Uh-Oh!

One of Agnes’s favorite games is to run in another room, do something destructive, and then run to mommy saying “uh-oh”. She also attempts to look cute and innocent, and in no way destructive, or responsible for the giant mess she made.

I’m not buying it kiddo, I know it was you…

Yep, it’s been a day full of cleaning, and re-cleaning thanks to a feisty toddler.

A Mini Party for the Birthday Boy

Yesterday was Dylan’s third birthday, and we are having a big party with the family for him on Sunday. There is a lot to do today and tomorrow too, and we even have a birthday party to go to this afternoon.

To kick off the birthday weekend, we had a little party for Dylan at home. Both of the boys were so excited. Dylan couldn’t wait to open presents, and Thade couldn’t wait to see what Dylan got.

Dylan giggled and screamed as each present was unwrapped.

I can’t imagine just how crazy the boys will be tomorrow.

The Little Miss was a little worried about all of the noise.

We celebrated with Vanilla Cupcakes and Pancakes for dinner. It was a fun afternoon with the family. Now time to get back to it, there is a lot to be done before tomorrow gets here.

We Made It Through The First Week

The last week has flown by, and we are settling into a new routine around our house. Thade is staying busy at school, and James is back to work, and missing his kiddos. I’m keeping up around the house with the little ones. Agnes is doing well, and sleeping a ton. It makes me a little nervous, the boy’s never slept, so it is really strange to have a newborn that loves to sleep. Dylan has taken on the role of big brother, and he is really enjoying being a big kid, and not the baby anymore.

I’ve set a goal to nurse Agnes for at least 6 months, but this time around it isn’t going as well as I hoped. She has a check-up later this week, so I’ll hopefully get some good advice from our family Doctor. The boy’s seemed to eat around the clock, but not little Agnes… I’ve become one worried Mommy this week.

I’ve been trying to take it easy around the house, but I’m feeling pretty good. I’ve got a post-op check-up today, so we’ll see what the Doctor says. I hope that it goes well, and the kiddos behave too. It is going to be a long day…

Nothing’s Better than a New Umbrella

017

Thanks to all the rain, and early morning school drop-offs, I needed to get a few umbrellas for the boys. Thade asked for one that had Spider Man on it, and Dylan well you’ve probably guessed wanted one with Spongebob.

Dylan was more than happy to see the rainy weather stick around for a bit. He had a blast playing outside with his new umbrella.
