Or both. A week ago, a day after turning 2, Matthew fell down a couple stairs into the garage. He landed face first on the concrete and when Trevor passed him to me all I could see was blood coming out of his nose. I took him inside and wiped him up and noticed blood was in his mouth too. Upon further investigation I saw one of his front teeth was broken :( I wanted to cry but since he was upset and I didn't want him to see me crying, I didn't. But I did cry later!
It doesn't seem to bother him as far as sensitivity goes, he doesn't touch it or hesitate to eat or drink or keep those dee's (his name for pacifier) in his mouth. The dentist has referred us to a pediatric dentist because the nerve appears to be exposed. The pedi dentist will advise us of our options, be it to pull or cap. Thankfully it's not his adult tooth that's broken (like Michael!) but it still makes me sad so I'm hoping the dentist just caps it!

Happy 2nd Birthday to Matthew!!
Today my "baby" turned 2. I guess he's officially a toddler now although he's been one for a while, I'm just in denial. The picture on the left was taken within 12 hours of being born and the picture on the right I took last week. Matt is such a fun kid. The more he grows the more I look forward to getting to know him more. Foo got a lot of presents today but loved his balloons! That may change if he pops one and hears how loud they are hahaha. We had family come to celebrate with us and had a minion party (from Despicable Me 2 which is constantly playing in the van). Trev found this idea for a cake and we created it, turned out pretty good!
My camera was not behaving tonight but I managed to get a few good shots.

Grabbing moments wherever I can
Life is so busy.
Every day there are little differences but the big things are the same: get up, get kids up, get off to the bus, take bus back, drive home, play, nap, lunch, D to school, back home to play or errands, get bus, pick up D, do bussing, take bus back, drive home, make dinner, wash dishes, make lunches, Mike and Oz have chores, homework (hardly), shower, quiet time (reading) and bed, the little two sometimes have a bath, then a book, bed.
I try and sneak my shower in between the younger two's bedtime and the older two's. It's busy. And often loud. Did I mention we also have 4 animals?? (<--- someone isn't too bright).
Tonight when I went to send the older two to read for their quiet time they begged me to play a game with them instead. I was strong and said no, it's important to get reading in. Then they brought out the big guns "you never do anything with us that's fun anymore, there's never time for games".....and they are right. We are so accustomed to our schedule that there really isn't extra time. So I relented and told them I would go have a shower while they read, then we would play until quiet time was over. I enjoyed it, as did they.
And I almost missed it because I was too busy worrying about the stupid schedule.

2014, where has the time gone?
This blog is going to be a way for me to document my journey through motherhood, the good and the bad. It's also a place for my family to check in on us since we don't live as close as we'd all like. I have 4 wonderful boy and life is busy (to say the least!). I'm not sure yet how often I'll be writing probably more at times and less at others.
I'm hoping I'll be able to post pictures as well to this blog. Here's one I took this week of Matthew, who will be turning 2 on Saturday! He's such a happy little guy and loves having free reign of the toys when his older brothers are at school ;)
Anyway, I was up bright and way too early at 4:30 this morning (it was my morning to check busses) so I'm planning to take a nap now since both little guys are asleep!
