Weekending

This past weekend was probably the last of the warm weather we will have for the rest of the year. I was super stoked to get outside and enjoy it but we've all been a little under the weather. Oh sleep, how I miss you! Gage's ears still hurt when he lays down plus I'm trying to wean him. Ryder has been getting a weird cough only at night and I'm pretty sure I have bronchitis AND a sinus infection. So in true Whitney fashion I will wait until im on my death bed before I see a doctor although I take my kids in for the slightest runny nose. True story. 

Saturday we started the day way too early and spent the rest of the day lounging and staring out the window at the beautiful weather. Sorry boys! If there is anything worse than being sick, it's being sick with sick kids. 

Sunday we had our yearly family pictures scheduled. Sigh... Does anyone else stress out about these?! The boys decided to play the game called "lets see how long it takes mom to lose it" right before we left and ran around the house messing up their hair and helping eachother take off their clothes. They know it makes me bat shit crazy when they destroy their hair right after I do it. I carried a comb and bribed them with everything I could think of and it actually went great. We had only a few minor melt downs when it was time for pics of just Gage and Our little model Ryder wasn't about to have that. Also how dare the photographer ask them to hold hands which apparently is a form of torture. 

And then I got a few sneak peaks and my heart exploded....

Tyson had Monday off so we got a sitter and went Christmas shopping. We were able to get 90% of it done and I'm so happy that we aren't waiting until last minute like we usually do. I can't wait to share some of the goodies I snagged soon! While we were out and about we picked up the cutest monster truck ornaments for the boys little Christmas tree. Which in turn resulted in us putting up their tree last night and made my Christmas loving heart so happy! Don't worry, I'm still waiting on putting up our big tree until after Thanksgiving. Also, those truck ornaments didn't stay on the tree for very long. Not surprising. 

And today it's snowing. Like huge, fluffy snowflakes sticking to the ground kind of snowing. Ryder and Gage did a nice little happy dance about it. 

Winter, we're happy you're here but can you please take you're cold and flu season somewhere else??
