Life Lately in March (Part 1)

I can’t believe it’s already March 16.  Yet the last two weeks have been really slow (sick, snow, and hubby gone). 

Since we were forced to our house majority of this month, things have been slow paced and it’s been nice.  Most mornings we’ve leisurely woken up, had breakfast (and coffee), played with toys, and watched a couple of TV shows.  We’ve stayed in our pj’s until noon most days (sometimes later). 

Often I feel guilty, and that I need to get them dressed and “do something”, but then I remember, there will be PLENTY of days for rushed mornings when I’m only wishing I could go back to these moments of calm. 

I really do love that I’m able to be home with my boys…I’ll never get these days back.  Ever.  Soon they’ll start school where they’re away from me most of the day.  Then college.  Then they’re married.  I’ll enjoy my slow mornings with just me and the boys! 

The last month for us…

Lots of coffee at home!

Made a trip to Whole Foods to get meds and here’s my helper!  Love him!

A breakfast treat for me!

PJ’s, bed head, and choosing which gummy vitamin he wanted.  This is a tough choice every day.  He has to look at every color and make his decision.

Some crazy snow came in to Texas!

So we built a snowman!  His first one.

Tacos…easy dinners when dad’s gone!

I’ve been obsessed with this breakfast lately…biscuit, bacon, egg, and cheese.  So good.

Reading while they play.

My mother-in-law watched the boys while I had a little “me time” and I so appreciated this time alone.  She’s been so helpful lately while Ryan finishes up the season.

I think I have a problem.  Coffee is an experience to me (more than the taste) so the mug is really important.  Anyone else feel the same way?  Please? Help me justify these purchases. 🙂

See?  How cute is this mug?!

The next day (Sunday), we went out to eat at a local pizza place and B had to have rainbow ice cream…his new favorite.

Then this one got a haircut from Daddy Barber.

Getting my  hair done and face timing Maddox…with a plastic french fry hanging out of his mouth.  Scary pic up there huh?

Beckham enjoying “coffee” in his new mini mug!  I love that he loves what I love.

I can’t even.  When I decorated the play room, I placed this mirror floor level and I’m so glad I did.  Both boys have loved this.

He really wanted to touch his new baby cousin!  I’m pretty sure he’s thinking, “ooh I’m not the littlest one anymore.”  #babybrotherproblems
IMG_0187
Last Friday, we painted wooden cars!  He LOVED this activity and it was a nice change of pace for him.  He is starting to enjoy coloring and painting.  Finally activities that don’t involve running non-stop.  I love his concentration look.

Afterwards we went to the library and checked out books and played on the computer.  His book selection process is tedious as you can tell.

And little man just sat in his stroller and waited…thanks to a paci and Puffs.

On Saturday, we headed to the donut shop before running an errand.  This boy has a serious love for donuts…and so do I.  Later that day my mom came over and we went to our down town for pizza and ice cream (clearly a horrible diet day for us).  I can’t believe I didn’t take any pictures, but it was such a fun day.  It was overcast, my house was clean, the boys were entertained, and I got to visit with my mom!

Ryan got home late Saturday night!  YAY! The next morning, we headed to church…I love these guys so much!
IMG_0214
I feel like Beckham looks so old in this picture.  Maybe it’s the “skinny jeans”…which I found at a consignment store for $4.00! 
IMG_0216IMG_0220IMG_0223
Then we headed to one of Beckham’s best little friend’s birthday party!  He was in Heaven!
IMG_0225 
Finally, we ended the weekend by going over to my brother’s house for dinner.  This is Ryan and B picking up the pizza on our way.  He gets to play with his cousin while we’re there and he absolutely loves it…plus, Ryan was meeting Baby Nolan for the first time!
It was a great weekend.  Y’all, Ryan is officially done with the season and I cannot express to you the JOY I have.  I asked him last night, “So you are coming home after work tomorrow?  Like you don’t have to go anywhere?”  I think it was a longer than normal season because of having two kids, especially with a baby.  I plan on blogging about that as it’s a huge part of our lives so stay tuned.

    Love, love, love your nail polishes!! And your breakfast sandwich. Yum!

    Glad you have your husband back. I'm sure that as much as you appreciate all that he does for your family, it's great to have him at home with you and the boys.

    I too have a thing for mugs! When my hubby travels for work, he will occasionally bring back a mug for me to add to my collection. Love it!

    There is just something about a fabulous mug that makes drinking coffee that much better. I may have an addiction to coffee mugs myself. Have a great weeeeknd
