Note to Self~

Aiden, Baby Joey
Don't put the baby on a blanket on the floor and then run around trying to get stuff done. Your preschooler will jump over him (Ahhhhh!!!) and then when you freak out about almost seeing your little boy jump on your baby, your baby will start to fuss, subsequently your preschooler will try to calm baby... By... trying to pick him up. Then, as you're trying to keep yourself calm so you can comfort your baby as you rush across the room to get him, baby will grin at you when you bring him into your arms, as if nothing ever happened. On a happier note, yesterday at the grocery store (yeah I took my two youngest to the grocery store, it's official, I am crazy), I was rocking and…

Still Recovering and Photography.

Pictures, Venting
My body is still pretty messed up from my fall on Saturday. :( I've just been forced to take it slow a little more than I'd have liked, I was finally picking up speed again and getting back to myself. I'm just hoping I'm back to normal again in a few days. I'm really just so glad I wasn't carrying Joey, that would have been bad. The positive is after a few months on the down kick with photography, I can't get enough of it again. I'm just always thinking how I can capture images again, it feels really nice. Here's a few captures from the last few days.

We Went to IKEA Today

Aiden, Baby Joey, Baby Wearing, Family Fun, Kevin and I, Michael, Pictures
Warning: VERY long post. If you wish, just scroll through the pics. :D Yeah, it's a favorite spot. We walked up just as they pulled breakfast off the bar, so we got lunch. Then I dropped Mike off at Smaland. No sooner had I dropped him off and walked upstairs and just started getting going did they page me back... Ugh! Kevin and I gave each other one of those glances, all parents know those glances, and I headed back to get him irritated that in less than 10 minutes he'd managed to get me paged back. As I was heading down the stairs another Mom said, "It's a false alarm, they're all going off, you'll just get a new one." Whohoo! Mike was hopefully NOT in trouble. Sure enough…

Potty, new wrap, and I need to drive…

Aiden, Baby Joey, Baby Wearing, Michael
I'm so excited it's Friday! I need a Friday... It's bone chilling and windy here right now, it's almost too much. It's supposed to warm up a little over the weekend, I hope so... Aiden went potty at the store yesterday! That's a first. We had to go, and I asked him in passing if he'd like to go too, when he said "yes," I was surprised but hurried and helped him. He made it! We're so proud of him. He finally got his first undies, yay! Mommy's just not brave enough to let him wear them yet. He's better, still grouchy, but I think that's more from cabin fever than feeling under the weather. In the last few days, as I was trying to get several things done, and…

Aiden is sick.

Aiden
:( He started slowing down yesterday, about a half hour before I went to get Michael, he passed out with his blankets in his room. I told him as I noticed him trying to huddle in that he'd better not go to sleep because it was almost time to go get Michael. He went to sleep anyways, which usually means mega tantrums when I get him up to go. :( I got Joey ready, then got Aiden changed, his shoes and jacket on, and tucked him back in. I took Joey out to the car, then came back to carry Aiden to the car. He barely woke up and we just brought the blanket with us (BTW, the special blanket, "Blank," got lost a few weeks ago when I accidentally…

Something is new about me.

Kevin and I, Pictures
I got a hair cut today. Real quick cause Joey's about to get fussy, sorry there are not fabulous pics, I just used the web cam instead of hauling out my camera, begging Kevin to take pics of me, checking the settings to make sure that they won't come out wrong, telling him how to do it "right," pulling the card, uploading the card, thumbing through and fixing up the pics, exporting the pics and changing the format from RAW to jpeg, resizing the pics, saving the resized versions, uploading the pics to the internet and copying and pasting the links, I just used the web cam... Hahaha. Serious pictures are a lot of work. So, deal with my less than wonderful pics...
