Baby room

Almost done, would love to paint demon blue on the bottom half of the walls with a rustic pine wood chair rail that had been beaten to pieces and stained dark brown... But I'm not going to do anything else besides maybe change the mobile :). Ok baby number two, we are ready!

It's a hot one

This little man loves slushies, popsicles, ice cream, and ice. Who can blame him? He gets over heated so fast. He turns beet red and the sweat just starts pouring from his little head.

So, today after nap he got popsicles. He actually got two because he asked nicely and even said please when he requested another one :)

Then, after our evening walk I took a friends suggestion and crushed ice in the food processor! She is a pure genius!!! It worked perfectly and we made Gatorade blue slushies!! We sat on the front porch with spoons and straws and shared a ginormous slushie. :) It was a little taste of heaven on one hot summer day!

Happy Birthday

I just wanted to tell my wonderful husband Happy Birthday! We had a party at the house on his birthday, but it was baby shower! Guess that's just life in the AF. :) We will try our best and spoil him once he gets home. Until then, thank you for being an amazing Daddy, husband and friend!

Oxox,
The ol'ball and chain

Date night

Again, can I tell you how blessed I am? My friend Sarah suggested we go to dinner. I will do anything to get out of cooking, cleaning and planning a meal. Plus, I love Chillis.

I knew today would be a busy day due to the shower so I agreed! We took these three adorable dates with us :) They were so good and well behaved considering that we were there for an hour and a half! The waitress seemed a little dingy :-/.

On the way out, Wyatt decided to say Hi to another little boy who was sitting behind us. Then out of no where he slapped the little boy the face! While saying, "POW". I was horrified and shocked! The little boy was about five years old and he said,
"it's ok, it didn't hurt". I did my best to teach W we don't hit our friends!! I made him say, "I'm sorry". But, I don't think he understands yet.

He also hit another friend over the head with a plastic boat this afternoon! What type of kid do I have? Probably, a almost two year old exploring and learning about the world around him.

Next time he hits someone, I'll hit him back and yell, "Wyatt, we don't hit!"...maybe that'll will work ;) Naw, how could I even joke about hitting that cute face! He has "Cheesing" so hard!
