Will and I were driving in the car today and he said out of the blue...."anymore kids mom?"...and before I could really answer he said.."I'd really love a baby sister" and then he started telling me all the girls names that he likes. Meg, Sarah, Jennifer and Audrey. Those are his favorite girls names. He then said that if I couldn't get pregnant (his words..I know)...than maybe we could adopt. I love this kid. He's such a great big brother to Griffy. And I could think of a million girl names.
This weekend we
cleaned and purged and painted
drove to Cambridge twice
rowed on the Cape
had two sit down family dinners..in a row.
With music and candles
and no fighting.

A lot. The whole family claps and yells "yeah!" he loves it.

Bought pumpkins and mowed the lawn.
grocery shopped again.

slept in

I love our weekends. Even though they're jam packed and loud and crazy. Some day it'll just be Steve and I and we'll be bored.
love it and you know that you can still have Isabelle for a name:) I can't believe that he is walking, OMG wasn't he just born.
ReplyDeleteWow. Just wow. You do kids SO well!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great weekend. Family dinner with music and candles? I love that, and I'm going to do it too!!! If I can't take a family of five out to a fancy dinner, we'll just do it at home:)
ReplyDeleteWhen those little ones ask for a baby brother or sister it's so hard to deny that. At least for this almost 41 year old mama it is. Glad you had a nice weekend.
And what was your answer? Still sticking with your guns?
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a great weekend. And you've motivated me to pull out some candles for dinner tomorrow night.
Are you counting down the hours till Friday yet?
I can just feel the excitement in your family celebrations. What a wonderful weekend!! WIll is such a cutie!
ReplyDeleteWill is such a sweet boy. Looks like you had a fun full weekend!
ReplyDeleteBoy, that sounds like a week's worth of activity and great fun! I must say that by the time you are an empty nester you and hubby will relish quiet days together ,as it should be....and.... look forward to the kid's visits.
ReplyDeleteI thought I saw...no fighting...and dinner..on your list in the same sentence.
ReplyDeleteI am jealous!
Sounds like a full and fun weekend!
Trust me, there won't be much time to be bored when it's just you and Steve ... the grandkids make sure that there's no boredom!!!
