Today was different...

I got the car today!

Well, that's not the only thing that made today different.  Charlotte slept from 330a - 9am, ate and then went back to sleep until almost 1pm.  I even got 8 hours of sleep, not consecutive but with only a 2 hour break at 2am.  I also got out of the house from 915am - 4pm.

Charlotte and I started out heading to MOPS (mother's of preschoolers) for the 1st time.  Samuel got to stay home and spend the morning with Daddy.

MOPS was fun, there was new friends and old friends, breakfast, COFFEE, and today a clothing swap.  I didn't find anything for Charlotte but left some of Samuel's old stuff.  Every other Thursday is now Mommy and Charlotte time.

After MOPS we headed home and Tyrone let me have the car for the rest of the day!  I dropped Tyrone and Samuel off at The Taco Place (I don't remember the real name) and headed to my mom's house.

Since I had the car I had to drive somewhere, I couldn't go back home, where's the fun in that.

Once we got to Mom's we had snacks.  Milk for Charlotte and Smoothie and Apple Pie for Mommy.  It was such a relaxing afternoon spending time with my sister and mom.

At 3pm we headed to back to pick up Samuel so Daddy could go to Homework Help.  Samuel wanted to go to Fred Meyer so in we went.  We spend way to much time there, Samuel knows the layout of the whole store and where the toys are.

I survived taking two kids to Fred Meyer for the 1st time by myself.  The hardest part was getting Samuel back in his carseat.  So I consider it a success.

By 4pm we were back home and back to our afternoon routine.  So overall today was a great day and I got the car!

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.

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...
