Monday- Layton, Will and I went to
Tupelo for groceries and a new car seat. Will has outgrown the infant carrier, so he needed a "big boy" car seat. We spent all morning looking for one and getting groceries at Kroger. Will sat in the front of the cart for the first time :) He did really well! I had one of those covers for him and it has toys attached so he stayed entertained in
Walmart. Kroger was another story, he cried so I held him on my hip while pushing the buggy. We got home just in time to pick up Laura Grace from school, put away the groceries, and take Laura Grace to dance. I came back home, cooked red beans and rice, cornbread, and green beans for dinner. My mother in law picked her up from dance for me so I could cook. Clay had to be at the ball field for the
tball draft (he will be coaching Layton's team this summer) so he got home later than usual. Me and the kids ate dinner, worked on homework, got baths, and then I put them all in bed. When Clay got home he helped me get lunches together and the house picked up. I watched television for a little bit and then went to bed.
Tuesday- Laura Grace went to school, Layton and Will went with me to Mother's Day Out. I worked until two and then Layton went to the pediatrician for his shots and well check up. We had Girl Scouts that afternoon as well. A dance teacher came and taught the Charleston to the girls for the upcoming Decades Daddy Daughter Banquet. My Daisy troop is representing the Roaring Twenties and will be flappers. They have cute little flapper dresses to wear and will perform at the banquet. Will had a great time bouncing to the music-on my hip of course. After Girl Scouts we went home. Clay had already gotten home and was working on dinner for me. We had
pork chops, vegetables, and rice. After dinner I helped Laura Grace with homework and then ran to the nursing home for Bingo Night. Junior
Auxiliary does a Bingo Night with the residents in a local nursing home and I am on the committee. I had a great time with some of the ladies there. They were so thankful to have a fun activity and the chance to talk to someone. After Bingo I ran a few errands and came home. I watched Confessions of a Shopaholic with Clay and then went to bed.
Wednesday- After Laura Grace went to school, I had a friend over to visit. Her little boy is one of Layton's
best friends and she has a new baby that is a few months younger than Will. We visited for several hours while the boys played outside. After they left I cleaned house and put my boys down for a nap. We picked up Laura Grace that afternoon and took Will to the pediatrician for his shots and well check up. We got back home around dinner time and I made a BBQ chicken pizza. We decided to stay home from church because I had a sinus infection, Layton was running fever from his shots the day before, and Will was cranky. It was a good night for everyone to go to bed early!
Thursday- It was crazy. I worked and all the babies cried most of the day. Everyone is suffering from allergies! During lunch I ran to
Arby's to pick something up and witnessed the FBI make a huge drug arrest. It was both fascinating and disturbing. Then I got home and the afternoon went downhill. Cranky kids and a sick mommy are not a good combination. I had promised to take them to the library so we went. Big mistake. Layton ran around everywhere, Will cried, and Laura Grace checked out nearly fifteen books. After the library we had another Girl Scouts meeting to finalize their costumes. Thankfully, Clay was able to meet me and pick up the boys. When I got home from the meeting, Clay had already cooked fried okra, butter beans, mashed potatoes, and
pork chops. It made my day! After dinner I fell asleep on the couch while Clay did homework with Laura Grace and put the kids in bed.
Friday- I spent the early part of the morning cleaning house. While I cleaned, Layton played and Will napped. After his nap we went to a friend's house for coffee and prayer. Both of us are struggling with allergies, feeling overwhelmed, and overall parenting. We had a wonderful time of prayer. I left feeling encouraged and uplifted! I had a doctor's appointment around lunchtime so I dropped Layton and Will off at my mother in law's office and went to the doctor. After my appointment I picked up the boys. Layton asked for a sweet tea so we went through Sonic before getting in carpool line. I picked up Laura Grace from school, got everyone home, and put Layton and Will down for a nap. Laura Grace watched a movie and I fell asleep on the couch. When the boys woke up I cleaned house while we waited for Clay to come home. When Clay got home we went out to eat with my
in laws. After dinner we put the kids in bed, I took a hot bath, and then fell asleep watching "Food Revolution" with Clay.
Saturday- I spent the morning decorating tables for the Decades Banquet. When I was finished, I went to several stores looking for camp chairs and a beach umbrella. I couldn't find anything I liked, but I did find some pretty ferns and flowers for the front of my house. I got home, ate lunch, put the kids down for a nap and am now blogging :) This afternoon I am going to work in the yard, clean my house, and then get Clay and Laura Grace ready for the banquet tonight. After the banquet we have a Sunday School BBQ. My
in laws are going to babysit for us, so I am excited!
