Fun stuff

J had scheduled to take this week off after last week being so crazy with activities at work.  It was a great decision on his part!  He & C left for a little dad-son overnight adventure yesterday after C got done with preschool.  It was very cute to see C so excited.  He made a list of everything he wanted to do with Josh.  This was the first time he really wanted to write anything which made me happy.  They will be back sometime this afternoon.  H mentioned several times yesterday afternoon and last night how she missed C.  My favorite comment was "It just doesn't feel like home without daddy & C here."  Precious.

While the boys were gone, the girls & I headed to the mall for lunch with friends.  Always fun.  We did a little shopping and I found Christmas dresses for the girls.  I LOVE them and am very excited that I was able to find them and can cross that off my list!  I also found what I think might be the baby's coming home from the hospital outfit.

I tried M's dress on her at the store.  She burst into tears when she realized that she didn't get to keep it on and had to put her other clothes back on.  "But I want to stay a princess," was her mournful proclamation.

They also had this outfit that I could not resist.  I think it is the cutest thing.


I stood for the longest time looking at the 0-3 month size pants thinking, "They look so tiny/short.  Do I need to get the 3-6 month size?"  They didn't have 3-6 month anyway, but I decided that it has just been too long since we've had a baby at our house and I've forgotten how small new babies really are.


A little monkey had to have her picture taken while I was taking pictures of baby brother's new outfit.



It is breaking my heart to pull out the 3T clothes and have most of them fit M.  She isn't supposed to be that big already.  Plus, H was always such a pip squeak.  I'm certain H wore a lot of the clothes when she was more like 3-1/2, not 2-1/2.  I'll just go ahead and say it again...it just doesn't seem right that M is big enough to wear some of these clothes.  Bittersweet.

Yay for finding the girls' Christmas dresses already. The outfit for baby boy is cute too! That made my laugh smile about the fact that M didn't want to take off her dress. That's exactly the opposite of how my girls would respond to being all dressed up!

That is so sweet what H said about missing her brother and dad! I hope C is having a ton of fun with his dad!

I got the Christmas dresses crossed off early this year too and it felt so good!

That little outfit is too cute for baby brother...he'll swim in the pants and then the next thing you know they'll be halfway to his knees!
