Very Late!

With school and volleyball starting, kids, John working and football beginning, and life in general, I am way behind blogging.  At the end of August we celebrated John's birthday.  I felt bad because it was rushed and we didn't do a whole lot of celebrating.  Lilly and I made him blueberry cheesecake and Lilly serenaded him with her version of Happy Birthday!  We topped it off by putting his presents where they would be used and waiting for him to notice them.  He got a K-State rug for his bathroom and new headrest covers for his truck.  Pretty boring but he seemed to be pleased!

And, no Lilly's jammies don't match but she is in the stage of dressing herself.  I let it go when she is only going to bed!

Poor Baby

Someone took a little nap.  I guess the light was in her eyes!

A Weekend of Pinterest

I found some extra energy this weekend and tried out a few things I had pinned.  

In an attempt to get on the same page schedule wise with John, I made a calendar that only shows this week and next week.  I hit up Hobby Lobby and scored because everything I needed was on sale.  Overall, I think this should work well, and actually looks nice considering I made it.  

Up next was a shower cleaner I had seen pinned many times over the past few days.  http://pinterest.com/pin/189151253070694861/

It only called for vinegar and dawn dish soap.  It worked really well but smelled like straight up ASS!  John commented that it was stinking the soap scum off the walls.  Once the air cleared and I could breath again, I rinsed it off and found a clean shower. 

Last task was John's birthday cheesecake.  I have made this one before and it is always a hit. http://pinterest.com/pin/189151253069735804/

Actually making three out of my hundred or so pins is a nice start!

Baby Naps

Same baby? Nope!

I Need a Packmule

This is the pile that leaves the house with me every morning....plus two kids.  How can we possible need that much stuff when we are only gone 10 hours!?!?
*School bag
*Lunch bag
*Boob milk pump
*Purse
*Backpack of volleyball clothes
*Diaper bag to daycare
*The very important coffee cup..... some days nicely paired with a large Sonic drink (from morning happy hour!).

It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to unpack and repack the majority of the stuff every night.  By the time I wash bottles from the day, refill bottles with the milk I have pumped, wash more bottles,  pack a lunch, unpack and repack my volleyball bag, and unpack and repack the diaper bag I am out of energy!

3 Months!

Big Lucy is three months old already!

Right now Lucy:

*Eats every three hours during the day and sleeps 9+ hours at night.  We get her up long enough to put her the carseat to go to daycare and she goes back to sleep and eats once she is there.

*Weighs 13 lbs 9 ounces!  Yeah, she is a bit of a tank, but I honestly don't think she looks like she is that big.

*Is around 23.5 inches long.

*Has become quite vocal and giggles a lot!  Best noise ever.  I keep telling her she better start talking now or she will never get a word in with Lilly around.

*Loves being talked to, taking a bath and playing on her playmat!
