5 Happy Things: Baby Wedgies

It seems as though I don't have very much to write about these days so I'll just focus on 5 happy things:

1) Baby wedgies! LOL

2) This view and these snuggles NEVER get old.
His long(ish) fuzzy hair is one of my favorite things right now.

3) Peas in a pod from our garden.
and seeing the boys eating them.

4) This toothy grin.  He's working on his first top tooth now.

and 5) for your listening pleasure:

Watching Big Kids

This little boy is always watching and taking notes.

Not too much to report today...  We ran some errands, took a huge box to the Good Will (always feels wonderful!) and taught some dance.  It's been pretty rainy here lately and there's more in the forecast.  We have strawberry picking plans later this week so we'll see if the rain holds off for us.  I've been daydreaming about that strawberry pie that I made last year and am looking forward to making on again!

Bitter Sweet

This boy is blowing our minds.  He is working so hard on free standing.  All day. Everyday.

How is he big enough for such things?!?

There's no story time for a couple of weeks while the library gears up for Summer reading festivities.  We still went to return/check out books and then we had a play date at the nearby park.

Logan has officially passed into voluntary snuggle territory and it sure is sweet!  He has always been cuddly but now he has stepped it up a notch.  He'll give us "hugs" by laying his head down on our shoulder for a few seconds while we are holding him and instead of always nursing to sleep, he'll get his fill then crawl up a little so his face is next to mine before nuzzling in and falling asleep.  And I thought he couldn't possibly capture my heart anymore than he already had.  He is just the sweetest thing.  He and Ayden have kicked their fun up a notch too.  They play "chase" and Logan LOVES crawling around on Ayden's floor bed with him.  They were hilarious together in our tent when we got it set up over the weekend.  It is really a pleasure to see them build their relationship and it's so fun that they actually get to PLAY now!

As bitter as it is to see my babies grow up, the people they grow into, and all of the voluntary affection that comes with that, sure are sweet.

Fast Paced Reality

Did you miss us?? 

We had a very sleepy and pleasant ride home and we made it safe and sound. We enjoyed our weekend so much!  Always fun to spend quality time with like-minded people. As if we did not realize it already, this trip reminded us of how fast paced our lives are at the moment.  As soon as we got home, we already had to hit the ground running back into our fast paced reality.   It is what it is at the moment and we really do feel like these short term sacrifices are going to pay off.  It is nice to get to take a weekend here and there to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life, though, and when we do get to we definitely don't take it for granted.

For anyone who is interested, I did write posts the past two nights even though I was not able to publish them.  They are up now if you want to read about our weekend!

Logan's First Camp Out

Ayden has always been a good camper and Logan seems to be following suit.  They both slept like rock stars!

Davis and I did not sleeps quite as well but being a little tired was a fine price to pay for spending time here. 

Helping install their ram pump

Let there be water!

We are enjoying every minute.

The Barking House

Another full day of barking at painters for Maverick. He is such a protector. Not sure what he'd actually do if we were truly in trouble but he sounds pretty menacing.  I am grateful to him for wanting to protect us and our home but when I am inside with it for HOURS, it gets old. I took the boys to my parents' house for lunch and then on a snooze cruise. One of my play group mom friends sends me a photo the garage sale adds each week so I hit up one that looked promising for some vintage items. I came away with a couple things and the kids both got in nice, long naps. Wins all around!

I may need to unplug for the weekend. We are going to be camping out on the off-grid farm of some friends of ours and I am not sure what my reception will be. If I can, I'll post but if the blog is quiet for a couple of days, you'll know why. David is supposed to be helping them do some exciting stuff so whenever I can post, I'm sure I'll have some fun to share! We are so looking forward to our 3 day weekend!

What are your plans for Memorial Day?
