Me n' My Baby

Kyle and Hailey have been in school for a couple of weeks now so Monday, Wednesday and Friday I get to hang out with my Nugget. Which is GREAT!  I was really looking forward to just some alone time with my littlest guy.

 

On our first "real" day, just the 2 of us: I had some errands to run so we went to BJ's.  When we first got there I was thinking: WOW! This is so nice, just shopping with 1 baby.  I've never really had that or done that; Kyle and Hailey were so close in age.  This is so easy!

 

 

We played as we walked up and down the aisles. As we walked through the store I found that I actually really missed having Kyle and Hailey with me. I missed it being the 3 of us.

 

Then we passed a woman pushing a little girl and a little boy in the front part of her carriage, and I wanted to say: Oh I remember those days.  It was like yesterday I was pushing my two like that.

 

Then, I realized I would me "that lady" going on and on about her kids that aren't there discussing a pointless topic.

 

What is wrong with me?? WHY am I such a CATCH 22?!?!?!

 

I took a deep breath, and took bad nothing pictures of Cole in the store, and just tried a little harder to savor our time together.

 

SERIOUSLY...WHY do my babies have to grow up?

 

Also I am debating never going to BJ's again unless I have the 3 of them with me.  Sure it's a pain in the a55 to get through the store, but I feel complete and more secure when they are with me.  Even if they do drive me crazy!! =)

Pre-School Month 1 board =)

 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE

 that the pre-school takes pictures and writes down some of the things the kids say:

 

It's nice to get a peek into what Hailey is doing while she is away from me and in school =)

Bye Bye Bucket

 

I did it! I FINALLY did it!

 

 

I took Cole out of the bucket seat.

 

Backward facing of course. I know it's a tight fit...but he will be there until age 2....

 

 

because I am psychotic when it comes to the kids seats.

 

WHY DOES HE HAVE TO GROW UP?!?!?!?!?!

 

WHY DO THEY ALL HAVE TO GROW UP?!?!?!?!?!

Big E 2013

 We did it! This is the 6th year in a row we made it to the Big E!

 

Don't judge. We start early and end early =) After all we had 5 little ones with us this year.  A few libations makes the "I want! Can I have" a little easier to deal with =)

 



 

Though we go for us (the adults) we have to accommodate the little ones.

Auntie Kate took Kyle, Hailey and Little Ryan on their first big roller coaster ride.

 

Yes, I paid $10 for this blurry picture of them. =)

 

Due to rides, and just in general having little ones with us I feel like we missed a lot of the Big E; but we also saw things we haven't done or seen before...like the pig races.

 

The day flew by! When the parade started we couldn't believe it was 5pm.  Everyone was tired and it was time to go.  We only caught a glimpse of the parade.

The day was long and it was fun, and though I feel we missed a lot I am so glad we went.  Its just a fun day out.

 

See ya in 2014 Big E!
