Fun in the Sun/Snow
Hooray for the weekend! Its fun to have Jon home all day (he and Adelyn are still snuggled in bed) and nothing on our calendar. We had a fun Friday night--some shopping at Macy's and then watched the Wild game. Do we know how to compromise or what--haha!
Thursday was definitely my hardest day as a mother of 2 and the hardest day I can remember for quite some time. We were all battling some type of flu bug. I was exhausted and the girls just wanted to be snuggled--usually a great thing but neither really wanted to be snuggled together. So I would try and rock Alyse to sleep, put her in the swing and then take my turn rocking Adelyn with hopes she would fall asleep before Alyse would wake up. But of course Alyse would wake up before Adelyn would fall asleep which would result in both girls crying--on and on for hours all the while my stomach was cramping and my body weary. Obviously sick days have yet to be invented for Moms as I quickly learned. We made it through though. Jon kindly came home right after 5. Adelyn was asleep by 7:30 and we were in bed by 9!
Friday all was well with the world again and it may have been the smoothest day that I've ever had with the girls--ironic huh! I think we were all back to normal again as far as the flu bug goes. We were showered, dressed, fed and casually out the door by 9 am (this never happens without at least my stress level rising considerably) and off to visit Kim. She used to watch Adelyn on Tuesdays when I worked and was anxious to see her and meet Alyse. We had a blast with her. Back at home Alyse fell stayed asleep in her swing (after her lunch) allowing me to feed Adelyn and put her down for a nap. Adelyn actually fell asleep while I was reading to her. Nothing like this has ever happened to me with her. Jon says it has a few times with him but I could hardly imagine it. Both girls happily asleep I was actually able to put some dishes away etc. It was amazing :) I'm going to hope for more of those days!
Happy weekend! Here are some pictures from last weekend when we thought we were playing in the last of the snow.
What is it about snow that makes you want to eat it?
Her boots turned into high heals with the slush she collected
Whee! Fun with Aunt Monica
