A Day at the Park

Last weekend Grace's best friend Jillian spent the night and the next morning we took all of them to the park. Maxton of course slept through the whole thing, but he was very cute in his fishing hat. He is just starting to smile and react to my voice, I love it. Anyway, the girls were having a great time. It was a beautiful day, sunny and warm. And then Grace spotted a bee. You would have thought there was a swarm of killer bees that were chasing her. She freaked out and refused to leave my side the rest of the time. I just don't know where she gets her irrational fears (ha ha). Its a mystery. Since then she has gotten a little better. She will at least go outside.

This is our last week off before I go back to work:( I am excited to go back and see all the teachers and families but I have really enjoyed being home. We will see how it goes.

What a Stud!!

He is loving his new bath tub!! My son seems to have his days and nights confused a little! Last night I was up with him until 2:30 or so and then he woke up and 3:30 to eat. Thank goodness for my husband because he got up and feed him. Then Max woke up at 6:00 and stayed up. Grace is back at school a couple of days a week and she is having a hard time adjusting but she will get back into the swing of things. Tubs has a doctors appointment tomorrow so we will see how much he weights and we are going to sign up Grace for swim lessons. Busy Busy!

Happy Easter

Well we celebrated Easter by having dinner with our families on Friday and Saturday. Grace was still feeling a little under the weather but her belly seems to be pretty much back to normal now. The Easter Bunny was very good to Grace and Maxton. After the egg hunt we had so many eggs that Grace has been making egg salad for the past 2 days straight. With my maternity leave almost over I look forward to some adult contact. I will be returning to work on May 7th after a fun filled weekend in Toledo for Cinco D Mayo. For those of you who don't know that is the day that Mike and I met. We are going to go out with friends and the kids will be with Grammy and Grampy Mike for the night!! Should be fun!

Double Trouble

I was told that 2 was a lot different than 1 and they were right! It is quite the challenge to get Max on a schedule and to keep Grace on one. I thought that I would be at home and be able to get all the laundry, house work, shopping and cooking done and still have time to spend with the kids. This has not been the case. I am more busy at home trying to keep up than I was when I was working a 50 hour work week. Don't get me wrong I love being home with the kids and spending time with them but I do miss adult contact. Although Grace is pretty close to an adult. Yesterday I would not give her dessert because she did not eat her dinner she looked at me and said "Mommy do you see my face?" She was giving me a dirty look. Then she said " Mommy do you see my foot?" She was tapping her foot at me. Where does she get this stuff?!?! Well the laundry is calling!
