The chalk learning city!!

Me and the boys spent our afternoon in Sonora the other day, just for a little something different. While my mom watched Alex, me and Max got to play outside. when I was little me and my neighbor, Nathan used to make chalk cities, so I thought it'd be fun to make one for Max! There was all sorts of fun stuff. I made roads for max to drive through, with stop signs. We made a grocery store for him to buy food, made him his house to park and nap, a gas station (which he visits often). We even made a clothing store for him to practice colors, a count with me station, and an ABC station. It was a lot if fun, too bad the rain came so it is no longer there, but I see a lot of chalk cities in our future!

Mission: childproof garage

Ok, so I guess for the last two years Max hasn't been into much Because we are just now childproofing our garage. It is something we have been meaning to do for the last month or two. We put every dangerous chemical in the top shelf ( out of reach for now) and we've started organizing all of the tools on a pegboard up high. Hopefully we can finish up with this nice fall
Weather we have been having but we have a great start....with two growing boys there are a lot of safety changes we will need to make in the next year! You wouldn't believe what little boys can get into if they put their mind to it.

Lunch with grandpa

Since it was raining, and I desperately needed both myself and max out of the house, I packed up the boys and took them to the mcdonalds off Joyce blvd in Fayetteville. I will not blog about the car miscommunication between me and mike but instead skip to the lunch.....This Mcdonalds has a big indoor playground. I knew max would love it and enjoy running off some energy. My dad even met us there for lunch. It was fun to get out of the house....and Alex did perfect....I will keep this option in mind for future rainy day options for sure!

Tuesday morning cartoon time!

Church

We finally made it to church! Alex is 5 weeks old meaning we hadn't been to church in a while. We tried last week but last Saturday Alex had a rough night sleeping wise which means we ALL had a rough sleeping night...smile... So, we didn't make it to our 8:30am service. This week we were determined! Last night we had a decent night but Alex just happened to wake up at 6:30 needing to nurse so we all stayed up and just got ready for church...we left the house on time and pulled into the church at 8:25 am, perfect! It was a great sermon and it felt great to get back to church and our normal routine. We were welcomed by so many people excited to meet Alex. Max did fantastic, went up front for children's church than also went to the nursery during the sermon and got a great report. Alex did good too, only cried about 3 times briefly. We are so thankful for all of the prayers we have received and all of the support from the church during the pregnancy, birth, and recovery. Me and Mike feel so blessed and are excited to now be a family of 4!

Daddy cheers on the hogs!

We let Mike go to the hog game, so this means I was in charge of the boys.... The first half mom and Phyllis came over, the second half, since I was by myself, I decided to move everyone to the bedroom. I got max in his pjs, got him milk and popcorn.....than I got Alex ready, nursed and happy and in the nap nanny...than I hopped up on the bed and we all watched the game in our pajamas. It was a lot of fun, Max even passed out on the bed before Mike got home. I had a lot of fun getting some quality time with the boys.
