nail polish nightmare

Yes, there's an interesting story to go along with the title of this entry. Sunday afternoon was spent at my in-laws house celebrating my sister-in-law's 13th birthday. We had cake and sang, then she went outside with her friends and we mainly hung out inside. Matt had to go to work and it was just me and my mother in law, along with Landon, Mady ( 2 1/2) and Zeke (3 yr old brother in law). Sharleen (my mother in law) and I were talking while I rocked Landon to sleep and we noticed the two other kids were awfully quite upstairs. Since Sharleen was holding Landon now, I went upstairs to look for them. They weren't in Zeke's room or the bathroom, or the office or master bedroom. I then went in Sarah's room and didn't see them so I left and shut the door. That's when my brain registered the overwhelming smell of nail polish. I went back in the room and called for the kids and noticed a small door on the side of the room open and Zeke and Madelyn emerged, COVERED!! Zeke's face was completely covered in pink, purple, red and teal nailpolish, covering every speck of natural skin color. Madelyn had a large amount on her cheek, hands, arms and legs. Plus lots of spots in her hair! We didn't know where to start so of course, we took pictures! We needed to get this off the kids and polish remover wasn't working so we threw them in the bath tub, added some olive oil and let them soak for awhile. After about an hour, most of the nail polish was off Madelyn, with the exception of the bit in her hair. We went home, got pj's on and went to bed..... at 9:30pm!!! (only 2 hours after her bed time!) I'm still trying to get it out of her hair but the rest of her is pretty clean now!

Landon Jay has arrived

Landon Jay Douglass has arrived. He weighed in at 9 pounds 13 oz and 21.5 inches long. Born Wednesday, Feb 22, 2012 at 12:03 am. We are so blessed! More to come later!

no news yet.....

still waiting on baby boy to arrive.... he apparently is stubborn like his sister. At least the dr said I would be induced by next weekend if he doesn't come sooner.

So much in so little time!

It's been quite the month in January here in our house.
The first weekend in January, Matt's cousin Alysha, moved in with us to complete an internship. She'll be here for 8-10 weeks and living in our guest room. We love having her here! Mady loves her too and Alysha is already her new best friend. She's been so nice and helpful, watching Madelyn for us if we want to go out or helping with dinner or dishes. It's nice to have someone else here too when Matt works in the evenings with his second job.
Which brings me to that. Matt now works for Delta during the day, as always. But now he also works for an inventory company, going to different stores in the evening and doing inventory for them. It's nice to have the extra money coming in to pay off some debt sooner, but gets kind of lonely when he's gone at night. Another reason I am glad to have Alysha here.... I hate going to bed without Matt in the house and feel better knowing she's here too. Hopefully we can get the debt paid off soon, or at least some of it, and then go back to just one job for him :)
We are getting so close to having baby #2. I will officially be 37 weeks tomorrow and next Saturday, one week from now, when I go to the dr again, they will hopefully strip my membranes and maybe get things started. Baby boy is measuring right on track, not too big or too small. Weight gain has been really good, 25 pounds so far in 37 weeks. Hopefully he will make his appearance soon, since he already has a little personality and I can't wait to meet him!
