No Glasses Yet! & Dinner Party Recap

So Wednesday we got the call that Sean's glasses were ready to pick up. Doug, Sean, Ella and I went over to get them fitted during Doug's lunch hour. Sean was in a fun mood, he found a Christmas stocking that fell down off the wall in the waiting room so he pulled his socks and shoes off to put it on. {{{silly boy}}} When it was finally our turn, the tech pulled out the glasses and put them on Sean. I said, "Wait a minute. Those are suppose to have cable ear pieces." She looked at the order form and noted that yes it was supposed to be changed to cables. SO she wandered off to look for a pair to put on them. Turns out she only had one brown on in stock or a pair of black ones. The frames are brown so it didn't look good with black ear pieces. Now we have to wait for them to get ordered in.

Rats. I was looking forward to seeing him in his specks!

Also, Wednesday night was the company Christmas Dinner Party. Ella was a doll at the restaurant and no problem to bring along. All of our meal was cooked table side- very fancy! We had Shrimp Scampi, Cesar Salad, Steak Diane with Asparagus and Chateau Potatoes, and Bananas Foster. Great food, good to talk with adults (in person!) and lovely wine. The boys were great for the babysitter, they were in bed in their jammies and asleep when we got home at 9:30. Ellie said that Aidan even asked to go to bed! He also told her, "Usually a grown up sleeps with us." She told him that she was going to be right downstairs and could hear him if he needed someone and that we'd be home shortly to sleep with him. Cutie.

It sure was nice to go out to dinner someplace that doesn't take your order at a window....

Oh, and Ella just cracked me up. She sneezed, coughed and farted all at once! Ha ha ha!

I'm So Spoiled!

I had the best Mother's Day weekend! I feel so loved and spoiled that I want to say thank you again to everyone.

First, my lil dudes made me some gifts at school. Sean gave me a cute little watercolored box with a small jar of bath salts and a beaded bracelet. Aidan made a nifty photo clipper magnet for the fridge. Doug gave me a silver necklace with three little discs that have the kids names hand-stamped into them (even Eleanor's!) and the funniest cards.


My mom took my younger sister and I to a nail place for pedi's and mani's. Then she treated me to some new nursing bras. We also had a great lunch together sans kids! Luxury!

My mother & father-in-laws gave me the cutest and comfiest looking summer maternity dress from A Pea in a Pod! I can't wait to wear it!


Sunday, we went to brunch with my family then drove back home after our weekend there. The boys had fun mellowing out at home and playing with the neighbor's visiting grandson while I did a bit of painting in Ella's room. We had Mexican take out for dinner and went to bed early. Very nice day together.

Hope everyone else had an enjoyable Mother's Day!

Buh bye, Bob-bob! KAAAA-FLUSH!

Those were the words I heard Sean say a couple of days ago as I was sitting at the computer. I opened the bathroom door and saw him standing over the potty, watching the water swirl down the drain. With a big grin of excitment, he frantically gestured to me- the sink, the potty, the sink... the potty. I looked at the sink and noticed Aidan's cup that holds his toothpaste and Spongebob Squarepants toothbrush was knocked over. Wait a second, there is no toothbrush.

"Sean? Where is Spongebob?"

Sean claps, points to the potty and repeats "Buh bye, Bob-bob!"

Ahhhha.

Fast foward two more days, add in the 5 year old is "practicing" wiping his own bottom, at the expensive of half a roll of paper per potty use. I thought the plunger days wouldn't hit until he was a teenager spending too much time at the Taco Hut.

We have seven people coming for Christmas brunch and the downstairs potty is Out of Order. Buh bye, Bob-bob.
