April has come and gone
And I've been neglecting this blog yet again!
My Jidda re growing and I've done a poor job of maintaining this blog. Instead, be been giving my "spare time" to my Etsy shop and filling orders. It's not such a bad thing, but I realized the other day that I've taken such few photos of the kids.
Paul and I are planning a weekend getaway to Vegas without kids for some time in May or June. He received a two night stay voucher for Caesar's Palace from a conference he went to for work. I'm looking forward to sleeping in and some much needs alone time with my hubby.
E is almost done with his first ear or preschool. We've been able to spend a few nights lately with just him for his Aunt's concert and to watch his cousins in a play. It's nice to be able to spend some time with just him because G still needs me so much (or my milk really).
G is talking more than ever and trying to climb on everything. He can pull himself up to turn on the

Fun with My Boys
Paul has been out of town since Thursday evening on a cabin trip with several of his friends. I took the day off yesterday too since my parents were also going out of town.
To be honest, I was a little nervous to spend these three days with them by myself. I know it sounds odd, but truthfully, the thought of putting them to bed at night by myself was what I was most concerned about doing.
I've been pretty spoiled. Paul is usually home by the time the kids go to bed, so I've always had someone around, at least to rescue me at some point in the evening if there is an issue with bedtime.
So far we've done ok. I figured out that I can keep E occupied in his room playing Legos quietly and yes, even playing on the iPad. It lets me get to nurse G and have him fall asleep. Then I can focus on getting E to sleep too.
We've also had fun just hanging out. Yesterday we went to the train park. Today we had E's tball and my sister was kind enough to join us so that G could play with her while I was with E.
We also had an impromptu photo shoot!

Mommy Gifts
After attending school with E today I had to go back to work. When I came home, we took a look at the things he had made me.
One was a card with a cute question/answer page and another was a butterfly.
On Monday, he asked me to bring him something I made him at my school. I was finally able to remember so I brought him something I made. His response, "I love it, mommy! I just love it!"

My Gal and Me
Today at E's preschool was My Gal and Me day. I left work to meet E at school and when I arrived, he was clapping and jumping in excitement when he saw my car pull in.
I love when I can take some time off of work and see E in his own place of learning. It was so fun being there.
We played with trains, I had to paint my hand for a handprint, they sang us You Are My Sunshine, we ate donuts, made cases out of clay and fake flowers, and played with Little People.

The joys of parenting
Yesterday's "I'm the worst mom in the world for working out of my home" moment: Evan crying for the 3rd day (out of 4) when my mom has left at the end of the day. When I asked him what Grandma does that I don't, he says, "Grandma plays with me and all you do is make dinner."
Today's "I'm the luckiest mom in the world" moment: at the dinner table I was asking Evan questions. I asked him what he wanted to be when he grows up. He thought about it, then said, "I want to be like you!"
