Today's fun

I was reading a friend's blog recently and I noticed she is entering a daily post of her everyday adventures with her two wonderful boys. I can't remember if I have ever entered a "what we did today" post. So that got me thinking...why don't I do that every now and again. We sure do have some fun and interesting days with two kiddos now. Not that it wasn't interesting and fun before with Abby, now don't get me wrong. But life with two kids is VERY different. Thinking back when it was just Abby I had time to rest, eat and hey, even take a shower! Now, ugh I'm lucky if I get a shower much less eat a balanced meal. Does jello count as a food group? Oh and did I mention it takes about 20 minutes for us to get loaded into the car! Don't get me started on trying to grocery shop with a newborn and a 4 year old...just imagine my friends.

So here it goes, today's fun adventures with Abby and Seth!

The whole family (with the exception of Dan) was sick over the Christmas holidays. Poor Abby immediately was stricken with a bad cold which turned into a sinus infection within days. In a nutshell, 1st round of meds didn't work so now she's on her second dose. So we've been home ALOT these past few weeks and since it's been cold most days we've been inside. So today, Abby decided she wanted to "build" a vehicle to carry her friends to Sunnyside Day Care (hence, Toy Story 3 here!) So she decided to build her minivan with totes and her dress up chest. She has a wonderful imagination! We brought down several of her friends and loaded up for their road trip.

Once everyone was loaded up she hopped into the minivan and made sure that the DVD was on. Now how funny is that. I guess you probably guessed by now that we have a minivan with a DVD in it. :) They had to watch Dora of course.

Kit Kat (aka Hello Kitty) was allowed to ride shotgun! No one else...just her. Wow, she sure is special. I asked her why only her and her response, "because mommy, it's Kit Kat"...well there you go!

So off they went to Sunnyside with all their gear! It was fun and I have to say I ended up pushing her around the living room so they could "move" on the road. What a workout! And oh yes, we had to have potty breaks of course!


While all this fun was going on our sweet Seth was fast asleep. He's an angel and considering all the noise we were making he didn't wake up at all. :)
What a fun day we had and I look forward to what fun tomorrow or the next day might bring!

  2. Aw, your kids are so sweet! And Abby has an awesome imagination to boot! It's important to remember the fun times during the day - with Rylan being sick, all I want to focus on is the bad stuff but good things happen too! Every day :).

  4. Great idea Denise! Don't worry there will be a time again when you can eat and take a shower, but enjoy the chaos for now. It goes by way to quickly. Hugs to you and the kids!
