Adventures of the Stay at home Mom of 2 boys...Day 1

So really this would be day 2 because Clay was at home with us last Wednesdsay because there was no school... but this is the first day or the first full week of being home. I dare not mention school with Clay around for awhile as he is pretty attached to his friends. Lots of playdates will need to be planned which is great because then I get to see all of my friends too!

Day 1 has been great....

we woke up and stayed in our jammies for an hour or so while we relaxed and had some breakfast (I am a little sick right now so super daddy took care of the boys first thing this morning- he's AWESOME!)

Clay and I made a craft - you know i love crafts! (see pictures below)

Played with Cullen on the floor... little man is getting so big already! active and opinionated, just how I like em! Love this early stage but really can't wait for him to be more interactive with big brother, i think they are going to be great friends!

got dressed for the day and headed out to run a few errands (shopping carts need to be much bigger to fit a baby in a car seat and a toddler in the seat of the cart - there is NO room for the things you are actually buying)

Thinking Clay would fall asleep in the car and I could get a nap in, we drove the long way home only for clay to stay awake the whole time and want to watch a movie when he got home. We watched 1/2 of robots then headed to bed where my little darling is now asleep. My littlest darling is asleep in his crib as well which means this momma is headed to her own bed for a few minutes of shut eye.

Have a great rest of your day!

1 Month and Still Going Strong

Cullen turned 1 month old yesterday!!! We cannot believe that it has been a month already and at the same time feel like he's been a part of our life for so much longer than that. He is such a sweet little boy and is much more alert these days (when he's awake). He is focusing on objects a lot more and making all the cute baby faces including a smile with dimples to go with it! not sure where the dimples came from in the gene pool but they sure are cute. He is sleeping pretty well and giving us a 5 hour stretch most nights which is awesome! Clay is loving being big brother and is very proud and protective when he gets dropped off at school. He pushes Cullen's stoller up to the doors each day and tells his friends in the classroom that they can look but stay down off the stroller. Very sweet that he is already the little protector.
