Our day

Yesterday was pretty boring for me, the highlight of my day was grocery shopping. Steven was busy helping his Dad with Aiden's bed. I had my first look at his quilt so far- exciting!

Had to get every last drop of her push pop.

After the kids went to bed, we settled in for some drinks and caught up with Jersey Shore. BLAH. It used to be one of the few shows we watched the night it came on, everything else we usually watch from the dvr. We watched three episodes last night. Its soo annoying to me now. But at the same time I can't stop watching. I think back to how I acted in my early twenties and I'd be SO embarrassed if those moments were frozen in time via tv, dvds etc. No matter how much money they're getting paid, they'll have to live with everybody knowing what idiots they were forever. At least my bad memories will eventully fade away. The amount of money they get paid also makes me sick.

Anyway... today was fun, it was all about the kids!

I made cinnamon pumpkin flavored pancakes for breakfast. YUM.

I told Aiden we'd go to Jump Up this morning, he was so excited. It didn't even cross my mind that it was a holiday til I was in the shower. I felt bad, this is the second time I've told him we were going but we didn't. Maybe I should just suck it up and go without Steven.

So we went to the park instead, he was just as happy.

Last time we came to this park was March or April, I had to keep going all the way up to ride down the slide with Rian but today, she went up all by herself. Exciting but sad for me at the same time. My baby's growing up.

It was nice because nobody was there til a few minutes before we left, I know I shouldn't think like that because Aiden needs to be around other kids. I feel bad for him sometimes. When we go on walks he always tell me he wants to find "new kids" and he always watches when the bigger kids are playing outside. He needs friends. He started playing with one of the little girls that came before we left, it was cute. She was sitting at the top of one of the slides and told him, "You better get up here before I fight with you!" Typical girl, bossy! I love how different the kids' personalities are. Aiden's always loved other kids, he runs up and starts playing right away. Rian just quietly does her own thing unless she's at home with Aiden.

After that we went out to lunch and came home so the kids could nap.

I haven't gone jean shopping since Aiden was 5 weeks old, dumb I know but I honestly didn't think I'd lose the weight. But I did and they were too big when it got cool enough to wear them... luckily I got use out of them with Rian's pregnancy and after I had her since she was a winter baby. But since then, I've been squeezing into old jeans that don't exactly fit my body shape anymore. I needed a good pair but I hate spending money on stuff like that, I'm SO cheap when it comes to clothes. I try to remember what Stacy London always says about the amount you spend and the amount of times you wear an article of clothing- you'll always get your money's worth. My favorites used to be American Eagle, I had a few pairs and I wore them til they were paper thin. So today I went and I'm so glad I did! Everything with a white tag was 50% off and if you brought in an old pair of jeans to be recycled, you'd get an additional 20% off of everything, definitely worth going back home and getting an old pair! I got $143 worth of stuff for $68. A pair of jeans, two shirts and a sweater.

When the kids woke up, Steven and Aiden ran a few errands and Rian and I had girltime. Steven came back with candy for the kids, spoiled. We had carne and pollo asada for dinner then went outside as usual.

And now we're going to watch Ant Bully. :)
