One on One and Convenient Sleeps

Erik has been searching for a good, cheap riding lawn mower.  At first I thought that was a real waste of money.  Then I selfishly realized that if his lawn care time was shortened that is more time he can help me with the kids.  So, he finally found one that fit the bill about three hours away in a small town in Maryland.  After Jackson got home from school on Wednesday, he took the boys to check it out.  I was pretty excited, thinking of all the things I would finally get done, not having the boys with me .  . . Well, the reality is that still having Anna didn't free up a lot of my time!  She doesn't do much on her own after all!  So even though, I didn't get stuff done on my "all important list" I did have a really great time hanging out and entertaining my favorite girl.

We had some trampoline time, some swing time, some Walmart time, and she accompianied me to mutual that night.

Erik said the boys did great in the truck.  They didn't even have electronics to play with other than their leap frog tag books- shocker!  Jackson and Wyatt (and Anna) have been having a great time playing on Erik's new toy.

On Thursday, at playgroup, we were soaking up the warm sunshine.  I stayed later than I usually do, and Anna just conveniently fell asleep in the swing without making a fuss!

And she did the next day too on our maiden voyage in the new double jogger.  If she could fall asleep every morning like that, I would be happy.  I ran alongside Jackson, who rode his bike to school, dropped him off, then continued jogging for a while.  It was seriously a great way to get a workout in, and Jackson felt pretty darn cool locking his bike up at school like the bigger kids.

One Weekend, Three Living Arraignments

So I don't have too much time to blog, but thought I would do a quick update of our moving weekend.  First of all I wanted to post this pic of Wyatt trying to drink the rain that came last week.  It was the first time it's really rained here since we came to Arizona, and it was so weird.  Hot, muggy, rain.  All packed up and ready to go.  Friday was our last night in the apt (hallelujah!) One last goodbye To avoid having to pay into the new month, Saturday and Sunday night we stayed in a hotel (it was a lot cheaper surprisingly).  Wyatt was having lots of fun jumping on the bed. So Monday morning, as I was showering, I felt like the conditioner was making my hair feel really weird.  Well, that's because I dumped a bottle of lotion on my hair . . . FYI, that doesn't work well. Monday we finally moved in!  I took these pictures after a full day of unpacking and cleaning if you can believe it.  They look really bad, but they give you a tas...

OK, so I guess the consensus of the man giving me the flowers is creepy to everyone.  I think it's one of those times you had to have been there, because he really didn't seem creepy.  In any event the flowers still look pretty in the kitchen :) Wyatt just cracks me up these days.  I think this is just the funnest age when their personality really shows its true colors.  While we were playing in the backyard I tried to get a video of him using his "worker man voice"  It is the most hilarious thing.  He loves to do things to get me (and especially Erik) to laugh. While I was taking pictures of the boys, I decided I might as well get a shot of the baby tucked away (well not so tucked apparently) at 21 weeks.  I really am feeling so good these days, as long as I get some sleep.  Now that we are back on a normal schedule that's a lot easier to do! Jackson has reached to a new stage as well of keeping himself entertained (without the TV)...

Anna loves being by the fire.  It's actually the only time she doesn't fuss if she's set down.  This girl likes to be held! Our little Sumo wrestler A little dream smile :) We finally found some good bunk beds on Craig's List.  Jackson LOVES sleeping on the top.  I'm still keeping Wyatt in his crib, because he does so well in it.  I see no point in rocking the boat when I have a newborn to give me sleep troubles already.  We'll put Wyatt in bunk bed sometime this summer. Sweet girl.  This is one of my favorite outfits that I ordered for her, because it has my favorite color: yellow :) Jackson always wants to hold her.  Last night we had this sweet conversation: Jackson: "Mom, when are you going to wake up tomorrow morning?" (I've been able to sleep in while my parents have been here) Me: "I don't know Jackson it depends on how much Anna gets up during the night." Jackson: "Oh, I hope she doesn't need to nurse tonight...
