So I’m laying here on the bed, home from work early because I hurt my back and am awaiting my chiropractor appointment this afternoon.  I’m done window shopping online, checking message boards for bargains and decided that I should update this blog thing! I had great intentions on writing a lot or at least posting pics often but instead I just make quick posts to facebook and neglect this. I’ll try harder I promise!

Lots has gone on! I went back to work a few weeks ago. All is going smoothly there and it’s nice to be back. School is back in full swing to that means no more nice parking spot *cry*, walking farther in the rain! It also means students stumbling into my office lost! It means the Professors, that I actually do miss from time to time, reappear from their breaks.

The kids are taking the new daycare better. Braysen LOVES it! He comes home beat tired and when he doesn’t fight us on naps he typically takes a nice long one. You can tell he’s playing and having fun because he tells me “have fun at Kim’s house”. He is Mr. Artist lately, loves to draw (even managed to get Patricks fairly new flatscreen tv the other morning…OOPS!) He tells me he’s drawing snakes, airplanes, helicopters, happy faces, tick tocks and many other objects. His circles look really good though (proud mom comment there!). He also is big into colors and shapes of things. We are always asking him what colors things are or what shapes and how many things he has. He seems to have those things down pretty well.  He is also into trains big time.  I mean the kid has loved anything with wheels for as long as I can remember but now he likes the whole train and train track building thing.

Merrick is 4 months.  Can you believe he’s already 4 months? He had a hard time at first with taking a bottle at daycare but seems to be better. Although, he doesn’t like to be put down for them which is kind of bothering at times. I feel bad for them and I feel bad for him. He gets put down all the time here, whether it be on his tummy or back, playmat, bouncing seat ..here there or everywhere! In fact, he scootches OFF his playmat now! No longer immobile, he’s off! He arches himself OUT of his bouncer so guess we need to start strapping him down! He rolls this or that way depending on what he wants. He also is grabbing things and putting them in his mouth. He’s growing like a weed, cooing REALLY loud and is the funniest little man.

Lots has been going on over the past few weeks but I just can’t seem to get myself to write.  Threw a baby shower for friend/neighbor Katie who is due any day now!  Went to a birthday party for 2 of the little girls in the neighborhood that turned 3.  Have been trying to get into the swing of water aerobics when not in pain with my back or when I’m not busy doing other stuff.  Would LOVE to lose more of my baby weight!  Had a girls night last week with some neighbors that I am just getting to know better and it was a fun night.  Had a bbq with some of our friends over the Labor Day weekend.  Painted the great room a different color, the “mint” green wasn’t working for me anymore.  Sam (a good friend of ours, affectionately known as Uncle Sam) came over to help us!!!  We <3 him.

Well, guess I’ll get ready to go pick up the kids at daycare and then hopefully lay low until 2:30 when I have my appt.

Someday soon I’ll do an update on my Fisher Price thing and some other stuff that is more like fun mom things!

Oh and I won a pair of baby legs from that site I linked on here last time!  SO COOL!  I NEVER win stuff and was very surprised!  Plus, I just love baby legs.

Back to RL!
