Spilt Milk
Pumping has been my part time job for about the last 11 months and I'm about ready to say bye bye! I thought this was hilarious after I saw it on FB this morning. I'm so sad to see the quiet with Sammy in my arms changing, but happy to see him growing into a little guy too :)

Mr. Mom
Ahhh, yes...it's that time of year again where I no longer have to get the kids ready by myself and load all three in the car every morning! Tim is done for the summer!!
He's a great, amazing, patient father and such an awesome playmate for our munchkins!
No more rushing around the house for me in the morning trying to maintain control :) Tim even brought breakfast into my office today! He's pretty great!

Cajun Cookin
We get to enjoy a little southern cooking tonight with great friends at their crawfish boil! I'm going to feel like I'm on NOLA again!
And what would a get together be without some sugar cookies to go along?
Have a great weekend!

Aldi Special
It's been a while since I've mentioned Aldi, but it's practically my favorite place to shop. Mostly because well - I hate shopping. So if I'm forced to fetch groceries to feed the hungry mouths in our little nest I would gladly go to Aldi first. It's no nonsense...no noisy advertising in your face, no fancy displays, no discount cards to dig out of my wallet, no temper tantrum producing toy aisles to avoid, no hype...just groceries. All at a killer price and for good quality. This is starting to sound like a paid advertisement!!!
Anyway, I was excited to find a new plastic contraption for the kids as if we didn't have enough already!? But, it was kinda fun to get something other than my usual staples of chocolate covered doughnuts, milk, and hummus. And as you can see, all three munchkins loved it. They're obsessed with water. Total score at Aldi today!! Hope you're all enjoying the amazing weather this week!

Young Athletes Round 2
Indiana Special Olympics has locally been putting on a special event, called Young Athletes, for preschool aged children for a handful of years and Grant was lucky enough to participate for the second time this past Friday with his class.
He seems to love running, jumping, spinning, or anything that involves being physical so this was right up his alley! Check out his form kicking balls...just be a natural! Nana drove all the way from Columbus to watch which also made his day!
During the opening ceremony they have each preschool class march in a parade with their class banner in front of the stadium's home stands. There were so many parents and family/friends there cheering the kids on. I teared up (good thing I had on sunglasses!) thinking of how lucky all of the kids were to have such supportive circles of people around them.
I haven't been able to stop thinking about that morning because it was a good reminder for me of how important it is build up your child. I'd like to think I do a decent amount of that, but I never want to lose focus of that. One of my love languages (from the 5 Love Languages book by Gary Chapman - GREAT read!) is words of affirmation. Grant and Lilly must be picking up on it - every now and then I'll hear them tell each other "good job" even for the simplest of tasks. At least one part of my parenting skills appears to be paying off :) At the end of the day, what I want for my children, is to feel like those preschoolers during the parade...knowing without a doubt in their minds that they always, always have their very own cheering section standing behind them every step of the way.
Proud of you buddy!

Finally!!!
As a married couple we have seriously lacked a master bedroom that hasn't resembled a college apartment with mismatched furniture and mattress on the floor, non-coordinating bedding, or what seems like an extension of a playroom or nursery. Romantic, I know.
We just haven't really given it attention in the past...there's three other little priorities that gratefully fill our time :)
Boring bedroom no more!!! We're working our way to our cozy getaway a little each weekend and we finally conquered another Pinterest inspired project: an upholstered headboard. It turned out okay. I'm no expert so I wasn't expecting a masterpiece or anything! It warms up the room which is really what I was trying to accomplish! We also love the gray and yellow theme so I'm working on incorporating more of the yellow here and there. Fun!
