#oliviaeveryday2014 Week 40

October is turning out to be a SUPER busy month and it’s not going to slow down until after Christmas. I have my first business function as a vendor at a Fall festival in a week so I’m prepping for that and trying to fit in all the fun Fall activities (pumpkin patch, fair, Halloween). Here in Texas we have approximately ONE month to enjoy the nice weather. Just kidding…kind of. Here are my daily photos I post on Instagram (@olivia_snyderstellall):

Day 274: Real life! Messy desk, always a snack on it, coffee at 6 pm, working because I had a babysitter…aka my husband. But working is just too hard right now during the day. So, I save it for after they go to bed, which means I usually get into bed between 2-3am! Yep! This is even late for me. Such is life right now.

Day 275: He’s like a big sack of sugar. He’s over 16 pounds now!

Day 276: The day I concocted the perfect iced caramel macchiato at HOME! You can find the recipe HERE.

Day 277: We have the best conversations. I talk talk talk and he just listens!

Day 278: We had a relaxing Sunday with church and grocery shopping. And I finally found a meat Beckham likes…at least for that day. Trader Joes chicken sausage, sun dried tomato. #toddlersarepicky

Day 279: My little chunk is about to gain an accessory that will fit his football build. He’ll be getting a band/helmet to help his plagiocephaly.

Day 280: Beckham LOVES movies but I try to limit them. I now reserve them for the nights Ryan isn’t home and is reffing. This night I grabbed a $5 pizza and we watched Monsters University! He thought I was the best ever! Going from 7am to bed time (which is after 10 sometimes with M) with both boys by myself is exhausting, so a movie it is!

More pics…

On WEDNESDAY, we played in the playroom…this kid can tear up the room in a matter of seconds!

He also likes to color a lot lately. And by color, I mean rip all the paper off the crayons. Hey, it keeps him busy! I don’t mind buying more crayons for that purpose. I’m talking 30 minutes of busy! He wanted to show daddy his “work” in this picture.

On THURSDAY, Maddox and I hung out while B was at MDO. We are working hard on tummy time, but this poor little guy has the hardest time. A lot of this is due to his plagiocephaly.

We picked up an ice cream cone on the way home during Sonic happy hour!

See, peeling crayons. At least he was sorting colors!

My cute little shark after bath time!

On FRIDAY, we had a play date at Chick-fil-a. Then home for naps. Maddox and I hanging out while brother sleeps.

And this was the only way I could get him to take a nap.

That night we all (Ryan too) went to Blue Goose for dinner. We scored some FREE sopapillas they were giving away! I love sitting outside with kids…they’re much calmer!

On our way home, I dropped Beckham and Ryan off at the park down the street from our house for a “movie at the park!” They were playing Frozen, one of B’s favorites. Ryan said he sat through the whole thing on his little chair. I stayed home in case Maddox woke up, plus I had to pump. That’s when I made the iced coffee. We’re going to another one of these soon!

After I picked them up, we came home and did baths!

On SUNDAY, I woke up to a package on our doorstep…my business cards came in. I designed them and love how they turned out!

Then we headed to church with coffee mug in hand! I love personalized coffee mugs.

This was the grand opening of our new Allen location. We used to be in Plano. We are a satellite campus which means our pastor (who preaches in Grapevine) is streamed through video for all other campuses to hear. We have a ton of locations, even one in England. But our pastor, Ed Young, was at our location last Sunday.
