This post is a hodge podge of random thoughts and stuff we've been doing recently and not so recently. Enjoy!
About a month ago I gave away this changing table dresser. After serving us well with four babies and going through two moves it was on it's last legs. The bottom drawer was useless and it was wobbly and dinged up. I had gotten a "new" 4 drawer dresser from my neighbor for free, so I decided to pay it forward and give this changing table away. It went to a good home in my neighborhood. Once it was gone I had a little moment of mourning the fact that my baby days are pretty much over. Somehow Beckett must have sensed it because he woke up the rest of that week crying in the night and I got to rock him back to sleep. And I loved every second of it because it is truly almost over.
I got new glasses! I was very excited about this because I had gotten a new pair of glasses last year that never fit my face correctly and I was dying for a pair that wouldn't fall off every 5 seconds. I love my new ones and they way they fit. They are the biggest frames I've had since elementary school but I think they are kind of nerdy chic and I love the slight cat eye. Anyway, fun stuff. Now I can actually wear my glasses on days I need a break from my contacts!
This kid. He's hilarious and mellow and sweet. He loves his Lego's. He was so excited about his Lego pen creation. He wanted a picture printed out of him with it and I think I will oblige just because he is so darn cute. I'm enjoying having Davin home with me half the day since he's so easily entertained. The biggest annoying thing about Davin right now is that he is a big time cryer. He cries about everything. Every time I tell him to turn off a screen he's crying. Every time it's time to come home from a friend's house or do a job he's crying. It gets old, but at least I get good snuggles from him when he's calmed down.
Last weekend Ian and I went out on a date to Provo. We only live 20 minutes away but we seriously never go there. We got my wedding ring cleaned, ate dinner at Burger Supreme, then enjoyed a BYU gymnastics meet at the Smith Fieldhouse. I swear I hadn't been in the Fieldhouse since my graduation almost ten years ago. It was kind of weird. And it seemed smaller than I remembered it. Anyway, the meet was fun. I always love watching gymnastics. Afterwards I wanted a treat so we stopped at Krispy Kreme for a hot, fresh donut. I was feeling generous so we also got a dozen donuts to take home. The kids were pretty excited when they got donuts and cartoons on Saturday morning. :)
You know I'm not much of a fashionista, but I ordered this cute scarf awhile back and I finally found a good day to wear it for the first time. This is the first scarf I've owned whose main purpose isn't to keep my neck warm in the cold. I thought it looked really cute and it made me feel so fashionable. I might have to get another color and wear them more often!
The kids had Monday off school this week for a teacher development day. I really wasn't sure what the heck we were going to do all day, but luckily Auntie Mel had the day off and met up with us for lunch at Chick Fil A. We had a great time! After lunch we stopped at the mall so I could go to Sephora and get a few makeup items I had run out of. The kids were relatively well behaved while I got my stuff and checked out so we stayed at the mall and played in the dino playground area. Beckett was in heaven. I even let them play on the ride on toys and splurged for a shared ride on that green train. The kids always beg to ride those things then think they are pretty lame when they actually do the ride. Sigh. It ended up being a really nice day off. After the mall the boys went to their friends' house to play while the babies napped and I got the house cleaned up. Then we were all home that night for dinner, FHE and baths. :)
This is what we woke up to on Tuesday. Sheesh! It was 64 degrees on Monday and we were all playing outside in our sandals, but Utah weather is crazy and I knew we weren't done with the snow, so I wasn't too surprised. The snow had stopped and was all melted by the time Davin got home from Kindergarten, so no lasting misery for us. Thank goodness.
The next couple of weeks are going to be kind of crazy with birthdays (mine and Davin's), church stuff, a baby shower I'm throwing at my house, and Ian going to Chicago for work. Then we are heading to California for a fun filled, warm Spring Break!
