Rain Rain Go Away...

Happy Tuesday everyone! We all had a good day yesterday, nothing out of the ordinary to report from out end. It was rainy and gray all day and today looks like it will be the same. I have attempted to post another video that we put together of Peanut's adventures to date, I know it still needs some tweaks during the transactions and what not but thought I'd show it a little early....hope you enjoy!

Thunder and Lightening

Good Morning everyone. We are waking up to heavy rain and occasional thunder and lightening....which is always kind of exciting. Granted I'd much rather it not be a weekday and Monday at that but exciting none the less. Today's picture is a good summary of how Peanut and I are feeling this morning. Well maybe not Peanut judging from the screams of glee I am hearing tumble down the stairs from the morning daddy time routine.... Due to her invention of the new baby sport "extreme sleeping", which involves flailing as much as possible with a surprising amount of force and always hitting your target, preferebly mom, I have been up on and off since 2am. So not exactly ready and rearing to face this rainy Monday but once we get going I might wake up a bit. We had a nice weekend hanging out around home. The biggest and most exciting event was the first launch of Peanut's doorway jumper in our house. Yes, dad is her new hero because he was able to rig it up in the door way between the living room and back hall. Hope you all had a great weekend!

Friday Free Day

So far this is what we have done, according to Peanut....
Got dressed put on a hat and hoodie sweatshirt, get travel monkey and blankie then load into stroller, look at trees and the sky as we go to the cemetery, fall asleep shielded from the sun while mom realizes she is out of shape ant can't walk 2ft anymore let alone up giant hills, come home and go inside while in the stroller and still asleep, wake up right away, get new diaper, go in my bouncer and love it ..for 5 min, lay on the floor while mom starts pumping ,get mad at the pump (aka milk stealing monster) and move to the bumbo next to mom pumping, eat my book tag, yes the tag is my favorite, get mad again so mom stops pumping early, knock the milk out of moms hand so it's on me, her and the floor but there's still some to save, get tired and fussy, nurse, get swaddled and put in crib with mobile while mom showers and makes bed and I watch the mobile, don't fuss till moms done, get bounced with paci and put on bed where I napand mom is watching me but I am wiggly cuz I gotta poo, wake up, new diaper with still no poo, come downstairs, go in bouncer, start talking while mom posts our daily update.

We Made it

Yay for it being the last day of the week for Peanut and I! She had a good day at school yesterday, they practiced sitting up and she is getting pretty good at it! Work was crazy busy and I was in meetings most of the day but hopefully today will be a bit easier. Tomorrow is suppose to be in the 70s so I am really excited about having the day off. Other then that we plan on hanging around the house enjoying the weekend. I'll post tomorrow but probably not this early, we'll see.

The Cat, The Weekend and The Pansy

Yay, it's Wednesday, we are creeping towards my last day of work....tomorrow!!! Thought I'd share a quick story about our cat, Zoe. For Mother's Day I had gotten a potted Petunia from Peanut's school. The pot has her little hand and fingerprints painted all over it and some little painted lady bugs, the flower in it was a very pretty little purple Pansy. I wasn't sure how long it would make it but I kept it nice and watered and it seemed to be doing surprisingly well...little did I know that our long weekend trip to Marquette would be the end of the Pansy. When we got back from our trip I walked in to see the pot on the island....with only loose dirt in it. No flower, no stem, no roots....hmmmm that was definitely weird. All of my previous cat eating plant experiences have left some major plant greenery attached; mangled, but attached none the less. So I look closer at the island top and see dirt....as I move to the dining room I see a lot more dirt on the carpet....and some in the living room. That was the end of the evidence...no roots, no stem, no flower to be found. What that means is she delicately removed my Mother's Day Pansy without knocking over the pot or leaving any greenery behind. She then dragged it through the house to ensure dirt would be scattered as far and wide as possible...and proceeded to eat (or hide, but I don't think that's the selected option) my Mother's Day Pansy. Wow, now that takes thought and incite....even from a cat. The Mother's Day Pansy has been replanted and Peanut approved. We are both still not on speaking terms with Zoe. Have a great Wednesday everyone! (PS Peanut had a good day yesterday, ate more at daycare since Miss Missy was back from vacation. Today's picture features some of Peanut's homemade favorites...)

The Extra Hour

You wouldn't think one measly hour could drag to eternity....but it can. Yesterday was a long day but all in all it went well. Peanut had a good day at school. One of the usual ladies has been on vacation for the past couple days and the other one had her baby last week....so there have been some different ladies in the infant room. They are not new to the daycare, just newish to the room filling in while the main people are on vacation and maternity. Peanut will be happy when the main ladies come back, I don't think she eats as well for the new ones. All day yesterday she only ate 4.5oz, the little stinker. Work, as I mentioned above, was loooong. Hopefully as the week goes on it will seem a little easier....and best of all I won't be working Friday so that's a relief. Good think I only have a few weeks here and there until August that I will be doing the extended hours, if it was permanent it would be a big adjustment. Have a great Tuesday everyone....and Happy Birthday Grandma Soetaert!

Four Day Weeks

Good Morning everyone. Happy Monday! This week is the start of my first 4 day week! I will be working 9 hours today and the rest of the week, which means none on Friday....yay! I'm going to stay until 5 today and Mike will pick Peanut up at school. It will probably be a bit tricky at first but we only have to make it work until August 11th, then I start part-time. We had a great weekend with a visit from Uncle Jake and Grandma Debbie. The weather was pretty nice, about 70 on Saturday even, and chillier yesterday. We planted flowers, make yummy dinners, played with lots of toys, went to the coffee shop, and a whole lot more. Hopefully we all have a great week! Check out my video below...it shows Peanuts favorite new thing to do...pant in excitement!
