Long week

Monday Brady and I met our friends Erin, Campbell and Hudson at the mall first thing to walk. Man, those mall walkers are crazy! We were walking so fast that my thighs were tingling and I was sweating by the end of it. We went to the play area after to let the kids burn off some of their energy as well. My Mom came over for dinner that night and brought Matt a piece of her birthday cake. They both love Datenut cake so he was super excited to have a piece. They boys brought home their report cards, they are both doing fantastic in school, so proud of them!

Tuesday Matt left for Palm Beach. He has been home for a month and we never do well when he leaves after being home for a long time so it was no different this time. Brady was horrible! My angel baby is starting temper tantrums, not fun! He gets so mad so quickly if you tell him no. Hits you, throws things, bites, it is not fun! This time he decided to slam cupboards, until he smashed his fingers in there, ouch! The boys were extra needy at night, just what I need when there is only 1 of me and 3 of them.

Wednesday went a little better minus Brady felling down the stairs, ugh! He was fine but it's like a slow torture when you hear him hitting every step, thud, thunk, oh it's heartbreaking! And it's like slow motion and than he slams into the wall at the bottom, oh it's so horrible! Lots of extra cuddles that day! At night I made Twix Brownies and Cookies N Cream cookies, wowza! Like really, they might be the best cookies ever, they are so tasty! We had a rough night though. Brady was moving around and making noise a lot which keeps me wide awake, up at 4:45 and only fell back to sleep for a little bit, so tired!

Thursday we met my Dad and Grandparents at Olive Garden for lunch, always a nice time. And a couple came over when they were leaving to say what a good boy Brady is. We actually get that a lot and it makes you feel so good. We have always taken the boys to restaurants even when they were babies so they would know how to act and I guess it has paid off because they are such good boys. At night I hosted book club. There are 8 of us and everyone showed up. Lots of food, drinks, laughs and they were here until 12:30, fun girl night that was much needed!
