Up close and personal~ Jenna 5 months old
What's this I found mom? Ohhh those belong to me!?
There is another half I didn't know about?
I just can't smile enough!
I love my life in the cute lane...
Ethan and Jenna kicking it in the jungle...
What is going on here? Scott is making Ethan lay the sod, well with a little help:)
Backyardigans
On one side you see the grass and the other the dirt, it's a before and after shot!
Ethan fluffing the bush - it has to be just right...
You can't really see it but so begins the fascination with a little worm....
Playing with the worm "snake"...
In Ethan's own words.. "Worm is broken, fix it mommy?"
He has each end of the poor thing in each hand.... if only mommy had enough superpowers to fix the broken worm.
Jenna - a serious avid reader of baby books.
Last Monday the week started off pretty good. I was on my A game and actually obliged Scott to another hair cut - it happens every now and then that I give in and do it rather than be lazy and tell him to go somewhere they are certain to cut it too short. I got the Scissors out and set up in front of the TV - this is a little insight into a bit of our marriage... Scott was watching a WWII show and I don't think I could have done a good job cutting his hair to a very fashion lacking show - it was very fortunate that my sister informed me that the new season of the Bachelorette was on... which I insisted we watch while I cut his hair - 25 guys stepping out of a limo was definitley going to give me a lot of haircuts to gain inspiration from right? Well not really - but Scott was nice enough to let me do that while asking I gouge his eyes out with the scissors. Let's just say sometimes out taste in TV clashes, but if you want it your way get the scissors out.
Scott left Tuesday and did not get back until Saturday morning. So of course after leaving the Boston oven heated up to 80+ degrees and I sucked up and prayed for no back injuries and hauled 2 AC units up tot he kids rooms - I can handle the heat but you know they are hot when they need several refills at night.
We did 2 days at the park and one of those days we spent 3 hours basking in the sun and playing hard. Ethan made a new girl friend too, they played together for at least an hour and after we left I asked him if he had fun playing with the little girl and his reply was...
"Uh huh, she's cute!"
I had to laugh, this boy is going to be a chick magnet, he himself is just adorable and I don't think the ladies are going to be able to resist.
After playing super hard that day - Ethan went to bed with such ease - which is nice when the bedtime routine falls all on me alone - He crawled in after saying his prayers and said he was going to "fix my tired"...
Thursday night I was desperate to get out and paid a babysitter to listen for my kids while I went and enjoyed a Stampin' Up craft night, which was so much fun! Nice to get out! By Friday I was pretty exhausted and had just about had it. But I managed to keep it together and attempt letting Ethan help make some cookies. He is so funny, he hates the noise the mixer makes and would run for the hills when it turned on! I hope he gets over some fears before Disney World in Sept. Changing Ethan's diaper has become a bit of a wrestling match at times and I was about to lose it when I finally got him up to pull his pants on, he gave me the biggest hug and a big kiss on the cheek and said "i love you mommy".... I melted. Kids can just make you nut one minute and then just be the best friend you have.
Saturday Scott finally arrived back from the SF Bay area and took Ethan to Swim class and then they worked on the backyard as seen above. It was a jam packed week of lots of things. Keeping busy makes time fly! Jenna is showing more and more personality everyday and is just so fun to watch and play with.
That is all I got as I am so tired but have to prepare some first aid info for Saturdays Emergency Preparedness fair!
Tee Tee for now - Ta ta for then!
