This Weekend

This weekend was pretty darn fantastic!

We all felt better, and thank goodness for that. I think I missed an entire month due to sickness.

We decorated the house for Halloween! We also stocked up on Halloween candy.

We visited our gardening buddy at the hospital, he is doing well and recovering from surgery. We also hit a few yard sales on the way home. I came back with a big bag of yarn for $5, and seven dessert plates for fifty cents.

I’ve been working on teacher gifts for Christmas. I’m making a bunch of scarves for the kids to give their teachers. They are perfect to crochet during a Football game.

We took lots of naps too.

The best part… We got to meet our beautiful baby nieces. My Sister (in law) Jill and her fiancee, and my mother in law visited on Saturday. They brought their darling little girls.

It was so fun having little ones in the house again. Lots of hugs, cuddles, feedings, and tiny toes. Seriously, I miss babies like crazy, so I am glad that these little darlings are in my life.

The girls are now one month old, and absolutely precious. I love those girls with all of my heart.

I have to say, it is pretty awesome being an Aunt!

One Left To Go

Agnes has been teething for 14 months, yes you read that right 14 months. Thankfully she has just one tooth left to go. I hope it comes in soon, I’m in need of a night of restful sleep.

Clothes Yes, Cups NO!

Agnes just turned 18 months, and she loves to go through her closet and pick out her clothes. She does a pretty good job too.

She also has to dig through her socks to find the perfect pair, and yes, she has to match the shoes too. Sometimes she’ll pick out a hat to go with the outfit too. She is becoming quite a little fashionista.

I’m excited to see her declaring her independence, but we’ve hit a snag… She refuses to drink from a sippy cup. I’ve taken her shopping twice to pick out her own favorite cups, and she seems happy with them while they are in the store. As soon as it is time for a meal, she despises them. She’ll throw them, scream at them, and even utter the phrase “mean mom”, yes mean mom says it’s time to ditch the bottle my dear.

The boys were really easy to switch to a cup. Dylan was tough to give up his sippy cup though, but Agnes just down-right refuses. So if you have any tips to share, please do, this mommy is getting frustrated.

Let’s Go For A Walk

One of my latest goals is to get myself back into some decent form of shape, so I’m walking as much as I can. We have a great walking track in our town, and the little kids are happy to go along for a stroll too.

We walked last Thursday, and it was chilly, and it looked like it could rain at any second. I let Dylan carry his umbrella around the track, he was so happy.
