Easter weekend

We had such a wonderful Easter weekend, and I hope that you all did too!  Our weather wasn’t the greatest…kinda gloomy and blah, but we made the best of it.  Weezie  (our kids caretaker) was off Friday, so Mikey took the day off to keep the kids.   After running a few errands he picked up lunch and I met him at a park for a picnic and to let the kids play for a bit before nap time.  I think they enjoyed itJ  We had no plans Friday night and did our usual week night routine…but Mikey and I did stay up later than a normal “weeknight” and watched The Big Short,  I give it an A.  They took a very dry/boring topic and made it interesting and funny…of course it isn’t funny what happened due to the complexities of mortgage banking…but the movie ended up being pretty funny.  

We ran a few errands Saturday morning and got some new plants and flowers for the house and played with the kids.  After naps, we had a few friends over for a cook out, and all the kids had a blast.  We kept things pretty tame and everyone was gone by 11 since we all had big mornings the next day with Easter!

The Easter bunny paid us a visit; of course the boys are clueless and were just excited about their new chairs/bubble machine and CHOCOLATE!  Collins was equally as excited, but is starting to understand why we celebrate Easter.  Her preschool did a wonderful job teaching them and they made the cutest “resurrection eggs” which is a good way to tie in the REAL meaning of Easter and the Easter egg.  We did church and lunch with my parents and Mikey’s mom…we ended up going to Bonefish because my mom didn’t feel like cooking and having leftovers, I don’t blame her!  It started raining after we finished lunch and didn’t stop.  We spent the rest of the day being lazy…naps, jammies, and cuddles.  It was a good way to end the weekend;-)

    I love the outfits Thomas and Graham have on for Easter. I hope you don't mind my asking, but where did you buy them? I'm searching everything for baby & toddler boy clothes for my nephew that are old-fashioned looking (I hate trendy looking baby clothes) but I'm having a hard time finding things that I like.

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
