Last week at home.

I really tried hard this week to get some stuff done that I had wanted to get done since it was my last week at home. Monday, I took both kids to daycare for 6 hours with the intention to come home and clean the house. But at 9, I started getting a terrible headache, took some medicine, and laid down and didn't wake up until 2:15. Therefore, the only "stuff" that got done was sleep for me!

Tuesday, Carson was in the bed snuggling at about 7:30 and proceeded to tell me he wanted to stay with me and snuggle and watch Dora so that is what we did.


Wednesday, I took both kids to daycare for a half of a day while I ran some errands.


Thursday, Carson went to daycare and I spent the day with Braxtynn. We did a lot of rocking and talking and snoozing but it was a great Braxtynn and Mommy day.


The day I think I was looking forward to most was yesterday. Carson and I woke up, got Daddy off to work, ate breakfast, got ready, and dropped Braxtynn off at daycare. We then headed to the mall to Build a Bear Workshop. This is the first time Carson has ever done this so I was really excited to take him. He absolutely loved picking out his animal. We ended up with a dog. He picked out a talking contraption that goes off when you squeeze his hand, he kissed and warmed up the heart before putting it in and then we stuffed him. Carson named him fluffy. Carson insisted we get the Batman outfit for Fluffy but I talked him into the Pirate jammies instead. ( I really didn't want Fluffy to cost more than our groceries for the week) We then did a little shopping and headed off to the "Chicken Nugget Store" known to you as McDonalds. After our tummies were full, we came home and played. We had an absolutely perfect "Mommy and Carson" day. Carson then went and spent the night with Nena and Braxtynn went to one of our friends house so Cory and I could go on a date. We went to dinner, a little shopping, and a movie. We LOVE our kids to death but it is nice to get out by ourselves once in awhile.






Now, tonight, I am doing all the laundry and believe it or not, ironing my work clothes for this next week. I have enjoyed immensely being at home with Braxtynn but am ready to get back to work and be in a routine. I am sure I will write early next week to tell you how it is going but think of me on Monday.
