Since last week was my first week back at work, I spent the week getting adjusted to our new schedule. I blogged about Monday & Tuesday here. I had to work Wednesday, and DJ offered to take Megan and Adalyn to daycare. It allowed me about 10-15 extra minutes at the house, so I gladly obliged. It also helped me to not cry when I had to leave Adalyn!
I spent my day at work getting data sheets typed and finalizing my schedule, and I was able to meet a few of my students. I'm just so excited about how nice and helpful everyone seems, which is a far cry from last year!
Addy and Megan had school pictures on Wednesday, so I dressed them in their little pink chevron dresses my mom made. I think they took pictures together, but Meggie didn't smile, and then I think they tried to take pictures of just Megan, and she apparently had to sit in her teacher's lap. Wonder how those will turn out?
We had Children's choir at church Wednesday evening, so after dropping G off, Meggie, Addy, and I headed to the playground.
I left my sling at home and had to carry Addy the entire time... not the brightest ideas on my part.
Thursday was a home day for me, and I think i'll enjoy being home every other day! DJ was able to take Megan to daycare, and because I didn't really want to get out, I let Gretchen ride the bus.
I spent Thursday picking up a bit around the house and catching up on orders; stay tuned for that blog post this week! I have so many new projects to share!!!
Addy stayed in her pj's almost all of Thursday. I may have too. She was actually happy and almost fell asleep in her swing, so I had to take a picture to mark the occasion! She hates her swing! Well, she may sit in it for 5 minutes without crying, and then she's done.
I had to wake her up to go get the girls from school and I absolutely hate doing so. She was so peaceful sleeping!
Yes, I let her sleep on her belly during the day.
I thought it would be fun to share an outfit pic.
I had to get out of pj's to pick up the girls from school and DJ and I decided we would all go out to eat, so the afternoon called for real clothes.
Shorts: Coral linen from Old Navy.
Shirt: Navy from Old Navy
Scarf: Leopard from Wal-Mart (#score)
Shoes: Gold Metallic Wedges.
I decided to pick Gretchen up from school first on Thursday.
And this is me celebrating a quiet, non-fussing child while i'm in the pick up line at school!
Because, this is what she usually looks like:
Thursday, we went to eat at Chili's as part of a fundraiser for Gretchen's school. I again forgot my sling, so Addy spent the first few minutes of dinner in her carseat. Then, I held her while we devoured chips and queso. As soon as our food came, Meggie announced she had to go potty, so DJ volunteered to take her. Gretchen decided she wanted to go too, and DJ looked at me and said, "I can't take both of them at the same time." And I just laughed because I thought to myself, "I do!" I told him to let Gretchen use the women's bathroom by herself, and that he could Megan in the men's. He made it back to the table with Megan, and was headed back to get Gretchen when she appeared at the table herself. Addy had fallen asleep, so I placed her back in the carseat and managed to eat one fajita before she started to cry. I held her while DJ ate a fajita, and then we passed her over the table, and I ate another fajita while he held her, and then I took her back so he could finish eating. It was a lovely game of pass the baby.
Megan started fussing at the end of dinner, and I was thankful that we were able to head home for bed. It wasn't a bad evening out, but I'm convinced that restaurants should have separate rooms for families with kids. Just shove us all in there, let our kids go crazy, and then we won't disturb other patrons... like those on dates without their kids.
I washed my face Thursday night and discovered that Megan had put her babies to sleep.
In our bathtub.
Friday morning I was able to sleep until 7:30, and it felt so late! I got up to help DJ get Gretchen and Megan ready for the day. Gretchen didn't have school, due to professional development day, so she went to work with DJ. He dropped off Megan at daycare and I kept Adalyn home with me until I had to head in to work.
And, another outfit picture:
Because i'm finally getting dressed again, I might as well share.
Dress: Old Navy
Because of the length of the dress, and the cooler weather, I paired the dress with my skinny jeans (cuffed, because of my own sensory issues) and a pair of flat sandals from Target.
My look was comfy/cute. Oh, and post baby belly coverage.
And, thank you to Erika for pointing out that I had not been to a Dallas Mavericks hockey game, but rather to a Dallas Stars hockey game. Apparently, I'm only familiar with football mascots. Other sports aren't as important in our house.
