A Weekend with 2

This week I haven't been feeling the greatest between allergies a slight cold and late nights and just feeling like utter crap I have been feeling pretty drained. I'm trying to keep up with everything and so far its been going ok there is room for improvement but all in all its going well.

This weekend I offered to watch my friends little guy who is just a year younger then L and they are pretty much best friends. We call them boyfriend and girlfriend because they are just the cutest together. They also play really really well together which makes the whole thing super nice!

I wasn't sure what we were going to eat for lunch and dinner today as I would have both kids for both eating periods of the day. I ended up ordering myself a small pizza and got them chicken bites and fries and at the request of my kiddo potato wedges as well. The food got here super quick which was really nice L didn't want any nuggets and only ate fries and wedges and G ate 1 nugget (I gave him 3). They are both picky eaters but usually eat pretty well in each others company but they just weren't feeling it today.

We spent the morning playing and watching Noddy and had lunch and then after lunch we watched 2 more episodes of Noddy and the went outside for a swim in the pool. This was the fun part G took no time to get in the pool and was having a blast while my child who has only had one swimming lesson and now thinks she's a mermaid refused to put on and wear her puddle jumper in the pool. I made a deal with her that she could do 3 of her mermaid swims and then she had to put on her jumper she did and then the fight began. Finally I was able to put it on her and she proceeded to sit one the step to the pool for the next 20 min whining. I finally decided to see if she would jump into the deep end of the pool and joked around with her she jumped in a couple times and then all was good with the world.

The kids spent 2 hours in the pool and then decided they had had enough and were ready to go in so we did. we had a bit more of our lunch for dinner and the rest of the day the kids just wanted to play family/house in the living room and watch more Noddy so thats what they did and I sat at the kitchen table and worked. All in all it was a great day with only one melt down from my own child!

Weekend Update Monday!

Saturday

Woke up this morning and it is seriously cold and gloomy not really what I wanted to wake up to but I'll take it. It's better than not waking up at all. L had a bloody nose last night. She confessed that she had picked it in the night this is the second time it has happened this week. I'm happy she told me the truth thats a good sign.

The day ended up turning into a really nice day and warmed up a lot. L instantly put on her princess dress once it came out of the wash. She thankfully isn't as obsessed as my little cousin was. My cousin used to were her princess dress everywhere and all the time. Fingers crossed we stay this way.

 We had a pretty relaxed day I had to work for an hour so L spent the hour with my sister upstairs While I worked. After I was done working we went outside for a little bit because L wanted to go outside so badly she was repeatedly begging to go. She would ask and I would say "In just a minute mommy is just finishing something." Well of course that answer wasn't good enough so the whining and persistence started. I swear she practices crying in the mirror she has gotten so good at it. Usually I just have to call her a drama queen or something silly and she will start laughing.

We went outside for a little bit and the little boy across the street was outside so naturally L wanted to go over and visit with him so my girl being the big girl she now is (she's 3 1/2) asked if she could go across the street as long as she looked both ways. I agreed and watched her. She would get to the end of the driveway and yell "NO CARS!" She would look back for me to give the ok and then she would run across the road. When did my girl get so big!

Sunday

Today we woke up on the wrong side of the bed well L did. I always love getting woken up to her whining and crying. Todays dilemma was that her PJs that she got from santa for christmas are starting to get too small. I'm pretty sure she has gotten a lot taller in the last few months. She got this one piece reindeer jammies that is super cute it has antlers on the top of the hood and it even has a little tail. I thankfully was able to resolve that dilemma pretty quickly and then it was time to get up and start our day.

It turned out to be a beautiful weekend. I had to go out to one of the local trails to do some work. L stayed with my parents while I did that and she was so excited when I got home. I got a bunch of big hugs. The rest of the day was pretty laid back we just did work around the house and just spent some family time together.
