The last two weeks have flown by, and it is hard to believe that our little girl is already 2 weeks old. We are settling into our routine, and very happy to be a family of five. The boy’s are doing well too, and are already super protective of their little sister.I can’t wait to see what the next 2 weeks brings our way.
Today has been busy, busy, busy… I have been in the car most of the morning running errands, and I finally got to the grocery store after a two week hiatus. I really don’t like grocery shopping, but it had to be done, the house was literally out of everything… Well according to Thade anyway.
I also had to run to the vet. for flea treatment for the kitties, we stopped off at James office to say hi, then to the hospital for a weight check for Agnes, and then to the store. Both of the little ones are snoozing right now, they must be tired from all of the errands.
I’ve used the free time to get a few loads of laundry done, the house vacuumed, and all of the dishes got washed too. Now I’m going to enjoy my laptop for about 10 minutes, and then I’ve got to load up the kiddos and head to the school to pick up Thade. Better get back to it.
I’ll be taking the kiddos Christmas photos this year, and I’m practicing getting some decent pics of the kids. Here is what I’ve learned so far…
It is impossible to get 3 kids to look at the camera at the same time.
Sometimes you can get 1 out of 3 kids to look at the camera.
My kids are way happier goofing off in front of the camera!
me too…
I still have my camera, it is hiding in my diaper bag… I haven’t been able to get out and take photos for over a week, and I really miss it… All of the pretty leaves have turned to brown, and the sun is too bright to get decent pics during the daytime. Maybe I’ll get back to the kitchen and get some decent food pics…
It’s been a week after my c-section, and I’m really trying my best to take it easy, but it’s driving me crazy. I like to stay busy around the house, and this not being able to lift more than 10 pounds is getting tricky… I’m limiting my laundry washing to just 1 load a day, and usually in the evening the kiddos will let me fold at least that 1 load of laundry.
The MOPS moms have been really great to my family, and have supplied a ton of homemade meals and sweet treats too. I might never cook again. We are really appreciative of all of the meals, and I’ve enjoyed the break from the kitchen.
I’ve taken the kiddos out a few times to Walgreens and Dollar General too. It is still a bit of a mess getting everyone into the car, and into the store, but I’m sure we’ll get it all worked out sooner than later.
Mornings are hectic around here. There is always a mad dash to get everyone bundled up, and out the door, so Thade can be at school on time. By the time we are home though, Agnes is tired, so she chills out for most of the morning. Dylan and I catch up on dishes and cleaning while she naps. We are falling into a good routine, and if I could just get a little more sleep in there, I’d be all set.
