Ahhhh The Weekend

I should have lots to blog about seeing as I have hardly blogged all week, but I don't. Well, I do but I don't have the concentration to sit down and write it all down now.

I'm just so happy it's the weekend and that I got to go out with the girls last night. A friend held a jewelery party, much like a tupperware or Arbonne party. Jewelery parties are far more fun. You come in the door to wine, laughter and good food and then the hostess directs you to a table full of pretty things and says please try on anything you like...including the earrings. Ah, so much fun to dress up and put on pretty things without having Emmett try to rip them off. Now the only problem is trying to convince myself NOT to order anything from the party.

New Thing

Each stage of development is so fun. Emmett isn't rolling or crawling yet but he is loving his tummy time more and more.

Oh and this his new thing
He loves his bottom lip. I think it's because of teething.

Whew

That was one long week. A long week filled with no sleep, lots of activities and a lot of mama on her own. My arms were so tired last night after all that carrying and holding I honestly couldn't hold our little guy very much. We were out all weekend getting ready for the parade yesterday. So it was a lot of running around and sqeezing down too small shopping aisles. Aisles that were not made for carseats...That means you Dollarama and Michaels!
waiting for the parade

So last night all three of us had long hot baths. Daddy and Emmett spent a good long while in their bath while I spent Forever in my steamy bath after they went to bed. It was heavenly. We're all feeling much better after a good nights sleep (hoping these continue). Now I'm stuck at home waiting for the UPS guy, he's coming sometime between 10:30 am- 2:30 pm. Really that means he'll be here at 2:29pm.

Sleep

I'm missing sleep these days. For the past two nights Wickett and Emmett have been kicking my butt by getting up every hour at night. Either one of them or both of them will get up to eat or go outside starting at 11pm and finishing at 8am. It sucks! Plus, I've just had trouble falling asleep. So everything is suffering, housework, emails, blogs, walks etc.

Christmasing it Up!

It's past Halloween and past Remembrance Day, so that must mean it's time for Christmas. Well, it does in our house at least. We've been really busy (hence the lack of blogging) getting ready for our city's Christmas Parade this Sunday. Brendan has a float in it so we've been getting that all set up. Can't wait for it. Christmas Parades really set the season.

We're having a huge Christmas here at our house this year. Brendan's parents and brother are coming in and staying with us, my family will join us on Christmas day for presents and dinner and fun, my brother and his girlfriend are coming home too. It's going to be great and I'm excited beyond words.

Then right after we have a few friends coming to stay with us for the World Junior Hockey run. Brendan and the boys can go have their fun and the girls can hang out and do our thing.

So I'm cleaning and Christmasing up our house already! Plus it's baby talk today - what a great day. Oh and the weather....BEAUTIFUL. We've had record highs all week. Although, I do hope it snows for Christmas.

There have been a lot of discussions over the H1N1 pandemic and should we or shouldn't we vaccinate? Emmett is too young for this vaccine and we've made our choices for ourselves but due to every one's strong reactions on this topic I'm keeping my opinions on this to myself.

Emmett is Almost 5 months. CRAZY. He's still so young but it someways it feels like he's been with us for forever and I can't believe that he's only 5 months.
