Ice Cream, You Scream.

We had a day last week when we didn't leave the house at all.
The kids were driving each other crazy so after dinner we decided to take them for some ice cream.

On the way home we saw a sweet old lady mowing her lawn, so we turned back and the boys offered to mow her lawn for her.

Her and her husband were so appreciative and I think they really liked having the company and watching the kids run around catching lightning bugs after they finished with the lawn.

It's so nice watching my boys being EXACTLY who I have dreamed them to be. I thought there was a chance they would complain or give up, neither of them did! They both couldn't wait for their turn to help with the lawn, Ethan wants to go back every week to do her lawn for her.

Star Wars Birthday Party

It's that time of year for the boys double birthday party!! Since I... I mean they are so into star wars that was the obvious choice of a party theme. It was so cute at the end of the party after the boys opened all their gifts and John says, "Well, what did Mummy and I get you?" They both shrugged. I said, "We got you this beautiful party, and that is your gift." They both hugged us and said thank you without even complaining that we didn't buy them anything, such gracious boys! Then John brought out their bikes and they went crazy!! It was the cutest thing. Happy Birthday to our wonderful boys, Happy 7th and 9th Birthday Ethan and Kaiden!

And of course, she did. Contractions started coming in very slowly and Mummy and Binx came over. We hung out, and hung out, and hung out and the contractions weren't getting stronger but slowly moving closer together. We all finally took naps then we started hanging out again. Finally at 12am we decided to go to the hospital. 3 cm dilated and I was admitted. Kindle, my bff of course came to the hospital as well. All our biggest supporters were there. Waiting for Baby Getting some well needed rest. Last moments before birth My contractions never got intense before the epidural kicked in, thank goodness. Somehow my left side didn't kick in so I could feel it all on that side, but because I have back labor and I co...
