One Roommate Gone

For the last 4 months I've been living in a family's basement in Riverton, Utah because of my internship. There are 4 other guys that also live in the apartment. It's a nice place. This is my last week! Woohoo. One of the other roommates decided to move out as well. Turns out he was the one that owned most of the dishes in the kitchen. (And almost all of the food in the freezer)

So what are we supposed to do for cereal now?

I'm not above using tupperware as a bowl. I don't care.
Here's an idea I hadn't thought of though: A paper plate!
And then there is always the ever classic of stuffing a handful of cereal in your mouth and taking a swig of milk from the jug.

But thankfully I have foresight and I brought 2 bowls with me. Not sure why I brought 2... Only need one. Not like I'm going to have any breakfast guests over.

But like I said, this is my last week. Then some guy in his late 60's by the name of Rolf will move in and take my place. Good luck Rolf. You'll be living with 3 teenage boys that don't own bowls.

My reality check

Remember how in my last few posts I talked about how we were teaching Channing to put himself back to sleep by letting him cry it out? Since Channing has been sick for over a week that has all gone down the drain.... The poor kid is so congested all the time. When we wakes up at night he usually will not take his binky and fall back asleep. Instead he needs his nose suctioned, which usually requires Justin holding Channing's head still or it's impossible. And lately he will not go back to sleep at all until he's fed again. Last night it was every 3 hours. I don't know if it's because his throat hurts or he just wants to be held. Whatever the reason, nights have been a little rough around here. Oh, and his naps during the day have been pretty bad. Crying a lot before falling asleep and then only sleeping for 20 or 30 minutes. Motherhood is definitely a 24/7 job. With no lunch breaks. And get this! Channin...

Happy Halloween!

I wanted to do a quick Halloween post so I won't ever forget how adorable Channing was. He was a scarecrow this Halloween. We used a pair of his overalls and I sewed on a few patches of material and then we stuffed his pockets with straw. The paint on the nose thing didn't work so well...he rubbed it off the first time around. Our ward did a trunk-or-treat in the parking lot. Channing was a little skeptical about it all when we first started. But he quickly got the hang of walking up to people, grabbing candy, and putting it in his bucket. Someone gave him a sucker and he immediately had to have it! At least he's easy to please! Such a friendly scarecrow...had to say bye to the trick-or-treaters as they left.

Ooooh crap

Merry Christmas! It's December 12th and beginning to feel a lot like Christmas! The tree is decorated and we are slowly adding presents underneath it. What's new with the Hamilton crew? Well let me tell ya. Justin is starting a new job as St Alphonsus's webmaster next Monday. Which means I can kiss my daytime freedom goodbye. Since February Justin has been working at home with a start up company called RealResultsOnline. So if I had both kids down for a nap I could easily leave the house to go grocery shopping or whatever. Now I'm heading back to the reality of being a stay at home mom. Anyways...I'm sure I'll survive. Because what choice do I have?! We'll miss you Justin.... Especially Channing. That kid loves peeking in on Justin during the day and getting in lots of daddy play time. But we think this new job will give us better opportunities for the future. So yes, I gotta suck it up!...
