05/09/10 - Happy Mother's Day Nine....

Happy Mother's Day!!! This year was great, aside from me having horrid allergies (making me cranky). Superboy let me cuddle with him in the morning, amazing...and the Superfam took me out for lunch at Pei Wei...Super yummy! Superboy was totally in love with my brown rice...yes, another 'action' photo...he doesn't sit still.

Supergirl even let me put a dress and hair bow on her. She was so cute...I should have gotten a better picture.

We also went shopping! It was still super windy and the dust was yucky, but I put Supergirl in the EveryWear and a shopping we went. Yes, I know the picture is great...oh well. And can I again add that she fell asleep in the EveryWear! She is so comfy in it! Love it! Anyway, we needed a new monitor as the one we got with Superboy was transmitting poorly after 2+ years of extreme use.

Once we ventured home and the kids napped I put Supergirl in a little hand-me-down beach outfit and for the first time, I really started to see her brother in her. So cute! I could eat those cheeks!

05/08/10 - Day 8....AH, AH, AhCHOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Today's adventure was limited due to my horrible allergies! Clipping Supergirl into the EveryWear we made it to the mailbox and sat outside while Superboy played in the sand and rocks with his tractor. As you can see in the picture I didn't show my face due to the puffy eyes and Rudolph styled nose, but you can see the lovely Kleenex that I'm holding in my far hand....nice.

 

05/07/10 - Day 7 of the EWC

And on the 7th day we rested...HARDLY! Being it was Friday I felt the need to take a power walk through the desert with my kids. The sun still goes down pretty early here and Superboy's bedtime is 8, so after we scarfed down dinner I grabbed all the gear and we were out the door!

(I'd also like to add that typically Superman...aka my hubby leaves for work as soon as I get home, so I do all the evening activities solo...yes, I take my own pictures or ask random people to take one and pray it turns out...LOL)

The trek over the dirt and sage brush was an adventure. Supergirl rode in style in the EveryWear, which was super comfy on our off rode jaunt. My son really liked all the dirt/sticks and the dogs were troopers! Here's a pic of us on our way home.

05/07/2010 - 5QF!

It's 5 Question Friday! Thanks to My Little Life!

1. What is your worst memory of your siblings?

Oooo, too dark....pass...

2. What was YOUR naughtiest childhood memory? (Must be something YOU did, no pawning it off on someone else!)

Totally getting my brother in trouble! He hit me on the head, not really that hard, but I put some major drama into how bad it hurt. My mom was so mad at my brother, ranting about how he would give me brain damage...she literally ripped his pj's to shreds!

3. Where do you like to go to relax?

To bed...or hide in the bathroom!

4. What was the last thing you won?

An EveryWear!!!!! Just a few days ago! (See my other blog posts)

5. If you could be on a game show, which would you choose?

I was on "The Price is Right"...lame... Maybe I'd go for "Deal or No Deal"?

05/06/10 - Day 6

Happy Thursday! Today was day 6 of the EveryWear Challenge and we went to the grocery store. I usually put Supergirl in her car seat and put the car seat in the cart, but the EveryWear made it so much easier to actually buy stuff, as I room in the cart for both Superboy and food. Plus, she fell asleep shortly after this picture was taken.

05-05-10 - Day 5 of the EveryWear Challenge!

So, here it is Cinco! FIESTA!!!!

Anyway....on with my report of my participation in the EveryWear Challenge:

My outstanding husband, aka Superman, watches the kidos during the day while I'm at work. During the hour of 4 pm he quickly hands over the kiddies while I slide out of my work clothes and listen to an update of who has eaten what and who has poo'd... you know, the important things! Anyway, the 5th of May was a sleepless day for all those in the "Love Shack". Superman flew in late last night and got a whopping 3.5 hours of sleep before Superboy got up (which is usually round 6 am). As the day went on Supergirl didn't take her usual naps and neither did Superboy...needless to say, Superman was not feeling so super by the time I came home. As magic would have it. I walk to Superboy's new bedroom and he has fallen asleep...funny as I just heard him talking to Superman not 3 mins earlier....pumped I left him to sleep and continued on with my nightly rituals...I knew I better get working on dinner and since I knew I was not going to make it outside for my EveryWear Challenge, I popped Supergirl in the EveryWear facing me and started to make dinner. Low and behold 10 mins in, Supergirl is sleeping! I snap on the sleeping hood and she slumbers for 60 mins while Superboy is still sleeping and dinner was cooked to perfection! SWEET! Thanks EveryWear!!!

05-04-10 Tuesday - Day 4

So, this was a crazy day, and we didn't get out of the house. It's amazing how much control a toddler with the "two's" can do to a family....Even though we didn't make it out of the house, I did pop on the EveryWear and got a lot of stuff done around the house.

05-03-10 - Day 3

Ahh, Monday! At least we made it outside in the EveryWear...forward facing today!

05-03-10 Mommy Monday

Ok, this is actually short, but at times I feel like a horrible mommy. How can something so small be the cause of both my greatest joys and frustrations....

My son is an adorable 2 year-old and suffers from the terrible twos...and I don't fault him for being unable to communicate exactly what he needs in a way I can understand, but at times I'm just perplexed why this little man is sobbing, with drool running off his shirt, and snot pouring from his nose....*sigh* I know it will get better...the days may be long, but the years go fast....

05-02-10 - A Windy Day 2

Day 2 on "I am EveryWear"....What is "I am EveryWear" you ask....Well, to encourage parents to get out & about with their babies, Scandinavian Child has created the líllébaby “I am EveryWear” Sweepstakes. Click on the link to check it out and join in the fun!

So today is/was WINDY!!! So our journey outside was short. Since I forgot to get the mail yesterday we walked to the mail box and around the block. The EveryWear easily fit under my jacket. Perfect to keep us both snug and cozy! I was going to use the sleeping hood, but she looked so cute in her hat.

05-01-10 - Getting Out!

After the coldest, snowiest winter in decades, it’s time to get out and enjoy the outdoors with your baby. To encourage parents to get out & about with their babies, Scandinavian Child has created the líllébaby “I am EveryWear” Sweepstakes.


Day 1:
The plan was to hit a few community garage sales with ASL in the new EveryWear. What a sweet little hit she was. I loved the older people commenting..."Ooo, there's a baby hiding in there.." (It was sunny so I had the hood over her.)  Here we are as we made it home with great bargains in the truck!

05-01-10 - Happy May Day & The Challenge

HAPPY MAY DAY!

Gee...I'm excited for the day my kids can make May Day baskets. Was I the only one who did that? Or did you do it too?
