Busy Weekend

We seem to be having a trend of busy weekends lately. We are always off doing things to get ready for the baby's arrival or taking Thomas to fun places. This weekend was no different (and it's only Saturday!)

This Saturday was especially fun and busy! I had to go register Thomas for VPK. He will be going to St.Luke's next year and even though he has already been registered for next fall, I still had to register him through the state for the VPK portion of his tuition. I had heard this registration line could get up to 3 hours of waiting in line. I got there about a half hour after they opened. It was extremely organized! I waited about 1hour and 10 minutes, which wasn't too bad.

Afterwards, I ran some errands including buying some more maternity clothes. It gets so boring wearing the same thing every week to work! I had just enough time to shop before meeting up with Emily. We had a wonderful lunch with some ladies from her work at Seasons 52 to help celebrate her wedding next month. It was so nice to be at a restaurant where I didn't have to request a kids menu!

After leaving there, I made a mad dash home to pick up Thomas. His friend from school, Vivian, was having a "three and a half" birthday party. He had fun playing on their swing set and eating the yummy treats. She even had LIVE entertainment. Mr. Richard is a children's entertainer that performs at local bookstores or small theaters. He is excellent. Thomas and some friends got to see him perform last summer. It was fun to have a personal concert and request some of the kids favorite songs.

I am hoping that we get to have some "down" time this weekend....but who knows what we'll get into next!

Getting Ready for Baby

This past week I have been shopping online for some things I know we will need for baby Nathan. Thomas loves when boxes start appearing at the front door! On Saturday, we got our newest purchase...a LIME green Bumbo. I used the Bumbo when I watched kids in the house last year, and I really loved it. They didn't have things like that when Thomas was a baby. I found this LIME green Bumbo and tray and had to get it since that color isn't sold locally in our stores (or at least that I have noticed). This morning, after giving Thomas a little bowl of Cheerios, I noticed he was quiet. Too quiet. (Which means trouble in our house.) This is what I walked in to see. Here's Thomas sitting in Nathan's room using the Bumbo. He just giggled when he got caught!
