oh what a night!

The weather is so nutty lately. It's cold then it's quite warm. The boys both had a little cold, then I felt like I was getting it, and then today poor little Emily had a drippy little nose. Regardless, we had a pretty good day (well, until this evening!)..

We enjoyed a little time outside after Jacob got home from school. I thought I'd pull a few more weeds from my flower beds.. Emily thought I should hold her. She won.

She was babbling to Zach for all of 10 seconds when I set her in the bouncey seat. Then the screaming started!

big brown eyes. Just like his mama. (Jake's got them too!! I say they get them from me

 
It had been awhile since we had out the Gator or the Tractor--they've been shoved in the back of the garage and we couldn't get to them! Well, the battery on the gator was pretty much dead and the tractor only had a little juice left in it..they still had fun though!

vroooom

He must've thought if he gave it a push it'd start. Might've worked if there would've been a clutch but nope..no clutch.

Hey mom!

skateboarding!

Emily's first John Deere tractor ride!

The battery was dead at this point and he thought he'd fix it. Good Luck, Tater Tot. :-)

 

Emily's first John Deere tractor ride with Jacob!

 

The boys were ready to go inside, so was Emily. As they were parking their toys in the garage Zach fell and bumped the side of his face on a table. Poor thing has a huge red mark on his face now.

 

Emily seemed to really feel crummy after we went inside. Not only did she have a runny nose but she was tired..and it wasn't bedtime yet (and was too late for a nap). She was not the happiest member of our family tonight..in fact, she was the least happy! Fixing dinner was not happening since she was so unhappy (and remember, I was a single mom tonight!) so we ordered a pizza (online too...there would've been nooooo way we could've called to order and had anyone hear what we wanted!). While we were waiting for the pizza, the boys got in the shower to get cleaned up (it was already after 6..we normally eat close to 5:30) and Emily and I went upstairs to get her jammies. After a few steps going back downstairs, I slipped and she and I tumbled down the steps...tumbled isn't exactly accurate, we sort of slid sideways. Nonetheless it scared my sweet little girl so bad. She ended up with a little scratch on her cheek and a little bruise. I feel absolutely awful about it. As my good friend Sarah reminded me though, Emily won't remember it, only I will. I hope we all have a good nights sleep...we sure do need it after our evening!
