1+1=10

 so i think i'm ready to admit it.

i was determined that having 2 kids would not slow me down.

i picked up and went home to my moms for the weekend without mike.

i went to the mogadore parade, the festival (minus the beer garden, sadly), swimming at deb's, walking with my mom, a trip to visit wauwau and papa, grandma and grandpa bill...

each time having to do the mental inventory of what we needed to leave the house.

we traveled back and forth during nap times and in between feeding times...

sigh.

i'm tired.

having 2 kids is harder than having one.

there.

i said it.

i feel better now.

i am an excellent multi-tasker if i do say so myself.

but eventually it gets a little exhausting.

plus sam has entered a fussy period...

that i hope is ending tomorrow and is not something that begins with the letter c and ends with the letter c.

i plan to hang out at home for a lot of days in a row.

so our weekend.

it was fun aside from the stressfulness.

and i get mad at myself for being stressed out.

because in the end... what's the worst that could happen?

they both cry all 2 hours home in the car?

i forget to pack a bottle?

every where we go while i'm at home is always only a few miles away.

someone poops through their diaper?

no biggie, i mean, i did step in dog poop yesterday in my bare feet.

saturday we went to the mogadore parade.

eli and sophie watched together and got tons of candy.

eli caught on to getting the candy pretty quickly.

 

eli played lots with sarah,

they seem to have a relationship all their own.

Sam turned 1 month old!!

we celebrated by sleeping until 7am two nights in a row!

 i'm ready for him to NOT be sleeping all the time (except the night time part of course.)

but then again, i want to keep him THIS little for as long as possible!

we surprised wauwau on her birthday sunday.

i didn't tell her we were coming home, and showed up on her door step with two grandbabies.

she was surprised!

eli helped her blow out her birthday candles...

and we played with anna jack.

eli and gracie played together today...

they play so good together now,

today they were chasing ginger, and giggling the cutest little giggles.

it was hard to tear eli away from her.

and it was hard to take gracie's PINK shoes away from eli.

he loves wearing other people's shoes.

pink seems to be his favorite, much to mike's dismay.

I'm sure we will go back before i go back to work.

it turns out, i like my family more than i hate to travel with 2 kids.

make sense?

if i could just convince them ALL to move here?
