We had such a fun, fabulous, super busy weekend! Right now, i'm so thankful that the weather is warmer and the sun is shining, because it's made me a much happier person! I've realized this year that i'm such a grouch when it is cold outside, and our family is much happier when the sun is shining!
Friday night, we took the girls out for pizza, for our annual Valentine's day dinner. DJ and I started this tradition when Gretchen was just a few weeks old, and we wanted a non-romantic Valentine's day dinner. We figured most people wouldn't be having a hot date at a pizza parlor.
Saturday morning we got up and I made pancakes. Then, I sat down to pump....
I typically only pump at work, but I'm needing to increase my supply, not only for Adalyn (we're leaving her with my mom for a weekend in April) but also, for a friend of mine who just adopted a baby. I was able to donate about 50 ounces of milk to her precious little baby boy this weekend, and i'm hoping i'll be able to donate more in the coming weeks and months!
Please pray for me that i'll be able to create a supply for two babies, and pray for the other moms that are donating milk to baby Nolan.
Later that morning, DJ left for junior day at the football offices, and I picked up the house a little and then our friends, The Thummel's, came over to bring Gretchen her birthday present. (They couldn't all make it to G's party.)
Then, our neighbors came over and we talked for a while before the girls and I got ready for the TU basketball game.
DJ and I haven't had a chance to take the girls to a basketball game this year. We've been so busy, and it's been so cold, and with working full time and having three girls, I feel like we never had the time! This weekend was perfect for us to all go to a game together!
Adalyn did great in her carrier the whole time, and even fell asleep!
Gretchen was really excited to go to a game, an I was very impressed when she cheered for the offense when we had the ball!
Bless her little heart, we are trying to teach her how to take a picture, and most of the time she never gets it "right" and always ends up with a deer in the headlights look!
Meggie had lots of fun at the game too! She was all about daddy most of the time, and enjoyed her popcorn and "slurppy". She was so comfortable at one point that she had her socks and shoes off, and ended up taking off both of her hair bows! But, she did get scared with some loud noises a few times. Bless her, she's my sensitive one!
After the game, DJ took the girls home and Adalyn and I headed to Target, and I had the best Target experience ever! It was just so calm and quiet. It was very strange and peaceful all at the same time.
Megan fell asleep on the floor (again) on Saturday night. I told DJ that I'm going to create a huge picture collage of her sleeping on the floor! DJ finally put her back in her bed, but she crawled in bed with us by midnight. I think DJ finally went to sleep in her bed around 1 am!
DJ and I watched movie Saturday night, and he worked on our taxes, and I worked on Frozen hair bows. I did a pre-order for these a few weeks ago, and i'm loving how they are turning out! I purchased a new piece to use as the bow centers, and I love them!
Sunday morning, we got up and went to church. Afterwards, we headed home for a quick bite to eat, and then Gretchen and I went to a birthday party for a little boy in her class.
Gretchen's friend Connor was there too. These two have such a funny little relationship! I first found out about Connor when she started to talk about him in October. They sit at the same table in class, and one afternoon, she told me she was going to marry him. They play at recess together every day! In November, she told him that he'd have to ask her daddy permission for them to get married (in front of the entire class and a classroom full of parents, because they were there for the Thanksgiving lunch) and there little relationship has grown from there! They have their wedding all planned out- Gretchen is wearing a pink dress and they're getting married at the beach!
His mom and I have been chatting on Facebook and exchanging the stories that we hear every day, and I told her that I had printed a picture of Gretchen and Connor from their Christmas performance, and she asked if Connor could buy Gretchen a picture frame for the picture, (because, G had wanted to frame it). So, after the birthday party, we walked out to their car with them, and Connor was so excited to give Gretchen the picture frame and little puppy dog that he had bought her from the Dollar Tree with his own money! It was so sweet!
Later in the car, Gretchen told me she didn't want to marry Connor anymore, but she did still want to be his friend. She said she was afraid if she told him, that she'd hut his feelings! And I tried to remind her how important it is to be nice to everyone and that it was totally okay if they didn't get married. They're 6 and 5 after all! But, then that evening when we framed her picture, she kissed it and put it on her nightstand! I think she's playing a little hard to get or just wants her mom to not think it's as serious!
We headed home after the party and the girls played otuside for a little bit. My mom came up and is staying with us until Tuesday.
DJ left yesterday to drive to Indiana. His cousin passed away this past week, and he's going for the wake and funeral, and I'm just a nervous wreck today because he's driving through ice and snow to get there!
Gretchen is out of school today, and I have professional development at school, so my mom came up to watch Gretchen. The little girls went to daycare, and i'm sure my mom and G are having a great time today!
After dinner last night, my mom took us out for ice cream. The girls love spending time with their Gee!
Before Megan went to bed (in her bed!) she told Gee, "stay at my house!" And then at some point she woke up crying for her Gee. I had her get in bed with me, but then she got up and found Gee sleeping upstairs in Gretchen's bed, and climbed in bed with them!
I hope y'all had a great weekend too! I hope you're enjoying warmer weather! I'm so over winter and ready for flowers and spring!
