Treasures

I had the best day yesterday! Many reasons why. I got a full night of rest with no interruptions from Aiden. He got his 1st bad report card on Friday. He was throwing so many fits instead of naptime he had to sit in the office. Which meant when I was trying to bring him home that afternoon and he noticed no star sticker on his sheet he had the BIGGEST fit. Literally drug him out holding him by one arm and he's not touching the ground (I was in so much pain-hello 40lb kid!). Screaming and crying the whole way wanting a star sticker (talk about embarrassing, but I just wanted to get him outta there so I could straighten him out in the car-privacy). After a few butt spanks and harsh words he said he was sorry and wouldn't do it again. Peace regained. Since he was being good while I made a few stops before home I asked if he wanted to go play with Carlos or go home (normal answer is play) but today we got home....ummm okay.....

So we are at home, he crawled in our bed while I watched X Factor from the night before and next thing I knew he was fast asleep. It was only 7:20! This is his normal weekday bedtime and after multiple nights of a 10+pm bedtime I was shocked. But this only scared me that he would wake up at 2am...and wouldn't you know I physically had to wake him up at 6:30am!! Holy Moly! His normal sleep pattern has returned!!!!! I think it finally caught up to him.

Once we ate breakfast we headed over to Gabby and Grande's so I could go on an adventure with Gabby and our friend Mary. Off to yard sales and an art festival! Having a good nights rest was the best thing ever since I was going to be walking all day. I had never been to Reelfoot Lake and it was definitely a pretty scene! I had so much fun and can't wait to go back next year!! As we came into town all the locals set up yard sales on the main drive and I definitely got some good treasures before I even got to the festival. lol

I got a jar of local honey, which builds up your immune system and helps with allergies, def need. Then I found the best gift for Aiden, a wooden elephant piggy bank! I have been looking for one ever since he man handled his plastic one. All the ones on Etsy are like $25+, I only paid $5 and all it needs is a good dusting. Score! Next I found a good little gift for Aiden's "Elf" to bring to his North Pole breakfast, a Cars ornament, and it was only $1. Yes! But the best treasures are the free ones! I got the Iron Man mask for free (think I cashed in on that pregnancy pity card. haha)!! This thing is $10 bucks in the score and every time I pass it I think "Aiden will love it, but def not worth $10 bucks."

Now we finally made it into the festival. So many amazing things inside, but then I ran across something I recognized...This White BBQ sauce is amazing! Great on sandwiches. I haven't found it in years, so I just had to get some. (My mom will be jealous. The wasabi one is great!) I really wanted one of the coffee can yard flowers....but of course the Bama ones were sold out. Next year one is mine!! lol

We made it home just in time to change clothes and head off to Brody's Diaper and Wipe shower. Amazingly I wasn't too worn out. It was a good evening out with friends and family. We love them so much and they are so amazing to our boys! Feel like I've been saying this a lot lately, but it's true, we are so blessed!

You know I love owls, so I LOVE LOVE LOVE the owl outfit! And the owl picture looks great next to the dresser, can't wait to hang it! Then how could any Bama fan not love an elephant wubbanub and football hat!?! Did you notice the last image...Brody has his own personalized baby bag. Such amazing gifts from amazing people!

Even Aiden got a little present. He was all excited about his Buzz and Woody bag! Today we've been coloring all day and he HAD to have his Rex cup!

So how did last night sleeping go for Aiden? Great!! We didn't get home till 8pm, he passed out shortly after and didn't wake up till 7ish. How did nap time go? Well there was definitely fighting, cried for 30 minutes straight, but we did see great improvement!! Stayed on his bed, didn't beat on the door once. It was tough, but thankfully his demon didn't come out. lol Let's just see if he can keep it up during the week....

Next week is short for me, trying to use up my remaining vacation days so Tuesday me and Wes are having a day date since he's off. Going to see Taken 2! Can't wait! Then I get to see Brody again on Thursday, then on Friday it's a short work day! But on Sunday it's my big day at work Go-Live! This year's BIG project will be officially be over! Only have to work from 1am to 9am. lol No biggie right?! But at least I'm off on Monday! :-) I hope everyone else had a great weekend like we did in the Lambert household.
