So Monday morning Dad was back to work and me and the boys were home to fend for ourselves. Dad being home has kept the older one occupied and has been wonderful. I was more worried about him then the little one.
Thankfully Matthew was fantastic all day. We even ventured out and had lunch with granny. So nice to get out!
Tuesday was another test. I had to get both boys ready and get Matthew to school on time then Silas and I made our way to a mom’s only meetup.
A quick photo shoot with my cutie!
At the meetup we learned some card making techniques. These are the 2 cards and 1 tag that I made. How awesome are they and really easy! I cant wait to try my hand at making some more!
Then it was rush to get back to get big brother and home to regroup for a second before we went to play at Christy’s. Evelyn and Luke hadnt seen Silas yet and it was a nice afternoon so why not visit for a bit.
Evelyn was too funny ohhhing and awwwing and saying “Hi baby”! She was so excited to hold him!
And Luke thought he was cute and he kept coming over to look at him while he was playing.
Matt had a great time playing and I was so thankful to be having an adult conversation!
Enjoying a treat!
Wednesday was a day at home. While I got quite a bit accomplished it seemed like I didnt get anything done. But as we enter the 2nd half of the week I must say it has been rather successful!
I am gonna call this weekend a mom’s weekend because mom got to get out of the house and hang with friends!
Saturday it was the day for Wicked!! I was so excited! I have wanted to see this Broadway Musical for years and couldnt believe that the day was here. Christy, Christina and I road to Nashville and met Carrie and her mom at TPAC! We were just in time for the show to start!
I grabbed one picture of the closed curtain because you couldnt take any pictures during the performance!
And wow what a performance it was! Fantastic doesnt even describe it. After the show we all enjoyed dinner at Cheddar’s before heading home. That girls dinner was just what this tired momma needed! A fun filled day and the best part was that Jeff survived being at home with both boys all by himself! hehehe
Sunday was family day at church and also Silas’s first time at church.
After church I ran to Murfreesboro to see Annie at the Arts Center. It was for the Fall Event for the Nashville area sorority. I missed the lunch part but met up with Suzi and made it for the play. I do love the local community plays and this one was great as expected.
Friday morning baby brother and I went in to wake Matthew. I took the chance and got some pics of the two boys together.
Smiley baby
The reason for getting up and ready early was to take Silas to the dr. He had to go in for a weight check. So off we headed. And what a relief it was when the scale read 7 lbs 5 oz! He was over his birth weight and he gained 1/2 a lb in a week! Fantastic!! Dr said he looks great and he sees no reason to see him before his 2 month check up so unless something changes or we just want to come in and weigh him then we wont go back until Dec!
After the dr appt it was a special lunch for us all. Time for some hibachi! Matthew was so excited as you can see. The waitress we had was the same one Dad and Matt had while mom and Silas were still in the hospital. She remembered them and was so excited to see baby brother! It was too funny.
Our family pic for Silas’s 1st trip to the Japanese place! Love this!
Of course after spending the rest of the afternoon at home hanging out we decided last minute to go to the drive in. We watched Puss in Boots (well Dad and Matt did cause mom and brother slept through most of it!) and then Footloose! Mom woke up for that one and so glad she did. What a great job they did with that remake!
Checking out the condiments while we were getting some popcorn!
A full day of firsts for the little one! What a great day it was!
Nothing better than watching some cartoons on a Wed morning!
Some cell phone pics of our 2 week old! These 2 weeks have flown by. Little man is losing the newborn look and looking like a baby now.
Love the cat keeping watch on things!
To kick off the month of November I took Matt to school and even went grocery shopping alone while Dad and Silas hung out at home. Wow what a quiet trip it was! hehehehe Then we got Matthew early from school and took him to town for a surprise! He got to see a life sized Lightning McQueen, Mater and Finn McMissile. He thought it was awesome.
We stood in line for an hour I guess but we did come away with some awesome goodies including bags, beach towels, atlases, fun straw cups and stickers and colors and coloring book and all kinds of stuff! I think Matt had a good time.
Silas just sleeping and oblivious to waiting in line
Plinko – State Farm style
A picture with Mater! Too bad the sun was right in the kids eyes cause they really were excited and smiling it just looks like they are squinty from the sun
Lightning!
And of course Finn!
Matthew being posed by the State Farm photographer guy! lol
Looking for the clues with his spy glass. He really liked this part!
Then it was time for chili supper at Matthews school for a fundraiser. Yummy food and a great time.
Jeff snapped a couple pictures of the kids signing some songs. It’s kind of like Where’s Waldo?! Can you find Matt??
He played in his classroom with his friends for most of the evening
