Weekend Recap

Happy Monday! Hope everyone enjoyed the weekend. I know we did, even though as usual it went by way too fast. We kicked things off on Friday afternoon with a trip to one of the parks by our house. It was the first time we've been able to go to the park without snow everywhere in months. Wrenn was ecstatic to be outside running around, climbing and sliding. Parker loved sliding down the slide too, especially when Wrenn went down beside him. We wrapped up the evening with a super healthy dinner of chicken nuggets and french fries for Wrenn and myself and yummy fruits and veggies for Parker while enjoying a dance party to "Happy". We love that song and they have a blast clapping along. 

Saturday morning winter decided to make another pit stop covering the ground with snow and dropping the temperatures back into the low 20s, which was NOT cool. We made the most of it with lots of playing inside Saturday and Sunday. We played bubbles, princess castle with dragons, ballet, cars and airplane just to name a few. It's been so fun the last couple weeks playing with both Wrenn and Parker together. I love how much they love each other and love being around one another. It just warms my heart! 

Lots of Love,

Silly Wrenn

Wrenn has been making me laugh out loud on a daily basis lately. Since it feels like I can't remember anything anymore (anyone else feel that way since having kids?!?!), I wanted to write down some of the things she's been saying so I don't forget. Here are a few of my recent favorites.

1. When I say something like, "Wait a second, you can't take a bath until we have clean-up time." Wrenn will say, "Oh ya, silly Wrenn."

2. I usually put her in her car seat and then let Dan tighten the straps, but yesterday I put her in and tightened the straps without his help. Wrenn said, "There you go, you did it! Great job, Mommy."

3. Instead of saying she loves someone or something, she says "I miss" them. She loves to say "Awww, baby Parker is sooooo cute. I miss him."

4. She loves to go around singing "Par-ker Buddy Big Guy, Par-ker Buddy Big Guy, Par-ker Buddy Big Guy". Simply music to my ears! : )

5. Yesterday was bath night, so I told her we were going to go home and take a bath. She said, "Yeah, bath time! Oh, I can't wait to get in the water!"

6.  When she gets up in the morning she says, "The sun came up! All the animals woke up, Mommy!"

7. Pretty much every time they pick me up from work Wrenn says, "I wanna go Target, Mommy".  And if we do go to Target, she typically says "Bye, Target. See you tomorrow." when we are leaving.  We may or may not have a bit of a Target problem!

Lots of Love,

Anthropologie - What's in Our Carts?

If you are like us you love to go into a store and grab everything you see that you like and walk around pretending you are going to buy it all no matter how much it might cost- even if it it means feeding your family ramen noodles for the next 6 months. Then reality sets in and you slowly start putting items back and walk out with just one or two things that were great buys or your "have to haves".  If you are like us you probably also do this online in the form of adding items to your shopping cart.  Your shopping cart turns into a grand wishlist where items will sit for weeks until you actually need to buy something from that store, at which point these items get moved to the "save for later" section of your cart.  But really isn't that what window shopping is all about!? Here's a look at what's currently in our Anthropologie shopping carts.
