Happy Sunday! I hope everyone had a great weekend...this mom definitely did! I have an amazing husband who happily gave me the weekend off. One of my girlfriends was in town from Ohio and another is moving to Texas in a month, so a girls weekend was in order! It was so nice to escape the 'mom duties' for a couple days, but today is back to dirty diapers, snotty noses, belly laughs & constant noise...AKA life with boys!
This week Dustin's dad & family came in from North Carolina, but unfortunately Gavin caught a horrible cold, so him and I weren't able to visit a lot. Dustin and Christian luckily squeezed in lots of visits though! And I'm not sure how we managed it, but we somehow got all the cousins in on one picture! Amazing!
For lunch on Tuesday, I asked Christian what he would like. He very matter-of-factly stated he would like a happy meal. I try to limit his fast food intake (aside from Chick-fil-a...we're addicts!), so I tried to accommodate his request of a happy meal in my own way.
His reaction? "Mommy, I love this happy meal!"
Fist bump for mom.
On Wednesday, we got our Disney Magic Bands in the mail. I am SO beyond excited for this trip (as if I haven't said that enough)! I know it will probably be crazy stressful with a 1-year-old tagging along, but I'm prepared for the crazy & SO ready to surprise Christian.
It was also a super nice day out, so I grabbed a mommy friend and we headed to the zoo. The polar bears are always my favorite, and he didn't disappoint again this time around!
We finished off the beautiful day with a trip to Polly's Freeze....my favorite summer food & ice cream joint!
Unfortunately, Gavin woke up Thursday morning really sick thanks to big brother's preschool germs (again), so it's been a constant schedule of humidifiers, nasal sprays & baby cough medicine. Luckily no fevers this time around, just a bad cold.
I've been craving these 3 things a LOT. I finally found a tomato that actually tastes almost as good as a home grown tomato, and I pretty much eat 1-2 every day.
One grumpster and one cheeser...both equally adorable.
And last but not least, happy 17 weeks baby bump! There happened to be a full length mirror at the baby shower I was at this weekend...hello, bumpie oppurtunity! ;)
Baby shower fun followed by a very eventful hibachi dinner with the girls...luckily we had amazing company and laughs, because service, food & other people were not so fun! But it made for a good story and definitely kept things interesting. :)
And that wraps up our past week. This week, I'm looking forward to coloring Easter eggs, decorating for Easter festivities, doing last minute Disney planning and seeing the boys do Easter egg hunts. However, it's also a very hard week for our family, as it's my brother who passed away's birthday and another holiday without him. He would have been 26 this year, and it doesn't matter how many years have passed since the accident, events like this don't get any easier. I miss so much about him, but mostly I miss what could have been. I wonder all the time what kind of uncle he would have been to the boys, and I know they would have absolutely adored him.
So happy 26th birthday in heaven, Cory Michael. You are missed every.single.day.
