Do I, or Don't I?

So, yesterday I started watching a 6 week old baby girl. She is the sweetest, cutest little thing. I have to be up by 5am because her mom drops her off around 5:15am. I thought I would HATE being up that early but it is actually really nice. I have a few hours of quiet! Not to mention I'm up with Dan before he heads off to work. I take the time with no kids and a sleeping baby to get ready for my day. It is really nice.

So the question is...Do I want another baby? Most of you would think that having the little girl around would definately make me want another baby, especially a girl. However, I think it has worked in the opposite way for me. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE babies and love having them around. But it is nice to send them home at the end of the day. It really is a lot of work getting a baby ready and lugging around that ridiculously heavy carseat just to go to the store or pick Koleton up from school. Its nice to be able to tell the boys go get in the car, lets go!

The boys are really pretty independent. At least when compared to a 6 week old baby. I love not having to change diapers all day/night. I Love sleeping through the night! So, does this make me selfish? Obviously, this total dependence thing doesn't last long but do I want to do it? I love my boys and I keep saying I want a girl but now I'm wondering if I really do. Could I get used to all the girly things? It is kinda nice being the only girl around. But it would also be nice to have another girl around to go shopping with and go get nails/hair done with.

I'm still up in the air!

Manic Monday

It started out we were late for school. Koleton took a late nap on Sunday and would NOT wake up on Monday cause he stayed up too late fighting with us about going to bed. So, we're running late thanks to Mr. Sleep Head. Well, he decides to open the car door while I'm putting McClain in his seat. And SCREAM!!!! He shut his fingers in the door. YAY. It really wasn't that bad but he was CONVINCED he needed a band aid. Ok, we're late but if it stops the sobbing fine. So I go running to the house to get a band aid. I'm locked out! GREAT! My keys are in my old purse which is inside.

Luckily, I was able to get ahold of Dan and get the house keys out of his pickup.
Thank goodness he was with carpooling with the other guy this week and his truck was still in town!

Right before I was scheduled to meet with Miss K and her momma McClain silently awoke from his nap with a poopy diaper. I realized he was awake when the house started to smell like poop. So, I go in McClain's room to find he had taken off his poopy diaper and smeared it all over his crib and himself. YUMMO!

I was just getting cleaned up when Miss K and her mom showed up. The boys LOVE babies and were totally all over Miss K and her mom. They were like little actors. They were CRAZY. I'm not sure if Miss K and her mom were impressed. The boys were off the walls. They are usually busy but they were totally showing off for the two ladies that were visiting. Thank God that day is over! Oh by the way, Miss K is just as cute in person as she is in the pics.

Like Father, Like Son

This child never ceases to amaze me. He informed me that he had to go poop. So after a few minutes I went in to check on him. I asked if he was done and he said, very matter of factly, "no, me reading a magazine." Oh, sorry to interupt!

Koleton's 1st Day

Today was Koleton's first day of Headstart. I am so glad that even though we didn't qualify for the program he was still accepted. I went to Headstart and Koleton has my SAME teacher! It is such a good program!

Camping trip

Dan, the boys and I finally got out of town around 4pm on Friday. MUCH later that we had thought but it was OK. By the time we made it to the camp ground there were 3 sites available. We took the one that we thought would be the best to provide enough room for 2 tents. It still wasn't very accomidating.

We got our new tent camper all set up and decided to head back into St. Maries because we thought the King Pins were playing but apparently they weren't there until Sat. So we went to the fair and let the boys play some games. Those things are total rip offs but the boys still had fun.

When we got back to camp it was time for bed. We struggled for about an hour to get both boys asleep. Niether like sleeping anywhere other than home so we knew it would be a chore.

Dan and I were just starting to fall asleep when new campers started arriving to set up their camp. At 1am!! ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!? Come on! Lights were shining on us, car doors slamming around us and people laughing. We were getting ready to go lay the smack down but realized it wouldn't do any good.

So the next morning we set out in the car to drive around and find a new place to camp. We don't like caming like a box of sardines. That was literally how it was. We finally found a little spot right on the river. It was kinda close to the road but other than that it was perfect! We could fish right in camp and we were by ourselves. It was plenty big enough for everyone too.

We had a lot of fun. Koleton was trying to fish and fell in the river. It wasn't a very warm day so he just got cold. I was right there and able to pull him out. It was swift or anything. Just cold. It was fun hanging out with our friends and family and the boys had a lot of fun getting dirty.

Now, why does my house still look like it was hit by a tornado??
