Choosing to shop with Holdyn...

 is like choosing to poke yourself in the eyes with dull pencils... seriously! There are some places you can take Holdyn (walmart, grocery store, park, fire station!). There are some places you can NOT take Holdyn (ToysRus!!). The places that I can not take Holdyn too, I try to go to those places and accomplish those tasks while he is at school. Baby sister goes everywhere. Taking her in and out in and out is a pain, but she doesn't act like a nut, running up and down the aisles, putting random things in your buggie, and having to look at everything.single.thing. This week is a 3 day school week so I am extra rushed to get everything done in those 3 days. I planned to finish the last few things today and run errands.... the one day that baby sister slept the entire time Holdyn was at school. Seriously. Yeah I got all of the laundry done, sheets washed, and birthday party goodie bags finished, but those oh so important errands that NEED to be run without Holdyn.. yeah that pretty much didn't happen! I had to run in to ToysRus to get a birthday gift so I decided to knock that out, cause I would rather take Holdyn to a grocery store than a toy store! We HAD to go in to Kroger to get laundry soap and orange juice. Holdyn rarely has 'changes' but when he does, you know. For example, he only used to drink apple juice. He woke up one morning after 2 years of drinking apple juice and proclaimed that he HATES apple juice, and now he will only drink orange juice. So when you are out of orange juice, THAT is a problem. Taking Holdyn in to Kroger can also be a problem... unless he is out of cookies. He refused to go to Kroger with me. Doesn't matter that he is out of Orange Juice. He wouldn't understand the severity of it until he got home and asked for something to drink. It dawned on him that we was out of cookies so on the way home from school he was THRILLED to go to Kroger and get cookies... and see the lobsters. A normal run in grab 2 things and run out turns in to an hour long unloading kids, get juice, detergent, .... and cookies!! then everybody loads back up. Phew. Makes me tired just thinking about it. Shopping with Holdyn + no sleep= no wonder my lymph nodes are swollen and my body is trying to fight off some illness I am trying to get. How convient. Right Before the big birthday party. Right before our big road trip. Excellent.

Speaking of the Birthday party, do people NOT know what RSVP means? I mean seriously. When it says 'Regrets Only' well yeah only call when you can't come. There is a difference when it says 'RSVP' and that means you call regardless!! Jackson's mom and I have been chasing down 3 parents this week trying to find out if their kid is coming.. seriously!! Makes a difference on how many goodie bags I make, how big we order a cake, and how much pizza we order. And don't get me started on the adults... there are SEVERAL adults we invited that I haven't heard a word out of them. When we have to order cake, food, etc. it does make a difference if you can come or not! Do they just plan to show up on Saturday? Or not show up? Guess we will see! I have had several very nice people who have called and won't know if they can come until last minute or not for one reason or another. They don't just ignore the RSVP.... they were nice enough to call. Geez it's not that hard! Ok, off my soapbox.

Kinda sorta missin the hubs today :) goof ball! 
Look how big Hyres is getting! He loves 'stuffed' things. He only has a froggie. Mommy needs to wash froggie! Mommy got him a cute duckie yesterday. He loves it very much!

Speaking of big, look how BIG this sucker is that mommy and daddy brought Holdyn back after our anniversary night out!

 Speaking of  BIG again, look how BIG sweet baby sister is getting! She will be the big ONE in just 3 short weeks. Where in the world has the last year gone?!

Holdyn is now sound asleep for nap time. I knew he needed one after his 4 am wake up! He tried to fight me on it, but within 3.2 seconds, the boy was sound asleep! Thanks goodness. Hopefully he will be in a good mood to have some fun playtime with Emma tonight. They haven't gotten to play all week! It's the 'end of the world' subject with a 3 year old, going on 4!
