Ugh...I am totally feeling like I am lacking in patience these days and I am not liking it! I keep getting frustrated with Jacob for different reasons and they are things that I really shouldn't be mad at him for. He is only 4 1/2 and I think that I sometimes expect too much out of him! I am going to try and set up a better routine for us during the day where I spend more time doing things with him(and Cameron too!) during the day rather than me constantly telling him to go play while I try to get my stuff accomplished...that just means I need to spend my time a little wiser in the evenings after the kids are in bed!
I am completely stressed out about our health insurance situation. After Jason's union health insurance expired in February I purchased a health insurance policy that will help us out in the event of something catastrophic, but basically sucks for the sick child appointments. Each of us is allowed 3 office visits per year with a $50 co-pay...anything after that we will be completely out of pocket until the deductible is met, which is $10,000! It also has a huge list of things that it doesn't cover at all...the main one being any injury/accidents caused from any ATV/Dirt bike crash. I just know Jason is gonna break something when he goes out of town riding cause he is an idiot on that stupid quad and then we will be paying for it forever. We will still be paying $275 per month for that crappy coverage. I really don't get how these health insurance companies can expect people to afford the monthly payments to have an insurance policy that actually covers anything! The cost of a policy similar to what we had before would cost our family $900 per month! I applied for the Apple Health program for the boys...if we get approved for that then they will at least have all of their stuff covered for like $60 bucks a month...
On a happier note: current stuff with the boys! I found out about a Baby/Child photo contest that a photographer in Monroe was putting on. She was offering free 15 minute photo shoots and then would pick one of the pictures to enter in the contest. The winner of the contest gets a free full photo shoot as well as a bunch of other items. The boys had their photo shoot on Tuesday, and boy did she get some cute ones! Maybe we will win!
I still can't get over how happy of a baby that Cameron is. I thought Jacob was a happy baby when he was little, but Cameron is even more so! He is always smiling and giggling at all that Jacob is doing and is always very happy to see us when he awakes in the mornings. He is also turning out to be much more active than Jacob was! The kids never stops moving when he is awake! So much different from when I was pregnant...He was always so mellow inside me and I was always really having to concentrate to get my daily kick counts.
Jacob really enjoyed all of the St. Patricks Day festivities that took place this week. On Wednesday, his Pre-K class had a little party to celebrate and he was so excited to tell of all that happened! They found gold coins that the leprechauns left, made their own traps to try and catch the leprechauns and got a feast full of green items for snack including: green eggs and ham, green jello, green rice crispy treats, broccoli, and green milk. He was a little surprised to find that his poo was even green the next day after all that food dye!
Both of my cameras are acting up so I don't have any new pictures to show today, but will try to add some soon!
