Busy weekends.....

As I sit here and type this update, I am watching my two little girls play in the bathtub. I do this many nights a week....let them play while I wind down from a busy and normally somewhat stressful day. They enjoy the water and it keeps them occupied for a moment or two.
Since Friday we have been very busy. Friday EARLY morning Joe left us for DC. He was gone all weekend so Friday night the kids and I spent the night at my parents house. The girls lOVE sleep overs! =] We went to Dalton the following day to visit my Grandmother's gravesite. Then did a little shopping at the strip mall there. I got Blake some onsies and shorts since he is outgrowing his clothes so quickly! He is already wearing 9 month sleepers and is barely 7 months old! Then Sunday I cleaned the house and we went to a little friends birthday party at Play World Down Under. Sunday night we had dinner at a friends house. Today(monday) Joe got home around 3am and we had a play group come over for swimming in the kiddie pool. Buck got a clean bill of health from the vet, the kids and I went to my book club meeting, went to the grocery store since there was practically no food in the house and then got home to cook dinner all before 7pm! lol Many people say I am crazy for going to the grocery store with three kids by myself....I am not sure why or what their kids do in the stores...but mine are usually quite good. Just sit in the carts(I push 2!) and I get in and out with little or no arguments in less then an hour.
Shew....I am almost more tired from typing that then from doing it all! lol
It is 8pm and Blake is already down for the night(well will prolly get up to nurse once before I go to bed). and the girls are well on their way. Joe is out contacting and getting diapers. ANd I am very much ready for either a soak in a warm bath or cookies and milk.....a bath is probably better for me huh?!
Blake started sitting up on his own this weekend! He has his 6 month check up tomorrow. I can not believe he is already almost 7 months old!! Time sure flies!
We have another BUSY weekend planned this coming weekend so I will be posting again then with updates and hopefully pics. So check back =]
