Enjoying

Not worried about blogging, not overly worried about taking picutes just enjoying the days with my little man and big man.

 

I think there are always times that it is important to put some things down so that other things can be picked up. I have been having some serious tugs at my heart to opt out of the social media world altogether as I think it occupies so much time that could be spent doing other things, but alas I am still here. 

 

We haven't done anything too exciting or eventful but stuff, none the less, that fills my days and makes me happy. The things that seem so insignificant about the day, are the things that John and I sit and laugh about at night.

 

 

Like the dents that are developing in our baseboards from a car loving two year and the humor he finds in crashing them into the wall (ask me how I feel about those when it comes time to put our house on the market)

 or his love for shutting the dryer door 50 times while I transfer the laundry

or the fact that he NOW loves naptime because mommy lays on the floor and cuddles with him the whole time.

Yep he figured that one out quick and I fell for it.

That is just our life now and I am okay with it, some aspects might suffer, but I am enjoying the slow down.
 

There has also been a lot of meeting daddy at the park for lunch, swinging, playing on mommy and daddy's bed after dinner (one of Crewe's favorite pass times), ice cream sharing, geese watching.... (... is my transition for when I don't know what punctuation to use, in case you hadn't figured that out yet)  just soaking each other up... enjoying. Nothing pressing, no schedules.

 

 

Happy, almost, weekend!

Sweet Moments

It dawned on my a few nights ago that Crewe has NEVER experienced donuts in his 2 years of life, so we set out to change that deprivation today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Up next... powdered donuts

Happy Saturday!

SANTAAAAA!!!

Say my post title like Buddy the Elf and it is so much more funny.

 

I grew up in this town and somehow in my 18 years of living here... never went to Santa Land. How that is possible I am still not sure but none the less, my kid will experience this place every.single.christmas. It is magical, even at 30.

 

It was a perfect weekend outing for Daddy's return.

 

See for yourself.

 

 

Crewe was definitely more entertained by the ramp, steps and dirt... that he ate as he tumbled down the last step. Meh... boys will be boys.  

 



Kind of magical, right?

 

And nothing is more magical than the true meaning of Christmas and I always want my boy to understand and enjoy Jesus.



Cool or creepy? The verdict is still out.

My man ended up bribing me, so we ditched the 2 hour long line at Santa Land and paid $20 for THIS at the mall. Well played hunny, well played. Santa looks disgusted, I look REALLY happy and Crewe never hides his emotion.

 

My husband thought it looked like, I passed gas, it scared Crewe and disgusted Santa.

Hahahaha! It kind of does! Hmmmm....

 

 

Sweet boy ended the night shakin his groove thang while daddy planked!

 

 



Loving....(Part 1)

Let me start with 1 thing I am not loving, but have come to accept. If you have followed by blog for a minimum of 1 day, are my friend, seen my post on facebook or have ever text me and I responded... you will know that I do not proofread N to the E to the thing. I mean seriously it is a little ridiculous being college educated and all, but I don't intend to start real soon. So please love me through my none proofreading ways.    ;-)
**********************************************

Ok so on to what I am loving....

To me love is so hard to put into words at times, but so easy to feel in moments. That is why special moments are so easy to recall... certain smells. songs, scenerios trigger them. It is usually not words.

So I am loving all this...

 

Somebody turned 2 on Saturday!!!

 

 

Hard to believe my little guy will be 2 in a week.

This has started within the past couple weeks and it never.ever.fails. As soon as the camera comes out and I try and get a picture with him... well see for yourself.

 

Pretty right?

He will have nothing to do with it unless it involves me sneaking in on his play time. Oh 2 year old, momma will continue to sneak into your pictures.

 

Love "part 2" will be coming, along with more truths about Crewe, DIY Tufted Headboard, Snickerdoodle Pumpkin Bread and whatever else I claim I will post and never do. IT'S GONNA HAPPEN!

Mish Mash and a mutha load of pictures

Happy Fall! I am loving the Pumpkin Cupcake candle from Bath & Body Works and loving the cooler weather. It have been overcast and raining since last Wednesday and it has been a little piece of fall heaven.

 

We had an interesting week and weekend. A good time was had by all, but I am slowly noticing my little love bug entering a not so fun stage. Although, according to everyone I will look back and miss all of this, even these stages, and I am sure these experienced mommas are right, but right now it is hard and trying.

 

I found the more we were out of the house keeping busy the better everyone's mood seemed to be, so that is what we did. Fair, food, Grandma, parks... you name it we did it.

 

Parenting an infant and toddler are so, so, sooooo different and I am having to learn as I go. Any input of patience is gladly accepted. I find myself experiencing a drastic range of emotion every.single.day!

 

This has been my motto that I repeat to myself over and over and over......

 

"There is no such thing as good days or bad days, only grafeful days or ungrateful days", and I choose to be grateful.

 

Much works is being put into finding the good in even the most trying days of parenting, marriage, life....

 

So rather than having a "Debbie Downer" post I will let the pictures speak for all the things I am grateful for in our day to day life.

Okay so these next 2 pictures might be my two favorite of the night. Check out hand placement of the 3 individuals behind my sweet boys. It appears that she is holding hands with her boyfriend... only to be fondled by the boy "friend" behind her. Wtf?

 

 Are they happily aware of this arrangement or is this guy just trying to cop a feel and OMG!! What if the guy in the back is the guy in the fronts BFF. That would just be wrong. Anywho... if you think it was just a fluke.. the next pic solidifies the matter.

 

My boy wasn't too savey on all the fair had to offer, much to his momma's dismay, UNTIL we spent $10 for him to win a car worth MAYBE 0.25 cents at which point the fair made sense to him. 

 

 

 



 Grandma paid us a visit and gave momma some help while Daddy was out of town.

 
We are grateful for, cooler weather, time with Daddy, wine ; ) and yummy scents to bring in the new season!
