Our Mothers Mornings Out & More

This week for Vacation Bible School mornings, Liz and I have swapped days to watch each others babies so we can have a free morning or two!  This morning I watched Chase.  I had Gavin, Chase and Easton sleeping at the same time at one point.  Just call me the baby whisperer.  Before nap time Chase had fun trucking around.

Then at noon we had a little kitchen picnic, he and I.  I set him down to pour his milk and he just looked so happy that I sat with him and we shared turkey, cheese, crackers and peaches.  Very balanced meal.

Since Chase was in Easton’s crib he fell asleep here.  This is not uncommon for him to still fall asleep anywhere.  So easy going and an angel we think!

Yesterday, Liz watched Gavin and Easton for me at her house.  I got my nails done and did a little shopping.  It was great!  Chase is not used to having someone younger around the house like Gavin is used to.  He was so sweet to him.

Gavin did what he normally does, gets into things and is a random mess.  That’s Gavin!

According to Gavin here the conversation must have gotten dull.  His slouchy expressions says it all.  Must have been a tough morning.  Give me a break kid!

Here is some more of what we have been up to so far this week. 

 003 004

On Monday night I shucked some corn for dinner that I had bought at a farmers stand and I found a little green caterpillar in the corn.  It became Bradley’s pet for a day.  We made him feel right at home with a corn on the cob dish and water and a peach.  A pine needle to crawl on too!

006

Bradley had to keep moving him back onto the dish because he would crawl away.  So, somewhere on my back porch I will find this little guy dead or alive.  The things I do for my boys.

Bradley asked me to lay down with him for a little rest….

It was a little rest because Gavin came along….

My little peach….

001

Eating his first entire apple not cut up. He gobbled it all up and wanted to take it to bed with him to finish.  He got mad when I took it away.  Must have been a yummy apple with no worm in it! One critter in my food is about all I can handle in a week (or longer preferably)!

022We are off to the Lake House on Friday with Billy, Devon and the kids to have some fun.  Catch you bloggers on the flip side!  Peace, Love and Sunshine!

Chase looked like he was having so much fun! You ARE the little baby whisperer. Chase did so awesome today since he had his morning nap. Thanks so much! :)
