Staycation in Style

By Jessica

One week left of Daddy on vacation and we are soaking up the lazy mornings, extra set of hands at mealtime and the million chances I have had to drive the car rather than my day care on wheels.

So as his vacation comes to a close we are skimping on the naps and packing in as many activities as we can.

Can you guess where Sawyer has been?

I am SO borrowing these when he is done.

And just in case you have been waiting on pins and needles… the winner of the Bellflower Book giveaway is Jessica of Mommyhood Next Right. Congratulations Jessica!

Happy Sunday!

Doing anything fun today? What is the one thing you do that makes you wish noise-canceling headphones were in style?

    Love it when Daddy is home to help out! I’m gonna have to see where you can get some of those headphones! They sure would come in handy during trips to those sensory overload places that are nightmares for kids on the spectrum. And if they don’t work for him, they’ll work for me!

    He’s adorable!!

    Noise canceling headphones would have come in VERY handy today. Lucas and I had a very trying day. Daddy spent the day at the beach with friends and that would have been fine if Lucas had napped in the middle of the day like he usually does, but instead he got into all kinds of trouble, made mess after mess, after mess and was in more time outs than the whole week combined. In other words, he was just being 2. So glad tomorrow is a new day!

    How sweet! He’s got such perfect eyes! We’re working towards a staycation too. Still in the planning phases of it right now and trying to pin down some dates. I need to stop traveling so much so I can have a Staycation! LOL

    My husband just started his 3-week vacation! Love that were are about to start some of our own family fun time! Off to Rolling Hills Water Park today in Ypsilinti, MI? Ever been there? It’s a great water park for younger kids!

    Hope you enjoy your last couple of days with your husband off!

    he’s so darn cute! ๐Ÿ™‚ we’re going to take advantage of Hubs wanting us out of the house (he’s birthday shopping! WOOT!) by spending the day with my parents, sister, BIL & niece and go out to my gramma’s to use the pool! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I would use those noise-cancelling headphones when Goose is in timeout or throwing temper tantrums ๐Ÿ˜‰ or I’d put them on Goose when the neighbor kids are blasting their music and playing street ball outside her window in the late/early hours – punks.

    So cute! Despite going to bed late and getting up super early, Dylan is crazy and on full volume today. Noise cancelling headphones would be helpful right about now ๐Ÿ™‚

    I am trying to get my husband to stop wavering about some home organization projects. I’m not having much luck so far ๐Ÿ˜‰
