But never have I been a blue calm sea I have always been a storm.

Spencer's birthday on the 6th.

His brother came over and we got pizza and ice cream and hung out :) 

"She loves to watch: My brothers

She loves to eat: Salad

She loves to listen to: Me read my group books

She loves to spend time: Working on her computer

She loves to go to: Walmart

"I love you with all my heart. And you are the best mom ever. I love you so, so, so, so much."

After Grandparents Day my mom ate supper over here and taught my kids "the money game" that we always played with my (her) grandpa Joe.
The game is just holding up a dollar and dropping it and if you catch it you keep it haha...

Your supposed to catch it with your thumb and pointer fingers but they cheated just like Im sure we did :) 

Pillow fight.

It rained quite a bit so I missed days...I have some from Saturday (rummaging...I forgot to turn my watch on until we were almost done, ughhh. And then today. But Ill use those for the next update! :) )

last week

This kid. He has always slept so cute/funny.
Speaking of sleeping...Bodhi broke his crib. Now he can escape. For naps as soon as I get downstairs I hear him get up and run into our bedroom. He turns on my sound machine and gets all cuddled into our bed...which would be totally fine if he actually fell asleep!! But Ive checked on him after and hour and hes still just laying there awake listening to the sounds. So its a a been struggle to get him to stay in his crib lately.

*Also if anyone has tips on how to get a kid that was fully potty trained but now poops his pants like everyday to stopppp please tell me

...Bodhi just smashing his head into their tower to knock it down....

Im getting "flowers" from the kids daily.

Can someone explain to me why they put pebbles on some playgrounds? They are slippery, they are dusty and dirty, and both my boys just wanted to eat them when they were babies. I hate them! Obviously the kids dont care but for parents they are just annoying...

So I tried running a few times this week and found out the stroller shakes like crazy. Spencer suggested I lock the front wheel since the trail is straight so Im going to try that but it that doesnt work Im going to try and fit in runs by myself after Spencer gets home from work. And on weekends.

Spencers birthday is on the 6th! :)

So tomorrow we leave for Alikah's birthday in the Dells! I got everything packed today, just need to shower tonight and add the bathroom stuff. 

We have to stop at the store on the way so I can sneakily buy some birthday decorations for the hotel and some swim diapers and then well be on our way! Im really excited. Shes going to be so happy. 

Its finally been nice out so Ive taken the boys on an hour walk everyday while Alikahs at school. This is our route. (I blurred names okay its a wooded path in the middle of nowhere Im not takin any chances lol)

I was kind of nervous about how the boys would be -- weve taken them to two 5Ks and they were horrible -- but theyve been great! (Knock on wood) First day they both napped, 2nd day Bodhi napped the whole time and today they just talked the whole way. They even ask me when were going for our walk now :) 

So my plan is to post this at the end of every week now. Hopefully Ill be able to go alone sometimes, get faster, go farther. Since this was our first week out I did just walk, I didnt even strap the boys in so no running was involved at all...
