sigh........

I broke my babies heart for a moment today,

and wasn't sure mine would survive either.

She needed help on a picture and I didn't understand {listen} well enough and screwed up.

In frustration I snapped at her and wasn't very nice.

sending her into tears.

While loving her better, I thought about something I had read a few minutes earlier.

STOP.

LISTEN.

THINK.

THEN ACT.

{thanks Annie}

to bad I hadn't remembered that before.

Lesson learned.

p.s. she told me "apology accepted" <3 her!!

With that,

I leave you with one of the many random pics. I find on my camera

from her.

  

Stickers, sciccors and markers

Cloe loves to write letters, 

color and/or draw pictures,

and then give them to everyone she meets.

She is one of the sweetest little things {EVER}

and always thinking of others.

Today...

Her thoughts are on the Korth Family.

It is Aunt Tara's Birthday,

So ....

Birthday card it is.

Bransen gets a Get Well and Valentine card,

And

we can't forget her best friend Caleb,

he gets a Valentines card as well.

 XOXO

 

Still......

Sniff, Sniff, Cough, Cough. 

Cloe and I must be pretty cool......

Because, This thing that has come to visit us WON'T LEAVE!!!

Enough already.....

You've worn out your welcome,

and we are {sick} of you already.

Go Away!!! {PLEASE!!!}

We have loved the cuddle and relax time we have gotten, 

but....

we really wanna be able to play and breath again.

Sincerely, girls who don't like you anymore.

Day off......

Ok..

your probably asking Isn't every day a day off ,

when your a stay at home mom?! {ha..ha..HA}

or..

 how a stay at home mom has a day off?!

well..

the answers are NO!!!

and..

I busted my butt all day yesterday to have a day off. 

well kind of a day off.

I only had a few chores today.

vacuum the upstairs and change the laundry.

Then..

PTC with Izzy girl @ 9.

Which went Awesome!

She is doing very well and her teacher loves her.

She even cried a little talking about it.

Cloe has an awesome teacher!

*

 After that it was whatever we wanted.

And we have done just that.

We did a little homework and coloring.

We have had computer time.

I sent Aaron a picture of this informing him that 1 computer must not be enough for her.

His response was that it's called MULTI- tasking!!

I liked that better. 

;)

We had a nice lunch together and more cuddles while I rubbed her sore arm.

YES....

After 5 minutes she was sound asleep.

Poor little girl is still recovering from all this sickness.

But..she is now wide awake and spending 

QUALITY teasing time with brother.

Now just waiting for Bundy to get home.

Because we have NOTHING to do tonight!!!!!!

That means we get to see each other.

I'm so excited... 

I feel like a teenager getting to see their crush.

;)

sick days........

Cloe has been feeling a little under the weather lately,

So I made her a Doctor apt. Thursday,

but....

she insisted she was ok.

So...  against my better judgement I canceled it deciding that we would just give it the weekend to see if it would get better.

Things went ok until Sunday when she found me during class with a belly ache.

But she still insisted on staying and going back to class.

She loves Primary and school.

so Monday she woke up with a yucky nose but still I couldn't convince her that she should stay home and go to the doctor.

Tuesday comes along and she seems a touch better, so off to school she goes.

About an hour later I get a call from Cloe's school informing she is in the office not feeling well.

Poor little thing broke my heart when I saw her.

She had went from fair to BAD!

She could hardly stand up, or stay awake

and looked pale, with complaints of a bad throbbing headache 

and belly ache.

I got right on the phone and got her right in.

Results = 

101.7 temp. 

really bad sinus infection

and

infection all the way down her throat.

Meaning.....

 

Yesterday was.....

Tissues and coloring books

and lots of 

SNUGGLING!!!

And today.....

buckets and cartoons

O and

KISSES !!!

say what.........?????

Computer time went a little like this today...

 Aaron has let Cloe start We Topia on his F.B.

So after school she gets on to play and of coarse...

She has to see who is on line that she can chat with.

Which happens to be me and Aunt Billie.

we had some fun little conversations that take an open mind and imagination to say the least...

She is learning to read and spell.

And like every kiddo, she spells everything she doesn't know just how it sounds. 

here are a few examples:

wnsenkin {one second}

soe {sorry}

sore iprtitoomieses {sorry i put in too many c's}

bivawawis {by the way this is}

watdiddo   {what did i do}

hilo or halo {hello}

She is so fun and keeps us on our toes around here.

and no f.b. unattended is safe around here.

Cloe loves to talk with everyone.

I think most of us has been hacked by her at least once, and most people respond back with "Hello Cloe".

 :)

Cloe also learned how to tie her shoes yesterday and how to spell her last name today.  

She's growing up!

:) ... :(      

a shoveling we go.....

Bitter Sweet.......

The 4 wheeler still isn't working so....

This

 

Is what I get.

Pretty NiCe right!?

 Don't ya just love their sense of style....

I have to admit, it's NOT the first time I've captured Aaron like this.

When we were younger and first married,

he had slipped his cowboy boots and cowboy hat on 

with his lounge shorts and t-shirt.

Apparently when your gonna shovel snow,

or just run out to feed your pupper dogs

ANYTHING goes. 

LoVe My BoYs!!!! 

and....

their style!!

I'm really starting to regret moving to the city.

we should at least be living on the outskirts.
