Busy Busy Saturday

So if you read our weekly post, you know that Friday was busy…well Saturday was just as busy and I was sick with a cold while doing it. Ugh to being sick.

Our first night away from home went pretty well. Max slept until 3:30am and then went right back to sleep after eating. Bella got up around 4am and I brought her in bed with me, so I slept with both kids. Ok they slept and I just rested. Then I totally miss read the clock and when Max got up at 6:50, I thought it was only 5:50am and tired to make him go back to sleep..naturally he thought I was crazy. So we got up and let Bella sleep until 8am.

I got max ready and then he and I went to Court’s house. Max got to meet Mary, Court’s mom, and court got to see max again. I think she has seen him every month since he’s been born. It was a nice but short visit. I hope to get over there again with Bella next time.

After there I ran to get my mom and Bella, who was now dressed. Together we went to Noah’s baptism. It was nice to see my friends, but I didn’t stay long and tried to avoid people due to my wonderful cold. GRR.

Our next stop was to get Bella’s hair cut. I was worried how she would do, but she did great. she acted like a pro! We then went on to my sister’s for lunch and to celebrate my mom’s birthday. it was great to see the family. Bella had a blast with her cousins. Max slept almost the whole time. Tracey, mom , Max and I went to cosco (so in love btw) leaving Bella to hang out with Sara, elly and Drew.  Then it was time to say goodbye and head back home. Sad smile

Weekly update Feb 6th-Feb 10th

  Monday: Today I finally got caught up on the laundry. I’m also making some progress in the house. I missed the kids naptimes, as I ran to the grocery store, pharmacy, local kid’s store and to get my hair cut. OH it feels so great to not have the long hair anymore. It was my first time with a new hairdresser since I was 16. This one is a classmate of Josh’s and she was great!!! Maybe I’ll get my hair cut more often. LOL

Just before bed time..he finally nap and was happy when he got up

Wednesday: After a very crummy tuesday, things turned around. Max woke up at 7am ate and went back down for a nap. Bella was in a good mood and listen to what I told her to do. We went to the library where we spend about 2 hours there. I was able to get some stuff done on the internet and bella got to play computer games. Max slept the whole time. We came home to lunch and more naps. Then we all went  out to the barn for a bit. I got some cleaning done and all and all it was a great day!

Max enjoyed Tummy time. Love the froggy butt. This was another hand me down from Bella

Thursday While Bella was at school today I got more cleaning done. Josh went to pick up a hamburger order and then came home and hung out with max. I went to pick up Bella from school and we stopped at Pamida to get some Valentines. Then home again where both of my children slept for 2 hours!! Max actually slept for 4 hours. I think we might in a growth spurt. All he wants to do is eat and sleep.

Friday was a very busy day. We woke up to hearing about the snow everyone else was getting. By the time we got the car all loaded up it was flurrles by us. We headed towards the snow.. silly us, but it was for good reason.  We first stopped to get Max and Bellas pictures done. Diane joined us too! THe kids did great with the pictures, so as a treat we went to Mc dee’s. Once the sun was out, I headed on my way to lake mills. Next stop was at Tori’s. It was great to get to see her and Dylan. Next stop was my mom’s for supper. then it was off to see our friends E and M. We haven’t seen them in a while and Bella was so excited.

End of Dec or Beginning of March ?!?!?!?

mommymaxbella

So our winter so far has been very mild. I was really worried when we got dumped on beginning of November that it was going to be a very snow holiday season. It’s the only thing i don’t like about Christmas in Wisconsin, is the possibility of being snowed in somewhere. Anyhow we got a brief dusting of snow the weekend before christmas and then nothing else, so we had a greenish brown holiday. Sad to not have it white, but nice to be able to travel without any problems.

After the holidays though it warmed up.  It was sunny, 40 something  and all over a great day, so I was able to take Max outside. He wasn’t so sure about it, but in the end, he fell asleep until i brought him in the house. I”m hoping to have another outdoor lover, but i’m not so sure since he isn’t able to go out as much as we took Bella out as a baby.  I personally enjoyed it since I hate being stuck in the house. It’s also nice to be outside with the dogs, the cows and the cats.

I really do miss being out where all the action is on the farm.  Bella got to show me the calves and the cows. IT’s so cute that she can name most of them. She knows which ones are the dry cows, switch cows and milking cows. She can tell you if one calf has been sick or naughty. I’m so glad that she is really enjoying farming and i hope she continues with her love of animals.

But anyhow.. we enjoyed the wonderful day until the sun set too far and the wind picked back up.
