HI HO, HI HO, IT'S OFF TO WORK I GO!

It's been a busy week! I started work on Tuesday night and it went great! It was fun to get out of the house, sit at a desk and 'work'. It was kind of weird and I almost felt naked without 3 kids hanging on me! But I am so far really enjoying it and thankful for the opportunity my ex-boss has given me! It's neat to be back with the company I worked for before we had kids. Plus it's a huge bonus to already have the knowledge of the computer system and everything that goes on! It only took a few minutes to remember everything...kind of like riding a bike :). I'll be working Tuesday and Wednesday evenings when I can...maybe in the future I'll pick up more hours. But for now it's working out great so we can all get adjusted. Brian, of course, is doing awesome with the boys! I think the boys are REALLY loving their Daddy time! I asked them this morning if they missed me and they said no! I had to laugh. Carter's doing good with the bottle too - at least that's what I'm told ;). I'm having a hard time though getting a milk supply...I'll have to work extra hard to get that supply up! Oh well, the job isn't super pressing, so if I need to leave I can. I am loving the flexibility! Yay! I better stop before this gets too much more babbly, plus the boys are needing me :).

New Adventures and Projects

We are able to cross off a couple things off our 'to do' list! Woohoo! We spent the weekend working on some projects that have been long waiting! We got 3 things done...well, mostly Brian did, but I helped a little :).

We got the swingset stained, the bench out front stained and the windmill and honeysuckle plant landscaping project done! Yippee!





Carter has also been enjoying some new adventures of experiencing the exersaucer and the Bumbo! He likes them a lot, but doesn't last too long. He's also been VERY cranky lately and I'm walking around with him all the time. It's been exhausting and I sure hope he gets over this crankiness soon! However, I've learned new things I can do with one hand and even my feet. Well, I learned these things when Mason came around, but I think I'm just improving my skills. Multitasking is my profession :).




Speaking of profession...

I'm headed back to work tomorrow! I was filling out some applications and I thought I'd email my ex-boss to see if she'd be ok to respond with being a reference. Well, she emailed back very quickly offering me a job! I'll be helping out in the evenings a couple times a week with office stuff - basically the same stuff I was doing over 5 years ago! I'm excited, but also nervous. I've been a stay at home mom for 5 years now, so going back into an office setting is a little intimidating! Also...I just hope, so much, that the boys will be good for Daddy while Mommy is out of the house!!! It'll be an adjustment for everyone, but we're excited about it! Wish me luck, as it will be difficult to leave my family!

McDougall's Apple Junction

We had a very successful family outing to our favorite spot in fall - McDougall's Apple Junction in Afton. We go there every year to pick out our pumpkins, see the animals and check out the little store. The kiddos also got a kick out of the look out tower this year! It was a blast...I absolutely LOVE these little outings we do. They're so special :).

3 Months =)

Little man is 3 months old already! Where did that go?! His newest 'tricks' are spitting bubbles, giggling, holding his hands together, and just being as cute and fun as ever! I'm LOVING it!



We were invited to a wedding last night for a good friend of mine from elementary school! I haven't seen her in 9 years (high school graduation) so it was an absolute blast seeing her on her wedding day! She was gorgeous and I was so excited to be there on her special day :).

On another note, poor Mason has yet another ear infection. Poor kid, he spikes the highest fevers too so it's really tough on him. Although, it's nice to have a cuddle bug ;). Even though I hate it when they're sick, all I want to do is take the pain away.

Other than that, life is good and I am hoping for a bonfire night tonight...I'll have to see how hubby's doing though. He's so awesome at making bonfires, it takes me about an hour to get one started! We haven't had one since I was 9 months preggo with Carter...it's time to have one :). We used to have them ALL the time and I want to get back into that habit. There's nothing better than sitting around a bonfire.

Until next time...
