Movie Review: 27 Dresses

I really liked this movie a lot, I'd already gotten a lot of good reviews from other people so I expected it to be good. The problem I had while watching this movie was feeling incredibly bad for the main character. Their were several times where I wanted to just cry for her. In general I loved the movie, I really like Katherine Heigl, I can't remember how to spell her name. I would recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it.

I don't have anything to write about, but I'm planing on watching 27 Dresses while I work out tonight. I've heard good things about it so I'll let you know what I think later tonight or tomorrow

All's Well

The kids checked out great at their appointments today. Sierra was such a big girl, she did everything the doctor asked her to do without any fussing. Reece was a big pain in my butt, he cried the whole time we were waiting. i couldn't find any way to keep him satisfied. At least the appointment was much faster than I remember Sierra's being last time. We got there at 8 and did paperwork, went back and had eye drops put in to dilate there eyes, then we had to wait half an hour for the drops to work. After that they checked their eyes and we were out of there by 9:15. Now were good to go for another year.

Eye Apptointments

The kids have their annual eye doctor appointments today. This is actually Reece's first time being seen and i think it's been over a year for Sis, but better late than never. The kids have to be routinely screened for juvenile cataracts, another lovely, possible side effect of the RTS. Hopefully they'll be cooperative. I remember Sierra's first visit being very long and we did a lot of waiting. They had to put the drops in her eyes and then I think we waited for an hour for them to work. At least they have a pretty good waiting room otherwise it might be really hard to keep them entertained. Hopefully everything will check out normally and we wont have to go back for year.

About Time

We went out in the backyard to play for the first time this spring. It was fun to let the kids run free. We have a lot of plans this summer, such as, a pool or trampoline and just fun outside stuff in general. Hopefully that will encourage us to spend lots of time outdoors. Reece had a bit of trouble with the grass. He doesn't like the feel of it on his feet so I encouraged him to walk around barefoot a lot to get him desensitized. His feet are really sensitive and that's one of his big reasons for not walking. Here a re some cute picture of the kids on our first backyard outing.



See how he curls his toes under.

OK, Here it goes

I'm going to try out the picture advice I got and see if it works. I'm typing all of this first and then I'm going to add my pics.


We had lots of fun at the park and I managed to get some cute shots of the kids out in the sun. Of course we do all we can to keep them protected from the sun, as you can see from Reece's hat and glasses. Sierra still managed to get a bit red and she's also broken out in a rash on her neck that is really itchy. I don't know if the rash is from the sun or the plants outside, it seems to happen every summer and it doesn't matter what I do, I can't prevent it. I think I'll have her allergy tested this year.


Here come the pics...




Big Boy


Sierra and her cousin, Faith.



She climbed up all by herself.



IT WORKED!!!! Shannon you are amazing! This has been driving me crazy for months. If anyone else is having the same troubles I mentioned in my previous blog check out the comment from Shannon.

Fun Times


We are planning to spend some of the day today with Mel and her kids. Hopefully it will be nice enough for us to go to a park or take a walk or something fun. The kids and I definitely need to get out of the house. Reece is so clingy when were at home, I'm not sure why, but he doesn't want to entertain himself. He wants me to play with him constantly or hold him and, Heaven Forbid, I try to sit down at the computer because somehow he knows and his whole world falls apart. He will crawl into the doorway of the kitchen and sit on his knees and scream until I come get him. Hopefully getting out of the house will help with some of Sierra's wiggles too.


Just a quick side question: When I upload pictures to blogger why do they have to place them above the writing I've just done. I have to plan out what I'm going to say so I can get the pics on first otherwise the pictures come before the story and I like them to follow. I've tried copying/pasting and that doesn't seem to work either. Is there any way for me to write and then add pictures without them being above what I just wrote?

In case you can't tell this obviously just happened when I tried to add the pic of Reece at my feet and It really irritates me.HELP!
