October!

Wow! I cannot believe October is already here! That means Thanksgiving is only a month away and then Christmas is right after that! The year has really flown by. Dave and I kept saying that after summer, things would start slowing down, but things just keep coming up for us to do. We postponed going to Dallas this weekend so that we could have a weekend to ourselves but Dave got invited to a Texans game on Sunday so it won't be all to ourselves. At least the girls will get some down time. They are both sick, which is why I am at home today, and Ally is getting another tooth in, so she is double sick. Ally never cries when we put her down for the night. Her and Emily usually laugh and talk for a while before falling asleep. But last night Ally started crying about 10 minutes after we put her down. Dave went in to make sure she didn't get stuck in the crib and when he came back, she had started crying harder. I went in to pick her up and wipe her nose and make sure she was ok and then laid her back down. That just upset her even more and she was upsetting Emily, so I decided to let her hang out with Dave and I for a while. As soon as she saw Dave, she started reaching for him and then she immediately started hugging him. Dave had closed at work the last two nights and so the girls had only seen him for a few minutes each night. I guess Ally really missed Dave. It was so cute how she cuddled with him for a while. He thought is was safe to go and put her back in bed, but she started screaming again. This is really not normal Ally behavior, so we knew she must have been in pain. Dave went and got her out of bed again and rocked her for a while. When she started playing, he decided to put her back in bed and she finally fell asleep. Both of the girls were coughing throughout the night so it was hard for any of us to sleep. Emily woke up at 2 am crying she had to go to the bathroom. Dave got up and took her but he was too tired to stay with her so I helped her finish. When my alarm went off to get up for school, I decided it wasn't a good idea to take the girls. I called in sick and then tried to go back to sleep. The girls have been doing good since they got up this morning but Ally didn't like going down for a nap. It should be an interesting day!
