should I or shouldn't I

Well, let me start by saying that I LOVE LOVE LOVE being a stay-at-home mom, however, it is the first time in my life that I have not worked or gone to school and that is strange. 

I have a job interview on Friday, I am excited, sad, and confused on whether I should take the job if it is offered to me. It as at my former place of employment and I am pretty sure that a job offer will be made. In this economy I know I should probably just jump at the chance to have a job. 

The job is as a pharmacy technician and it is a contingent position. This  means not even part-time. I would be required to work 2 days a week, weekends and some holidays.. I love having weekends with my family and am not looking forward to working holidays. 

It is not enough to pay for child care so the kids will be with Ben's mom or Ben and maybe on the weekends with one of my oldest friends (people I have known the longest..  not OLD).. 

Ben is supportive of whatever decision I decide to make.. I don't want to make the wrong one.. I know I will miss my babies. A lot to think about..

This and that

Wow, what a morning I had.. between Noah crying and Katelyn playing in the toilet and getting her church clothes wet, I was a little crazy.

Katelyn has this obsession with water--ok what kid doesn't. So, while I was feeding Noah, she disappeared only to be found splashing in the toilet. Normally I would have taken this in stride, but today was Noah's baptism and she was dressed specifically for that.. Therefore, I had to strip her and put her clothes in the dryer (clean toilet water..). 

While her clothes were drying she tried to hide her sippy in the heat register.. Another of her favorite things to do is to hide things in places that open or close.  For example, cupboards, toys, oh and my personal favorite the heat register.

having a toddler definitely means no dull moments.. 

Yesterday she and daddy went sledding in the backyard 

 Katelyn is also trying to master walking, she took about 4 steps several times today.. GO KATELYN.

Noah is just up to being cute and a happy, good baby..

Baby smiles and randomness

So, I guess after almost 10 weeks, I should be used to functioning on 3 hours asleep some nights and never really getting into a deep sleep on others, but I am not. Ben is really great about helping out when he doesn't work, but sometimes the kids don't cooperate with that plan.. 

In other news, Noah is very "chatty" and has really started to smile socially. It is so cute.. 

Katelyn has taken a few steps, but still finds it more efficient to crawl.. and only on few occasions has attempted to gouge her brother's eyes out.. At others she is being extremely gentle trying to help soothe him when he cries.. 

She has also taken to using the swing as her own toy..

Definitely never a dull moment around here..
