We spent last weekend freezing our little butts off in the wind and rain and doing a bunch of spring stuff with the kiddos. We hit up a few parks, soccer of course, and made our own watering cans out of milk jugs which have now become a bath toy. The boys have been living in rain boots. The red Spiderman ones were hand me downs from a cousin but the blue ones pictured above we got at Walmart and I've been really happy with them.
I realized this week that Mothers Day is only two weeks away and our Mom is extremely hard to shop for so I've started looking around for ideas for her so I'm not empty handed on Mothers Day. Started a Spring/Mothers Day board on Pinterest with ideas for the littles to make for Mom or Grandmas. Check it out if you need ideas. Also, I have been noticing that Shutterfly, Persnickety Prints, and a few other photo sites have some great photo ideas for Mothers Day. If you can't think of a good gift. Photos or photo gifts are always nice to give.
My baby currently won't sleep unless he is being held so we are also living in my Moby Baby Wrap from Target and my Eddie Bauer baby carrier. I love them both for different reasons but they have saved me when little gets fussy and wants to be close but my arms and back need some support. I put my coat on over the wrap or carrier and it helps us both stay toasty.
We went to the Zoo last weekend and baby slept most of the time and kept me warm to boot. So win win. The only picture I managed to get myself in was with this little otter thing that my kids like to call Mr. Otterton. (Zootopia) So, note to self. Next time a picture with something a bit more majestic maybe.
Also, in a last ditch effort to lost my baby weight before summer I started the Tone It Up challenge this weeks. 8 weeks of workouts until summer. I am so sore I can barely move but that means its working right. Its not to late to jump on in should you feel so inclined. :)
Happy Weekending!-Jordyn
