Not so Handy manny

My neighbor/friend, Maggie bought Andrew a tool set, along with this hard hat and goggles for his birthday! Andrew wanted to wear them all day yesterday, but made the funniest face when he had them on, like he wanted to crawl under a rock and hide. I think he looks so cute but grumpy!!

Happy Birthday Andrew!

My little boy turned 2 yesterday!!! We didn't do anything exciting, just drove back home from Nashville, took a nap, then went for a walk. Andrew was super grumpy because he wouldn't sleep during the car ride, then I finally got him to nap at home and had to wake him up at 5pm. he woke up on the wrong side of the bed and was a terror the rest of the evening. Chad missed his flight home so he didn't get to see Andrew and I was alone all night dealing with a fussy boy. We tried to take a walk, but Andrew melted down halfway through and I had to walk back home carrying him/forcing him to sit in his wagon. He's definitely 2!! Happy Birthday Baby Boy!

Birthday Coffee

When Andrew woke up the morning of his birthday he immediately asked for cake and COPY!! He watches and sips while I have my coffee every morning, even though it's NOT decaf. My sister and I were upset when we realized at 7am that there was no coffee in the house. We decided to just jump in the car with all of us in our pajamas and go to Starbucks. We got the kids their own drinks (hot chocolate for Andrew) and they thought they were so cool. We let them play outside since Andrew was spilling his drink all over the place and they just looked so cute with their Starbucks cups.

Busy Days

Saturday was a busy day for us. Andrew was pretty fussy and actually bit Mckenzie's finger so hard that he almost removed it from the nuckle up...Yikes! They were in the backseat, so my sister and I had to listen to them both screaming the whole way home.

                                                                    No Way!!

Monkey's Treehouse

My sister and I took the kids to a great place in Nashville called Monkey's Treehouse. It's an indoor play place that was started by a mom who lives in my old neighborhood. It was so clean and fun for the kids and had an area for mom's to sit and watch a flat screen TV with their shows instead of the kids (AKA a place to go ignore your children while knowing they're safe)!!

Rock n Roll Momma

My sister in into 80's hair bands, so she and Charlie went out to go watch a Bon Jovie cover band Friday night. Andrew and McKenzie went to bed before they left, so I got to have some alone time with Merrick. He informed me that he's getting hair on his chin and will probably need to start shaving at about 8 or 9!!

Night Night

                                         That's my niece, a picture's worth a thousand words!!

After the kids were all bathed and in their jammies, they had fun playing with all of Andrew's new loot (birthday presents from Aunt Adrienne and Uncle Charlie) They played so well together this visit, except for the occasional "mine"! I think they all look so sweet in their PJ's!
