Wow! So busy busy busy holiday season! I feel like we have barely been home lately. Yet somehow the place is a complete wreck! The kids have managed to knock over the tree a couple times. Luckily nothing is breakable on it. The time we are home the kids manage to scatter all their toys about and then there is a severe lack of time to pick them up. Finally. we are to the point that the next couple days can be spent here at home. Hoping to get in some serious cleaning time! Not to mention, Finn is acting completely exhausted. So looking forward to a quiet cleaning day tomorrow for sure.
This past weekend included an incredibly fun Mom's Night Out with some friends of mine. We spent part of the night at one friends house making s'mores completely for ouselves(so good when there isnt any children asking for a bite). After a while we decided to get some fun action in and headed to a nearby Main Event for some laser tag. This was my first time playing and I have to say I wouldnt hesitate to do it again! Total blast. We ended the night up way too late at IHOP. The next night was date night for Stephen and I. We left the kids playing with friends and headed to a movie. We went to Studio Movie Grill. I had Groupons so we got in nice and cheap and ordere some dinner with our movie. We chose to see Wreck It Ralph. I have to say the movie was excellent. We both loved it. Im already anticipating the DVD release so we can watch it with the kids. I believe Finns Christmas gifts will include some toys from said movie. Just way too cute movie. If you have the chance absolutely see it! Sunday morning we had some lounge time around the house. Towards the afternoon we all dressed up nice and headed to meet a friend. We attended the Festival of Carols at their church. It was a beautiful event. Complete with orchestra and choral performances. Just a very busy weekend!
During the week, I have acquired a part time job. I have been caring for a one year old little boy a few times a week. So that always takes up the majority of our day when I take him. It's nice to have the little extra income and my kids enjoy playing with him. He walks so they all spend time chasing each other around. Hoping he will be inspiration for Lorelai to finally take some steps! The girl is being so incredibly stubborn about the whole thing. She can stand up independently for a long period of time. Thats all she'll do though. Just stand there and grin at you. Then after a bit, she just sits back down and goes about her business. Complete stubborness!
Im almost done Christmas shopping. Our next payday, Ill be able to quickly knock out the rest. Just waiting patiently for that. I bought netting so that I can make the patio nice and fun for them. We live on the 2nd floor and both kids can fit through the bars on the railing around our patio. So I bought some netting at home depot to fix the problem. Im hoping to make a nice fun little space for them out there. Both love being outside and I would love to give them more oppurtunity during the day to be out there. Now I have to find something to hang my husbands bike with. It currently takes up the majority of the space out there. It needs a new out of the way home.
Thats about the rundown of our life right now. Not much particularly interesting but its very busy! Lorelai turns 1 this week! Im a bit emotional about that. I cant believe Ive losing my babies already! Its been a crazy couple of years of diapers, formula and crazy sleep habits. Its all starting to straighten out though. I have a potty training 2 year old. We are done with the formula and both sleep all night. Im just glad both are willing to still cuddle or I would be taking this a lot harder! Hoping there will be more posts later in the week! I know we are taking family holiday pictures this week, so I should at least be able to post some of those early next week! Thats the great thing about kids. Stick them in front of a camera and bam, you got Christmas gifts!
Alright, well time to change the laundry over!
