Friday we played all day and made a Sonic trip for mommys happy hour, diet cherry limeade! The boys are starting to protest being in their car seats more and more. Unfortunately for them, they just passed a law here that they have to remain read facing until they are two.
Saturday we got up and played while daddy had to go into the office to get some work done. Nick got home around 3:30, right as the boys were waking up from their nap. We loaded them up and headed to Nordstrom Rack. The LPs did pretty good. They got a little frustrated after about 30 minutes so we checked out and walked down to Central Market. I ordered a coffee while Nick got an ice cream that he shared with the boys. They LOVED it!!! It was so fun to watch them eat it. Their faces scrunched up because it was so cold but once they tasted the sweetness of it, they were opening their mouth, demanding more. It was too cute!
After Central Market, we walked across the street to a little Mexican Food restaurant that reminded me of a Mexican Pei Wei. You place your prefer when you walk in and then they being it to you. We ordered the LPs their first official item off the kids menu. A cheese quesadilla. And they ate almost every bite of it! Along with mommy and daddy's chicken. And puffs of course.
Daddy gave them his lemon and it was hysterical watching their reactions. Pierce loved it and kept going back for more. Knox - not so much. I uploaded the videos to Instagram. They were adorable!
After dinner we headed home and put the boys to bed. Nick and I were going to rent a movie but ended up watching a movie on tv. Pretty soon it was lights out for us too.
Sunday morning we got up and Nick got some more work done while we played after their first nap, we packed up and headed to Landon and Lauryn's for a pool day.
First stop was a sandwich shop on Main Street to pick up lunch. Everly Belle will be here any day now and we needed to make sure she was getting something good!
Nick helped Landon plant trees around their property while Lauryn and I played with the boys in the pool. Next summer will be so much fun. The boys will have had swim lessons and EB will be able to play in a float. We cannot wait!!!
They boys had a great time. I put them down for their nap in their pack and play and joined Lauryn outside. About 20 minutes later I went to check on the boys. Pierce was sitting up crying and Knox was passed out in the corner. I rocked P for a few minutes and then laid him back down. I knew he needed to nap and was just fighting it. I headed back outside and checked on them again about 30 minutes later. Both of them were up ( I don't think P ever slept) and Knox was playing while Pierce was still crying. I nursed them and then they played with some of the toys we had brought while Lauryn and I caught up inside. The big boys slaved away on the trees and got so many planted!
It was getting close to the boys bedtime but the guys were on a roll. Lauryn, the LPs and I, went out to the chicken coup and picked up the eggs that the chickens had laid. Lauryn washed them off for us and I am SO EXCITED to eat them. Farm fresh eggs for real!!!!
We headed back in and I fed the boys while the guys finished up. Lauryn and I kept them entertained with Cheerios and water after they ate their pouches.
Landon and Nick cooled off in the pool and then came inside. We loaded up the boys and headed out. The way the car was packed, you would have thought we had been away for the weekend. Between their activity table, pool bag, floatie and bumbos, Molly the Denali was at capacity!!!
The LPs didn't make it two minutes in the car before falling asleep. When we got home, I grabbed diapers and their oils and we got everything ready for bedtime routine. We ended up doing everything in their room to try and keep them sleepy. It went pretty well. They drank their bottles and went down. Surprisingly, P fought his sleep. I knew it was because he was over tired and that he would work it out. Luckily he did and they slept like logs until 6:45.
Monday we played all day. I also discovered where all of the pacifiers have been disappearing to...
Thanks P!
If they aren't behind the crib, then they are here:
We Made another Sonic trip and daddy was able to get off work early so we could go to the grocery store. We met him at Kroger a little after 5 and got our things for the week. We headed home, unpacked our goodies and fed the boys.
Knox had his first choking incident that was a little scary. Nick had cut up some watermelon for the LPs and I think K got a little too excited. He shoved a few pieces in his mouth and choked. He was still able to cough and move air. A few swats on the back and he coughed them all up. He was hesitant to get back in his high chair but I put him back in and they finished their meal. Won't be the last time this happens I'm sure. Nick felt terrible but I know it's just the start of many more incidents!
They went to bed and we watched the Big Brother episode we had missed on Sunday night. Then it was pumping time and lights out!!!
Tuesday I worked and got off early because Nick had a day trip to TN. I got home as fast as I could but it took me over an hour. Lena had the boys fed and their lavender and oil on. All I had to do was woombie them and give them their bottles. It was a tremendous help.
The boys went down without an issue and I got bottles done after I took a relaxing bath and enjoyed a small glass of wine!!!! It's the little things.
I love these two boys more than they'll ever know. Life with them is so sweet!
