Time flies...

Wow, this week flew by!  Why is it that as you get older, the days, weeks, months, and years feel shorter?  It's a strange feeling, and lately I am having difficulty remembering what I did on certain days of the week.  Either I am aging really fast or I am like any mother who wakes up once or twice during the night to nurse a hungry baby.  Let's hope it's the latter!  So, let's replay the week...

Monday - This was the only uneventful day of the week.  We stayed inside and played with toys and watched movies.  It was chill and rather relaxing.  A good way to start the week if I must say so. Oh! I almost forgot - we painted the downstairs bathroom too.  Not sure I like the color, but I'll give it a couple more days and wait until the rest of the bathroom is finished.

Tuesday - The kids and I went over to my best friend's apartment for the afternoon and invited ourselves to stay for dinner.  Samantha was definitely excited to hang out at Auntie Kacey's house and play with her toy's (Auntie Kacey doesn't have toys, but Sam has this knack for making anything her toy.)  William also had a good time, and was a very happy, content baby.  Especially after he unleashed a fury of poo!  I'm talking about the kind of blow outs where the poo squishes out and up his back and then down the front of his legs. He received a bath right away!

Wednesday - We decided to join our friends for a play date/lunch date.  There were three moms and nine kids!  It was loud at times, but all in all a success!  Samantha had a great time playing with her friends!  I can't tell you how thankful I am for these days when she can socialize with other kiddos.  For so long, since about the age of three months old, Samantha has always been surrounded by other kids to play with thanks to day care, but now it's basically just me and her (and William too.)  I think it's so rewarding for kids to learn, at even an early age, how to socialize with other kids.  And now that she's not in daycare, I want to make sure she has the time and opportunity to be with others her age.

Thursday - Yesterday morning was crazy!  We all slept in which was a huge mistake since I had a massive to do list.  So, it was a quick breakfast for Samantha, I skipped breakfast (no surprise there), although I did make sure to squeeze in time for coffee!  We showered and bathed in supersonic time, and I was doing great until I realized I had no clean jeans to wear.  I did however have a load of jeans that needed to be switched over to the dryer.  Okay, I can do this!  I'll nurse William while the jeans are drying.  Perfect!  Wrong!  Williams was an angel, but I didn't realize until much later that the dryer setting was on low!  So my jeans never fully dried.  Nothing is worse than putting on a damp pair of jeans in the dead of winter.  Despite the crazy morning I was still able to make it out of the house at 10:05.  Not too bad considering all.  We quickly attended an open house for Koinonia (a Woman's Bible study and fellowship time), which I must say I am super excited about.  Later that night we had our good friends over for dinner, thankfully William took a long nap while I prepared dinner.  A good way to end a crazy day!

And Now it's Friday!!!  Yea for the weekend!  But this is not the only good news!  Steve and I bought a new car today! (Excuse me for all the exclamation marks, but I can't contain my excitement and shock)  I should clarify, we bought a used car, but it's new to us.  Lately our Jeep (which is no longer ours) has been a money pit!  Recently we took a trip to Spokane and on our way home the Jeep was wigging out!  It was a scary and unsettling feeling since we had both kids with us.  That's when we decided enough was enough!  So, now we have a safe and reliable car that we can hopefully drive for a very long time.  It's funny, but this is the first vehicle Steve and I have bought as a couple.  It wasn't funny however when we wrote the check.  We were both shaking a little bit and I am glad Steve wrote the check because I don't think my hands were steady enough.  But, I feel very good about the purchase despite the financial blow to our savings account.  I guess I'll have to go easy on the shoe shopping for a while :)  

I wondering what tomorrow will bring....
