29 hours until date night

OH man oh man, so excited for date night. I know its silly but its such a big deal. I live for spending kid free time with the most handsome man around...and best of all we are going CHRISTMAS shopping!

So we have a nativity set and I'm sad to report infidelity...Audrey hijacked Joseph and replaced him with a wise man...scandal I tell you pure scandal ! We are hoping to find Joseph and bring him back to his long lost love and kick the sassy wise man out of the manger ;)

So tonight I am doing two back to back work out classes...I think on friday I might feel the pain but I am pumepd for the burn because that means that this baby fat is melting off...bye bye pooch belly hello tight abbs...(I better be able to sport my bathing suit proud by this summer)

Anyways off to tone down the rockstar (my mom bought Audrey a NOISY guitar and she likes to serenade the sleeping baby...which is so not allowed :) )

Christmas has come...

Christmas came Friday November 11! Hooray, now to teach Audrey that the tree is not a toy!

I'll keep you posted

juice juice juice

we have been tricking audrey with water for the last six months calling it juice. she took a few 'swigs' of a friends sippy cup that had the real deal in it the other day. she now knows we have been tricking her. she asks for juice, 'juice please' and when i give her water she gives me that...i know this isn't what i asked for face. there is no tricking her anymore...she knows what she is missing.

brent gave audrey a sip of his coffee the other day (she has been begging for it for months and months) he thought one sip and she'd hate it and never ask again...her response...'more more more please..' shoot that backfired on us as well

i went to starbucks with my mom and my mom bought audrey a steamed milk with a shot of vanilla syrup in it. wellllll the other day she saw my latte in a starbucks cup and lets recap in slow motion

so in the 'liquids' category we are 0/3 in baseball terms we have totally struck out

Best Hubby

Sunday night brent took BOTH kids from 6:00pm-11:30pm so I could go out and have some time with my girlfriends. It was a blast and just a beautiful thing to get a break especially after being sick all weekend. I am so blessed to have a hubby who takes the kids willingly without complaining. I hear of so many woman who don't have that. In times of business it is easy not to count your blessings. One thing that I can always count on is my hubby.

Brent has also compromised and we are setting our tree up in ELEVEN days! (November 19!) so so so excited!

I have been feeling into the Christmas spirit more this year then any other because now Audrey is at a age were I know she is going to LOVE it and the toys we can buy her are so SO much cooler (fun for mommy even...its like being a kid all over again!)

So excited to celebrate this upcoming christmas!!!

Audrey was walking around in my heels this morning so I thought I would post a picture because she is just sooooo cute!

since he's been born

mastitis
uterus infection
cold
bronchitis
He is six weeks old and my body is kicking my butt!!!

Trick OR Treat

So all week I have been trying to teach Audrey to say Trick Or Treat, by the end of the week it sounded quite a lot like chinese-tika teat ha ha. We weren't sure how trick or treating was going to go as Audrey is only 17 months old.

Brent started out with saying, 'I'm trying to be supportive so I will follow your lead.' ha ha. He kills me, he really wasn't sure of how it was going to go. He thought it was going to be awkward and that she wasn't going to understand it. Lets just say that I know my little firecracker and that if there is food involved she learns FAST.

The first house she was a little confused what we were doing and what was with all the kids going up and down the street and up to the houses. We got to the door with some prompting she said, 'hi', ''tika teat' and 'buh bye'. She was a doll and melted every-ones hearts.

After a couple houses she was dragging me by my hand up and down peoples sidewalks to there houses. She had what to stay down pack and did some improvising herself. A few times she stuck her hand into there bowls and said, 'more please' haha shoot. Oh well, she's one everyone was forgiving and gracious. Actually usually after that they gave her even more because they thought it was so sweet.

We had a blast! I had Audrey by the hand and Brent wanted to hold Beckham so he didn't have to participate because he was embaressed at first. After the first couple houses Brent came up to me and was like, 'You can have Beckham I'll take Audrey.' I smirked (I knew he would love it once he saw Audrey get into it!

At the end of the night when the candy was gone through and sorted Brent turned to me and said, I could have treat or treated with her all night. Hooray for first trick or treating, yay for all the other years to come of lots and lots of candy and many many more houses!

The Halloween Princess

A halloween blog will follow but not until naptime at the earliest...this morning is dedicated to cuddles and tea and perhaps a couple movies with my babies!
