Yikes, what a week!

Wow,
Last week was a crazy week. It started out so good! I took the kids to the babysitting co-op I am a part of and cleaned my house. It was so nice. I went through all of their toys, cleaned out the back hall closet and made it the new toy closet, I put away all the baby stuff (swing, jumper, exersaucer)changed some beds, cleaned 2 bathrooms, swept, mopped, vacuumed up stairs and down.... I was so happy! I kept it clean, spotless, until Thursday when I ended up getting a 24hr bug and could hardly function. Yuck. I haven't felt that crappy in a LONG time. I was totally wasted and worthless. Friday I spent trying to play catch up and running errands. Devon worked all day Saturday until I had to leave for our RS service/dinner/conference. All in all it was a decent week and I hope that next week will be just as productive minus the worthless Thursday. As for news Kate is doing well with her therapy. After her session was over this week Amy, her therapist, asked me how her eating is going. I told her the problems she is having and then she enlightened me a little. She suggested that Kate is having problems with food for one of two reasons. 1) because she is highly sensitive to textures and just doesn't like them or 2)(and the one she feels is the real problems) that her muscle tone is low in her face and mouth, just like in the rest of her body, and that she actually gets tired of eating before she is actually full. To this she suggested that after she is done eating the solid food that I give her on her tray that I need to offer her baby food. Things she can eat without working to eat it ie: applesauce, baby food, oatmeal. As soon as she said this I was like....AH HA! It totally makes sense! So I have been trying it lately and sure enough, when she is done eating the food on her tray she is still hungry and eats what every "easy" food I offer her. So hopefully now she will gain a little more weight and maybe it will help with her therapy and muscle gaining. So that is the new news with Kate. Austin, well he is just happy Austin. So funny to talk to and likes to talk a mile a minute. He is getting to be a real smart brute and picks up on things a little too quickly LOL. He is fun to have around and is turning into nice company during the day. Devon is still as busy as ever and is only home enough to sleep. I sure can't wait till winter. It will be a nice break from this insane blessing of our first real season. As for me and my business, it is going well. It's pretty steady and I really enjoy it. I am learning more and more everyday of the tricks to selling things online and one of these days Laura and I are going to venture out and start selling vinyl on ebay. As for now I am just holding on and gearing up for a hopefully exciting holiday season! Anyway, hope you were able to keep up with this ever changing post. I will run through and see what pictures I can grab from this week!
