I Scream,You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream!

     It was finally nice enough for our first walk into town to get ice cream! The kids were so happy that we were going to get ice cream and I was happy that we got to be outside for more than the walk from the door to the car! Big Brother walked and held the handle on the stroller pretty well when we were close to the road and ran a little crazy when we were closer to our house. He used up a lot of energy and asked for ice cream with sprinkles when we got there. 

She made this face with every bite she took!

SPRINKLES!

     Froggie ended up grabbing her ice cream and then crying because her hands were cold. Big Brother told her over and over that she was ok and even offered to share his ice cream with her. For how crazy he is most of the time he's always surprising me with how sweet he is in situations you wouldn't expect from a 3 year old. 
     He walked and talked to Froggie on the way home and then tried explaining to me this crazy move Hubby taught him that's hard work. It kind of looked like a cross between a squat and some weird superhero pose. After the third or fourth time he did it I asked if I could take a picture and he agreed (which is rare).

November Challenge: Day 18

     I'm becoming more and more appreciative of single moms, tonight I'm VERY thankful for this new find (it was VERY needed tonight!):

My Weakness

     Hubby mentioned dessert after Big Brother went to bed so he made a run to get us ice cream. I must say this is my weakness! It doesn't help that the girl at our cold stone ALWAYS over makes our orders and we end up with a size bigger than what we order.

Happy Labor Day!

     To many today is the unofficial end to summer. School is officially back in for those who go to school and around here it's gotten busier since we live in a college town. We started our weekend off with our jam packed Saturday and then any other outdoor plans we had went south when it rained both Sunday and Monday.
     Hubby got the kids up and let me sleep for a little longer this morning. After a little bit I felt like I was wasting my extra day and came down stairs to find everyone hanging out in the living room. it was cloudy again and the weather was predicting rain. This morning was pretty low key, then Big Brother had lunch and Hubby prepped Froggie's new carseat to go into my car.
     Froggie has upgraded from her infant carrier to a stand alone carseat. We had picked up a new purple Graco carseat a few weeks ago and had just not moved it into the car. When Big Brother laid down Hubby finished adjusting the straps to fit Froggie and work rear facing.


     Once Big Brother was up and out of bed and I had got up on publishing posts on  here we loaded up the car to test out Froggie's new car seat and go get some ice cream. Big Brother got his very own cup of ice cream but insisted upon eating everyone else's. Some days I wonder why we order him his own food instead of just sharing ours with him.



     Froggie also has gotten another tooth! Her other top tooth has broken through. It actually broke through Saturday morning but swelled back up a bit yesterday. I don't think they're going to swell over again though so I'm saying it's official! This could have been the reason she would randomly wake up screaming for the last week or so. However, Froggie has adopted a bad habit now that she has top and bottom teeth. She has been grinding her teeth together so that they make a clicking or popping noise. It's almost as if she lines her top teeth behind her bottom teeth and then pops them up over the bottom teeth to make the noise. She pretty good about stopping if you say something to her, give her a toy or shove your finger in her mouth but I'm not so sure she always will be if it becomes habitual. Anyone have any experience getting an infant not to grind/click their teeth?



Well tomorrow we're back to work for our 4 day work week. We're also supposed to have a break in our hot temperatures as well. Hoping for a good week.

Bumps, Bruises and Boys!

     Hubby and I are convinced we will be headed to the ER before Big Brother turns 5... I swear he spends more time getting up and brushing himself off than anything (except maybe falling down). He ran halfway home on our walk to and from the ice cream stand and managed to trip and fall into the coffee table 5 minutes before bed!

He LOVES to run!

The bump

Our trusty Spiderman ice pack!

     After some ice, checking his pupils and some observation time (as well as some extra snuggling and kisses) Big Brother was able to go to bed. He'll probably have a lump for a few days but this is definitely not his first bump and I'm 100% positive it will not be his last.

     Froggie has become pretty attached to her froggy wubbanub and she likes to hold its hands while she sucks on the binky, if she's not chewing on its feet! Froggie also sported her hand-me-down UNC shirt today and I had to post it for all to know - well some to know, and they know who they are...

Loving her Frog

UNC!

Sweet Treats

     As we left for our walk tonight Hubby grabbed some spare change and we headed into town for dessert first! We did a little over 2 miles so I'm ok with the little bit of ice cream we got. Froggie has gotten pretty bossy about wanting to eat when everyone else has food and I was getting sad looks from Froggie while we were eating out ice cream so we got her a baby cone. (Yes I know that baby's aren't supposed to have dairy and whatever reasons there are for not giving kids ice cream, etc. but I figure if they're pushing yogurt for babies ice cream is not that much different and for 43 cents Froggie could have a few licks of ice cream).

Mom where's my ice cream?

I can do this myself!

Please don't take it away
