Our weekend

* My son was breaking my heart earlier today.  He was so upset to be at preschool.  He was good for a few weeks and then something triggered and now he isn't into school so much.  His music teacher is one of my friends, so if he doesn't calm down for some reason, they will call me.  But it is just hard.  And because he is so upset I want him to continue going to Mother's Day out.  I think it is so good for kids to have that time.  He needs to get over his anxiety.  He does calm himself down.  If he were upset all day, I'd take him out of school.  I think we are doing the right thing, but this parenting thing is hard.  One thing I have learned is to NOT JUDGE OTHER PARENTS OR PEOPLE in general. It drives me crazy when people on twitter or Facebook judge people they have never met.  I will stop there...that is another post for another day that I have been writing.



 Look at his little face...I took this picture this morning before school.   He looks happy a little...ha!

*Our weekend was fun, eventful and FULL.  Except for yesterday.  It ended up being a low key day.  Layla got sick on Saturday night.  Bless her heart.  I don't like seeing my kids sick.  So Sunday we skipped church in case she was contagious.  She didn't get sick again, so we think she is good to go. It must have been something she ate.

* We went to the pumpkin patch on Saturday morning.  I don't know what I was thinking.  NOT SMART.  We met Becky and Connor there while Gary and Terence played a round of golf.  I don't think I got to say one entire sentence to Becky.  The place was packed...I have been every year for 3 years and I have never seen it so busy.  My kids were tired and Hayden was all over the place.  He threw the biggest fit and screamed and cried.  Bless his heart...he was just WAY over tired. So we cut that trip short and came home for naps.  We will be going back to the pumpkin patch very soon.  The place rocks!

The one picture of Layla with her arms drooping says it all...she was so stinkin' tired.  That bounce house will wear kids smooth out :)

Look how sweet Connor is...I just love his little face.  He is the best baby.  Such a sweet and happy boy.  Terence and Becky are wonderful parents.

*The Branches came over for a fun fajita dinner. I was so excited to get to put my kids to bed and visit with grown ups. And then Layla threw up. I was sad that I didn't get to have very much adult time, but happy that Layla had her mommy to comfort her.  Thanks for the fun day Becky...we will get together again soon.  Hopefully next time it won't be so crazy, however life with two kids is always crazy and fun.  I love it :)



*Sunday we went on a nature walk. It was so fun. We played at the park, picked acorns and threw rocks in the pond.  The weather was AMAZING.  We soaked in as much of it as we could without tiring Layla out.  I watched her really close all day for fear she would barf again.

* I got a new ottoman. A Pottery Barn ottoman from a garage sale for $20.00. The people selling it were so sweet and so nice.  They had some amazing things for sale.  They have wonderful taste.  I could have gone nuts on their stuff.  I can't even begin to tell you how many bargains I have found at garage sales.  It am so addicted to it. And I am so happy about this ottoman.  Now I just need new end tables for my living room lamps.  And I need to redo my entertainment center thingy. nd I am rambling...

 But look at the kids on the new piece. Monkeys I tell you.  I am raising monkeys.

Have a great Monday :)
