Happy Thanksgiving

We spent this Thanksgiving & the days surrounding out in the wilderness with our friends & neighbors and some of their family.  The weather was gorgeous & the feast was plentiful.

Our cup runneth over with things to be Thankful for this year:

lol. this picture cracks me up - they (the men) would all just go over and watch the smoker .....

First taste of a shirley temple....not a fan

Always love a chance to go into Logan's world at school. Today his class had their Thanksgiving Feast.  

T.G.i.F!!!

Sleepy

Recently we've been going without a nap (gasp!)  I'm kinda loving the extra time freedom & Logan doesn't seem phased by it, but come 6:59pm that kid is almost crawling up into his bed. 

Tonight when I had my cell phone in his face taking pictures he said "turn the light off puuulease"

Sure thing buddy - just give me a kiss on the lips first :)

Oh Monday

We were busy allll day Sunday re-vamping Logans room with a paint job.  We have another little project up our sleeves for his room so until then.... here's the only view you get:

But painting all Sunday meant no time for getting set up for Monday success.  Today this was the kitchen - but imagine this caliber of mess throughout the ENTIRE house.

Guess what's here....

The cold air!!!

8 in 2

Going into this whole work thing I was to have an "ON" week & an "OFF" week.  Recently that hasn't been the case.  Today I had the DAY off and when I went to get Reagan dressed I grabbed her last panty out of her dresser......

Reagan has 500 million bajillion panties.  What this means is Moma is super duper behind on laundry.

So on my off day we went to the laundromat to try to squash allllll the 7 or 8 loads of laundry in the 2hrs I had before we had to pick Logan up from school and then go to therapy.

I was a sweaty mess.  But we did it.  Kinda.  Had to fold towels & socks when we got home....

Reagan was a big helper - she loaded all the machines & helped put detergent in.  Then she got distracted coloring her new Doc. McStuffins pillow and "looking" at pictures on my phone....

But tonight I looked through my pictures and found these...so either some laundromat creeper was taking pictures of me OR

This might have been the very second I was telling Reagan how much I hated folding fitted sheets.  lol.  no, seriously.

Tonight Reagan told Kevin "Daddy we washed my blanket all clean.  But not at our house at the store!!!"

8 loads in 2 hours - I might be on to something.

Before the week gets too far in I shall reflect on the wonderfullness that was the weekend:

Last night before we left for kickball I asked Logan for a kiss. Typical Logan kiss is to just lean his head in and almost give you a head butt.  But last night I asked specifically for a kiss on Mommys lips

Guess what folks?!! I felt Logans lips on mine for the first time EVER :)

So of course I've seeking reasons for kisses all day !  Here is one of them:

Naptime

Told Reagan she could play quietly in the playroom during naptime today.  She was so super quiet but seemed very busy....I had to go peek

Busy indeed :)

Conversation last night when I was tucking Reagan in to bed:

R:  Mommy Dylan is playing in Heaven for sooo long when is he coming home.
Me: Dylan isn't coming home
R: He isn't? Why not?
Me: Dylan died & now he is in Heaven 
R: Did he fly or drive to Heaven
Me: He flew
R: But how did he fly. Dilly has no wings.
Me: Some tiny angels came and picked him up and flew him to Heaven

Ugh - this little lady is making it tough not to miss Dyaln :/

Time change

Time changes & kiddos are never a good mix.  I remember this little lady being up wicked early her first time change - you roll with it, it sucks but lemonade out of lemons right?! That year we did a photoshoot at 5am:

3 years later - it still stinks.  They are up early & tired early for at least a week.  This is the little miss was up at 6am on the dot, didn't nap and fell to pieces at about 5;30 here she is  at 6:30pm we are trying to make it to at least 7pm.....

Halloween 2014

The year there were 2 Pirates, Mickey & Minnie a Bat, Spiderman, a Solemn skier & a Naval Officer ...oh yeh & 2 old people ;)

LOL LOL LOL LOL - Anyone else notice Reagan?!!!
