10 on Tuesday
1. Christmas is over, and now it’s time to clean up the mess in the house! We had a WONDERFUL Christmas, but I’m ready to have my house back.
2. Where in the world am I going to put all of these toys?? I bought storage bins so we could put a bunch of toys away, but it’s going to be hard to pick out which ones to put away because Chase literally plays with everything.
3. I had to go to the doctor yesterday to have a test done, and they made me step on the scale. Tennis shoes and all. How cruel is that to make somebody get on the scale 2 days after Christmas? Not cool.
4. Colton is growing like a weed. I originally thought that he would be smaller than Chase, but now I’m not so sure. He’s really starting to fill out. I love the little chubby thighs!
5. Our tree is now adorned with a bazillion handmade ornaments that Chase made at preschool. I absolutely love them!
6. Colton made us a present too. It’s his hand prints made into Mr. and Mrs. Claus with a cute little poem and then they framed it for us. I love it!
7. Chase’s Christmas party was so much fun last week. Santa came and Chase sat on his lap and told him he wanted a rocket ship. But he kind of acted like “why am I telling him again? I already told him once!” Colton of course slept through the whole party, just like he slept through Christmas day.
8. Chase’s new favorite movie is Polar Express. I may have already said this before, but he loves it. I told him that we get to go on a train like that and go up a big mountain and he cannot wait.
9. Now that Christmas is over Chase has been telling us he wants a choo-choo birthday. His birthday is not until May and he had a Choo-Choo birthday last year!
10. We have BIG plans for New Years Eve! We are staying at home with the kiddos! We will probably just get a movie to watch after the boys go to bed and then call it a night. I know, I know, big party animals. We should really try to tone it down a bit.

10 on WEDNESDAY!
1. Christmas is almost here!! I cannot wait! Santa probably went a little overboard, but Santa has a hard time resisting buying stuff he knows the boys will like.
2. Thank goodness I’m off next Monday so I can have a day to figure out where the heck I’m going to put all of the stuff the boys get from Santa and from both sets of grandparents and their uncles. Word on the street is that Uncle Chad went a little crazy buying for Chase this year. J
3. I had this grand, master plan all ready to set into motion this week to start getting Colton to sleep through the night by cutting out his middle of the night feeding. Dr. Harris said that he no longer needs that feeding. Well, Colton must have had a plan of his own because he started doing it on his own. Such a good little boy!
4. Colton is smiling like crazy now and cooing up a storm. I LOVE those baby coos!!
5. Chase and Colton have a big Christmas party at daycare tomorrow. Santa will be there to read the kids a story and they’re having a gift exchange. They all drew names and got to pick out gifts to give to the name they drew. Chase REALLY likes the car we bought for Wyatt though…. I’m taking off tomorrow afternoon so I can go to the party.
6. I cannot wait to see Chase’s face on Christmas morning. He already lights up when he sees presents for other people, I can only imagine what he will do when he sees all of the presents that morning that are for him. Plus, he gets to open Colton’s presents too.
7. Chase survived his trip to St. Joe this last weekend. He did however end up getting the same stomach bug I had while he was there. Probably T.M.I but it involved some serious diarrhea. His little bottom was so red. I felt so bad for him. I was miserable making 5,000 trips to the bathroom, I can’t imagine doing that in a diaper.
8. Kyle and I are tossing around the idea of trading my 4Runner in for something bigger, a Tahoe to be exact. I have my eyes on one, but just not sure that I want to start over with a car payment. The extra room sure would be nice though!! But then we also need to still find a new house before Chase starts school. Yes, he’s only 2 ½, but before we know it he will be enrolling in Kindergarten. L
9. Chase has been a pure nightmare getting up in the morning during the week. He gets up and says “I wanna go night, night. I wanna stay home.” This morning Kyle was getting frustrated with him and he said “Chase Andrew!” Chase replied back in his pissed off 2 year old voice “I NOT Chase Andrew!!” Too funny.
10. I sure hope my Christmas present is here before Christmas, but I’m not counting on it sine the jewelry stores are so busy this time of year. Kyle got me a Mother’s ring with the boy’s birthstones, an Emerald and an Opal. It’s ordered, now just waiting….. So now we HAVE to be done having kids because I won’t be getting another ring. I had no idea those things were so expensive!!

10 on Tuesday
1. Little Colton is 2 months now! Well, I guess he isn't exactly little. He went to the doctor yesterday and now weighs 12 pounds, 2 ounces (85th percentile) and is 23 1/2 inches long (90th percentile). He was smiling like crazy at Dr. Harris, it was too funny. But that quickly ended when it was time to get his shots. I really hate that part. He screamed bloody murder.
2. Chase and Colton went and saw Santa on Sunday. I thought for sure Chase would chicken out and not want to sit on Santa's lap, but he was the complete opposite. He was so excited to go to Santa's house and wasn't so concerned about when it would be his turn. He smiled like crazy when it was his turn and told Santa he wanted a rocket ship. Then we played with monster trucks and a train. Chase DID NOT want to leave "Santa's house."
3. Speaking of the rocket ship, this was the first "Santa" had heard anything about Chas wanting a rocket ship. "Santa" thought he was done!
4. Chase told me last night that his ear hurt and then said "Mommy, I want it off." He could not understand why I couldn't just take his ear off for him.
5. I feel sicker than a dog right now. I had a massive headache come out of nowhere and now I feel extrememly nauseous.
6. I made 5 dozen cookies last night because we were having a cookie exchange at work today. So now I have 5 dozen other cookies to take home and I don't want any of them. The idea of eating them make me feel like I'm going to puke. Chase will take care of them I'm sure!
7. It's time to cut Colton off of his nighttime feeding per the pediatrician. I'm going to wait and do it this weekend when Chase is gone, that way I don't have to worry about keeping him up. Colton is now sleeping until about 3 or 4 in the morning wanting to eat.
8. We talked to the doctor yesterday about getting Colton's tongue tie clipped and he recommended a surgeon to us. We will probably wait until Colton is about 4 months to see how his tongue reflex is doing and then decide then. He said one benefit of leaving it the way it is is that if Colton is ever knocked unconscious then his tongue won't fly back and cut off his breathing. But I'm more worried about the social issue of it and the fact that he can't hold on to a paci, and he REALLY wants a paci. We can either clip it now or wait and see what happens with it. The Dr did agree with me though that it looks pretty tight. It's not a 'now or never' type of deal, so we can have it done at anytime. I prefer to do it now while he is still little.
9. Colton has also decided that he hates tummy time. When we put him on his tummy he is fine for a few minutes but then starts screaming. He can already use his legs to scoot a few inches and all he wants to do is stand on our laps. He's not even big enough to be holding up his head fully but wants to stand. He has BIG dreams! :)
10. Chase referred to Colton as "my brother" last night and it just melted my heart. I can't watch to watch them grow up together and see the bond that they form.

10 on WEDNESDAY
1. Yes, I am slacking big time. So 10 on Wednesday this week.
2. Chase and I have gotten rid of our bug we had. Kyle on the other hand has been put on another round of antibiotics, a steroid, and vicodine. His strep throat got that bad. And Lord have mercy on me for having to put up with it! :) I say it all the time, but if it was up to Men to have babies the world would come to an end. They are such wimps!
3. I am am officially back at work. I HATED leaving my baby, but I was pretty ready to get back to work and get back into a routine. Plus I missed all of my friends at work.
4. The other night while Chase was sitting on the potty eating a blizzard (actually, I was feeding it to him) he looked down at his pee-pee and said "I don't want that no more. It broken. It got a hole." Made me laugh so hard!! He was dead serious. He didn't understand why I couldn't just get rid of it for him.
5. Today was a fun day. NOT! I had an IUD put in and it hurt like hell, I'm not going to lie. I feel absolutely fine now, just a little cramping, but it did not feel that great going in. She had to tilt my cervix and it pretty much felt like a semi-truck was trying to drive through me.
6. Colton goes for his two month appointment next Monday, which means shots :(
7. This was our first week paying double day care. Fun times! Kyle doesn't even know how much we are paying now, he said not to tell him. Probably afraid he'll have a heart attack.
8. I realized this week how much I love the kids daycare. They are spoiling Colton rotten and are really helping Chase adjust to everything. His teacher checked out a bunch of books from the library for him about being a big brother and having a new baby in the house. Well, I guess it was the "library school bus" as Chase calls it. They have the Bookmobile Jr. come to school every month and the kids get to checkout books. Chase has checked out the same tractor book the last 3 months. Surely there is a limit....
9. I still have a ton of Christmas shopping to get done. Chase's final present was delivered yesterday, thanks to the Disney store. It's a big Mater truck. Believe it or not, they are IMPOSSIBLE to buy in the stores. You can get the "new" mater, but not the original Mater that was in the first Cars movie.
10. I get to go to Tequila's tomorrow for my work Christmas celebration and I am so excited! Then on Saturday night we are going out with a bunch of friends for my friend Melissa's husband's 30th Birthday.
