Once again another Monday is gone and my little family is tucked into bed, minus me! We are looking into tearing apart our masterbath and putting in a jacuzzi tub, so I have been up doing research on the best way to go about doing it. It will be alot of work but would be so nice to have such a relaxing place to have a glass of wine and read a good book after B is tucked into bed. I thought I would hop on and share our busy weekend and some pictures. The weekend started off awesome as always and I am reminded everyday of what an amazing partner I have in Trav. He is so supportive and kind in all areas of our life, I am truly blessed. As you all know I have been sewing with my new serger (seriously the best gift I have ever received) and decided to make Bailey a shirt on a whim Saturday afternoon before heading to dinner with family. I HATE patterns so I just whipped it up as I went and it came out so cute. I have so many friends trying to talk me into starting up a website to sell my goods. I am not ready to devote tons of time to it, so it is a no for now. Trav and Bailey were both napping while I was sewing away and when he brought her downstairs he saw what I had been doing. It was then that he turned to Bailey and said "We are so lucky to have a mommy that can do so much". Of course it feels so wonderful to hear him say these things. Afterall a few nights before he made a comment to me that "people" think he is crazy for "allowing" me to be a stay at home mom. Now I did not even want to know if this is something someone said or just a vibe he gets from people. I could see one of his clueless friends saying something like that. The allowing part I find hilarious because me staying home was a decision we made LONG before we had Bailey, and he went on to say he doesnt think people understand, or maybe they are coming from a place of envy, or maybe they think me being a stay at home mom is a way of freeloading! LOL My response to him is who knows, I personally do not care what other people think, and it is not my job to make anyone understand why we make the choices we do for our family including me being a stay at home mom. Anyone who would look down on someone wanting to parent their child 100% of the time when they are able to live off of one income is ignorant in my opinion. Of course we both make small sacrafices for it to be possible, like Trav can't go to the bar 2x a week anymore and I do not spend 200 on getting my hair done, and we would both be willing to give up soooo much more if we had to so I can take care of our home. We got a good laugh over it all, and we both understand it will not be the last thing that "people" think we are crazy for. Weather it be a stranger, friend, or family someone is bound to have an opinion on something we are doing, but whatever that's life. I choose to turn a deaf ear. After having that interesting conversation, it was sweet to hear his kind words. So that afternoon headed out to Chili's for dinner where Bailey decided she was going to have a blowout during dinner. She may have been the first baby to get a bath in the bathroom sink at Chilis! lol What a mess it was, and did a number on her shirt I had just made. After some serious stain treating, I was able to get some pics of her in it today. Dinner was yummy and we headed to my nephew Anthonys birthday party at a bowling alley. We bought him this video game he wanted soooo bad and the look of shock on his face was priceless when I gave him our gift. It is sooo hard for me to believe he is 10 already! I remember holding him for the first time, and just falling in love. He is such a good kid and we had alot of fun. The kids are so drawn to Trav and Abigail kept having him bowl for her so he could help her win. It was nice to see my mom and sister since we do not get out that way much. It was great to hang out and just relax in a laid back environment. I miss the kids dearly so it was nice to have that time. Sunday was the superbowl and we packed up and went to a party that Travs friend was throwing. We drove seperate so I could head home early and get B in to bed, plus Trav brought his gokart to give the kids rides. His friends wife also stays home with her babies so it was fun to chat with her. I ended up having to leave before the game was over because Bailey was soooo tired. I had plenty of time to enjoy myself though and everyone was surprised that Bailey was such a happy baby. The cardinals lost, and Trav says it was because B left before the game was over. She was one little pooped cheerleader! Yesterday we also realized that little miss B has 2 more teeth on top. Now she has 8 teeth!!!! She cracks us up with her cute little smile. This morning I asked her if she wanted pancakes for breakfast and she said......Yeah! It was too funny. This weekend coming up should be another busy one, since we have a bday party to go to on Saturday and the chocolate festival in Glendale hopefully on Sunday. Well I better get to bed, Bailey and I are headed out to spend the day with my mom hopefully tomorrow, and I have some diapers to fold and put away before I check in.
