Seriously! I knew adding another child into the family would create a big change in the day to day rituals, but I didn't expect it to be THIS much of a change! I forgot how much needier babies are, and didn't expect my almost 3 year old to become even MORE needier than he already was! Apparently I'm an idiot! I miss my old routine when I had time to CLEAN my house, workout, spend time on lavish meals and for heavens sake be able to TAKE A SHOWER! I feel like such an idiot for not being able to figure out how to do this, especially when I take care of people for a living. I can't wait for Abrie to get into a more defined routine so that I can plan a day! On another note, I'm so grateful for my sweet husband who took care of the kiddos while we were down in Utah so that I could go get a pedicure with my mom and sister. It was heaven, and my feet feel so much better (I feel extremely bad for the little Asian woman who had to "scrape" my nasty heels!).
Oh, and I didn't get a single picture from the 4th! NOT ONE! I got a couple on my phone from the night before when we went to my brother's house to do some fireworks, but that's it. I had a bad night with Abrie the night of the 3rd because she was so stinking hot and couldn't sleep, so Brian let us sleep in and we barely got up in time to make it to the parade. That's about as patriotic as we got that day! Landen fell asleep as soon as he got back in the car and slept for 4 hours, so we ordered in some Famous Dave's (so not as good as KC BBQ), and watched some movies. Landen didn't enjoy the fireworks at my brother's house, so we didn't even go to the big firework show and opted to give Landen a good night sleep instead. I'm sad we didn't get any pictures of Abrie in her cute 4th of July outfit my mom bought her, and none of all of us in our cheesy Old Navy t-shirts, so we might have to re-enact it soon.
In the meantime, I need to start finding the time to go through the house and get rid of stuff! The movers will be here on the 26th of this month!!! It's coming quickly, and I'm so not ready. We don't even have an idea of where we're going to live yet! It will work out, I know, I just need to figure out how to be more OCD like Kate Gosling and organize my day better.
Here's one of the movies we watched on the 4th....amazing!

It happens to all of us. Every time a new child is added, chaos and insanity ensue. It will get better! I promise!
It is fun trying to figure out how to manage your time. I am trying to do that now with going to the hospital 2 times a day and take care of Carson and McKenna and clean my house. Good luck with the move.
Great movie.
Children make our lives interesting. I'm so grateful I've been blessed with 6 of them. I promise, it will work itself out. Looking at my 16 and 15 y/olds, I am reminded that not only does it go quickly but you only have one chance to get it right when they are young. So have them work alongside you and teach them about things that matter... like pedicures! Good job on taking some feet time.
