>Thankful Thursday

>I almost forgot that it was Thursday!

*I am thankful for good doctors.
*I am thankful for my hubby. He was up most of the night w/Conner and I.
*I am thankful for my brain. I like to think and be challenged.
*I am thankful for all of the blessings that are in my life.
*I am thankful for motherhood. As hard as it really is, it is worth every second.
*I am thankful for Conner kisses...even if he only gives me kisses so he can wipe them off and hear me say, "Oh, please don't wipe that off"!

>So What Wednesday

>
Hopefully, this computer won't shut off.

So what if I have not wrapped one gift. At least I bought them.
So what if I want to go back to bed after the kids are up.
So what if I put Parker down for his morning nap yesterday and then convinced Conner to snuggle in my bed and watch tv.
So what if I really fell asleep while snuggling with Conner.
So what if I get stressed out. I have 2 kids, a husband, a home, a dog and a business that all need attention.
Parker's up. so what...just kidding. gotta run.

>I hate computers...

>my laptop is weird. It will work and then shut off. It's completely random and it's making me a little crazy. I need to update here but I don't want to start a post and then have it eaten b/c this thing turns off. I'll be back soon, promise.

>Once upon a time...

>Once upon a time, Parker slept. He would sleep 6 hours at a time and it was heavenly. I knew that I could put him to bed at 8 and he would sleep until 2, nurse and immediately go back to sleep until 6. Fast forward and he's 5 months old trying to go from tummy to sit and trying to crawl. How's he sleeping...like his brother. He is constantly awake and he doesn't want to eat but just be up. Part of it is teeth, his second tooth broke through yesterday, but the other part is a mystery. I'm so tired; I need rest. I need sleep. I've learned that once you have 2 children, napping with the baby is not possible because there are two of them. They rarely nap at the same time and they certainly do not go to bed at the same time. Conner would stay up all night if we let him. Parker likes to be asleep by 8. Hopefully, soon, he will start sleeping better again.

>Santa's House

>We took the kids to Santa's House this weekend. Prior to this, we took Conner to Northern Tools b/c they had this amazing ride on back hoe. He loved it and of course, we bought it. We told Conner that he had to tell Santa that he wanted a tractor from him or he might not get one for Christmas. He agreed to talk to Santa so off we went. Let me explain; there is a couple that lives just down the street. Every year they start decorating in September (I asked Mrs. Clause) for the holidays. They do it up right too! You can tour their home, which is decked out, and visit Santa in his workshop. Conner was exhausted; he didn't nap but whatever. He refused to sit with Mrs. Clause and we talked and talked about how cool and nice Santa was just so he'd sit with him. Well, he didn't like sitting with Santa but he did tell him that he wanted a tractor and he told him it had to be a big yellow one! I was proud. Parker didn't care at all. Next year, he will though.

Seeing Santa




Just around their place.






We decided that we'd make this a yearly tradition. It's much better than a mall Santa.
