SNOW DAYS & SICK DAYS GALORE!

Well hello there friends! It's been awhile, I know. I'm becoming a huge slacker when it comes to getting my pictures and blogs together...but hopefully I'll still be able to keep you all updated with our crazy days. If you haven't noticed by my Instagram posts, we've been dealing with a lovely tummy virus from our littlest...but luckily he's feeling much better and back to his fiesty, hot-headed self. ;) But before we dive into that fun, what the heck else has been going on around here? Well let me enlighten you...

We went on a fun group date for Valentine's Day with our neighbors to the Maker's Mark Bourbon Lounge. It was great food, good company and let's just say the men probably had a little too much fun. Each couple was given a bottle of wine with their meal, and since I obviously did not partake in the drinking part, Dustin was kind enough to finish off the entire bottle for us. Wasn't that so thoughtful?! Needless to say, the second we got home, he passed out, shoes on and all. I couldn't help but laugh...he never drinks anymore and I don't think he realized how much the wine would affect him. I had fun picking on him the entire next day...I mean, that's what good wives are for! 


Gavin might be picky as all get out, but he sure can devour some whole wheat crackers!


I love that this boy is the sweetest, most snuggly almost 4-year-old ever. 


Gavin has learned how to get ahold of Toby...and loves every second of it.


I had a "Favorite Things" party 2 Fridays ago. SO.MUCH.FUN. The idea of this party is to have everyone bring 5 of their favorite thing. We then draw names and give away those 5 things. Then you get to take home 5 favorite things from other people! I ended up with wine, chocolate, fuzzy socks, lip gloss & nail stuff. Plus, who doesn't love getting together with your favorite girlfriends, eating & laughing together?! We decided we need to have one of these once a month.


Then the next day...it was snow galore! We ended up with about 7 inches of snow through the week, then a layer of ice and 2 more inches on top of that. Sledding? Yes, please! The neighbors all came over since we have the only hill in the neighborhood. Fun, friends & hot chocolate...once again, such a great time! 


I showed off my 12 week baby bump last Saturday before we took the boys to hibachi.


Speaking of hibachi...Gavin loved it! He was so entertained by the chef and devoured so much fried rice he probably gained 5 pounds. So add rice to the small list of things this baby will eat. ;)


And of course, who doesn't love a bare baby butt?!


We decided to let Christian stay up late and watch his new movie, Big Hero 6, and this was the result. Maybe 10 minutes? This he gets straight from his father, for sure!


And then came the fun part of our week...the stomach bug! Luckily no one else caught it, but it was a lot of dirty laundry, Pedialyte and cartoons for about 4 days. 


Oh, and cat naps on mommy. LOTS of those.


Here was our 2nd attempt to let Christian stay up and watch his movie. Passed our starfish style. This kid is a mess!


Towards the end of the stomach bug, I took Gavin to the doctor to make sure he checked out okay and he didn't have anything else going on (he had been pulling at his ears a lot). He checked out great and of course was hamming it up with the nurses. "What stomach bug, mom?"


While stuck at home, I did a little online shopping for the oldest who has literally grown out of every 3T thing he owns overnight. I ordered tons of shorts, jeans, pajamas & shoes...but these 3 sets of PJ's were my absolute favorite. Why am I such a sucker for cute pajamas?!


Yesterday, Christian told me the baby sounded like a boy...I guess we'll see in less than 2 weeks!


And what weekend is complete without a family trip to Target?! We went there to try and find a new booster seat for Christian. He's only 5 pounds away from the max limit on his current one, and plus I need it for Mr. Gavin since he has outgrown his infant carrier. These boys and their growing...next thing I know, we'll be shopping for college supplies! 


And that's been a very brief update as to what's been happening around here! Hope everyone has a happy Monday & thanks for reading!
