Feeding Frenzy

Last night dinner time looked a bit different. We moved E to a booster seat - bye bye high chair - and R was trying super hard to manage the bottle on her own which she did successfully for all of 2.5 seconds. In two months R will be in the high chair!!! Time where are you going?

Afternoon Adventures

1. Dress up and subsequent running around in a diaper fun

2. Almost rolling over to see big sis in costume

3. Not putting away toys and losing them for a week - I doubt she will even care!

4. First time tickling and laughing response - which made my day!

5. Discovering 4 splinters and traumatizing experience for E, Papa and Mama trying to get them out!

I think you can figure out who is who in the first four. No pics again! Bad mama!!!!

Crazy Week Ahead!

Car is loaded and its not even 7... This week is going to be crazy but yesterday made up for the insanity. I went running (3 miles) for the first time in a year (and I am paying the price now). We loaded everyone up and drove 4 miles down the road and hopped in the pool for the first time of the season (yes the car was insanely packed up and yes we forgot the camera : (

Here's to summer without a vacation though I am pretty much going to set up camp at the pool on Saturday mornings which will require me to get part of the house cleaned Friday night but it will be worth it

Good idea... Bad idea

1. Good idea - go to NC farmers market
Bad idea - go during E and R's nap times and pay the price by listening to R scream for 30 min in the car

2. Good idea - give E oj
Bad idea - give her so much juice that she super soaks through her diaper, pjs, car seat cover, and onto the car seat protector

Lessons learned...
1. It's my fault the girls missed nap... Won't do that again!

2. Order another Eddie Bauer seat protector

3. My mom needs to open her own restaurant... I need to take some time and learn how to cook and bake!

Images from the afternoon

And this does not include the 2 loads that have been put away or the 4 loads left to do...

My morning on pics...

R is sleeping and E is doing her normal thing...

Nightly Musings...

1. Ordination Announcements - soon to be check

2. Thank you notes from Rs baptism and Es bday - not check but making progress

3. E loves her Abby-pail (Abigail) book she got from her friend E for her bday. Check them out at Hallmark - the interactive story buddy. It has replaced Big Red Barn as the nightly staple at story time.

4. Call me crazy but I am seriously considering giving cloth diapers a whirl. Maybe not so much with E but def with R. I am still learning but just dropped another $40 on diapers yesterday for her and I am just generally annoyed with diapers. Maybe because E is fighting the potty and I am channeling my frustration away from her and instead on all diapers? I don't know... Someone convince me - cloth or disposable!!!
