Weekend Recap

I don't really have much more for you this Monday then just a weekend recap. We had a pretty busy weekend. For the most part it wasn't too bad, but it was busier then most. Saturday was Husbands Dad's birthday and we were supposed to go over to his house for the weekend, but he decided to go out somewhere else and didn't accept our offer to drive out. So we ended up not doing that. We did have my Nieces First Communion Saturday evening though. That was fun! Full Church service and dinner after. Now, I actually have a story about this. I had a super cute outfit picked out for Chloe to wear. Pink and white stripe dress with a teal cardi to go over it. Chloe laid down for a nap around 1 something, and woke up around 3:30....Just in time to get her to wake up enough and get ready and be at church by 5, I thought....But that wasn't the case. She woke up around 3 ish screaming and crying like she was in some kind of pain. I thought that maybe she had to go poo poo. She's been having a hard time with this every once in a while, so that's automatically what I thought it was. She was showing all her normal "I have to poo" signs. So I went and got Husband for some help and we did what we always do. But, No poo. So we just let her rest a little and then tried to get her dressed and ready to go. She REFUSED to wear the dress that I had sitting out for her. So I got another dress out, and she didn't want to wear that one either. But she wasn't AS against that one, so we went with it. Then, the shoes? Cute sandles? Yea, NOT! Guess again....the only shoes she would allow us to get NEAR her feet were her dirty tennis shoes that she wears to day care. Ugh....whatever. Lets just go. On the way to the church I said to Chloe "Are you going to be cranky and difficult at church today?" "Nooooo"Daddy - "I'll bet my life savings against that!"
On the way out of churchDaddy-"Boy am I glad I didn't bet my life savings!"
Seriously! She was SOOOOO good during the service! Like an Angel! I was shocked! The way she was before we left the house, I would have never thought.So, by this time it was WAY past her dinner time, and we hadn't even gotten to the restaurant yet, so we stopped for McDonalds for Chloe so she could eat something right now. Got her some Chicken nuggets and apples. So she was good while we ate. And she still decided that she was a little hungry for a whole helping and a half of brocolli while we were eating. So that was good. She did really good with my parents and brother and sister-in-law. She loved my niece, and my Dad best of all. And by the end of the night she was giving hugs and kisses out everywhere. So that was really good!!! Sunday, I had planned for a really fun and exciting Mommy Daughter day out. Daddy went golfing for his best buds birthday. But once Chloe and I got out to Target for a few things, she was tired....so we went home, ate lunch and she took an hour and a half long nap. Woke up watched a little bit of MMCH and then went to BRU for some new bath toys. And that was the extent of our great, fabulous Mommy Daughter day. Not exactly how I wanted it to go, but oh well. We had fun with it...besides when she was crying for her Daddy.....yea. I'm pretty sure she saw a white car at BRU....she pointed to it, got a really sad, pouty lip look on her face and said "Daddy...." and started crying. I died.....yea, She loves him.Next Weekend is Mothers Day and my Daddy's birthday. They live up north, so I won't be seeing them, but We will be doing something fun for MY day. So, you will see that post next week, I'm sure!Happy Monday all...have a Great Week!!

House Update

I know that my last House Update stated that we were going to be closing on or by May 3rd...well that date has come and gone, and we're still waiting for word from the bank. Sucks, and it's making it hard for us, because we have people that have given us a deposit to rent our house. The last that we heard from our Real Estate Agent is that they expect us to be able to close by the end of May. SO we are REALLY hoping that this happens! Either way, the couple WILL be moving into our house by end of June. And if we don't have the keys to our house yet, then we're gonna have to move into Husbands Mom's house. Not ideal, but it will give us the time that we need, and also allowing us to save some money for a little while until we have that 2nd mortgage to pay. It won't be horrible either because Husbands Mom and Step Dad move to their Lake House when the kids get out of school for the summer, and we will be moving into their other house. Probably set Chloe's crib up in the basement.....maybe? I honestly don't know. We shall see how this next couple of weeks pans out. It should get pretty interesting if we don't get the bank to do what they need to do. We were hoping to hear something from the last week, and that didn't happen....so lets hope that we hear something soon.Wish us luck ladies. We would like to own this home sooner rather then later. As in BEFORE July, preferably. We're going on vacation in July, and Chloe's 2nd birthday is August 20th. So I'd like to be able to have her party at our new house! So....keep those fingers and toes crossed! Thanks Girls!!

Insta-WHAT?!

Insta-GRAM Baby!! 

That's right. I know that it's been over a few weeks, at least, now...but I must say that I am soooooo happy that Android finally jumped on the Instagram bandwagon! Cuz, I love it!!! And I love that I can follow all of my fellow Android AND iPhone users! It's just amazing to be able to see first hand all the pictures that are always being posted on Twitter! I LOVE IT!!!
And, Thanks to Katie over at Loves Of Life for telling me (and everyone else) about Statigram! I'm able to post my Instagram pics on this little ol' blog of mine...so, here are some of my favorites as of yet.

Some old, some new....but I love "em all!!!

Have a great Thursday, Ya'll!!

So What! Wednesday!

Linking up with Shannon over at L.A.I.D for So What! Wednesday!This week I'm saying So What! If:

• We switched Chloe to a toddler bed this weekend. No previous intentions of doing it...just did it, and well....so far so good! She loves it!
• Counting calories hasn't been working for me. So, I'm starting to count my points now, and I'm sticking to that until I drop my last 4 lbs....yes. 4 lbs. I know...I've gained, and then lost this damn 1-2 lbs for the past 3 weeks. It's pissing me off!!
• One of Chloe's teachers at Day Care put the wrong pair of pants in her cubby, like months ago, so we just kept them! Chloe wore them on Sunday, and I love them!!! Ooops, oh well. It's not our fault!!
• I used volumizing moouse for the FIRST time last week, and styled my hair...I LOVED IT!!!!!
• We have renters for our house and we don't have a house of our own yet....according to the professionals, we should be closing end of May. We hope!
• I have been doing NOTHING but read 50 Shades of Grey lately. And I can't get enough. So if I'm like MIA in the blogging world, that's why! Sorry....Mr. Grey has me intrigued...

That's all for now. Thanks for reading! Make sure to go link up with Shannon over at Life After I "Dew"!!

It's Big Girl Bed Time!!!

With absolutely NO intentions of switching her.....ANYTIME soon. I'm not sure exactly what came over us. And by us, I mean Husband. He went to lower her crib on Saturday morning, and then when he was finished, her crib had magically turned itself into a toddler bed....

"Well, what are we supposed to do with this?!"

"We're going to see how she does...."

"Alright, I guess...if you say so"

That's about the conversation that happened when I realized what he was doing.

Nap time actually came a lot sooner then I had anticipated. Normally she's fighting it at around 1:30-2:00....but today?? She came to me with her lovey, bucky (stuffed animal duck dressed as a bunny) and the TV remote. Basically telling me to change the channel to Sesame Street and she was tired. 

So, I did just that, and literally within minutes, she was fast asleep in my arms. So, I carefully transferred her from my arms to her big girl bed and just hoped for the best.

And an hour and a half later, she woke up and everything was normal. It was awesome! I was so proud of her!!!!

And then the dreaded bed time came. I was not looking forward to this. I thought for sure she would fight it, and  girl wouldn't actually get to bed until like 11pm....OR I would be the one that broke down crying telling Husband to change the toddler bed back to a crib like NOW! At 10pm! But neither of those things happened! We did our normal bed time routine....we watched sesame street on the couch while she drank some milk. We get up and change her diaper, and then we give kisses and then we lay her down and pat her back a little and then leave her alone. Well, we did just that, except that I stayed next to her patting her back pretty much until she was on the verge of falling asleep. And then I quietly slipped away. I thought for sure she's be getting up and following me out of her room ready to party, but she didn't. She just turned her head the other way, and we didn't hear a peep out of her until the next morning. 

Husband actually opened her door before she woke up, that way when she did wake up she could come out whenever she wanted to. 

So, that's that. So far so good. She's officially in a Toddler Bed. I didn't have ANY intentions on this transition until WELL after we moved. But with her moving to room 4 on Monday at Day Care, and starting the Potty Training process, I think it was a good move. 

Also with us going to Maine in July, and there not going to be a crib for her to sleep in, this will get her used to that. So we will have a good sleeper on vacation. Nothing worse then a not sleeping/tired/cranky toddler on vacation!!
