Free Write, New Challenge & 6 Photos

 I totally missed Friday's Free Write!! I thought about it off and on all day but woke up this morning surprised it was Saturday already. So here we go.

The only thing I can think of it how easy its been becoming a mommy of 3, a family of 5. I know I posted about it probably more then once about how totally scared I was about having a newborn and 2 toddlers. I was VERY nervous. I was worried that Garrett would be so jealous of any one holding Blaine. He is oober jealous if Logan or I am holding Ellie.. So of course, my thoughts were ligit. I wasnt to worried about Ellie being a problem because she was excited about baby.

So we get home..... It has been 2 weeks... And I have to admit, my worrying and stressing was for nothing.. The transition from 2 to 3 has not be hard at all. Garrett is not a jealous monster. In fact he keeps his distance most of the time. There have been moments lately that I can tell by the fussing that he wants me to hold him while Im feeding Blaine. Think I posted before about him learning to say baby in like a week.  Ellie is pretty good too. She wants to hold Blaine a lot, least till he farts on her, then she freaks.. Good thing I sit right next to her and help hold him. She loves giving him kisses as much as she does Garrett..

The biggest thing I have had to deal with since being home is the fighting between Ellie & Garrett. The screaming, yelling and hitting.. Im so over it!! I think Garrett is warming up on the Terrible 2's although I REALLY hope the hitting phase ends before January.. (Thoughts, prayers and suggestions to ending hitting greatly welcomed!)

---------------------------------

Seems like October had really drug by. I have no problem with this really. I think the big reason it seems to drag on is because the town we live in had the Halloween  Carnival on Oct 1st! So since Halloween is at the end of the month, my mind keeps thinking it should be November already.. lol But like I said, Im ok with it still being October.. Gives me that much more time with my newborn and my monsters.

Yes, a video challenge! How weird this will be. I hate my voice on video/recording. I sound 12 yrs old.. I also had being on video because I usually look a mess.. But hey, maybe this will give me the boost to get my self put together and look good, even if it is just long enough for the video.  I am going to try and start this this next week (Monday)

Fashion Fridays?!

 Alright, so I had said I was going to make Fridays my Fashion Fridays... Well , I lied! I am not fashionable and hate taking my own pictures.. Soooo. Ive decided to make it Free Write Friday. It will be a lot easier for me to write about whatever, rather then something like Fashion.

Here goes-

My Friday was pretty good. I woke up to early and fell back to sleep maybe 45 minutes before my alarm went off.. Then of course didnt want to get out of bed. Some how I still managed to get myself and the 2 monsters dressed, hair fixed, diaper bag packed, etc all done by 9:30 when our ride showed up. Our ride? Today was Payday, also known as grocery shopping day.

Did you know that some people in the world go to the store every day to pick up when they need for that nights dinner? Did you also know that some people buy a fews worth of grocery at a time? How do I do it?? Living in BFE with one small, expensive grocery store really makes things hard. We, humans, can adapt. We drive 1 and a quarter hours away to go grocery shopping. We buy food for a 2 week stretch!! Do you know how hard it is to organize a shopping list for 2 weeks? Well its horrible when you are someone like me who is not an organized person at all!!

Today was Janessa's turn to drive (we alternate every 2 weeks who drives). We loaded my kids carseats into her truck and were on our way.. Some how we have managed to have 2 peaceful trips to and from town lately.. The kids have both been pretty good and slept in and out.

Grocery shopping was smooth today. After eating salads  at Red Robin, we headed to Walmart. The kids were pretty good for me. They fought with each other some but in general they were good.
Hugs 
and Kisses!

After Walmart is usually Cost Co. That was a pretty fast trip. Since we didnt have any extra stops to make today (ie; JoAnns, Michael's, Mexican store for Carine Asada) we were done shopping pretty early and were home by 5-ish.. We usually dont leave town till 5-ish, so this was great!

Oh and my mother in law bought us a box of diapers for Blaine.. A box of 300 diapers! Holy smokies that is a big box of diapers! Hope it last a while. (Yeah, not with a newborn...)

So over all, this Friday was a good one.. Hope yours was too!
