Riding the Pink Pig at Macy's

This afternoon we decided to take the boys to ride the Pink Pig at Macy's in Lenox Mall. We had taken Landon last year and had a good time. The boys really enjoyed riding the little train and did really well despite the long line and the Christmas crowds! We ate dinner at the Food Court and came on home, the whole outing took 3 hours!!! Doing the mall thing with 2 little ones is no fun!

The wheels on the bus...

For Landon's 1st Birthday my Meme got him a ride on bus which he absolutely loved! And still loves! Logan is finally big enough to get on...when Landon allows him to!

A First!

The only time that Logan gets a bottle is when I am out doing something and I'm not there to nurse him. And I really hate missing a feeding, those of you who have breastfed can sympathize with the hassle of pumping and/or getting "full". But Saturday night I went to a shopping party at a friend's house and left the boys with Michael. Landon got his first time at feeding Logan! Michael said he did very well, and when he was tired of holding the bottle said "Logan is done now"! I thought these pictures were precious and I was a little sad to have missed this moment!

A Cold, Rainy Day Activity

Last year at a consignment sale I bought a set of tents with a tunnel and probably close to 300 plastic balls. I really hate the balls, they make such a mess and I am constantly finding them all through the house, even after I have cleaned them up a thousand times! BUT, they keep those 2 boys occupied! So, I keep them around because they have such a blast!

Mommy got to sleep in!

Last weekend Michael took the boys in the morning and let me sleep in for a little while! Being the sucker of a breastfeeding mom that I am, I still get up around 5:30am to nurse Logan. This is something I am working on though and hopefully will be pushing up slowly to make him last all night. Michael was sweet enough to take the boys and feed them breakfast and then play...I got a whole extra hour!!! And I think the boys enjoyed their Daddy time!

Just a thought...

Landon is a very particular child. He likes things a certain way and once he is in a routine, you can't break him of it. The "Easter Bunny" brought Landon some sunglasses last Easter. At the time, the Easter Bunny did not realize how much of an impact these "Cars" themed sunglasses would have on Landon! Now, as soon as we get in the van Landon has to have his sunglasses. He sees us wearing them I guess and now he's figured out he doesn't like the sun in his eyes at all. If we do not have these sunglasses all hell breaks loose! I really need to get another pair...maybe Santa Claus will pull through!

Monkey Joe's at Home!

Last Saturday we were cleaning out the garage and got out the inflatable pool that we had for the summer. It was still blown up, but being November we were not going to fill it up with water. So, we decided to fill it up with plastic balls! It was a real hit and attracted most of the kids on our street! Logan got in on the action as well, the big kids love to play with him.
