...because I am falling behind in every area of my daily life. Outside of forgetting to update the blog daily, I'm also behind on laundry, grocery shopping, bills, and Skylar's homework. Sigh. I'm so ready for Spring Break to be over. Don't get me wrong. I love spending time with my babies but being stuck inside with them is pretty insane. I'm pretty much insane. We did manage to slip out for a bit both yesterday and today but not for long. I miss bootcamp. They miss school. We are all ready to have a normal schedule back again.
Thursday we spent most of the day at home so I could
try and get caught up on a few things around the house and to also keep Eva out of the nasty pollen. And it really is nasty. Everything has a yucky yellowish-hue and it's murder on all of us. But since I had no way of predicting that Eva would be sick OR that the pollen would be so bad, I booked a session weeks ago for them to have some Easter pics done. Matthew tried very hard to convince me to cancel but I'm so glad I didn't because they truly looked amazing. And I know that in 20 years I'll look at these pics with him and say "remember when." This was also by far the easiest photo session I've ever done and we were in and out of there in a jiffy. Matthew came along just in case it was mayhem which it usually is and even he commented on how easy it all seemed but then finished up with "well, before we get too excited let's wait and see the finished product." And I'm happy to report that the sneak we got today is purrrrrrfect!
They're pretty darn cute, right?! I can't keep staring at this pic and being just completely amazed that these are
MY babies!! God has blessed me! The photographer was absolutely in love with Bryce (can you blame her) and just kept commenting on how cute he is and how well behaved he is. Today was a good day and each of my babies cooperated - SUCCESS!
We also celebrated our sweet Eva-girls 4 month birthday. Time flies. I don't have any of her stats yet since her appointment isn't until next week but I'm fairly certain she's going to be at the top of the chart. She's our chubba and we love all of her little rolls! She's "talking" a lot more and also started giggling. She rolls around just about everywhere these days. If I put her on her tummy mat and walk away by the time I come back she's 6 feet away from it, working herself into a frenzy because she's mad. She still has no interest in her bumbo so we haven't been able to practice sitting other then sitting in our laps. She's definitely teething and trying to bite down on anything so watch out! She loves her bubba and sissy but you can tell she still has a soft spot for Skylar. She's finally become more comfortable allowing other people (such as Nana or Aunt Kelli) to hold her which is such a relief. No luck on the bottles or pacifiers yet which is still prosing a problem since I'm still scheduled to be in a wedding in a couple of weeks. Praying all goes well. Other then that, she's doing great!
Friday was another beautiful pollen-y day but I decided again to head out a bit so the kids would stop torturing each other. Eva has an excersaucer that's been passed down from her siblings but we decided (or I decided) to try a jumparoo with her instead. So Aunt Kelli came over with the girls and we headed out. Praise God for Aunt Kelli because most of my shopping trips are spent separating fights, chasing kids down the aisle, putting back all miscellaneous items that have somehow ended up in our cart, and then finally making it to the register - 3 hours later with a roll of toilet paper. But today was a real treat. Today Aunt Kelli took the kids to the little cafe area inside of Target and bought them all lunch and I got to shop kid-free. Well, almost. Eva was with me but she was snooze-cruised so it was basically kid-free and it was HEAVEN. I stocked up on Easter stuff (why is it in March this year?!!) and also bought our sweet girl her new jumparoo. Aunt Kelli and Bree-Bree put it together and she really seems to love it. Especially the little sun that sits there, smiling at her. Our kiddos had another fun day playing outside and now this mama is beat. Thankfully Skylar gets to spend the night with Nana and we can have a little break. Great weekend ahead!
