I know that it has been awhile since my last post so I have tons of pictures to catch you up on. It is nap time right now and I can barely keep my eyes open....so forgive me if this post doesn't last very long.
1. Working Mom
Yes. I am in that great category of trucking off to work and leaving the little ones at home. I imagine that in a few short years when the boys go to school that all of this will soon change. Right now I work Friday and Sunday nights (scheduled) and then I have been trying to pick up extra. Last week I clocked 40 hours!! I am picking up work again tonight from 7-11pm. I don't miss many waking hours but goodness, it is really making me go through the coffee!!
2. The weather changes...so we needed new clothes!
It was super hot, and now super cold. I even put the heat on this morning!! I am laying in sweatpants and a jacket. The boys have started to move into the next size so this past weekend I took advantage of some Labor Day Sales. I have most everything I need for Fall and winter except jackets, gloves, and hats. This morning we went for a walk and had on our new vests!! There is a picture at the end of the post. My parents also got us new stuff. Yay!! Thank you thank you!
3. Iphone
On my iphone we can "flip" the camera so we can see ourselves while taking a picture. It really helps when we need a little distraction during appointments. Here is a recent, up close shot of me and Owen.
3. Cars, trucks, and trains
One day I think that I should collect all of the vehicles in the house and take a picture. I think that even I would be shocked. In this picture the boys are taking match box cars and driving them on the widow ledge. (Yes...that is why they are wearing matching truck pajamas a few photos up. No fights and they are OBSESSED!)
4. The crib
Thrilled that the boys are still in their cribs. Yesterday Cameron did not feel like taking a nap and at one point when I went to check on his safety he had is foot OVER the crib rail. Awesome. He is a giant (as you can see in this picture) so I am surprised that he hasn't figured this out before. Sawyer just got into a big boy bed but we are going to put that off as long as possible.
5. Fresh food and different snacks
I am pretty tired of giving the boys fruit snacks. I am sure that future trips to the dentist will be avoided if I start to nix that right now. This weekend I decided to start searching the aisles for different snacks that would last longer in their bellies and still not be such a mess. So far they have said no to some but yes to others. I am also trying to eat a bit better. Hopefully as the boys get older and start understanding more we can add some variety to the diet. (I plan on doing this with bribes.)
