Real Life Mom Moments: The Past Few Days

Well, I haven’t been posting real life mom moments everyday. I guess that’s real life. There’s never enough time for blogging as I’d like.

So we’ll play a little catch up.

This guy turned THREE on Thursday! With this fall being so busy, we decided to keep celebrations pretty simple. No big birthday party, just making him feel extra special by celebrating as a family. We decided to opt for a giant cookie from Target. Those things are our favorite, and totally dangerous. Especially since ALLL I crave when I breastfeed is sugar, sugar, and more sugar.

The older three kids have this new tradition of cuddling in our bed mid morning. The girls run to their cribs and get their pacifiers and blankets, then march into our room and say, “Up! Up!” Since they aren’t taking a morning nap anymore, it’s been a nice way for them to decompress for a few minutes. We turn on Sesame Street and make a snuggle party out of it. Oh, and Emersyn is also obsessed with putting headbands in her hair. She puts them in, then runs over to Jake or me and waits for us to say, “PRRRETTY Emmy!”

Emersyn tries with all her might to get her sister to wear them too.

We spent a lot of time at the park this weekend. On Saturday we had a picnic there because honestly I just couldn’t handle cleaning up the kitchen ONE. MORE. TIME. Emersyn stole the bag of chips she was splitting with her siblings, found a hiding place, and chomped away. That girl beats to her own drum.

Case caught some rays while the big kids burned off some energy.

Those are the highlights! If you don’t already follow me on Facebook and Instagram, you can check those out for a few more pics of our happenings lately!

XOXO,

Amber
