I am spent.. this weekend was non stop busy insane.. and I am glad to be home.. it was jam packed with fun things to do.. and birthdays to be celebrated..breast cancer fundraisers to be taken part of and a long drive home..
where do I begin.. I think the drive up is a nice start.. my unborn love child has found a new pass time.. running her hand.. or maybe an elbow across my belly button.. and it freaks me out! I cannot stand having my belly button touched as it.. let alone from the inside where I have no control!! and it wasnt just once or twice.. it was for a full hour!
but we arrived to a beautiful sunny day where it was so nice to take the kiddies outside and let them create sidewalk chalk outlines and enjoy bubbles and play in the grass.. this moment did not help my.. “I wish we all lived in the same town” feelings..
these kids are growing up so fast.. it is blowing my mind.. Dayton is 5 now.. and Heidi is as tall as a 5 year old.. it was insane to see the almost 6 inch gap between Olive and her.. because they are only 6 weeks apart!
we ordered from our favorite pizza place.. had a pizza party.. drank way to much diet pepsi.. and called it a night.. gramma house snuggles withOlive are the best.. although we pay for it every time we come home and I walk her to her own bed and she b lines it to mine :0
Me and my sister did something we always wanted to do and finally checked off our mini to-do list.. walk to the 14th pub.. I know it soundsraaaaandom.. but growing up in the same house our whole lives.. there is a pub that is about 15 houses and a path way away.. and we would always talk about when we turned 19.. we would go there and have a drink with my Aunt.. and crawl home.. and I never understood just how random this pub was in the middle of the burbs.. only a few hundred feet from our home.. and on April 09th.. we did it.. of course there was a baby in my belly this time so I drank 50 gallons of water while my hands swelled and my ass took shape of the chair I was sitting in for 5 hours.. but it was still great.. and will be done a lot more seeing as the food was perfection.. our sweet friend met up with us.. and we sat with our Auntie and ate pub food and laughed and enjoyed a beautifully put together breast cancer fundraiser!!
finally making our way there!! it only took almost 10 years! and I have to note that my sister wanted to drive there :0
My sister in laws mama is battling breast cancer.. and we went and support.. and bought raffle tickets.. and people silent auctioned.. and we supported her mama and all the other mamas and girls and grandmas out there that have to fight this awful disease.. and I thought about how one day that may be me.. or my daughter.. and just how wild of a disease this is.. Her mama looked amazing! and was energetic.. and Hollie did an amazing job of hosting the event.. and the bar said it was the best one they have hosted and raised the most money for!!
and thank you for giving me an “I drove up from Seattle to be here.. Kacey never wins anything prize” it was very appreciated!! because I never win anything when it comes to raffles..
It was so nice to see these two cousins play together.. Olive is warming up faster and faster each time.. even though she talked about them non stop on the car ride up .. and the night before bed.. and on the phone with her..
the classic “helping mamas cook” picture..
We celebrated Daytons 5th birthday and Joshuas 7th birthday :0 and had dinner and cupcakes.. and enjoyed a packed house full of people there to celebrate and eat!! and ate I did.. I never had this with Olive.. this insane desire to take down large quantities of food.. but this weekend was out of control.. and I wont tell you how many hotdogs were consumed that evening for dinner ;)
after a wild weekend of stomach tightness.. (dare I say the word contraction?) I decided to come home a night earlier.. I wanted to be in my home.. by my hospital.. with my hubby to rub my incredibly tight back.. the ride home was wild.. and I am having moments that take my breathaway.. literally.. thankfully I have a drs appt today and a non stress test.. and I can be rest assured that this is all part of the last trimester.. (even though nothing like this happened with Olive ) and I can resume my daily activity without waiting for that gush of water to break between my legs.. and asking myself if I packed my slippers and hair dryer..
I came home.. stretched out.. and tried to relax.. and had a sweet little partner while doing it.. this girl is a copycat at its finest.. and it is so wild to hear the things that are coming out of her mouth.. and what she is grasping.. and learning just by visuals..
