Some days I think the fact that I made it to Friday and get to blog is a victory in and of itself. Monday was the worst day in my stay at home mom career so far. Really, I'll spare you the details but good heavens I never thought I'd be "THAT" mom and I am, or I was, I'm not going to be! Tuesday not wanting to be like that I just tried to just embrace the mess and love my kids. It doesn't mean I love the mess, just that it, nor the 2 yr old things like running from me when I grab a tissue and wiping his nose on the couch instead are not worth constantly riding my broom around for (maybe for a minute though right?) I feel like I made progress-not perfect but anything is better than Monday.
The pics:
Isaac had a blast tinkering with my sewing machine that needed oil. He said "I didn't need to buy that jet ski, I could have just played with this" funny guy! I really wish I would have got a picture when he had a big grin on his face.
(Ps he loves those orange work shirts that he's wearing in 95% of the pics I take. I however...DON'T)

These are the 2 looks I consistently get from Colt when I try to get a picture of him smiling...
The closest I've come:
I do however have a great picture of the wall/changing station that has a great smile in a TINY little corner of it, oh well, we'll go with the blurry/goofy angle ones-

This weeks antics we'll call Cann-tics: "Because" I mentioned a week or so ago about having to answer "how come?" a thousand times a day- well I've learned that I always start my answer with "Because" because that's all I hear back these days. I'm pretty sure he only hears that one word, admittedly I spit it out quickly then try to formulate the rest of my answer, oh well. The other thing I've noticed I'm mimicked on is adding to prayers, I get little reminders in the middle of prayers of things I need to say all the time too.
That might be it for this go around of a Friday post...seems a little weak but oh well, so was the week! Plus, we have Halloween to look forward to next week and if I'm going to get costumes done I better get on it!
Oh wait, here's what happens to Colt while I blog, Cannon is "sharing his toys" ...poor Colt, and my bad on paying more attention to the blog-whoops.

  2. It's soooooo good to see what you've been up to! Colt is so big!! I just imagined him being small and scrawny (no offense, Cannon!) like his brother, but he's big. That's so great. Hang in there Lyndi - it gets easier, I promise! I just read that someone told you that going from 1 to 2 kids was the hardest, and I totally agree. That was my hardest one too. Give yourself some time (like 4 or 6 months!) and you'll be feeling more on top of things. Keep your head up!
