Signs of Summer

Mowing the grass, ugh. I know I shouldn't complain b/c I am not even the one who does it. But it really puts a damper on our Saturday mornings. We'd much rather be at the pool :)

At least we'll have plenty of help in the near future!

These two pictures show their personalities quite well.

Bustling

My days are so full and so busy and I usually don't have much tangible to show for it. I am just constantly on the move. Remember when I was on the couch? This is still way better, but good grief, I am wiped by the end of the day. My body is still gaining strength from all that bed rest, so I hope it will only get less exhausting.
I've been walking several mornings with Mason and Ryan in the double stroller. I make myself go a little farther each time. Mason keeps asking me to run. Yea, right. Just walking and doing my day is plenty for me. Not to mention our 90+ degree days.

I better hit the publish key quickly, before I decide this is much too negative to post.

Counting Down

Owen's last day of school is June 18th.
He is getting excited.
It's on every one's brains.

"what is summer? summer is when you go to the beach"
"Kindergarten spelling" - they write it how they think it sounds

I am definitely ready to go to the beach, we will go in July and August :) I am a little apprehensive about what our summer will look like. I want it to be a good one. With a purpose. But the days go by so quick, I barely have time to think. Even when we stay home, my mind is not in it. We have started a little list of all the things we'd like to do. Some major day trips and some just small things like play baseball. I am excited, but nervous too. I will definitely be glad when we don't have to rush to the bus stop 2 times a day.

Knobs

Remember our bathroom reno? Well, we finally picked out hardware this weekend and EJ installed them. There is still no permanent mirror, but we are working on it.
Thoughts of the master bathroom reno is entering our minds again. We thought it might be wise to get the first one totally done, since we will be sharing with the boys when ours is under construction.

Not a Good Combo

It's been put off long enough, with bed rest and a newborn. Potty training is under way. I have been dreading it. Kind of hoped that by waiting this long it would just happen. Ha!
Well, I don't think potty training is good combo with a tired mommy and a new baby that eats every 2.5-3 hrs. Patience is not my strongest virtue at the moment. But we are doing it. He is wearing pull-ups for now, b/c I can't handle all the mess and extra laundry right now. Plus, it's inevitable that he goes while Ryan is nursing.
EJ was a huge help this weekend. I think we might be making some progress.
I am so tired of 2 boys in diapers!
