gone fishing

We are now on day 2 of the annual boys fishing trip, and we are soooo loving this weather! It does my heart good to look out the window and see sunshine, and to be able to open the window, and to put the boys in shorts and GO OUTSIDE! Walks are a little different this year. Wayne is too big for the stroller, so now he is free as a bird, and learning to stay close, on the sidewalk, and BE SAFE! It's a common theme around here. Speaking of getting them dressed... I've recently realized that each day I wake up in the mood for a certain color. I grab clothes for them, and 9 times out of 10 they coordinate. It's a red day, a blue day, a black day, or a yellow day! And, funny enough.... my shirt usually matches them too! I am so strange. I just love seeing little Weston in shorts and a tank top. His skin is still baby soft, but it's also scratched and bruised like any good toddler boys' would be! He has really been making his opinion and wants known these days, which is kind of strange and fun all at the same time. Who knew he knew what he wanted? Gone are the "go along with whatever mom does" days. I think he is such a big boy, and I know that come July, he will seem even bigger!

I've been using the weekend to get things done around here. Both boys were in bed by 7 last night, and by 9 I had completed an insane amount of chores around the house, including 7 loads of laundry. It's amazing how fast laundry goes without the 1 year old attacking my piles! I will say that as my stomach grows, it's getting a little lopsided to carry the laundry basket... we've switched to the side hip hold from here on out! What else... we got the shelf in the laundry room hung just before Tyler left, and now I am working on finishing up the labels for the baskets/jars on the shelf. Talk about some cricut fun! Wayne's been practicing riding his new bike, flowers are starting to bloom... the garden is ready to be planted, all my pots are full and flowing with annuals, herbs are growing, it's starting to feel like summer around here!

I can't believe there are only 8 or so more weeks to go until baby #3 arrives. That times is going to fly by, if the past 8 weeks are any indication. I've picked up a few new things, mostly replacements for things the first two animals have trashed, as well as unisex summer things like short sleeved onesies. I'm not sure about this summer baby thing... I'm used to bundling baby boys in blankets and heavy covers in the middle of winter!

Okay folks, time to get back to the kiddos. Snack time is over, we already had craft time, Weston is up from his nap (a belated mother's day gift to me!) and lunch is still an hour away (even though Wayne is hungry now... he's always hungry. He ate waffles, sausage, and jello for breakfast, and had a coronary when I cut him off... seriously!) Toodles!
