Ooh how I have dreaded this day alllll summer. The last day of my summer break. I have been planning this day for so long and how I wanted to do nothing but play with John Parker. Well that all changed last night at 2:15 when John Parker was crying in his bed (crib…still not in big boy bed) saying “no bed, momma….no bed, momma” Ugh. My initial thoughts were why not dad and too late, you’re already in bed but I finally went to get him. 45 minutes later he fell asleep on me then I laid him down where he proceeded to wake back up, jumping to his feet, & screaming. I ran out of the room. WHAT? He has not done this IN FOREVER. He cried “no bed” off and on for quite some time (more than I will admit on a blog) until he (or maybe I) crashed back to sleep. He slept in until 9:15 which has never happened. It has made for an “off” day and the only thing I want to do is go back to sleep until tomorrow morning. Off to a good start on that new back to school schedule. Sigh.
We have a lot going on right now with John Parker (obviously since we are up all night) going to a SITTER for the first time tomorrow, I am starting school and my new position tomorrow, finishing the big boy room (almost done!), starting on Reese’s nursery, cramming in a big boy trip with John Parker before he is no longer an only child, and finding time to birth a 2nd child this year.
Here are some pics from our final summer fun from the past few weeks.
This is how I was able to cook dinner one night last week. This is what he does when he stays at grandma d’s and she is trying to get dinner fixed for the farmers.
Playing Hide and Seek….we have to work on our hiding skills.
One of our last playdates at Cape Swim Park….
Spending one last weekend with Caroline at Bootheel Youth Museum & then to dinner at Dexter Queen…
This is a Hogs jersey that I bought JP at TJ Maxx and he wants to wear it CONSTANTLY which makes me nuts. It’s cute and all but the obsession is wearing me out trying to keep it washed. Right now it’s on “vacation” and hidden in a closet.
Heading to church with our backpack and dollar for Jesus
Not 100% sure what’s going on in this pic but John Parker is playing it cool in the back…
Cleaning out my car and JP got away from me. This is very common lately. If I don’t immediately put him in his carseat completely buckled in (aka not stand him up in the car while I load stuff) then he takes off in the car and I have to climb in one side to attempt to get him out while he runs to the opposite side. Thankfully no one (as far as I know) can see this embarrassing display of bad parenting occur in our driveway.
This pic quality is HORRIBLE but this was the LONGEST day of the summer when JP would not nap all day. That night we snuggled on the couch to watch Toy Story 3 (shocking) and I had to walk out of the room to help Greg with something. I came back in to John Parker sleeping on the couch. In his 26.5 months of existence this has never happened. He always falls asleep in his crib or occasionally in his carseat.
This is another example of what happens when I leave my child unattended…
This is an even better example of what happens when John Parker is left unattended for seconds. Yes, I should be hotlined for leaving my child unattended. I had to pull each limb of his body out of my cabinet. Luckily nothing was broken, kid or trinkets. He is JUST LIKE HIS FATHER. I am pretty sure this is something Greg would have done in college as a child. Look closely on the bottom shelf. Sigh.
This past weekend consisted of us going to our annual Anniversary Outing to STL for a Cards game. This year the Veazey’s joined us and we were able to meet up with the Woodards. It was sooo relaxing to get away with adults. I didn’t even take my camera and since I was the only loser in the STL metro area without an iphone….I have no pics of the wknd. As soon as we got home Sunday we had a church swim party then headed to Guethles for a cookout where again, no pics where taken. It was a great close to the summer!
