I am not sure what is going on with Jake and I that is very exciting. I canned some roasted tomato sauce and green tomato ketchup that was very yummy this weekend and Jake worked on a ramp for Andrew. Still, nothing too exciting, so on to...
Isabela and Maya's Adventures!!!!!!!
Isabela has not been a dog lately (thunderous applause), instead she has been a mouse (the crowd mutters and shifts in their seats). She wore her mouse costume for four days straight. It is currently our biggest behaviour lever. "If you aren't good we are going to take your mouse costume off." So when Trick or Treating caught us by surprise yesterday (Beaver Dam always has a weird Halloween schedule) she was ready. We did make he put on extra clothes underneath, but she was so excited to go she agreed immediately. We only went around our block and the one next to us, but she still was commenting on how heavy her bag was. It was primarily people that we knew and they all gave her handfuls of candy. Unfortunately, she is old enough now that she knows what candy is and we were forbidden from giving her candy away like we usually do after we got home. I had to go to the grocery store to get candy for giving away. By the time I got back, Trick of Treating was almost over, but Isabela still had fun answering the door. She was disconcerted though as she thought that the other kids should share with her. For some reason she was sure that they were going to stop and share whatever candy she gave them with her. Her idea of sharing is: you take a bite, and then I will take a bite. That is how she sometimes shares with us. She did offer to give us some candy from her bag,which was very sweet. She told Nanna today that she would only share with Mommy and Daddy. Maya, as she often informs us, is too little.
Maya is finally happier after being sick. I took her into the doctor on Thursday, just to be sure, but she is finally fully recovered. She hasn't been sleeping well, but I am not sure if that is because she is cold, or because her teeth are bothering her. She still doesn't have any teeth (or much hair), but I am convinced that both are coming along. Tonight we bought a heater for her room as well as a cellular shade. Her window is on the north side of the house, so I think that she will be more comfortable tonight. I really hope so, since she is wearing me down. You wouldn't think that it would be that bad, after all, Isabela didn't even sleep through the night until about a year ago. However, I have gotten used to getting three or four hours in a row, and I rather like it. Maya normally sleeps from 7:30 at night until 3:30 or so in the morning and then sleeps until 6 or 6:30. I like that schedule. Since I go to bed at about 11 or 12, that works for me. The last several nights she has been waking up every couple of hours, and that does not work for me. I need more continuous sleep. If the heater doesn't help, I am at a loss. I have karate tomorrow after a two week hiatus since everyone was sick. If I don't get at least five hours of sleep I am sunk. I have too much sleep debt to live with less than that. So what I am I doing writing Adventures instead of sleeping while I can? Good question! I think that I am going to go to bed right now! Hopefully I can find time to write again in the next couple of days. I am writing early tonight since I am ignoring the pile of dirty dishes in my kitchen. :o) I hope everyone (including me) has a wonderful night!
Good night all! Only 10:30 and I am off to bed! Hooray!
