Why didn't you tell me Wednesday?

Okay.... so pardon me for the LONG pause between these posts, but I have a renewed sense of things and I hope to stay on top of this (at least for a little while)....
...now on to the post....

Why didn't you tell me that some days, my baby would be on a mission.... he would have one goal to achieve, and it would involve three stealthy maneuvers.... he is locked on accomplishing what I have come to fear.... The Baby Trifecta

The Baby Trifecta can come in multiple combinations or in some rare instances it has happened all in one horrible changing table session. I am talking about the horror of not only being peed on, puked on, or pooped on.... but having them ALL happen at once.... all in the same day. Believe me, they have all magically happened at the same surreal moment!!

Memorial Day quick trip

so we took a quick trip to visit my SIL, she made the BEST stuff....
dirty snowballs (in the summer!!!)

it was this guy's birthday!

Luke LOVES his Aunt Babs

Noahie loves his swimming pool....

Why didn't you tell me Wednesday?

Okay people... It is one thing for somebody in the house to get sick with a stomach virus, but it is a whole "nother, nother" when your husband starts off your blissful weekend puking and then by Saturday night you have a projectile vomiting (almost) 8 month old with his millionth poop-leaking diaper! Several thoughts were running through my head this weekend in no particular order:

1. food poisoning... I think NOT
2. HOW MANY times can I change a diaper and clothing and the changing table!
3. will I have enough baby wipes and diapers to make it through?
4. HELP!!
5. I hope I don't get sick....
6. Great, TORNADO warnings and golf ball sized hail
7. yuck, more trips to the washing machine
8. Please don't poop/puke on me
9. HELP!!
10. OMGoodness, I just stepped in POOP at 3 am walking back to the nursery? HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
11. When is this all going to end? Surely there is NOTHING left in there?
12. I have run out of all matching pjs and I frankly don't care, let's just see what is left that isn't in the washer/dryer
13. HELP!!

I hope your weekend was better than mine! Thankfully, Josh is better (he now has back problems from being banished to the couch and still cannot really help with Luke, heck, he can barely walk) and Luke is steadily getting better, although the poo issues are still around (geez)!

we interrupt the silence

...to share a few pictures....
Luke and I enjoyed one of the beautiful days we have been having recently. He was so funny on his blanket out in the yard. He kept picking it up to see what the funny green "carpet" was underneath. Unfortunately, I needed to be on a blanket too because while I was on my stomach grabbing these shots, I also picked up a rash from the grass!! Enjoy...

What a difference an hour makes!

I am guessing that I am not the only momma out there that thinks the time-change is phooey.... Our schedule has been so out of whack today! We went to bed early, woke up SUPER early, took a 1.5 hour nap and are now working on another nap! Poor Luke's biological alarm clock needs some adjusting and I am zonked! He has started getting up really early (as of last week) and now with the time change, we are not functioning very well! Hope we can get in the swing of things again soon.

Any tips out there?

Terrific Tuesday!!

Although rain is headed our way, my heart is happy. Why?.... because of my baby bubba! We are getting up earlier these days and we are recovering from a terrible cold, but we keep a song in our heart and a smile on our faces (most of the time)! Hope you have a wonderful day!

"Why didn't you tell me" Wednesday #2

Why didn't you tell me:

- that I will almost always "get ready" for my day, just by brushing my hair/teeth and putting on clean PJs

- that I will go days without straightening or curling or fixing my hair...

- that I will go even LONGER without shaving my legs...

- that I will develop a DEEP appreciation for house shoes (I LIVE in my UGGS too)

-that getting a few minutes in the shower will be the absolute highlight of my day on most days (
