Enjoying having our couch back out of storage!!!

Losing more teeth {love}

iPhone Photo Dump

I have some topics in my head to blog about, but they take a little more mental capacity than I have right now. {grin} And I've got lots of cute pics on my phone...so...yup...iPhone Photo Dump time!

I can't even. Another tooth gone, a little bit cuter.

BWAHAHAHA!

{I saved this from FB to send to Brent, only reason it was on my phone.}

When you don't weigh 20 pounds, you can't forward face, so you get creative with your feet!

Brent came home with Golden Chick, and you'd have thought I'd starved them all day. They were like baby birds begging for worms. Drew HATES her high chair, but she's happily sitting here for a few french friends. UGH!

T moved his chair to the middle of the floor to watch football with Brent, and D had to drag hers over to sit next to him. I died.

Is she kissing him? Biting him? Both?

I love listening to her babble and his dialogue about what she's doing.

Patty's kids came over for a swim and I caught these 2 like this. Please ignore the giant river of snot going down Drew's face. We're fighting off some allergies!

Big Day!

I woke up today knowing we had 1 big thing happening...

I wasn't expecting this one! 

Can you guess which one I find more exciting?

One of Those Nights...a Timeline

I've done timeline posts a few other times {I'm too tired to search for them and link} and think they are fun as a way to remember what life was like when I'm old and gray...er....older and grayer.

My typical night consists of putting Drew to bed between 7:00 and 7:30 and then Trent to bed between 8:00 and 8:30. {Expectant mothers...here's a tip - if you EVER want your bigger kids to want Daddy to put them to bed, you have to let Daddy do it when they're younger.} Then I work/blog/pump until about 10:00 and then have a little freetime. I would like to say I go to bed at 10:30 but it's more like 11:00.

Last night, however...

7:00 - Put Drew to bed. She was TIRED. Teething is hard work. {One is poking through!}

8:00 - B starts getting Trent ready for bed. Drew wakes up. {Huh?}

8:30 - After having nursed and rocked Drew 2 more times, trade places with B and read to Trent and let B rock Drew.

8:45 - Finished reading to Trent, now resume Drew put-down.

9:00 - Success!

9:00 - 10:30 - Work/pump

10:30 - 12:00 - Financial discussion with B...very important conversation but oh so late.

12:00-12:30 - Read. {Y'all. Book 3 of The Outlander series. So.Good.}

12:37 - Is that Drew? No.

1:37 - Is that Drew? Yes.

1:37 - 2:37 {I put exact times here because I noted in the middle of the night them all ending in 37. Nerd.} - Nurse, rock, teething tablets, repeat.

3:45 - Trent wet the bed, gets in our bed. Shirt and blankie are wet, so now my sheets need to be changed as well.

6:40 - Drew wakes up. Nurse, rock, asleep.

7:00 - Allena decides to start working blogging.

Good morning friends! Any objections to a venti chai today?
