This was a custom I did for a Father's Day gift for a friend in town & her 3 girls!

Lincoln's new trick

Imagine my surprise to find this sweet boy at my feet as I'm cleaning up the kitchen last night AFTER putting him to bed!! Do they sell lids to go on top of cribs :) I'm in trouble!!

Yesterday morning we went to the tennis courts at the park 2 blocks from our house. The boys love to run around & play with their toys in the wide open space. They also decided to stop and have snack while we were there.

This was this morning on our way to the commons. Hudson's sick so I decided we'd go take a trip early before anyone was there to let the boys get their energy out & then we wouldn't spread their sickness. No one was there and it was so nice & quiet. Hudson even climbed to the top of the maze!! He's always been so scared before but I think it was overwhelming with the other kids there. So today was his morning!!

They also sell coffee there so that's a mom win for sure!!

Can you see hudson's head all the way up there!!??

Weekend!

What a fun weekend spent at home with the 3 sweetest boys!!

And Hudson's animals of course!

Potty training at its finest!!

Water colors at breakfast!

Brought his looking googles to the store so he wouldn't miss a thing :)

Lincoln loves staying awake while hudson naps, he finally isn't being told what to do :)

Sunday Josh and I went for a date! We went on a slow bike ride - after all the tooth abscess I needed some fresh air!

We followed it with ice cream of course. Love you Joshua Chad!!!

Preschool fun @ Home

I'm trying to add some learning activities to our day. Hudson loves going to his mommys morning out so I thought I'd carry over some things at the house.

Today I had Hudson get some coins from his doggie bank aunt Jessie made him & sort them by putting the coins in the cupcake pan. He did really well!!

Weekend events

Had a rough weekend Friday I started getting pain in my tooth & went ahead and made a dentist appointment with a dentist in town for Monday. But I couldn't make it till then the pain was insane and on Sunday morning I ended up having Josh take me to a 24/7 dentist in Indianapolis. I had an abscess in my tooth & had to get a root canal and crown.

My fever is coming down with the antibiotic and the pain is still pretty bad but I'm hoping it ends soon. The pain of an abscess has to be up there with child birthing pain. Holy moly!

Hudson did some painting outside this morning, it's 69 degrees and no humidity so we decided we needed to enjoy it while we can!

Hudson went to get a water bottle out of door of fridge.

Me: Hudson how did you reach the water did you use your stool

Hudson: No mom I used my hands :)

2nd day of school

Boys had their second day of 'school' today & they did great!!

Lincoln got a sticker for being incredible his teachers said :)

Hudson took a field trip & walked to the library (2 blocks away) AND was line leader!! Mrs. Karen said he did so well and got to keep the flag that the line leader uses. He's pretty proud of himself & so am I!
