So Marcus got the first point in the very amusing game of giving Mom heart-failure today. We were at Menards looking for carpet and I had the twinnkies in one of those car-carts. I had looked down at them thru the little back window and saw both their hats were gone so I started retracing my steps to find them. After I found the 2nd hat I looked again and Marcus was gone! Somehow he’d gotten out of the seatbelt & out of the car when I had stopped the cart. I went into full-on panic mode. I was running through the isles calling for him and practically tackled the first store person I saw who immediately got on his handset. Thankfully he’d only gotten around the corner and an older female associate had captured him. I think I snatched him out of her arms so fast she probably thought I was insane… and well maybe just then I was. Needless to say he had to ride in the regular cart seat, tightly belted in, for the rest of the visit.

He also earned the first point in truly irritating his brother tonight. When we got home I gave the babies their bath. Once they were done they were running buck wild around the bathroom. Marcus climbed back into the tub (empty now) and decided to do some business. I scooped him up and got him cleaned up and diapered and had Austin watch Ellie. Once I had Marcus squared away and was getting Ellie in her jammies I told Austin that since he had late homework again his new punishment was to clean up the mess his brother had made in the bathtub. Then I told him that from now on anytime he had late homework he’d have to cleanup baby messes. He thought that was a pretty good incentive to do his homework on time.

Marcus also had his early learning screening today. Which I am happy to report came out far better than the initial one. They are going to come back in January to check him again. They think he should be talking more than he is. I’m not sure I agree with their findings but it was tonnes better than what the doctor thought at the 18-month checkup.

So all my monkeys are in bed where they are supposed to be! I am going to just veg out for a little bit because it just seems to have been an extremely long week and I am very glad the weekend is here. Oh… I did get some carpet after all that! We’ll see how that adventure goes tomorrow!

Happy Halloween! Happy Samhain! Happy All Hallow’s Eve! Happy Harvest! Whatever your pleasure here’s to you!

18-month check-ups were on Friday, Oct 15th. They both did well at their check-up even though Ellie gave the Doctor a bit of a hard time. They also got their flu shots and thankfully have had no ill effects from that.

Having some well-deserved chocolate milk after their flu shots!

Ellie and Marcus had their 4-month checkup today and passed with flying colors! They are both happy, healthy little babies!

Marcus
Height	Weight	Head

They also had to get 2 shots and an oral vaccine which didn’t go over well. It wasn’t nearly as bad as their 2-month shots but they both cried. Ellie alot more than Marcus again but Marcus seems to be the one who is going to be feverish. I just gave them both another dose of Tylenol with bedtime. Hopefully they won’t be sick like they were last time.

Ellie is 4-months old!
