Weekend Recap

The skies have opened up-so we had a pretty soggy weekend. We were going to take Sam to the pumpkin patch again. But it was just too wet-she already has a runny nose and we didn’t want it to get worse. So, we went to check out some of those portable DVD players for our trip to visit the parents next week. A five hour plane ride with a 22 month old has got to be fun. Right?? I traveled with her at three months-that was GREAT all she did was sleep. Ever since she has been crawling(four/five months old) traveling has been quite exhausting-try keeping a bundle of energy in one place for five hours-you have to constantly entertain!! Basically, I am hoping that a portable DVD player will save my sanity.

Sunday was a declutter our house day. Pretty uneventful weekend, but we made some yummy chili and watched a few games. Pretty good weekend J

mom stuff

Samantha loves Penny-I know I should be eternally grateful that I have such a wonderful person to watch our little girl and that Sam adores her. Don’t get me wrong, I count my blessing every single day- but, every day I have to fight this intense feeling of guilt and jealousy. I am jealous of the woman that watches our child. Jealous of the 9-10 hours a day she gets to spend with my little girl. Jealous of the meal times, snack times, play times, craft times, cuddle times and all the cute things I miss. I get, at most, two hours of good time with Samantha at night. Most of that time is spent making dinner and getting ready for bed. I miss her so dang much ALL week.
Penny lives across the street from us…so every morning I walk her across the street and then I walk back home. She waves and blows kisses as I walk back. I can’t help but wonder if she thinks I take her over there and then just go back home and hang out without her….
In a perfect world I would be the one kissing her booboos and fixing her lunch. For now, I need to focus on how sweet and perfect the time I do get to spend with her is.

my girlie girl

This morning when Austin took Sam over to Miss Penny's, she saw one of those big yucky spiders on Penny's porch. She said to Austin "I want that" Austin said "that's a spider" she then said "Ewwwwww"

good girl.

Welcome back cold toes and super high power bills

So it seems that the cold weather is here. Samantha LOVES her fleece-already its become as necessary as her shoes before leaving the house. She is so cute.

She has really started liking Elmo. It was pretty much out of the blue. One day while I was getting ready for work she looks at me and says "I want Elmo" I haven't a clue how she picked up on it...she probably only watched Sesame Street 2-3 times and maybe has one or two small Elmo related toys. Somehow...she ended up LOVING Elmo. So, we got her a little Elmo doll that sings the Alphabet-she gets frustrated because his shoes dont come off. lol! And we got her a little Elmo movie so I dont have to fast forward through all the Non Elmo parts of Sesame Street :)

She really is a sweet kiddo-she says please and thank you. She told Miss Penny that she loved her mommy and dadda. Made my heart melt when I heard that :) She LOVES her molly dog and her baby dolls. She loves to read books..although she reads faster than I do-and I read pretty fast ;) its more like she loves turning the pages of books really fast and seeing how many books she can read in one night.

She has the sweetest little voice I have ever heard! Everyday something cute and hilarious comes out of her mouth and I love it :)
