A little of what we have been up too and time for some more Mom Confessions...



So I have been a bit more slow at blogging lately, and that is mainly due to Easton. I can credit about all my time lately to dealing with his behavior, researching how to handle a 3 year old or having a glass of wine to keep myself from going crazy! 3 is proving to be way worse than 2 for me, and well we arn't even to to 3 1/2! Everyone should start praying for me! ;) and for Easton if you ever want to see him again! :)

So back up a few weeks, and Drake and I went to San Francisco for the Niners Opening game in their new stadium. It was so fun to be back and see the finished product of what Drake worked on for 3 years out there!

*** Confession here would be that I was most excited to be getting on a airplane all by myself!! NO KIDS!! I watched a movie, read a magazine and slept on the plane!! It's been a while since that has happened***

Drake back with his crew!! 

Stadium Tour Day! 

Game Day! 

It's a beautiful Stadium! 

Can you find me?? Watch out!! :) 
 

Then we came back and we spent the week with my parents, they got to stay till this past Sunday! It was so nice to have my mom here and an extra treat to have my dad here too when he didn't have work stuff!

We went to the Falcon's game on Thursday, which was fun! My parents brought them good luck! ;) We also got to go to a dinner two different nights!

** Confession, I got to leave my kids 3 nights in a row with a babysitter! I didn't feel bad for one second, I love kid free nights! ***



I got some shopping time with my mom and she got the boys some Halloween pajamas! And well since I am going to be gone for two weeks at the end of October, I have no shame in pulling out Halloween pajamas in mid September!

*** Confesstion, McCoy has been wearing them since Labor Day weekend since I got his out of Easton's buckets!! Never to early for holiday stuff***


My mom also made me some freezer meals, so now I don't have to cook, just pull out  the meal and put in the oven!

*** Confession here is, that I have no shame in my mom still cooking for me and I will admit it's been hard cooking lately with Easton grabbing everything off the counter and McCoy opening up ever cupboard and pulling out the whole kitchen***



We have been running on empty tanks with all that we have had to do lately, so one night Drake went to put Easton to bed at 8pm and well this is where I found him at 10:30pm!


*** Confession here is that I was annoyed with myself, that I didnt' offer to put him to bed that night, so I could have gotten those 2 1/2 extra hours of sleep***

I am out of pictures, and well that is because my child ( I am sure you can guess which one) dropped my phone and shattered my screen the other day, so pictures are just not as fun when you have to look through about 100 tiny squares of cracked glass! 

** Confesssions... I don't know that a 3 year old and I are compatible., this is more a TRUTH! Easton and I can't seem to get on the same page on anything, and I am trying my hardest to understand and think they way he does, calm myself before I speak at times, and pray for patiance daily, but currently none of this is helping the two of us, and then my cracked phone just sent me over the edge! Yes, I lost it! ( Mainly because minutes before I asked him to not pick up the phone after he asked for the 100th time)***

*** More confessions, I am currently hiding cake and cookies in places I know my kids can't reach so that I have sweets for just myself, and I don't have to share! *** I am over sharing everything with them! :) 

To end on a "I might be a good mom on some days" note, I am finally getting to enjoy some one on one time with my McCoy Boy! Last year when McCoy was in school, he was just napping or sitting there, so this year we are getting to go to actually play together! It's fun to enjoy him on his own and to learn some of his likes and dislikes! So here we were at the park today.. 



Hope everyone has a great week!

  1. Dude. We have a "good listener jar," time outs and about 80 conversations each day about being kind. I get exhausted daily by the constant tantrums and emotion that happens. It's ridiculous and overwhelming!
