Weekend Recap

Whew what  a Monday!

Sis is out of school for the week, so we are blessed to have her home with us all day, and not just in the mornings. The older two have been begging to go to the library, but with the trio being mobile, and our crazy schedule we haven't been able to go as often as we use to. So when Nana volunteered to take them today, I was thrilled. They had the biggest smiles on their faces when they left, and when they got home the smiles were still there.The trio is doing great. They are pretty clingy lately, so when I have to get a chore or meal done, they rotate who rides in the Ergo (seriously, why didn't I have one of these with the older two?!). It was such a beautiful fall day today that the older two also played outside for a good part of the day. It may have been busy, but honestly, I wouldn't trade it for a thing.

Getting into the spirit with some crafts

Alright lets jump into our weekend recap, I am warning you now, it's a busy one!

Friday night was pretty similar to any other night; eat, play, baths, jammies, books, bed, mom and dad chill in the living room and watch some DVR shows.

Saturday was pretty busy. Coach isn't working weekends until after the new year so we are loving having him around not just on Sunday's, but all day Saturday too. He was given tickets to go and watch the last home game of the OSU football team, but since we had last minute plans to go have dinner at my sisters, I told him to go with a friend, and we would go to dinner. So after the boys woke up from their nap, the kiddos and I  picked up Nana, and headed up to Aunt (what the kiddos call Aunt Kayla) and Uncle Jose's house. We had a ton of fun eating delicious homemade Mexican food, playing with all the kiddos (his-3, ours-1 due in January, and just hanging out. Coach and his friend headed to the game around 5, and tailgated until it started at 7. We were all late getting home that evening, but we enjoyed ourselves.



Sunday we tried to keep it pretty low key. It consisted of the usual football and laundry. The sunshine was out, and so we took all the kiddos out and had them play around in the yard. I even took this opportunity to take a few photos of all of us in our Bears gear. Hello Christmas card photo!



Earlier Sunday afternoon Daddy took the older two into town to rent a movie. Cuddling on the couch, watching a movie with some popcorn was the perfect way to end our weekend.

Hope you enjoyed yours!

Five on Friday

Yes yes I have been MIA for far too long, but I am back and I plan to be as consistent as possible since I think it will be easier to document a lot of our life for the kiddos, than me being consistent with the trios baby books (sorry third, forth, and fifth baby problem). I have missed blogging, and was actually enjoying it. Plus I think the kiddos will get a kick out of reading it when they are older.

So lets jump back into the swing of things and get going with 5 on Friday!


5. The boys are finally taking steps! So exciting since their pediatrician is putting a lot of pressure on this preemie mom.
So thankful for the talented Alysun Peters Photography - August 2013
 

4. I finally feel we have a nice consistent routine now that the boys are down to one nap, which includes mama getting her workout in. Yay!

3. After losing our sweet dog (this will have to be another blog post), I am so excited that we will be picking our new little guy the day after Thanksgiving. Brace yourself for cute puppy photos coming soon. 
We may  never know what happened to you, and missing you has not become easier with each passing day.

2. Thankful to be done with the tray part of the trios high chairs, and all 7 of us sitting as a family at the table for meals


1. Hubby and I had a day date with our BFF couple last Saturday. So fun and refreshing.
