Rough Day

Today felt kinda rough, it didn't start out that way.  Today started sunny and lazy.  I had the day off and love days off to hang with Samuel.  On my days off I'm not as tired and we play a lot harder.

So we got up opened the curtains and let the sun in the living room.  Tyrone make pancakes and sausage for breakfast.  We had a wonderful family breakfast while watching the Price is Right.

After breakfast it was play time and before I knew it, it was nap time.  Since I didn't need a nap I should have done some chores but some how they didn't happen.  So now's it 8pm and I'm regretting it.  My dishwasher needs unloading, my laundry needs to be done, and I didn't even cook dinner.

I did have one major accomplishment, I took a shower.  Any parent of a toddler knows that a shower is an amazing accomplishment.  So after I finish this blog I'm going to get off the couch and start with the dishwasher.

Did I mention that Samuel is popping molars left and right, and has a little cold.  He's also has started throwing tantrums.  So today was kinda rough after he woke up from his nap.  He's sleeping for now...

    i remember that one of the biggest decisions to make ever day when my kids were tiny was whether to eat breakfast or take a shower... couldn't usually do both...

Baking with Samuel

Tonight, Tyrone took Charlotte to run errands, so that left me and Samuel to spend time together.  First we had to clean the kitchen and pick up toys, then it was time to make cookies. Samuel is Ready! Samuel loves cookies and watching me work in the kitchen, so tonight I combined the two to make Snickerdoodles.  I haven't had very good luck making GF Snickerdoodles, they always seemed to run.  One time I improvised and made them in muffin tins, they kinda looked like reverse volcanos.  Thanks to the yummy ones my friend Megan made, I thought I'd give them one more try. I used this recipe from Betty Crocker,  Snickerdoodles , I just modified it with Brown Rice Flour and Xanthan Gum.  I think the Xanthan Gum was key,  I'd been out for a while and finally had some, what a difference. Snickerdoodle Recipe 1 Cup Butter 1 1/2 Cups Sugar Cream Together 2 Eggs Creamed and ready for flo...

Family Movie Night

Last night we had our 1st Family Movie Night.  Samuel can almost sit still for about 30 minutes at a time, so I figured he was ready.  We borrowed Cars from my dad and finally got to watch a Blu-Ray movie in our new Blu-Ray player.  Cars seemed like Samuel's speed, he loves Thomas and Friends and cars with faces can't be that much different than trains with faces. Family Movie Night was like embarking on a new adventure, could 3 people with very different tastes and attention spans enjoy the same movie?  Turns out we can for about 30 minutes. At 8:30pm dressed in our PJs we all climbed in to bed and started Cars.  Samuel was so cute sitting between Mommy and Daddy.  He was watched very intently as the cars raced around the track in the opening credits, he identified the helicopter as an airplane and watched for other things he could name.  He tapped his hands to the music and wanted water just like mommy and daddy had.  This family bliss laste...

3 Weeks Yesterday...

As of today I have been the mom to two kids for 3 weeks and 1 day. Wow!  There was a point in time where I thought I'd never have kids.  After we got married we still thought we wouldn't have kids.  After a year and a half of blissful married life, we had a miscarriage.  This got us thinking, maybe one kid would be kinda fun.  Samuel was born two months after our 3rd anniversary. Samuel was so much fun.  A cute little person to hold and love, to explore the world through his eyes.  He fit right into our life.  He was almost too relaxed.  Samuel wasn't big on eating so he slept alot and didn't gain much weight at first.  Once we got the weight gain on the right track he was still an awesome sleeper.  He started sleeping through the night at 2 months.  He almost never cried and was happiest playing on the floor. After Samuel turned one, we thought we had this parenting thing figured out, so why not try for another...
