It's Been a Good Week

Shane took Silas outside to play in the snow tonight. It snowed last weekend but has stayed so cold all week that the snow remains. Welcome to central Illinois!

I put the babies to bed on my own while they played. I haven't done that in a long time. Shane and I have been tag-teaming bedtime since my parents left and I missed him tonight. Simeon was very ready for bed by the time baths were over (read: had a complete meltdown). But when I walked downstairs and saw Shane and Silas playing, I was really thankful we decided to let our firstborn, who hadn't been outside except to and from the car all week, stay up late and play.

I took all three babes to Walmart earlier today. We needed a few things and I was itching to get out. Here's how it went: I didn't feel good about putting both carseats in a cart so took our double stroller. I pushed the stroller and carried a basket for our items. Silas followed along and did so well I purchased him a Lightning McQueen plate that he loves. I got a lot of interested, compassionate looks and "Bless your heart"s from the older ladies.

We had stayed home earlier in the week. Here's us after our "picnic" yesterday...

Where's Simeon?

There he is!

Everybody chillin' before naptime...
Silas is watching the end of "Cars" as I write. It is quickly becoming my most watched movie of all time! His post-snow-play snack is over so we're heading to bed!
