World Premature Awareness Day

Today is the day where Instagram and Facebook is flooded with all these amazing pictures of the littlest fighters from the NICU. I thought this year I would show a then and now picture. It blows me away! I'm in awe daily and give thanks to God for his hand over them, modern medicine, the amazing doctors and nurses at the NiCU, and to my two fighters who fought so hard to be here today. I think this is the first year where they kind of get their birth story. They said... So we could have died a long time ago if they didn't have all the stuff they do now. Wow!!! But thankfully my answer to them was - yes, but you didn't and you both fought so hard to come home to us. 

Baby Smiles

I was in need of some serious baby fix. I spent the morning with my niece Hailey. What a sweet little peanut with the cutest head of hair! Then I got to see Mr. Walker. Oh my goodness those cheeks! I thought I was imaging it, but I got a few legit smiles from him. Of course I pull out my phone and I'm not fast enough to catch a really good one 

Last Bath

This sweet boy got the last bath in the old bathroom right after he lost his top, front, left tooth. It's official he looks like a Jack-o-lantern. 

Well the bathroom remodel couldn't come at a better time. The knob on the bathtub just popped off making for to be tricky to turn the water on and off. Because we can't seem to get the handle on just right the pipes shake when we turn  on the water because it's too low. Awwww... The next bath we take will be so quiet and relaxing. I have been a stress case over what to pick. Having two little boys who are learning to still go to the bathroom standing up is causing me lots of thinking. Gone will be the big grout lines and hello gray grout that I don't have to stress over! 

Time Change

I LOVE daylight savings time... Said NO MOTHER EVER! I remember loving the day that would give me an extra hour sleep. Unfortunately my kids have not gotten the memo to sleep in. They are up bright and early before I care to be up, want to eat at odd hours, and are a mess by 6:30 at night. Oh the joys! 

It's beginning to look like...

Craft faire season! There are stacks of growth charts, buntings and more buntings to be sewn, and wreaths all over. I decided to take a quick break from that action to make a little something for our house. I saw this quote at a student's house and fell in love! 

I spent a couple  hours designing it and building it. I broke out the saw and drill and quickly put it together. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and can't wait to hang it over our piano.  Here is where I will be this Saturday. I'm sure Chris is counting the days until I get the stuff out of the house. 

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween from the Super Santopadres! The kids were Super Girl, Batman, and Ironman. Mommy and Daddy went as Clark Kent and Cat Woman. The kids told me I was actually a bad person for a few years and then Cat Woman turns nice. Yikes... I guess i better brush up on my super heros. We had a long sugar filled day. The day started off with a sweet parade at Tiffani's house and then we trick or treated at the outlets, saw Baby Hailey, and trick or treated around our neighborhood. The kids had a blast and came home with  very heavy pumpkins. The trading started as soon as we got home and mommy was slightly eager for bed time so I could "inspect" their candy. 

Halloween 2015 is in the books. :)
