Happy 1/2 Birthday, Colin!

 

 

 

 

And the tradition of a half-birthday homemade cake lives on... I can't believe it has been six months already! Happy half-birthday, monkey. We love you!!!

Mom Brain (take 2)

As the continual single motherhood/sleep deprevation continues with our current situation, my Mom brain gets worse.

I tried to pay for my gas on Monday by attempting to put my debit card in my gas tank and not the machine slot (I don't think that is what they mean by pay at the pump).
Tonight I was getting my coffee ready to go for the morning and instead of putting the water pitcher back in the fridge, I put the coffee pot in the fridge and then could not find what I did with it....

Also, tonight I went and got my hair colored darker so I will not be mistaken for a blonde... and just a sleep deprived mother (sorry all my blonde haired friends-blonde joke could not be passed up)

Good night, all.

Milestones

Monday, my angel of a baby was fussy... being the experienced Mom I am I could not figure out what do for him (he has been such an easy baby so far I was thrown off guard by his minor crabbiness). Today - the first little tooth has popped through his gums. The first tooth! Big milestone!!! I took a photo, but no one except a mother cares to see/document it so I won't post it for your viewing pleasure. My baby is growing up!!!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing and exhausted mothers out there... I hope it is wonderful!

Happy Mother's Day!

 

 

 

 

I'm Forrest, Forrest Gump...

 

 

I had to snap this picture of Geoff and Jack fishing at Lake of the Ozarks. It reminds me of one of my all time favorite movies, Forrest Gump.

Mom Brain

Mom Brain is in full force this week...I am pretty sure Jack took the first half of my intellegence and Colin took the second half (or what was left...sorry, Colin).

Yesterday I dropped my cell phone in a bowl of rice cereal. Cleaning rice cereal out of a Palm is not so much fun...

Today, I went to Whole Foods - got the boys out of the car - got Colin with carseat into the cart - filled the cart all around Colin with all our fantastic organic food finds (sorry again, Colin) and got up to the register.
As the checkout girl apologized for my wait as the mom in front of me forgot her purse in her car, I realized... how am I paying for this? My purse was in my car as well. So unless they take payment in the form of smiles from cute children, I was going to make a trip to the car for my debit card and then back in to pay for groceries to surround Colin with again to then again drag the boys out to the car.
All I can say is at least I remembered both kids - am I right all you moms out there?
