Hilton Head Island

We spent the last week in Hilton Head Island with the Cass Family.  We had a blast!!  The weather was beautiful!!!  We rented bikes, flew kites, did sidewalk chalk drawings on the pool deck, played with bubbles, went for walks, went out for dinner, played at the pool, and went to the BEACH!!! Such a wonderful vacation!!!  I already miss it and am looking forward to next year!!!

Errands.... tackling the grocery!

So over the last 2 years I have gained a new appreciation for mothers running errands with their kids.  Especially the grocery!!!  I do a huge shopping trip once a week with the 2 boys and it can be exhausting!!!!  I have learned that having a grocery list is a MUST!!  Planning all meals is another MUST!!! It makes the trip faster and more efficient. 

Garrett loves to pick out the fruit and helps to bag all the produce.   He starts off pushing his own small cart but by the end I am usually pushing the big cart and dragging the small cart.  So sometimes we resort to the stroller with the car at the front.  Either way we do it it's is a circus!!  But it has to be done.  We also open many items as we go so the boys are entertained with food :) 

Why is that Sams and Costco are the only places with the double seat at the top of the stroller???? 

Here is a picture of the boys and the cart full of groceries!  I'm ready for a nap!!  

The "Tractor" PJ's

These are Garrett's FAVORITE PJ's.  When I say Favorite I mean he asks to wear them EVERY night!!  Right after his bath he starts saying "Tractor, mommy, peazze"!!!  The love for these jammies started when he was only a year and a half old!!  YES these are size 18 month!!   He loves them so much that still wants to wear them even though it a now a belly shirt and capris on him!!!  Garrett wears a size 2-3T so you can imagine how small these are on him!!!  I keep putting them in Dylan's dresser drawers but Garrett will take them out.   Too funny!!!  Here is a picture from last night of Garrett wearing those Tractor PJ's again!!  Check out the belly shirt!!!

Meatloaf Night!

This was my first time making this meatloaf recipe and I was very impressed with the way it turned out!!  So was the family!!  It got a 4 out of 4 approval :) 

The Library.... Love it!!!

My kids love the Hyde Park Library.  We go once a month for new books.  The library is very kid friendly and Garrett is able to check out his own books by himself!!  So cute!! Here is the new stack of books: 

Garrett couldn't wait to read his new book!
