My poor little baby girl can't stay awake long enough to finish her lunch!! I thought it was pretty quiet and I looked up to find this. She still has her hand in the bowl.
And this was from yesterday. Maybe the heat is getting to her or maybe she should sleep past 6:30!!!!
Or maybe I should stop feeding her mac n' cheese;) There must be a sleeping potion in it!!
It started out good. We went bike riding. Jordyn went down well for her nap so I was able to take a shower without her screaming at me. I did some weights with Makenna (she likes to mimick me so she was doing squats right with me). And then off to my presidency meeting. That's when it started going downhill. The kids went crazy. Makenna pretty much tornadoed through the house while I'm trying to listen and discipline at the same time (which is not easy) and Jordyn kept screaming because she couldn't push this doll stroller where she wanted it to go and then wanted to go outside when the other girls did. I wasn't about to let my one year old play outside where I couldn't see her but when she sees her sister go outside, she has a one track mind. So that led to a screaming fest and of course she didn't want me to hold her either like she normally does and when I could have easily done so since I was just sitting at a table. No, she wants that when we get home while I am trying to get the house cleaned up. She is having a major dose of separation anxiety. She hates it when I go to work. She clings to me and won't even let me go to the bathroom. I'm also cranky because I started a diet today because unfortunately I can't lose weight with just exercise alone! Crap!! And I hate to diet. But thankfully they went down for their naps very well so instead of cleaning the house and folding three loads of laundry, I'm sitting here on the computer and contemplating a nap of my own. How in the world am I supposed to keep up with all those cool crafty moms and do scrapbooks and fun stuff like that when I can't even get motivated to get organized and clean. It's not even that dirty but it's dirty to me. I don't even have my Halloween decorations out!! I'm just having a self pity day and I really need to prioritize what is really important!
We played hard today and we are all tired. But thankfully, Makenna crashed and is snoozing away as I type. I just wish I could get J.J. to sleep at the same time;) It has been so beautiful lately that we have hit the park twice this week. I figured we had to do as much outdoors as we could before it got way too hot which happens very quickly here. So if we weren't at doctor's appointments this week, we were at the park.
This is Jordyn's play time and it's how we usually start the day. Jordyn loves her exersaucer and will play in there happily while I workout. She just twirls all around and plays with all the toys or just watches me and laughs at me jumping around.
This is her favorite toy. She is constantly trying to get that in her mouth. She's teething so she is chewing on everything lately, including me;)
Makenna is at a hard age where she feels like she is too big for the 'baby' slides but she is too small for the bigger slides. So I usually get up there with her. For some reason, the person that designed these things, put big gaping holes with a big drop right next to the slides. She can get up there easy enough but I'm always worried that she will fall through these open sections when she's not paying attention, which is often;) I don't mind. I get to be a big kid and it gives me some extra exercise.
And this is when we have played too much when we crash in our high chair. I had just finished feeding her cereal and I was rinsing off her little bowl. I turned back around and found this. She is just so stinking cute!!!
