Happy Friday

Happy Friday everyone! We are trying to get back on track in our house. I have been off all week because of my long weekend, and Josie has been, lets just say, interesting all week as well.

Everything is a disaster right now. If she doesn't get what she wants right away, or we don't understand her, or she has water on her shorts because she was throwing water around, or I gave her a graham cracker instead of a nilla wafer, the world is obviously coming to an end. I'm afraid the terrible twos are coming fast, or its just an off week- we'll see how the weekend shapes up.

While I was gone, Nick and Josie had a great daddy/daughter weekend! Nick took Friday off so they spent the day together, and Saturday morning, they went to a special water workshop that Nick signed up for at Cosi and then back to the kids play area. Of course she had a great time, BUT she also embarrassed the shit out of Nick. hahaa, of course it happened when I wasn't there- always the way. There were lots of little ones running around and enjoying the workshop, and Josie decided to take a massive dump and cleared the joint out. Nick said it smelled so awful, all the other parents were checking their kids pants, so he finally had to own up and admit it was Josie! hahahahah I died when he told me.


passed out on the way home








always in my shoes...

I got home after 11 on Saturday, so Nick let me sleep in when Josie got up and then by 9 everyone was waking me up. Josie was so excited to see me and kept giving me hugs in bed, and said "get up, mama" and would try to lift me and pull the covers off. She is so sweet.



Markers are one of her favorite things. We had to buy the Color Wonder ones so she wouldn't draw all over everything. She plays with them every day. And we are trying to transition her from the high chair to her booster full time. She likes sitting in it, but its still a little short for the table. May need to stick something underneath to raise it a bit. 



enjoying the nice, cool weather



Oh yea, and she told me to "go away" the other day...I know its only just beginning...

Have a great weekend- we are busy doing fun things, so will report back later.

What we've been up to

I know we have been a little MIA- lots going on and this weekend is no exception. I have a big work event and will be working from sun up to sun down, Friday and Saturday, so I figured I better update now, because it wont happen on Friday.

I need to look at my pics to even remember what has been going on, time is flying by and I'm 32 weeks along and can't believe it.


Josie was all ready for the USA game last week and then we blew it.




not wanting to get up


Simba strikes again- I wanted to murder him

On Friday the 4th, we went to Cincinnati to visit Molly, Joe, Caroline and baby Tommy! We had yet to meet the little man and the girls needed to get back together, so we made a day of it. We stopped at the outlet mall on the way and then IKEA- wow, huge mistake. Well, not a mistake, because we found what we needed, BUT that place is so freaking huge and they make you walk through the entire building, EVEN IF the ONE thing you wanted, was right in the beginning. Smart how they set the store up, but damn it took us 45 mins just to walk through the place.

We finally made it to the Dolan's and Josie warmed up immediately. Caroline didn't really give her a chance, they were off playing, running, and trading shoes. Josie absolutely LOVED Caroline's heels. She wore them the entire time and would flick them across the room when she wanted to take them off. I don't think we will be getting any though- too much noise and clacking on the hardwood floors!



Caroline loves hugs- Josie, not so much! hahah


they said "cheeeeeeeeeeeeese" about 
a million times



bump heads- the aftermath


on the way home- big day and a tired girl

                                 

loves her water table




Jen and her family are on vacation this week, so Grandma is visiting and watching Josie, and I took Monday off and Nick will take Friday. I know he's excited for their big father/daughter weekend plans. I'm sure I'll get lots of updates and hopefully they'll be able to come visit me this weekend. 

Oh- and probably one of the funniest things thus far with Josie's new vocabulary and understanding is-- Nick tooted the other day, so she stopped, pointed at him and said "dada pooped". We died.
