I can't believe its been forever since I posted... seriously... i write blog posts in my head all the time... why is it so hard to get them published for all of cyber world to read???
1. We had a fun Thanksgiving... for the last five years we've spent it with the same group of friends... but they ditched us this year and went and had Thanksgiving with family... haha... Thankfully we have such a great church family here and received several invitations... the food was great... the friends were great... the whole day was great!
I also had a four day weekend... Joey had a four day weekend... it was glorious!
2. We started Potty Training... it's going ok... not stellar... but ok... I think little buns in big boy underwear are sooo cute!! :)
3. One of our very dearest friends was sealed in the Dallas Temple over the weekend. It was such a beautiful day. Its been many many years coming and I'm so glad that I got to be part of their special day.
4. Buddy had his three year old check up this week... the doctor says on the height chart he's the same height as a 4.5 half year old. crazy. he just turned three a month ago in case you're doing the math.
Everything looks good. We need to work on his pronunciation of words... but other than that he's right on track with everything. And despite three year old tantrums we think he's the best boy around!
5. I've got to start slowing down. Seriously. In the last week I've gone to Dallas twice, hosted a playdate, a Thanksgiving craft day with a few of Buddy's little friends from our community playgroup and hosted an Uppercase Living/Scentsy Party complete with a clean house and treats for all events.
In the next week I'm hosting a baby shower, company (yay!) and a Christmas Party.
Which normally is fine... and just part of life... but I'm almost eight months pregnant... and when I start doing too much I start having contractions. And I need this baby to stay put. So I really really need to slow down. And my husband is constantly lecturing me about slowing down... so yeah, I've got to start slowing down.... after my Christmas party of course.
our unfinished turkey craft...
6. Speaking of baby... six weeks.. yikes.. six weeks... so so much to do to get ready.
And we haven't agreed on a name. I have the name I want. Joey has the name he wants. And we're no where near a compromise. Maybe he'll just be named Little Man #2.
7. We're struggling. Me and little man. Part of its that his daddy is gone all week... part of its that he's three... part of it is everything else (potty training, no binky, full moon, conflict in the middle east, etc, etc).
He has tantrums. I'm tired and frazzled. He throws fits. I'm tired and frazzled. We're learning and growing together. Please tell me I'm not the only one. Because right now I'm not feeling like Mother of the Year.
P.S. a peppermint shake from Chick-fil-a does on a mommy/buddy date night does help ease some of the struggles.. it really really does...
And now its back to work and real life... booo... Have a great week!
