This weekend was exactly what I needed. I literally have not left my home since I got home from work on Friday night. Ah-Mazing.

I got to spend some much needed one on one time with my boys. I have really been missing them this week. Last week, while trying to get the house ready to move, I sent them to their Mom-Mom’s on my days off so I could get some things done. It helped me tremendously…but it broke my heart to not be able to spend that time with them.

The boys are loving the new house, there is much more room for them to take over with their thousands of trucks and blocks and balls and pointy things that hurt when I step on them.

They are also big fans of moving due to the boxes required

Jimmy managed to snag the best seat in the house

Then? The best thing that could possibly happen on a weekend when you don’t want to leave the house happened. It started to snow! We had some snow last year that I am sure Chase doesn’t really remember and this is for sure Jimmy’s first real snow, other than the storm he was born during.

The boys stood at our slider and watched the snow come down all day, but Chase was being elusive and didn’t want his picture taken. Stinker.

All in all it was an amazing weekend home with my babies, who are getting so big so fast.

Even my Cullen baby is growing up and now has grown in his front teeth, so I no longer have a baby vampire..

And Chase? He is just getting more and more grown up right before my very eyes.

A phone conversation with Chase:

Me: Hey buddy, it’s Mama. Hi Chase!

Chase: Hi Chase!

Me: No, say Hi Mama.

Chase: Hi Mama!

Me: Are you having fun at Jenny’s? Are you playing with Kylie? What did you have for dinner?

Chase: Oh mama, Jenny. Kylie fun. Oh mama, CHICKEN. CHICKEN mama.

Me: You had chicken? That’s nice. How’s Jimmy. Is brother being good?

Chase: Jimmy no chicken. Chase chicken. Chicken fun, Mama. Chicken for Chase.

Me: Daddy will be there to get you soon, Bud. Night Night Chase, love you.

Chase: No Daddy. Stay Jenny and Chicken. Night Mama, lub wu. Lub chicken too Mama.

Sigh. I’ve been so easily replaced.

It’s been raining forever. Seriously. We are going a bit loony here being cooped up inside all the time. Chase turned two on the 24th of July, and a majority of his presents from Jim and I were to make the yard more fun for him. He LOVES to be outside!

I ordered everything online, and then sat back to wait for the FedEx truck. Sigh. I hate waiting. I am not a patient person. Finally! Everything is here, we are so excited to get the stuff put together for Chase to play on!

And it rains.

And rains.

And rains.

One of the things we got was a small slide. Finally after a few days of rain I gave up. I wasn’t waiting anymore. It was going up come hell or high water. It was his birthday dammit and he was going to play on his slide.

Getting out of the rain.

Who cares if it was in the living room! He had an awesome time. Don’t mind Jim, he was trying to do something manly to fix the bottom part. I don’t know.

Sliding in the living room quickly became the new cool thing to do..

Even Jimmy got in on the action. I love this little baby raptor SQUEEEEEE he does! So yeah. The moral of the story? Putting a slide in the living room makes for teh happy kiddies!
