Tuesday Abby was in school. While she was in school, Kyleigh and I had a coffee date with Nate. :) <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2bL4eWLAww4/UW69QxMhNTI/AAAAAAAAWOA/judbNLDp14Q/s1600/P4168442.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2bL4eWLAww4/UW69QxMhNTI/AAAAAAAAWOA/judbNLDp14Q/s1600/P4168442.JPG" height="150" width="200" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--BEwhW3xMs0/UW69RWsRNjI/AAAAAAAAWOE/ulM5ooFwKaM/s1600/P4168443.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--BEwhW3xMs0/UW69RWsRNjI/AAAAAAAAWOE/ulM5ooFwKaM/s1600/P4168443.JPG" height="150" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
Then we picked Abby up and headed to the Farmer's Market, came home, ate a snack, cleaned up the kitchen and then headed back out. This time we walked up to the grocery store to pick a few things up that I needed to to make some more food for my Mom and Dan. <br />

<a name='more'></a><br />
We came home and the girls went off to play (probably before I could take them to do anything else, haha) and after a few minutes' rest, I headed into the kitchen. I got 5 meals' worth of food made - one of which we actually ate for dinner. :) <br />
<br />
In the middle of the night last night Kyleigh threw up all over her bed. :( So I've got her on couch duty this morning to see if it was just a fluke or if she got the stomach bug that Nate and Abby had. I've found that I have more luck in keeping the girls on the couch when they are sick if I'm sitting down in the living room too. When I'm up doing stuff (like laundry, cleaning, etc) they just can't sit still. Which brings me to how I'm able to write a post in the middle of the day in the middle of the week. :) I'm not happy with the reason for needing to rest, but I am happy for the chance to not do anything at the moment. We've had a busy few days and it's nice to sit still for a time because the next few days will be busy too.<br />

So let's back up a little bit. This past Saturday was Kyleigh's first soccer game of the spring season. Yay! <br />

<br />
It was a good game and the kids (and Nate) had a lot of fun. :) And Kyleigh's team won! But I don't know if she would know that if ya asked her. The kids don't really care too much about who won and who didn't, they just have fun being out there. :) And we were lucky enough that everyone that could come out, did. <br />

After the game on Saturday, we went out for frozen yogurt. It was Grandpa Rodney's treat. :) (My Mom and Dan couldn't come because he needed to go home and rest after their rough week.) <br />

After the frozen yogurt both girls were looking pretty tired. So we went home and they laid in mommy and daddy's bed and watched a movie. When the movie was over, they were both rested so we went and did some errands. <br />
<br />
On Monday, Kyleigh's last day of school before tracking out, the two first grade classes (that are on the same track) put on plays that the parents were invited to come and watch. Kyleigh has brought home her book to practice her lines for about a week and she drew the puppets of the characters she was going to read. She was super excited to put on the play with the other two girls in her group. :) Abby and I went to watch the two classes put on some of the plays. <br />

On Tuesday, Abby decided this is how she wanted to go to school. :) She wanted to see if her teachers would recognize her. Love my silly Abby. <3<br />

<br />
And then, yesterday, before I started making all the food, Kyleigh came into the kitchen complaining of her tooth really hurting and bothering her again. See, she's had this baby tooth that has been loose for a few weeks now but didn't want to come out. And the adult tooth that was supposed to push out the baby one had already grown in <em>behind</em> the baby tooth. Earlier in the day I had already called the dentist and scheduled an appointment to get it pulled out. But when Kyleigh came into the kitchen, I was determined to get this sucker out. (You would have been too if you had seen that poor little face in pain.) I plopped her on the counter and tried to numb the gum as much as possible with an ice cube. After a few tries, there was a tooth in the paper towel!!! We were so excited!! Kyleigh was probably more excited though. :) <br />
<br />
Oh yea, and the tooth fairy did visit her. :) <br />

So jump back to today and Kyleigh is on the couch knitting and watching tv with Abby. So far she's doing fine; no episodes and she has been eating. So hopefully we will be able to resume our normal activities tomorrow. We have to get ready for YoungLife Family Camp this weekend! :) I'm getting tired of sitting not doing anything so I think I'll start doing laundry after I finish this post. The girls (Kyleigh especially) have been so great today that they need some play time...or at least be free to be off "couch duty" for a while. Let's hope it doesn't cause her to have any episodes though. </div>
<br />
Well, I've 'bout had it sitting around. I'm off to do laundry and get us ready for the Camp this weekend! Hope everyone has a great day!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Look at this happy face! :) She feels so much better having gotten that tooth out!</div>

It's officially springtime! Around here we are hoping that means warmer weather. Kyleigh's soccer season has started again and she's has practiced again for a few weeks now. Her first game is this Saturday the 13th. <br />

- Then the next day (Monday) the stomach bug hit. And it hit hard. Here's Abby finally getting some sleep on Tuesday. :( Poor kid. Nate also got the bug. It wasn't a fun week at the Harned household.<br />

<br />
My last post was March 19th, so what happened the rest of the month?<br />
<br />
- On the 22nd, Jill came over with Ava to say hello for a bit. Abby brought some toys out of her room to play with Ava. After they had been here for a little bit, I got a call from Kyleigh's school saying she had a fever and needed to be picked up. :(<br />

<br />
<br />
- On Saturday the 23rd, Abby had a friend's birthday party to go to. The party was at a nearby LifeTime Fitness. The kids had a lot of fun playing games and jumping in a bounce house.<br />

- Then the 25th became a 'stay home sick' day because Kyleigh was still running a fever the day before. :( We didn't have much luck with staying healthy the end of the month, what with the weather warming up then getting cold then warming up again and then getting cold again. But we made the best of the sick day making a Lego city and making the dinner table a tent. :)<br />

- Kyleigh had the Friday before Easter off and it was a beautiful day. The girls and I headed out and went to Target to get a present for another party Abby was invited to that weekend. Afterwards, I thought it would be nice to eat lunch out so we stopped at the Chick-Fil-A across the street. The girls were pleasantly surprised. :) After that we were supposed to go do a big grocery shopping trip. But it was just too beautiful a day to be spent running any more errands so I surprised the girls by taking them to their favorite park. Kyleigh even ran into two of her friends that were there! Turns out their moms were thinking the same thing I was. :)<br />

- On the 30th, the Saturday before Easter, Abby had another classmate's birthday party to go to. This one was probably one of the coolest parties yet. The parents turned their backyard into a carnival with games (like a can toss, mini golf, etc.) and even face painting! All four of the little boy's grandparents were there and were having a lot of fun "running" the games and doing the face painting. I forgot the camera though. :(<br />
<br />
- After the birthday party, we headed home to decorate Easter eggs!<br />

- After decorating the eggs that Saturday, we headed up to my dad's to be there for the Blessing of the House by the pastor of the church he and Megan go to. The pastor said a very nice blessing and afterward we ate brownies and homemade cherry pie with vanilla ice cream. Mmmm<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then it was time to hunt for the eggs. Ignore the mess in all the pictures, we did that on </div>

Since it had rained and left the yard all wet, the eggs were hidden in the basement. </div>

- Then it was Valentine's Day. I got a beautiful bouquet of roses. :) And the girls woke up to the dining room decorated for the occasion. I made them a nice dinner of their favorite foods and then surprised them with a crazy-awesome dessert of chocolate fondue with fruits and brownies, chocolate covered strawberries, and sugar cookies hand-dipped in chocolate with sprinkles added. Oh yea, this was a winner. :) (And Nate made it home for dessert! Yay!)<br />

- The first graders at Kyleigh's school put on a Winter Concert. Parents and family members were invited to come watch the kids sing songs they had been working on for awhile. Gramma and Grandma Carole were able to come watch Kyleigh. And it wasn't on a Tuesday or Thursday so Abby got to come too! :) Afterwards, we all went out for frozen yogurt. :)<br />

- Kyleigh entered her school's Science Fair! It was very exciting. The experiment she chose to do took about a week to do. She asked the question "What liquid nourishes plants better?". Her thinking behind it was to see if any liquids nourished plants as well as (or even better than) water. Her entry got a participant ribbon, as well as a 'Special Achievement' ribbon for her excellent use of photographs to document her findings. :)<br />

- Kyleigh got her first loose tooth which was followed by her first adult tooth coming in....behind the baby tooth. So Kyleigh got her first loose tooth extracted at the dentist's office. She wasn't excited about it but she was very brave and did excellently! Kyleigh did so well that the dentist and hygienist couldn't believe this was her first extraction. And no worries, the Tooth Fairy still came! She even left Kyleigh a note responding to Kyleigh's request to keep her tooth. :) This was also the day that Kyleigh and Abby got to have ice cream for dinner. haha Gramma brought it by for them on her way home from work. :)<br />

Usually, at the start of each year, I am sad about having to start the whole year over again. See, I like the months from about September on and all the months prior are just spent getting to this point. It's odd, but this year I'm filled with excitement. Maybe this change of heart comes from being a mom. I know, I know. I've been a mom for 6 and a half years now. But I think this year is different because both girls are old enough to do more now than in past years, and they are truly enjoying it and Abby is now reaching the age where she remembers it. (The mind of kids younger than 3, or 4 even, have a hard time remembering things they've done in the past, like holidays and trips and such.) I feel so much hope and excitement about the first half of this year that I believe this is going to be a wonderful year!</span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> For instance, I took my girls camping with my dad and sister last year and it's still one of their favorite things to talk about. :) So we are planning to go camping again in the spring and my dad has a few places he wants to share with us. Also, this year, Kyleigh is entering her school's science fair and we are currently working on that, which is due in a couple weeks. Then there is Valentine's Day and I am looking forward to showering my girls with extra love. (Have I mentioned lately how crazy I am about my kids?? ;) ) Kyleigh and I have already turned our thoughts to my husband's birthday in the beginning of March. And Abby is beside herself with anticipation for Easter. Then I would like to take the kids (hopefully with my mother-in-law, sister-in-law and niece) to the zoo at some point before it gets too hot around here (which happens early). Then my niece turns two in May....oh yea, I skipped over Mother's day and my birthday. oops :) Anyway, I think you get the point about the exciting things already in our calendars for the year.</span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> For so many people, usually myself included, ringing in the new year means making new resolutions. On Facebook the other day, I noticed someone said something about not making resolutions so as to not set themselves up to fail. They did have a point since most resolutions fall by the wayside and are completely forgotten by the middle of the year. (Then, don't we start thinking of things we will do differently <i>next</i> year?) While they did have a point, I can't say that I completely agree. If you want the resolution to come about bad enough, won't you make it so? Anyway, I'm about to go off on a tangent and will definitely not be able to find my way back. :p I'm my father's daughter that way. This year I don't want to make any resolutions. (This idea alone was enough to make me feel free. haha) Instead, I'm going to pick a few things off my bucket list and do them. No wavering, no excuses. This is for me personally. (While I am so very excited about the lots of family stuff on tap, as a mom, I tend to forget about doing stuff for me.) </span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I do have a good-sized bucket list, but I thought it best to start with picking 3 things and going from there. :) It should work out nicely because my sister-in-law is talking about going skydiving to celebrate her birthday (which happens to be in May a few days after mine) and asked if anyone wanted to do it with her. I do! :) And then for the hot air balloon, there is the hot air balloon festival that happens in October around here (no, we didn't make it last year) that we WILL be going to this year. They have hot air balloon rides! Lastly, for the language one, the hubby said he wanted to learn a romance language together so I got him books to learn Portuguese for Christmas. Either that or I will seriously commit to learning French so I can hold a conversation with my Canadian relatives in their own language. </span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> So, here's to a new year full of new memories waiting to be made! <i>::lifts up coffee mug::</i> Cheers! :)</span><br />

Day 1<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My dad and my sister love to go camping and have been doing it for a good amount of time now. This last time they went, they invited me and my family along. I've never been camping but have always wanted to go so I jumped at the chance. The girls were almost as excited as I was. :) (Nate isn't really an outdoors-kind of person.) </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I picked Kyleigh up early from school Friday and we headed out to the lake to meet my dad and sister at the campsite. They had gotten to the site earlier in the day to get everything set up before the girls and I arrived.</div>

It's pretty obvious they've been doing this awhile. :) They have that nice big tent in the back of the site, which is enormous when you step inside it. The living area is covered and there are a couple clothes lines for hanging wet clothes. On the other side of the picnic table is the "kitchen" area. My dad had a couple tables set up with drying racks and a griddle and a bin with all sorts of utensils. He also had a light up above the table and a radio, too. It was a seriously sweet setup. <br />

While we were on a walk around the campgrounds, I found a baby toad. Man, this took my sister and I back to when we used to hunt and catch these in our backyard and put them in a really big bucket with grass and sticks and stuff. :) Good times.<br />

All the students had selected pieces of artwork displayed around the school along with pieces of pottery made in art class. In different places all around the school, other students were set up and playing instruments throughout the evening. One of the students playing a violin gave me chills. She was playing some serious classical pieces that made you stop where ever you were standing and your jaw drop in awe of this little kid playing such big music. Listening to another little boy playing the piano was also impressive. You can tell all of these kids work really hard at their instruments and have a lot of talent!<br />
<br />
Kyleigh showed us around the school and proudly showed off her wonderful pieces of art. :)<br />

All of this was in preparation for the "Got to be NC Festival" happening this weekend. We can't wait to go!Tanyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07493133153064879206noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1571569247993957244.post-33747125282040971552012-05-16T07:43:00.001-07:002012-05-16T07:43:24.157-07:00Teacher Appreciation Week!In Kyleigh's Monday Folder, there was a sheet letting us parents know about next week's activities in honor of Teacher Appreciation. <br />
<br />
Here is what the PTA is asking for:<br />
Monday: Muffin Monday -- or substitute fruit or a special sweet for your teacher and their assistant.<br />
Tuesday: Flowerful Tuesday -- send in a small plant or a lovely flower. It can be from your garden.<br />
Wednesday: Thank You Card Wednesday -- have your child make a card for their teacher and assistant. Be sure and include your thanks as well. You may want to include a Coupon to volunteer that can be redeemed by the teacher such as Center Help, Reading Out Loud, Cleaning the Classroom, or Making a Bulletin Board. Be sure and put your contact information on the coupon.<br />
Thursday: School Supplies Thursday -- some suggestions have been colorful expo markers, stickers, reams of colorful paper or bordered copy paper, prize pencils, books for the classroom library - ask your teacher what they need.<br />
Friday: Parent's Choice Surprise Friday -- Suggestions - small gift cards for lunch out, books, coffee. The only limit is your imagination. Have fun with your child showing your teacher and their assistant how much you care.<br />
<br />
So, with all that in mind, I got on Pinterest (where else?!?! :p ) and searched for Teacher Appreciation gifts....I know I had seen some before and thought they were super cute.<br />
<br />
Here is a list of Teacher Appreciation Gifts I found via Pinterest. Enjoy!<br />

We've recently had rain that left some puddles. Leave it to my kids to find the only puddle of mud. haha Kyleigh had been running and jumping over the mud puddle until she slipped and fell on her butt square in the mud. After that it wasn't about jumping <em><strong>over</strong></em> the puddle, no no no, it became time to jump <em><strong>in</strong></em> the puddle. haha<br />

It's really easy to make and feels so soft that it's almost like you aren't touching anything at all. It takes 8 cups of flour and 1 cup of baby oil.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4X01Ed6mDrg/T6H18I5j0tI/AAAAAAAAI6Q/sAb1zmoXeU0/s1600/P4261923.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4X01Ed6mDrg/T6H18I5j0tI/AAAAAAAAI6Q/sAb1zmoXeU0/s320/P4261923.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Then mix it up with your hands.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Then have at it!! Since it's moldable like wet sand at the beach, I brought toys out from the girls' play kitchen that they could use to play with the moon sand.<br />
