what's new, gertrude???

let's see......i've been slack on blogging so i hope i can hit the highlights and not bore you to death.
friday night i went to my first moms club event. it was family night at CiCi's Pizza. chris had to work late so i said "what the hell". i took all four boys by myself and it was not at all as stressful as i had inticipated. the older boys met some new buddies in the gameroom and i got to chat it up with the moms. i am really glad i did this - thank you chelley! this thursday afternoon is a boys party at another girls house and i hope i can get everyone picked up and make it to that one. should be fun - and chaotic.

saturday mom and i took the boys and went shopping and to a bowling birthday party. the boys had a super time. who knew my kids were good bowlers?!?! jacob scored 122 and neal 99, i think zach was in the high 80's. i laughed saying this would be the one "sport" jacob was good at - look out bowling scholarship. they had never played before so i was pretty impressed. thanks again deska for the invite! this was also the first time i've ever had to pump or nurse in a public bathroom. i did both. i suppose there always has to be a first time for everything right?

sunday was a lazy day. boy was that nice. and monday was more shopping. we are trying to find mikey some clearance newborn sized clothes - the kid is so little he has nothing to wear - he wears the same 4 or 5 things over and over, lol. i'm just not used to have a small kid. i didn't score him anything great but i did score a pair of yoga pants for myself.

today i cleaned out my closet and brought back out the non-maternity clothes. i still have a ways to go to get back into my "thin" clothes, but all the "fat" clothes i didn't give away last year fit, so i'm good for now. i am counting down the days until i can get back to the gym - i'm so ready to get my body back to where it was this time last year.

it's been hot as hell here lately - i'm so glad i didn't suffer through those last 4 weeks in this heat - look at this on my car thermometer - yes that reads "131"















sunday - chris decided to clean up "big nasty" (his big ole jacked up jeep). he came in to get something and when he went back out this is what he found. jacob will do anything for daddy - he's such a suck up!





















and a few pics of mr. mikey, one just sleeping so sweetly taken on sunday and one taken yesterday in his one "outfit" that fits - everything else is a sleeper or a onsie, lol - score this at the carter's outlet on saturday for $6 - go me!
