Savannah's Impromptu Photo Session! (and a little bit of reality)

In this blog, I've recounted so many wonderful times/events/etc with our little family. Those are all real moments. But what I leave out is the crazy...

In an effort to be more realistic, let's recall this gem from a couple weeks ago:

Reagan, Savannah and I were in Quantico at a birthday party one Friday afternoon. All was going well until shortly after eating, Savannah had a movement so forceful that liquid poo actually exploded out of her diaper, immediately through her onesie, and directly onto my outfit. Of course I had a change of clothes for her; me, not so much. No worries, I just rocked my nursing tank top and a jacket. We continued to enjoy the party. On the way home, it was nearing dinner time, and too lazy and tired to figure out something to cook, I swung into the McD's drive thru. In the eyes of a 3-year old, this made me the best mom ever! 

As soon as we got home, I sat Reagan down with her chicken nugget Happy Meal and placed her sister, still asleep in the carseat, on the kitchen floor. I dashed upstairs yelling, "I've got to change and go potty, please watch Savvy for me!" Within 3 minutes, Reagan has visited me in the bathroom 12 times and tried to feed Savannah a piece of chicken (thank goodness I recovered said piece of chicken in time!). Fed up with her behavior, I proceeded to give her the worlds fastest bath (while Savannah was still screaming), put her in pajamas, and plop her into bed. It was 7pm. 

The night continued with a lot of Reagan crying about not wanting to go to bed, me yelling at her to get back in her room, and so on. Finally, I sat down to feed Savannah. She ate well, as she always does, and then promptly did something she NEVER does...puked. Directly down my shirt. 

Yeah, these are the stories that don't usually make the blog. But this is also real life. And with that, here are some pictures of our cutie pie!

NC Girls' Weekend

Image
Since Jason is out of town, we decided to schedule an impromptu girls weekend visit in North Carolina. It was great to see Lynsey & Colleen and their families. Jessica, the girls and I drove down Friday night and got to Lynsey's just before midnight. We didn't do much, but hang around the house and play outside on the first day. It was relaxing and fun. Brian was awesome and played with the kids while Jess, Lynsey & I did a workout in their amazing home gym. Colleen came up with the boys around lunch time on Saturday. All the kids fawned over Miles, or as they have names him, Baby My My. I think Savannah really enjoyed not being the youngest for a few days. Saturday night, we ordered pizza, ate way too much, and Grammy Betty came over. We haven't seen her in a long time and it was wonderful to chat with her again.  The next day, we woke up to some snow! We played outside again and the kids played well together which was nice for us adults. Colleen and the boys ...

Bath Time Fun

Image
Typically, after Jason gets home and eats dinner, he is on bath duty. It gives me 10 minutes to clean the kitchen, set up his coffee and make his lunch for the following day. One day last week though, everything was already done, so I snuck in to watch the fun. We recently got some Mr. Bubbles for Reagan and she LOVED them. She's such a cheeseball!

Bath Time: PAHM Style

Image
I've mentioned it before, but I will say it again: I love Play At Home Mom !!! This site is the best for ideas to interact with, engage, and teach your children. Reagan takes a bath almost every night. She has the typical assortment of toys (rubber boats, cups, a turtle, etc) to entertain her, but lately, she just leaves them in the bag. I decided to introduce some new things during bath time and they were a huge hit! Here are some pictures from our "adventures in bath fun." First up: BUBBLES ! It's a bit too cold to just hang out in the yard blowing bubbles, so I decided that bath time would be the perfect opportunity for a mess free bubble party! I LOVE this shot.  Secondly, (and straight from PAHM), I added: WATER BALLOONS !!! She absolutely loved when I poked a small hole in them and they became "water fountains!"
