Never A Dull Moment!

Last night I fell and I mean FELL into bed at 8pm! I was exhausted!! As I began to go to sleep I started thinking about life with two in about 3 and a half months!! That's all that's left!! I can't believe it!! I am getting so so excited, but I'm sure I will be MIA for a while as I struggle just to keep up with a newborn and a 19 month old!

It was a day yesterday! We found fleas on our dog AGAIN!!! Not that intense this time, but a pain none the less between getting him an emergency flea bath and doing a thorough cleaning of the house! That alone was enough to wear me out!!!

Is anyone else having a flea issue this summer? I think b/c it is so hot and humid! Our dog has NEVER had fleas in the three years we've had him! Now, this summer, he gets them twice! We keep frontline on him so I can't figure it out!! Last time, it was a huge deal...we had to get the apartment fumigated which meant me and Madeline couldn't be in the house for 4 hours after Joe sprayed ( thanks to his connections to Cooks)! We packed up and stayed with his parents for the night! This time, I only found three..but still! Frontline should do the trick right? Me and Maddy gave him a flea bath and then checked him again, did a thorough cleaning of the house and Joe gave him another treatment. So far, so good! I think one or two just jumped on him outside, but still..YUCK!

After all that intense cleaning I was ready for a long nap for Madeline..but she had other plans!! She was on a "no nap" strike, which comes rarely..but comes none the less! It was really hard to finish my cleaning while she was unplugging the vaccume, throwing herself on the bed, pulling all the clothes out of drawers, destroying her room, pulling magazines out and ripping them all up, taking all her diapers out of her diaper stacker,ect! By the afternoon and our second attempt at a nap, I figured a showing of "Elmo in Grouchland" was a good idea! Needless to say, I fell asleep in 10 minutes!

She is so fast around here! As soon as you turn your back she is into something else!Here's what happend when I accidentally forgot to close the pantry door today. You can't see it in the picture, but there is a huge pile of napkins on the floor that she pulled out too!

She's so cute though, It's hard for me to stay mad at her!!!

We try to stay inside as much as we can lately, b/c lets face it, the heat is unbearable and my northern roots really come out in the summertime! If it's above 90 degrees, I really can't handle it...especially pregnant!! Here's some pictures of her on our adventure Monday, shopping for Gabriel!

Here she is in the car!

"Hi"!

And here she is in her favorite chair from PBK.Anyone want to give me $100 dollars so I can buy it for her!!!???

So, there really is never a dull moment around here! Between fleas and a toddler and one on the way, I really start to miss those days when nap time was daily occurance!!
