weekend rewind


We had a busy, but productive weekend.  We kept my niece this weekend…so we had four kids for the weekend:-) Of course, she’s 8 and is super helpful so it was easy peasy!  We knocked out several random house projects and I finally tackled organizing a bunch of the kids’ old clothes and stuff.  Boring, but stuff that needs to be done!

We started our weekend off Friday afternoon with an ice cream date.  My boys are OBSESSED with ice cream.  As in, beg for it and cry when it’s gone.  My niece had her spring fling at school Friday nightso we took her to that with our kids…there wasn’t much for the boys to do but the girls enjoyed themselves.  After spring fling, we met some friends for dinner.  6 kids at a restaurant isn’t exactly relaxing, but at least it’s an opportunity to hang out with friends too!  And the kids had a blast.

 Most of the day Saturday was spent playing and doing house chores.  I was on a mission this weekend.  We did break Saturday afternoon and headed to the baseball game, which was pretty much an epic fail.  We had standing room only tickets, and that just wasn’t the key taking the boys.  Nowhere to contain them….  Thank goodness there’s a playground!  We ate dinner at home Saturday night and were all in bed early! 

On Sunday, Collins’ preschool was singing at church, at the 9 am service!  That was a bit of a challenge getting 6 people ready and out the door by 8:15.  My sweet girl did so good and was so excited to have big cousin Belle there to watch!  The rest of the day was (again) spent organizing, de-cluttering and watching the masters!

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...

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...

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...
