Spring Fever!

If I haven't already mentioned this is in a previous blog... I really wish spring would get here already!  I have always been a fan of the cold months, however, trying to entertain a wiry 10 month old in doors all day is tough.  The few warm days we have had were wonderful.  She loves being outside so much and just sits so calmly looking around.  I remember back to this past summer when she was only a few months old, she didn't get upset very often, but when she did all we would have to do is take her out on the back porch swing and she would instantly be at peace and usually fall asleep!  

While Josh is on night shift and the weather is bad it is really difficult.  I can't take her anywhere because of the roads, and I have to try and keep her somewhat quiet so he can sleep during the day lol.  It will be so nice when he is on night shift to be able to take her to the park during the day, sit out side on the swing, go for walks.  If you guys haven't figured it out... I'm really ready for warmer weather.  

Do you wanna know what I am not ready for?  April.  Lily will be a year old next month.  That isn't right.  I kinda want her to stay where she is right now.  I love this age.  I also need to add that morning is my favorite time with her.  She is in such a good mood from sleeping all night and she has lots of smiles to give.  We have so much fun during breakfast singing songs and making faces!

  

This past week was pretty uneventful.  Josh switched to night shift on Monday.  His Grandma was in the hospital having surgery so we went to visit her and it was a plus that his mom was there (she lives in Hot Springs) so she got to visit with both her Grandma & Great Grandma!  Darlene is doing well as of yesterday.  Thursday night mom and dad came over and played with Lily and I cooked.  Friday night after Josh left for work I took Lily of to mom and dads so she could play with Kaleb.  They had fun and she is really starting to try and interact with him.  He would hug her and she would first give him a kiss and then push him down, they both though it was funny!  We ended the night with a bath before I took Lily home to put her to bed.

Last night Lora and Ben came over and hung out.  It is always nice to have them over.  Other than a few weeks here and there (I can count them on one hand) they have came by every week!

Today was supposed to be a day of grocery shopping for the week and visiting with grandparents, however, as said above they are saying the weather is supposed to get back we are staying in all day. I have a roast in the crock pot, and am waiting for Lily's nap so that I can start prepping everything for the upcoming week.  I have started to get really organized... if you know me then you know organization doesn't come easily to me.   I feel a lot better though.  My favorite part is meal planning.  I plan our meals for the entire week, go get what I need, and know what I am making every night.  I know that is normal for some people but it isn't for me haha!  

I am going to do an update next week on all the things I am doing to get organized!  These are all ideas I have gotten from other bloggers, but I love them and have adopted them into my life. We are talking about maybe starting to try for baby number two in January(more on that to come as well), and with Josh's job schedule, two kids, working full time, and trying to go back to school for nursing, being organized isn't an option... it is a requirement!   

See you all next week!
