Spray & Wash

Tonight we took Dylan & Noel to Emma’s Birthday party. Emma is an adorable girl Dylan met in the nursery at church. The party was outside so as soon as we got there Dylan took off running and playing. For the party I put him in these really cute White shorts with red and navy blue plaid. Out of the corner of my eye I could see him sitting in the sand box, falling in the dirt and putting rocks on his lap. Now I know why those shorts that were originally $30.00 were marked down to $5.00, because every other mom (who is smarter than me) would go nuts trying to keep their son out of the dirt and therefore avoid white shorts. I thought I had out smarted Gymboree, but it turns out the joke is on me! It was all I could do to keep my mouth shut, but I wanted to tell Corbet to not let Dylan play in the dirt, but I didn’t because I know how that would have gone over. Corbet is already worried Dylan won’t have an immune system because I use too much hand sanitizer. So tonight I will be spray and washing Dylan’s $5.00 shorts and trying to think of a situation where he can wear them without getting them dirty.




Gratitude

• I am really grateful Dylan had so much fun at the party. He loves being outside and I love giving him those opportunities.

• Corbet brought home Emma’s Birthday present… a baby doll. He is never too proud to buy a doll or nursing pads or anything else embarrassing. He is such a good guy!

• I have the same habit as my mom. I save gift bags. I have a special bin I put them in to reuse. Tonight I picked out a cute…slightly used bag to wrap Emma’s present in. I am grateful I saved 4 bucks on a bag!!

• Both my kids are sleeping and they went down without a fuss! I put Noel to bed awake and she fell asleep on her own!!! I also got eight hours of sleep last night! Could it be… could Noel really be on this great sleeping schedule? I hope so!
