Quick Day!

Today seemed to just fly by, didn't it? Noah and I had so much fun with his blocks yesterday I decided we should get another set to add to them. Target is a dangerous store for me. I went in for blocks and came out with a lot more. I finally splurged on myself and bought 3 new maternity shirts... that are really just those long tees from the juniors department. I'm 6 months along now! I think I deserve a little something at least once a month. When I got home I realized I've been buying all the same color shirts... the light turquoisey greenish bluish tone. I tried to branch out and got a yellow shirt too, but it didn't fit right so I have to take it back.

I also got Noah his 4th of July outfit. I love the 4th of July clothes because red, white and blue really POP in pictures. The shirt has the pic of Uncle Sam on it and says "I want YOU to take me to the fireworks" it made me giggle so I got it :) Over at the one spot (the dollar section) I also picked up a little star shaped ice cube tray and a bug catching kit. As soon as we got home Noah wanted to catch bugs. We caught a lot of caterpillars, a grasshopper, a moth, and two other weird looking colorful creatures. Before naptime we let our captives go free and poured some pineapple juice into the star ice cube tray. That should be exciting for him tomorrow :)

We made some peanut butter cookies after naptime and then cooked dinner and did the dishes. By then we had just enough time to play with the new blocks for a good 30 minutes and then shower and head to bed. It doesn't seem like we did that much. Maybe it was the nap? Anyway... I'm going to start planning our roadtrip for the move to Ohio.

Thanks, Pam! I think after his haircut he just looks even cuter. Yesterday I had two ladies tell me he should be a baby model :O I just don't think I could ever be a model mom.

Target is always a dangerous place for me too. You look so cute pregnant. Since you have been buying lots of blue shirts do you think that it could be your mothers intuition that you are going to have another boy?????:)

Hi Christy :) Yeah Josh and I are pretty sure we're having another boy. I wish we could agree on a boys name! I think he's going to be a month old before we agree on anything.

Brit, Noah loves those animals too. He runs to them and tells me what all the animals are.

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl

Victim Triangle

Thought I would share this on here since I've shared it with at least 3 people individually at this point.  I've been working on  establishing and maintaining healthy personal boundaries  so any instance in my life where I have unhealthy boundaries have been really obvious.  Still not great at dealing with those instances, but I'm getting better all the time.  While I'm working, this keeps popping up at different times to illustrate my inter/intra-personal communication cycles that need to be broken. https://www.karpmandramatriangle.com/ The hardest part for me has been recovering from taking responsibility for everyone's emotional state.  I would feel immense pressure to involve myself in other peoples' triangles, thinking I had to play the mediator role.  I would get intense feelings of anxiety, thinking about their expectations of me to fix their relationship... or feel it was my duty to point out if I saw an issue (without ever being asked or expected
