ONE HUNDRED FORTY FIVE


When you stay at YayYa's you have to earn your keep!

ONE HUNDRED FIFTY FOUR


We have driven by this Nesting Doll store a bunch of times and I have been dying to go in.  Today we did, and it is solo cute! Alana chose s nesting doll that looks like Elsa from Frozen and Liam chose a little red girl.  I tried for about 30 minutes to persuade him to get a pirate, but after opening probably 15 dolls (the lady wanted to kill him) he finally found one that he liked.  He said the tiniest doll had a pretty face and thats why he liked it... not sure what that says about him, but I was just happy to finally pay before the lady asked us to leave! HAHA

ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THREE





We went to a cute little farm near Mom's house today with one of my best friends and her kids.  I bought her son an ice pop...aaaaaand... I'm pretty sure she us going to kill me! haha

Hit up the Fishkill Farmers Market today! Got something pretty for us and something tasty for Daddy to enjoy when he gets to NY in a few days!!

ONE HUNDRED FIFTY


Heard some giggling in the kitchen while I was folding clothes in the bedroom and found this.  SHOCKING... they were playing together, having fun, and all on their own.  Its these sweet moments that get me through the days when they are fighting non-stop. 

ONE HUNDRED FORTY NINE





While we are waiting for our West Point housing we have been staying with YayYa (thanks Ma)! For all of you that know and love her, she is a neat freak.  After every shower we have to use this squeegee (sp?) to get the water off the walls and glass.... I hate it... the kids... LOVE it! Who knew?

Heading home from the city! Both kids are passed out on me and we are chugging by our next home West Point :) looking forward to moving into our house and getting settled!

Thanks Auntie E! We have been tooling around town in Auntie's car while she is in CA and its a lifesaver! PS when did my baby turn into this gorgeous little girl?!!

ONE HUNDREND THIRTY NINE


Well we made it to NY so you know what that means.... PIZZA! Bagels too of course (my first meal home naturally), but nothing says NY quite like a big greasy piece of pizza... MMMMMMMMMM

ONE HUNDRED THIRTY EIGHT


Went to the store today to pick up some essentials and Alana and Liam wanted some tic tacs.  I said no, but Alana asked if shed could spend her own money on them.  Not only did she buy some for herself, but also bought a pack for Liam! What a good big sister!!

ONE HUNDRED THIRTY SEVEN


Whew! We made it to NY.  No plane images (sorry) as we were focused on getting from TX to NY in one piece.  Me? I was clutching my Pelican Case as the flight attendant informed me it would not fit in the overhead bin of our micro sized plane.  Yes.. full on panic ensued... thankfully we ended up fitting it the attendants closet! OMG We made it!!!

E asked me to make him a protein shake this morning.  The size of this bottle is a little ridiculous right?! Wish I could say he was a loner, but he is accompanied by three other friends and four additional bags of different flavored protein powder.... Yes this is serious.

ONE HUNDRED THIRTY


So this is a picture of the lego that Liam swallowed. Well... not the actual lego (that one is still inside him) but the same kind.  I can report after a panicked call to my husband I will not be taking him to the hospital, but searching through his BM's for the next few days until this little gem appears on the other end. Being a Mom ROCKS :(
