Fun weekend

Holy busy weekend Batman!

Yesterday was devoted to Hudson. Isn't everyday?

We finally cut his hair a little bit
Before pic


Ate at Roast Grill


Played at the pool sans camera and then went to Carter's super fun birthday party.
Mr. and Mrs. Wuf were there and the 2 boys LOVED them!!! Hudson was their shadow and followed them around the entire time waiting for high five's! Mr. and Mrs. Wuf had to take a little break because they were so hot and Hudson cried and cried, Carter chased after them. They were so funny.








I am definitely ready to enjoy Ruth Chris with Jonathan tonight and then go to sleep!

Bad habit

Hudson is so funny when it comes to taking pictures. He either begs me to take one by screaming "cheese, cheese" or he picks his nose as soon as you get the camera out.
Case in point -






All I wanted was a nice picture before church!


Here are some other cute pictures from the past week

Ready for Sunday School


Hudson loves the slide


Playing with Grandpa

What is in your bag?

Looking in a woman's pocketbook is always entertaining. I carry a HUGE bag because it is fashionable (in my opinion) and allows me to carry Hudson's things. Here is a peak inside



1. A bag that holds chapstick, lipstick, lotion, kleenex

2. Altoids

3. Hudson's truck book

4. A bag of Lego's (easy entertainment when eating out)

5. Lollipops- easy bribe for Hudson

6. Placemat covers for eating out

7. 2 trucks

8. Old cellphone for Hudson to play with

9. Chapstick

10. Fruit roll ups for Hudson

11. My compact mirror

12. Pens

13. Wallet

14. My phone

15. Diapers and wipes

And when we leave the house I always throw in a water for Hudson and a snack.

Does my bag scream that I am a mom??? What is in your bag?

The cure to not eating

I have found the cure to never finishing a meal..... a 2 year old!

Hudson was so good running errands with me Wednesday, he got a special treat. Goodberry's!

He started with vanilla


Realized mine was chocolate and asked for some in his bowl


After 1 bite he walked across the table, sat beside me and stole my entire bowl! He liked it so much he licked the side when he started to spill. So much for my vanilla, no stains on the clothes idea. And so much for me getting a special treat; I guess seeing his joy was my treat.

Monday hangover

I have a weekend hangover. Not from drinking, just going non stop running around. We did so many fun things but the only time I took pictures was our trip to run Shelley Lake. We took a load of bread so when we were done, Hudson could feed the geese and play on the playground.

Hudson has no fear of any animals. He was chasing the geese around telling them to run and throwing bread while telling them to fetch. It was so funny. My happy, happy boy.







He also enjoyed the playground and wanted his daddy to go on every slide with him. Luckily I got to do one too.

Wordless Wednesday- Hudson goes to Papa's office

A white v-neck from JCrew

What's currently bothering you?
The dog hair that is all over our house and the fact that Hudson now spits just to get a reaction out of us.

My husband asking me where his own shoes are. Ugh, men!

When was the last time you had your hair cut?
Too long ago


When were you last outside?
10 minutes ago when I watered the plants


Are you wearing shorts?
Yes, brown running shorts. And no, I did not run

Does the thought of marriage scare you?
Obviously not. It did before I met Jonathan. When you know, you just know. He changed my entire world!

Were you happy when you woke up today?
I am not a morning person so I would have to say no. But seeing Hudson's sweet face always changes that.

Have you ever crawled through a window?
No

Would you ever donate blood?
No. I did not break 110lbs until I was 24 so I still use the excuse that I am not the right weight limit. Plus the sight of blood almost makes me faint.

No

Do you have reason to smile right now?
Yes. Hudson is sound asleep, I am eating skittles, Jonathan found his shoes on his own and we are about to catch up on our DVR and have some alone time.

What do you do when you're stressed out?
Complain. It is terrible to admit but I do. I also over eat candy, especially skittles. A big stiff drink helps too.

Absolutely. No question about it. Hmmm... well just for a handful of people.

Singulair

He mozied on downstairs to find a beer


What was the first thing you did this morning?
This survey is obsessed with morning. I laid in bed and waited for Jonathan to bring me coffee and bring Hudson breakfast.

Of course. I think we all care what people think of us. And if we say we don't, we are lying.

Hudson. Duh.

A good nights sleep

Catching up on pictures

My dad pointed out to me that I did not post many pictures of Hudson last week. So here is Hudson's week in review

Park time (See David and Jenn, he wears his Nike shorts and loves them!)


Making out with Bailey (gross) and giving her a bath



Museum


Pool time- I never thought I would be the mom who put her child in this horrendous float but safety first




Lounging


Playing in the box his gift from his friend Kaplan sent him.... how cute is his gift- a painting of his birthday invitation

Fall clothes for Hudson

I get so excited when my favorite companies release their clothes for each season. I sit and drool at catalogues forever. Sadly, it is not clothes for me but for my favorite little guy. I made a promise to Jonathan that I would not go crazy buying clothes like I did this past season. I really went nuts. So Hudson will be taking donations this year for clothes.... I am only slightly kidding. Here are my favorite outfits so far







Golden retriever pants?!?!?! He would be so proud to wear Sissy on his legs!







So sadly, I will be plotting a way to sneak all of these outfits into our house with one very observant husband keeping a close tab on me and our bank account.

Woob's bridal shower

2 hours after Hudson's birthday party I had the honor of going to Woob's bridal shower. It was so fun to celebrate 2 of my very favorite people on the same day. Woobs is so special to me. Our friendship spans over 13 years!

Our lives are so different but we always have so much to talk about. I do not know what I would do without her.

I had such a great time seeing old Saint Mary's friends and watching Woobs open all of her fun, new gifts.

The countdown is on, 1 month until the big day! I cannot wait!




Hudson and Woobs at his party - one of my favorite pictures from the day!
