Come back tomorrow for an awesome contest!!! 🙂
Baby Shower Time for 5 Minutes for Mom
How fun is this… that we get to join in the fun on Janice and Susan's Cyber Shower.
Head on over and check out the awesome shower gifts and take a cute look at Janice's new bundle of joy. Sorry Susan, I bet your time will be really soon hehe.
I have always loved baby showers and never really heard the term cyber baby shower's but thinking about it, it is a really neat concept and especially now that I am miles away from my family and have lots of cool online friends.
As you can see from their cyber shower post, they are playing a few games. The first game is to post a pict of the most sympathy-inspiring photo of you in childbirth. I am going to post this pict as I am so excited to finally have my first baby girl out, but wow that was a lot of work. What do you think? hehe
The second game is to post a picture of your baby bump 😉. Here is my professional pregnancy pict with Madisyn:
and here is the night before I went into the hospital to have Madsiyn. Look at that belly and stretch marks eeeek.
The third game was to post your birth story of one or both of your kids. I don't have the girls birth stories on this computer, I need to get them.
Leave me a comment and go enjoy the fun over at the Cyber Shower.
They asked us to post our 3 prize picks 🙂
In no particular order hehe
Madisyn Student of the Week
I went into school to pick up Madisyn Friday evening and I couldn't find her. I freaked and yelled at the teachers "Where is Madisyn"… they said right here right here she hadn't came out of class yet. They said she has something to tell you. I looked at her and she gave me this bashful look and I said what's wrong Madisyn. I was hugging her. Her teachers were like go ahead Madisyn tell mommy. I lifted up her hands to see if she got a stamp, I said was you not a good girl today? This would be the first time ever not getting a stamp. Her teachers jumped in and said Madisyn not good? That will never happen. They said she is always good.
I was like ok the suspense is killing me, and Madisyn finally said mommy mommy I got student of the week. PHEW… nothing bad and it was GREAT NEWS. I was so proud of my big girl. I lifted her up and gave her the biggest hug and told her we would go home and go swimming and then out for some pizza to celebrate :).
She was so proud of her award and would not let go of it:
Here teacher said for being "Student of the Week" we get to make a poster board of pictures of Madisyn so it could hang up in class all week. Madisyn and I love doing craft projects together, so I went and got our supplies out of the closet and this is what we came up with. I got tears in my eyes just doing it with her, because where has my first born baby girl went to? She has grown up soooo much and is such a big girl now! Here is a picture of our little project:
With all of this talk of her being so good at preschool, I said Madisyn why do you get in fights with sissy at home and throw stubborn fits with mommy and daddy. She said mom, my brain messes up when I come home. LOL. She so cracks me up with what she comes up with. That's my Madisyn! Here are a couple picts I took of her outside today:
Of course I couldn't leave little sissy out of the picture hehe. I do have to share a quick story. She will be three in two weeks and has been talking sentences since she was 18 months old, but I never knew the backtalking would start soooo soon. Madisyn came and told me Lyndsee was coloring on their TV in their bedroom. I said Lyndsee why are you coloring the TV for? She said because I want to mommy! OMG… I think I was shocked, and laughing all at the same time. An almost 3 year old saying that? Here are picts of sassy pants hehe.
I love my girls so much. They keep life such a happy adventure and light up my world sooo much. Mommy loves you girls! Madisyn mommy is super duper proud of you too for doing so well in school.
Beating The Rush Hour Traffic
This morning made me even more proud that I get to work at home. You see my brother has been living with us for a bit and has decided to go back home to NC for a while. We went online yesterday and bought him flight tickets and we picked the earliest flight available because we knew the traffic would probably be bad.
I rise and shine at 5:30am this morning and get the girls and I ready and we are out the door by 6am. His flight leaves at 8:00am and we are only about 20 minutes from the Tampa Airport. Well gooooood golly. That 20 minute drive turned into a hour and 40 minute drive. I couldn't believe it. The traffic was bumper to bumper at 6am this morning and then all kinds of wrecks everywhere so this meant fire trucks and ambulances trying to get through. I was like oh my gosh where do I go to let them by to get to the wreck. I was literally sandwiched in four lanes of bumper to bumper traffic. Lyndsee is freaking out on me. She has this love/hate relationship with her carseat well this morning was her hate relationship, then she cannot stand loud noises so the sirens were just making things worse. AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
I kept thinking Dear Lord, please let me always be able to work at home, because Jen would have a darn heart attack if I had to go through this everyday. I just don't get how peeps can do this every morning. The hubbs does it and he never complains. Maybe you get use to it I don't know, but that traffic was just insane.
I just knew he was not going to make his flight. We get to the airport and practically are running through with his luggage. I felt like we were in some kind of movie. The girls are cracking up at us. We get to the ticket kiosk right as they were putting up lane closed for his flight. PHEW! They took him Thank GOD! So we said our good bye's and tears. (I LOVE MY BROTHER SO MUCH, We will miss him). He was off on his flight and here the girls and I get to go back on the wonderful road. I thought surely traffic would be less by now. Nope, we got to do the hour and half drive back home too with bumper to bumper traffic sigh!
Rush hour I will beat you because Jen hopes and prays she does not have to do join you again anytime soon ;).
