   That's what I received FROM JACK. Say what???????  I wasn't ready for that one! Man he is only 2-1/2 GOING ON 30! 

   
   

   Here's the story...

   
   

   Friday after getting back to the gym after a TWO WEEK (yes two) hiatus. 

   
   

   THEN going to the grocery store with a screaming baby. (yes screamed through the entire trip) 

   
   

   Oh and did I mention it was pouring down rain when we walked out??? YEAH IT WAS AWESOME

   
   

   Ok... I'll get on with it. So we are ALMOST home and I completely zoned out listening to music and the I hear, "Mommy! Answer me! I am talking to you!" What? Say What???

   
   

   He then went on to tell me that he asked me what kind on truck just went by and that it wasn't very nice that I didn't respond to him.... 

   
   

   I then put my tail between my legs and apologized over and over telling him how right he was... of course he asked why and who knows what I came up for that one. 

   
   

   Guess I need to get on top of my game..... Yikes! I've said this once and I will say it again. He is way too smart.....I'm in trouble...

PLEASE EXCUSE THE MESS....

…. Story of my life.

But you know what… I am so over that!

Hi my name is Emily Buckland and my house is a mess.

Sometimes I feel like I should have anyone who walks into our house sign a liability release for the chance that they could step on a little car. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!

As Jack would say, “We play hard.”  It has taken me quite a while to get used to the stay at home mom routine with two kids, but I’ve got this gig under control now! I mean it only took me a year… YIKES!

I have noticed that the days I really go in to clean up mode are the days I feel so sad because I barely got to play with my boys! Now, don’t get me wrong, I know that doesn’t mean if you have a super clean house that means you never play with your kids. But in my house that pretty much goes hand and hand. I’ve NEVER been the most organized person and I do enjoy my quiet alone time during naptime occasionally. In my life sitting still without answering a “why” question in GOLDEN!

WRAP UP….

I am making a major effort to take a moment at the end of the day EVERY DAY to look around and see how much fun we had instead of what a mess we had.

It’s the little things, and I plan to treasure them! They will be old enough for chores soon enough ;) 

It's picture day....

Well... after many requests............ here you go... this is how fat I am as of now... 26 weeks :)

And now for Jack's school pictures!

This one gets me every time!

Proud DaDa Proud MaMa

We had some special "proud Parent" moments last night and this morning. Last night I told Jack that is was time to go to bed and he went and grabbed his football and headed towards his room, because he HAD to sleep with football last night. It then continued to the morning because football HAD to be on his tray while he ate breakfast. It seems that now our football will be going everywhere with us. Can we say proud DaDa????  

Now it is time for MaMa to brag. Our big boy ate his whole breakfast by himself with a spoon. It wasn't the cleanest breakfast (although much cleaner than expected) but it made us both VERY proud. He ate with the biggest grin on his face!

We had baby spoons but they were so long and the actual spoon surface was tiny so I have been on a mission to find new ones and came across Gerber's safety spoon and fork and they did the job! He was able to control it so much better!!

Last but not least..... here is a picture for everyone who asks if Jack is ever not smiling.............

He was NOT in the mood for me to take a picture.....

This weekend we made a LOT of progress!!

Our Little Fishy

This weekend Jack went to the Lake and with the help of his cousins, he became very friendly with the fish! Every time he does it, I crack up! I love my little Fishy!

Well hello Monday morning.....
