Carson was so excited to get his birthday celebration off to a kick off start with his Dad's famous obstacle course. This year Dave went all out with a complete lined football field and everything football to go along with it. It was really amazing and Connor said on the way home, "Mom, that was the best birthday I have ever been too, can I have that too next time." Too bad his birthday always falls in the middle of a blizzard. One year I will let him have a summer celebration so he can experience the outside fun of a birthday party!
Connor running in celebration after he caught a touchdown pass. His victory run was a ton of fun. Nothing but pure joy and excitement in my little boys eyes. Well, I can't say nothing because their is a whole lot of pollen causing my son's eyes to blow up like golf balls. The poor thing you just feel so sorry for him and wish their was something you could do to take the itching, watery, painful irritations of allergies go away. We are using Claritin, Singulair, Zaditor eye drops, cool rags for his eyes, etc. We have closed the house up and I cleaned top to bottom to get rid of any chance of settling pollen, but it just isn't working. Moms of allergy kids....any suggestions for me!
Samara jumped in on all the fun too. It was really hard for me to try to keep up with her because Sunday was a bum day for me. I was completely wiped out from nausea and the normal tired strike that hits me at 12 noon sharp every day. It was also Mara's naptime so she was being a little difficult. Thank goodness my sister and bro in law were a big help. Jess actually didn't mind me laying on the couch while Dave had her bouncing around like a crazy girl on the big red ball. She had a ton of giggles. They also played parachute, did a pinata, had hot dogs and cake. By 3 pm I was exhausted and ready to hit the road. I ended up getting home and not getting up from the couch till bed and then from 5:15 -7 am I was in bed. I can't say I was sleeping the whole time, because insomnia is getting the best of me at 3am every night. The wondering mind just doesn't know when to quit. This is what it is saying: Should we stay, should we save money for a down payment on a house, should we just wait it out till next April, but how can I possibly think we can all live here when I don't even have a bed anymore, Why won't Connor sleep in his bed in with Mara, Will Don ever Mow the lawn, How can we put our house on the market if our front yard looks like poo, Can we ever finish the upstairs bathroom, How many nail holes do we have to patch, Will we get approved for a mortgage with just a contract that is not starting until July 1, Is this baby going to be a girl or a boy, what are we going to name this baby, I have tons of clothes to take to goodwill, when are we going to plant our garden, Can I really run the broad street run, Is this little bundle okay in my belly, My jeans don't fit anymore, should we try to build a house or buy one that is already done, are we ever going to be out of debt, is Don ever going to stop buying tobacco tins, did I pay all the bills this month, I think I forgot to use a coupon at the grocery store today, should I go back to get my $1......and the list just goes on and on. So thanks for listening. Does your little mind play tricks on you? Any feedback... should we save money for a down payment and live in a two bedroom house with a four year old in our bed and a new baby in our room to save money or get a piggy bank mortgage if they even still offer them to all have our sanity, YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE!
Connor and Mara built a tunnel with Daddy on Saturday while I took a nap(big surprise) on the couch. It kept them busy for a few minutes and then on to something else. The kids have been outside a lot lately which doesn't help Connor's allergies, but he is practicing to be a professional soccer player and Mara wants to blow and spill bubbles all day long. The fun continues here every minute of every day. I can't believe I am almost three months pregnant. Just where is the time going. I know I say that everyday, but as a parent there is nothing worse than seeing how fast your little ones grow before your very own eyes. I feel like each time I blink I have already missed a thousand little memories that go flashing by my face. I try so hard to not raise my voice, to let the little things go, to give more hugs and butterfly kisses, but sometimes the days are long and hard and when I go to close my eyes I have to jump back up and grab that last little butterfly kiss before I go to sleep. I love you little bugs and thanks for giving me all the sunshine in my life even when I may not always deserve it, I know you guys know in your hearts that mommy never fails and is always right there waiting for you both with arms wide open.
