It's another BOY!!
After the initial "oh my gosh my life is going to be crazy, can I really survive this?" reaction, Kyle and I are super excited about our new life with 2 boys. Good thing this momma really likes sports because I see a lot of it in my future!
Besides getting busy shopping for cribs and bedding, I have been busy planning Mason's TWO year birthday party, making Valentine's treats for school, and picking up my house a million times a day.
This month was Birthday Sunday at Otter Creek.. I love this long standing tradition of celebrating with the kids every month. I was really hoping Mason would share some of his chocolate cake with his pregnant and always hungry mommy, but that just didnt happen.
Pinterest has truly become an obsession of mine (along with online shopping for matching boys clothing). Thanks pinterest (and actually Megan for showing it to me) for this cute valentines day idea. Mason helped by eating all the extra teddy grahams...
Another Pinterest idea... Muffin Tin Monday's. Sounds strange, but anything to change up our meal time is nice. Mason has gone through a weird phase with what he eats (specifically, he only wants to eat goldfish, apple cinnamon cheerios, and girl scout cookies), so I started a new tradition on Monday's. The idea is simple... add a variety of foods to choose from and put them on something besides a plate. Skeptical came to mind.. but surprisingly it has worked. If you have a picky eater, or just a toddler going through a "phase", you should give it a shot. Here's a couple ideas:
 |
| turkey, bananas, chex mix, carrots and raisins. |
 |
| sliced cheese, strawberries, ham, wheat thins, cottage cheese (which he didnt touch), and chick peas. |
And finally, just to add some excitement to my week...
Happy Valentines Day!
