Well, I will start off saying that I have no new pictures of the kids. Still having camera issues, so will have to wait until my sister sends them my way. We had a great Thanksgiving. I didn't have to do any cooking which made my life easy. We headed to my sisters around 11:00 and came home around 7:00. The kids were so tired from no naps and a lot of playing. Last night Luke we had to take Luke to the ER after he woke up twice complaining of pain and shaking. This strange waking has happened in the past, but he usually fell right back asleep within minutes. Not this time. It took him a good 20 minutes to calm down the first time and 1 1/2 hour to calm down the second time. After he woke up the second time and I couldn't get him to calm down and stop shivering we decided to be safe and head to the hospital. Matt took him while I stayed with Mackenzie. Anyway, they said he was having night terrors. It is pretty crazy because he won't remember anything and he is so out of it both mentally and physically. We are to watch him, clock it when and if it happens again and just tell him we love him while he is going through an episode. They say not to try and ask what he is scared of b/c it could make it worse. The also said that the lack of sleep (no nap) could have triggered it last night. On a positive note, they think night terrors happen to extremely creative kids.
Also, Mackenzie seems to be having her breathing issues again. Tonight I gave her a treatment and hoping that things are better in the morning. If not I will be taking her to the doctor before things get worse. She also has the ugliest hacking cough for such a sweet little girl. This is the same time last year that she had breathing issues for a couple weeks.
Hopefully I will have some pictures this weekend.

Naptime w/ mom
I am having to blog early today b/c I have GNO tonight! Yippee!
So Mackenzie has this new thing where she wakes up after 45 minutes of her afternoon nap. I am convinced it is because she wants to come snuggle with me on the couch! I am taking it as a sign that I need to rest and so as a result I have taken a nap with Mackenzie the past 3 days. I know it is going to turn into a nasty habit, but just not worth the battle this week and it is so sweet.
Luke had gymnastics this morning. He did great! I am so thankful that he is so well behaved for his teachers. His group of four did not have a great day, but after class the teacher told me how every week Luke does such a great job listening. Now, if I can tranfer that behavior to home...I would be one happy mom 100% of the time! Next week will be interesting b/c Luke's friend Christopher will no longer be in his class.
Mackenzie has a couple new tricks. She learned how to go down the stairs by herself and she nods her head yes! She thinks she is pretty hot stuff! She is also one tough cookie. I can already tell she will be a tomboy! All her "elected" friends are boys and she hangs with the best of them. She will even knock them around if needed. Sadly, she has started hitting. Everytime she hits Luke I laugh inside. She learned it from him and now it is payback. She just randomly walks up to him, pops him and walks off. YOU GO GIRL! He did the same thing to her for months!
Lastly, I am going to order a book of Luke's artwork from snapfish. I saw it on Oprah. As you can see from the picture, his artwork is taking over our bulletin board in the playroom. I hate to throw it away, so I figure the book is a great idea!

Life in the slow lane
Not a busy weekend for us! Saturday consisted of a lot of hanging out at the house due to the weather, fairly cold for playing outside. I finally started running again. Allergies got the best of us for a couple weeks, but we are all well and kicking now. It wasn't pretty, but I did it anyway. The kids played great together. Surprising consiering Mackenzie is a little ball of fire when Luke takes things from her now. I was wondering when enough was going to be enough. So I guess another chapter of mommy pain will begin.
Sunday we went to church and the Galleria. Luke was on a mission to see Santa (he saw him at a different mall earlier in the week) so he was well behaved. Mackenzie on the other hand wants NOTHING to do with her stroller. All she wants to do is walk. She gets so side tracked that it takes us forever to get anywhere. This of course is another reason why I don't dare go shopping with the kids. Too much drama. The kids naped great and Sunday evening I got to take Luke to see Madagascar 2. He enjoyed it, but I think he liked the popcorn and drink better.
As for Christmas...Luke's list is getting out of hand. We are going to have a serious talking too about Santa's abilities!
So, here is to a fab weekend with the family!
