Saturday

Last night was a blast and the boys had a BLAST! They watched Yogi Bear with popcorn and Zane slept through the night whooo hooo!!! I came back home around 7 to feed him and then back to finish well... my sleep for a bit and then my projects I was working on! I only fed him again at 5:30 He did GREAT tonight we will see how that goes! Mike said he ate all day thought and the boy loves food! He tried a little formula and whole milk and juice and seemed a bit interested in all of the above so time will tell and I hope it all goes well! I am so thankful for Mike who is willing to help in this way and to offer support to me, hugs to Zane and still be and do all the other things he always does! Blessed with a good man I am! The big boys got a super cool surprise in the mail from Grandma and Grandpa Giusti that entertained them ALLLLLL DAY LONG with breaks for food, hugs and to come tell us when they defeated a level or gained another character so so so exciting and cute!
Winston and Bailey...







Friday!!!!

FABULOUS workout for ME! Zane got to play with his friends in the nursery and seemed to enjoy it! Then we met Stella for their first date! Picked up Walker and Mommy got lost in the garage for a little bit while the boys played downstairs! Daddy came home and I got to leave for a crafty night with friends, new friends who I really liked! We also started weaning Mr Zane last night. Mike went in at 2 when he woke up and thought he wanted to eat but with some Daddy hugs he went back to sleep YEA Daddy! Today we cut back to three feedings and tomorrow ... 2! hopefully!

Tues March 15

Today we woke up at 8:15... right... Mason's school starts at 8, Walker's starts at 8:15... so we were late and let me begin this again.... The boys and I (the second time) woke up at 8:15. Zane started my day at 5:00am which seeing that the time just changed we can call that 4:00 body time and he did not want to eat he wanted to ...play. After about an hour of playing about his room he went back to sleep and so did I. I woke up to morning breath of a four year old on my nose "Mommy I am cold and I don't want to get under the covers" so I encourage Walker each step of the way through his morning routine and he did it all and all by his self WOW! ~ Walker get your clothes on, OK now go get a cereal bar, OK now eat it, yes you can have another, now go brush your teeth, ok get your shoes on and get in the car! SO CUTE and what a perfect morning for him to obey Ahhhh and so I scoot Walker to school ... it is 8:45 by the time I return to find Mason sitting in the living room floor crying... "WHERE were YOU!" so I told him and walked him through his morning routine and then got him to school (9:15) and then off to Staff Meeting to Mommy leaving Mike and Zane in the care of Grams. Whew and notice there was no shower for the Mommy, hat on and teeth brushed but, sorry co-workers! On the way to staff meeting it was raining cats and dogs and I watched a car bounce between the guard rails on the opposite side of the road SO SCARY! Staff was wonderfully relaxing and pleasant then off to get Walker from school, home to feed Zane and then to get Mason from school all while having Radical playing off my ipod into my ear because tonight I have book club that I am co leading and haven't finished my book eeeeek! By the way GREAT book go get it and read it! Stopped and got Grams a coffee and then, showered and packed up and took Grams and the boys to Moms while I was off to discuss the book! I had a WONDERFUL time and discussion with fellow church peeps while discussing this book! Go Saturday night secret church hee hee!!! and with one of my favorite people before others got there! LOVE me some Connie time even if we are working! 9:00 at this point walking out the door, it's Mom... come get this baby and these boys and put them to bed, and I did! They crashed hard! I sang each one to sleep with a short back scratch and a kiss on their squishy sweet cheeks! FULLLL CRAZY Day with Daddy still in bed with temps in the low 100s and did I say I am suppose to leave in the morning to take my Grams home(which I do NOT want to do) and think it may be Thursday at this point I just do not feel good leaving Mike like this so cheers to tomorrow that it will be slow and mostly uneventful! Big Smiles! LOVE!
look how I found him playing!!! 

Monday! March 14

Daddy was sick sick so we had to stay out of the house and so we went to.... see the mouse. Not the best mouse but the only mouse in North Carolina. This is usually a place I try to avoid during the winter months because everyone is inside and has colds but instead of being cautious Grams and I took the boys and had a little fun! and it was fun! Grams bowled like a mad woman, I shot baskets that once again may reclaim my champion crown against Mike (I lost my grove after kids but maybe...it's back) and the boys played well...everything! I even let Zane ride the rides and crawl on the floor. Sooo next week when the five of us are all back in bed with some unknown sickness remind me that we went to the germ E cheese and frankly had a blast! here a few photos from the camera sorry they are blurry!

Thursday March 10

How far would you go to help those you love??? This little lady saved the day! We are in our second week of having Grams with us and needless to say I LOVE every moment of it but today I am not sure what I would have done if she wasn't here. I have not been sick for about two and a half years and today from 4am to 10 am every 30 min I was spending time with the porcelain thrown!!! It was awful! Grams swooped in with crackers and liquids and the best of had prime snuggle time with the Zaner! They have created quite the bond this time and it is precious I love watching it! The older boys got swooped up by their Memaw to a movie after school and Mike came home with a nice big COKE for me after work! I got out of the bed from 9 to 10 for a little American Idol and other then that Thankful for help I have been!!!!

This is me sick and you know how you know I am sick ... because until I went to post a photo I didn't realize my shirt was on inside out or backwards ...
