Packages

We received lots of packages this weekend. Brody's light and stocking came in! Aiden's puzzle came in! Wes' new work shoes came in!

After years. yes years! I have finally found a rug to go under our bed. Right now we have a piece of carpet remnant from a family friend from when they were replacing carpet in their house (ghetto right?! haha but it serves its purpose and who really walks into our bedroom besides us?!). Why did it take so long? Since we need a 8x10 and I refused to pay over $300 makes the options dwindle fast. I can't justify spending a ton on a rug where 95% of it is covered by a bed. Every deal I found didn't fit the decor, but I finally found one.

It's solid shag, which I think will feel nice on our toes when getting out of bed. Cream. How much is this gem? $125!! Thanks Pottery Barn Outlet! I'm going to go reserve it sometime this week so I can pick it up on the weekend maybe.

Friday I finally got Aiden's haircut. It was getting so so long. After a good job for a special treat we tried the new yogurt place next door. Yum! I tried the Watermelon and Orange sherbet and little man got Chocolate and Peanut Butter. I was impressed. Not bad priced too.

That being said. This weekend was definitely a mommy weekend. I got my hair cut short again Saturday morning then went swimming with the little man. He is becoming a great swimmer...might even graduate to no life vest by the end of the summer (only in the shallow end).

With that being said....potty training and being 5 mo preggo is NO fun! Getting up and down, up and down every 5 minutes is painful. Especially when the little guy inside you is so active! But I'm hanging in there, definitely have my beyond frustrated moments but I try to not let Aiden see me. However by the end of Saturday mommy was tired and feeling sick, and after 3 "false" potty times in less than 10 minutes I hit my breaking point. The 4th time I made him sit on the potty till he went...literally holding him to it. He's screaming and crying....but wait what happened? HE WENT POTTY!!!!! Once he started I told him to give me a high five and look what he did..he looked started laughing and dancing. So his reward a Popsicle! Needless to say I think he got the idea because he didn't have as many "false" pottys Sunday. Felt bad, but Mommy just had it.

So needless to say after a stressful evening I had some ME time Sunday. Wes took over and I joined my girlfriends to get our toes done and chit chat. Afterwards I joined Regina and Bella to go see the "Katy Perry Part of Me" movie per Bella's request. I had no idea Katy could sing that good live! Definitely impressed. Once I got home I was greeted to a big hug and Aiden didn't want to let go. Nor did I. I missed the little guy!

Last note. I was going to poly the table leaf this weekend.....but Sunday morning it was RAINING!!! YAH!! So excited. Rain predicted for today too and temps down to 90! Never thought I would be so happy to put a project on hold. But the staining went great. Can't wait to make my table big!
