Comfy chair

Oh My Gosh!!! I just had to put this picture up. I was just posting the last message when the phone rang and I went out to the living room and there was Murphy sitting in Patrick's baby seat!!! TOO FUNNY!!!!

Birthday weekend

So I am another year older and am feeling it now. I think I found some grey hairs too! I had a good birthday weekend. Friday a friend had a wine tasting party at her house so Mike was home with the boys while I went out. I carpooled with another friend and our husbands drove so that was even better. I certainly took advantage of that... had a little too much wine! But it was fun. Saturday for my birthday I got a pedicure which was nice and relaxing. We went to one of Jack's little friends' 2nd birthday party which was interesting. It was our first kids party. They were very thoughtful and made me a little birthday cake too. That night Mike cooked me a really nice dinner. Unfortunately I wasn't in the mood for the nice bottle of wine he got too, my own fault!

Sunday Mike's mom and Frank came out for the afternoon. We ordered lunch in and they got to play with Jack and Patrick. We got some nice gifts for Patrick which we appreciate very much.

Yesterday I went to this Mommy event at Babies R Us where they had games and snacks and you got a free 5x7 picture at their photo studio. It wasn't the best picture as Jack was being very stubborn and Patrick was fussing, but it's a cute photo of both of them and it was free! They also took a picture of Patrick which is soo cute! I copied it from the website so it's not good quality. They are both getting so big! Jack is saying more words now and Patrick is smiling and laughing. He's wiggling alot when he's on the floor too so might be starting to try to roll over soon.





This weekend is a trunk or treat event at the church so we might go to that if the weather is nice. I'll post pictures of that if we do.

MNO, Pumpkin Picking and lots of smiles!

I can't believe October is half over already. I love this time of year but it always seems to go by too fast.

Last night I had my first MNO (Moms Night Out) and it was alot of fun. It was with a bunch of moms from the Stroller Strides class that I joined and we got a tour of the Whole Foods store. I've never been there so it was neat to see and we got to sample some food AND wine! They have a very cool little wine bar area with wine on tap! A friend and I are actually going next week to "hang out at the grocery store"! Seriously though, it was really neat and you can get food from another area, like the bakery, deli, etc and bring it back to the wine bar and eat and drink wine. They have events and wine tastings so we we'll be frequenting that place more :)

Last weekend we took Jack and Patrick to a pumpkin farm where Jack picked out some pumpkins. Can't wait to make some pumpkin seeds! Halloween will be fun this year since Jack can walk and we can take him around to some houses. We still have to find a nice little neighborhood to go to since ours isn't really kid friendly.





Patrick has been getting more active and alert. He watches me and follows me across the room all the time. He is a happy baby and smiles and giggles alot. He's been sleeping well, most days.




Jack is a very good big brother - this picture was taken last weekend before we left for church.


Here's Jack on his way to bed - he LOVES his bear and blanket! (reminds me of Linus from the Peanuts)



That's it for now, hope you enjoy the pictures!
