Been pouring snow

For a while now. Perfect for sledding. Too bad we are totally flat.

Today we went to the Capitol for John Boozman's announcement. We got to know John during his brother's campaign in '98 (David was Fay's press secretary). When Isaac was 2 months old we went to DC. He met us there (He was a US Rep then too) and personally gave us a tour of the Capitol Building. We got to see areas that weren't open to the public- including where Abraham Lincoln is buried which was particularly neat for me since he's my cuz! He was such a nice man- and so understanding of my kids (Abigail had just turned 3, Noah was 20 mos).
We then went to Lake Norrell. David had to meet a few people. It was a nice drive until my car started to overheat. Guess it didn't like all the hills and speeding/slowing down thru the gravel roads. Must take it in next week. It is a bit of a problem when it is the only car your family fits in, but I can do it when my mom is here.
I have no working computer in this house. Now is the time to find great deals and I need a new coat :( The kids have managed to download viruses on my laptop (which was already old, falling apart, and had no memory... Sounds like me! Ha) and the desktop.

All State

This was Levi at All State auditions today. We got to get up at 4:45 this morning since they we're in Jonesboro. We arrived with just a few problems- nothing major. Levi was happy the entire way, I just got turned around in Jonesboro bc my gps kept putting me where I wasn't. Should have stuck with a map. Students rode back with parents so it was just me and L for the return trip and OH MY did I get turned around! Google's route had me on farm roads and then I missed a turn (being farm roads and all- there was nothing to indicate that's where I was supposed to turn). Wound up in Egypt AR (who knew?). It is a very sad little town. Never seen anything like it. Again, gps had me all over the place but once I found my location on the map and ignored the blue dot- I got back on track. Levi got hungry and I had to stop. After that it was all the way home w/o stopping though I hadn't eaten or gone to the bathroom since 10 am! Got home at about 5pm.
Results were posted and both of my students made the All State Mixed Choir. YEY. Levi was very glad to be home, Elijah was glad to have us home, and my mom was glad that she could go home!
LONG day!

oops!

So I had already blogged about the week before my post last night. Forgot about that :) When I post from my blackberry, I just send an email... I don't actually go to blogger to do it. I didn't think I'd posted since the Walmart trip.
Today didn't go any better for Levi. He only took 2 ounces from his bottle though I didn't feed him before taking him to church. I fed him once I got there to pick him up and he ate well. Then he fell asleep in the car. Tomorrow I plan to go earlier, take E to class, then go feed Levi at church. We'll see how how that goes. He'll have a bit longer to get hungry than if I feed him at home.
I will also try a different bottle. I've used just about everything, including the Breastflow bottle. That's all Elijah would take. I haven't tried Avent, though I think I still have some... somewhere. If I feed him when we get to church he will probably just wait for me to pick him up... which is nice b/c I won't have to pump but not nice b/c I'll have to feed him when I pick him up instead of hurrying home to get Elijah in bed. Elijah fell asleep in the car too which made it harder for him to get back to sleep once home. He did though, so no big deal. He's easy-going thank goodness. Even though he's in a toddler bed he stays in it and does what he's told. We still haven't had any discipline issues with him. He pretty much does what he's told. He only throws fits when he's tired, and I don't discipline him then b/c it is my fault he's tired. I'm crabbier than usual too when I haven't gotten enough sleep! He seems to be like Noah in that sense. Noah never needed more than a stern look. Oh if only they were all that easy!
