I initially started this whole blog as a way for Simon to get a glimpse of what we do on a daily basis, because sometimes it is easier for me to sit down and reflect on the day and write down what we did rather than going into detail on the phone. Normally when he calls I never know how long we will have to talk so I am focusing on making sure he knows I love him and how proud I am of him and forget to include the small things that we did that day! So today I am goin to play catch up from the past few days...
Friday night was the start of a gloomy weekend. Hurricane Lee put quite a damper on any Labor Day festivities we had planned. But Fri DAY, it was gorgeous outside and some cooler weather made for a perfect day to spend outside with my babies! I do believe we were out there all day. I made Kar a big pallet outside in the shade and me and Gray played until he was so sleepy he couldnt stand it anymore! We went to Kid's Rule Friday night and Gray had a blast. He learned to go up the slides by himself and people couldnt believe he was only 17 months old because he was acting so "big". This put me straight into "proud mommy" and "yea, thats my big boy" mode. Friday also marked the 1st day that Karlynn was rolling COMPLETELY over on her own and laying on here belly holding her head up so very well... again, I was one proud mommy! It is bittersweet seeing my babies growing up. But Friday night, really late, the rain set in, thus ruing any outdoor plans we could have had the following days.
Saturday me and momma attempted to go to Hattiesburg to see what Labor Day sales we could find. But going out in a tropical storm with 2 babies was obviously not very smart, we got soaked! Gray thought it was hilarious going outside in the rain... He is finally beginning to mutter out phrases that "sound like" he is saying stuff, whether or not he is, I guess we'll never know!
On Sunday, being stuck inside was beginning to get to us! We were all going stir crazy, and poor Gray was standing at the door every 5 seconds practically begging to go outside. So I made him a fort, and he loved it and it kept his attention for about 45 mins... he would hide out in it, and run back and forth out of it. It was cute, then the coolness of it obviously wore off. Thankfully the Brady's came to the rescue!!! Melissa and her family came to stay, and Grayson has so much fun following Conner around and trying to be big like him. But I was determined to play outside Monday, rain or shine!
Well Monday, of course it was still raining so I set out to find rain boots and ponchos so we could play outside! The kids loved being out in the rain splashing in the mudpuddles! It took me back to when me and Mimi were little and we used to do the same. It's crazy how I find myself doing so many of the things I used to do as a child with my children... I just wish Karson was here to take part in all of this!
Although this weekend wasnt too eventful I found myself so thankful for the small memories that were made with my babies! I just wish their daddy and big brother could be a part in the memories... I guess a part of my memories will always have a big hole in them because I will always be wishing for that little piece (karson) to be there with us!
