Busy, but fun weekend!

We had a busy fun weekend. Fri was Dev's fall festival at school. It was alot of fun. There were quite a few parents their to help. I was in charge of the bowling. They had made bowling pins out of 2 liter bottles with some beans in them for stability. They rolled a BBall to knock them down. It was neat, but I didn't think about how many times I was going to have to pick up the pins...... The kids had a great time and were sugared up by the time I left. Not sure if they really took naps that day or not:)

Sat am. me and D headed out to a water bday party. It was at an aquatic center that had an indoor water park of sorts. It was great, it had sprayers, and water dumping buckets and the water was only 2ft deep at the most. D like it and his friend Harris was so glad that he came. I might have to find out what the winter hours are. It is open to the public and 4 and under are free!! It would be a great winter fun activity!!

Later we had Bry's 2 yr bday party. It's a week early but that way my inlaws could help Tim and Amanda move and be here for the party. B had such a great time! He was really shy though when everyone sang Happy birthday to him. He caught on quickly to opening the gifts with D's help of course. I told B to show everyone what he got and then after every gift he held it up for all to see:) How cute! I don't know anyone was fast enough to catch a pic of him blowing out his 2 candles:) He blew them out so quickly like a pro, I don't think anyone even had their camera ready, hee hee.Thanks to everyone that came to his party. We really enjoyed it and it was wonderul having so much family around to help celebrate! The weather was wonderful too. Just in time, because is has been raining everyday since then!

Congrats to Tim and Amanda who are officially moved into their new house. I even let the boys ride their big wheels over there the other day. They loved it, the trail is a little rocky so I had to push a little, but on the way back they did much better! I am so happy that they are so close. Amanda made green chili and we went to pick some up and dropped them off some leftover bday cake. We are glad they are here. Also a BIG CONGRATS on the baby news. They found out the sex of the baby. I won't spill the beans incase everyone doesn't know yet....but Congrats to them!!!

Last night I had such a great one on one time with my baby B! Mike took D to Taekwondo and B and I just sat on the floor and hugged and played and laughed without interuption. It was so wonderful, we have been saying we wanted to plan more one on one with the boys and it was so wonderful. I really think B enjoyed it because he just hugged me about a million times. Of course he is my cuddler of the two but it was still so very nice! It's just the simple things that you sometimes have to slow down and absorb what's around you. The days get so busy with routine and feedings, and baths, dressing and off to school so quickly. I am a little(alot really) stressed with my new hours because they are so long and I am missing my purely play time with the boys. I am sad when I think about how we have to rush them out in the mornings and have little time to play in the evening. I am trying to give myself time to adjust but I don't think this is going to last very long. I know kids are only small once and the little things and the bonding time will pass so quickly, as it already is day by day. I have been going over all the options in my head and all the alternatives... I will let you know when I decide what to do. I have a feeling it won't be long because I am already feeling such sadness with each long day that passes.

And......my wonderful hubby knows how I've been feeling and sent me such beautiful flowers to work today. It was such a suprise and so very touching to me! He is so wonderful and just sent them to "brighten my day" Of course it worked!! Thank you so much for thinking of me and truly brightening up such a gloomy day! I love you baby!! I have made a slideshow with pics from the weekend but I'm having trouble getting on my page. I will post it as soon as I get it to work right. Meanwhile, here's a pic of my beautiful flowers!
