Growing More Every Day: So busy!

How is it that I can't remember Friday...at all!?! Maybe because we've been on the go for so many days now that those memories have taken over. Saturday we went to Wes Blish's birthday party. He's a little boy from the playgroup. He turned 3. That was a rough day. It started out with Christian being a little twerp (a nicer description than how he was actually behaving) and me threatening to not even go to the party. Despite his behavior, we made it to the party...only to have Christian cry when we got there because he was being shy and didn't want to go see the other boys. These are the same boys that we've seen every Wednesday for the last 6 or 7 months in a row, and also the same boys that he sees in MOPS every other Thursday. Anyway, I finally got him to come and sit by me for a couple of minutes and miraculously, everything turned around. He got up, went and played with the other boys, and even started listening to me when I told him something. The best part of the whole party was when Christian drove Brooklyn around in the litele Power Wheels Jeep. They were so cute, I can't even begin to explain...I'll just have to put the pictures on when I get them! Poor Brooklyn though, her little legs were about 2 inches short to reach the floor of the Jeep so every time Christian took off, she rocked backward and when Christian backed up, as soon as his foot hit the pedal, she rocked forward! It was a little more dramatic than rocking, but she wasn't hurt.

We also got a new couch on Saturday too! I love it, but we have to wait for it to come in since we didn't want the pea green floor model! It's the regular size of a couch, but the side where the third seat is is actually a chaise lounge. It's going to be great! We also got Christian a dresser that has a storage cabinet up top...which can later be turned into a media cabinet so we can put a TV and things up in there. I'm so excited for it!

Sunday we woke up and went to church with Jonell (my neighbor). She just found out that she's pregnant too, but only about 4 weeks along, if that. I'm so excited for her and that I'm going to get to play with a new baby! Anyway, I dropped the kids off at the nursery...and I'm happy to report that Brooklyn didn't cry the whole time she was there. I didn't spend 30 minutes or anything in there like I had intended to, but did spend about 5 or 10 minutes in there with her. We played with some toys and then I kissed her and told her I would be back in a little while. She did cry, but they laid her down and she took a nap! Hooray!

That evening we went to a baby shower for a guy on the softball team's wife. It was so fun and the fact that I got to bring the kids was even better! We played the melted candy bar in the diaper game, which was totally fun. There was a lady there that couldn't get past the look of it to actually smell and figure out what one it was. She made some great faces though and made everyone laugh just watching her.

We didn't do anything yesterday except for housework and mowing the lawn. Christian was cute walking along beside me with his little mower...until he got bored with it and went to play with Brooklyn in the back of my truck. It was a fun day though and very productive!
