Bring It

Today we got the news that my cousin Robin and kids (and extra road trip buddy, Alex) might be here a day earlier than planned!! We're so excited!!! 

I've got all my little pinterest boards stuffed full of summer fun, foods, deserts, arts and crafts, baby stuff, etc... for the six of us. 

I was finally able to find the mac daddy of all highchairs, used, for just $30. I love it entirely. It's big and cushioned, easy to fold up and change height, has locking wheels, easy wipe fabric, huge tray with attachments, cup holder, ... it doesn't get better.

Weeks ago Robin told me that Leo was fast growing out of his 12 mo. clothes and she would be glad to let me do the honors of hitting up some rummage sales and second hand shops for little clothes. I LOVE to shop for baby clothes. Especially when my favorite second hand shop just happened to be having a HALF OFF CLOTHING sale, today!!!

This morning I went to town and went to town:

All of this for just $32.

I also fell in love with the dollar store this week. I got SO MUCH FUN STUFF! Arts and crafts supplies, reusable lunch containers, manicure fun, and these adorable dishes for my new baby! 

I can just imagine packing up these cute little bumblebees for Leo to use on our picnics at the park!!!

(I'm just a little excited)

Today, the family set off for their trip from Alabama to Oklahoma and then Wisconsin. They will be here before we know it. Then it's baby diapers and sippy cups, nail polish and hair bows, squealing and chasing, inside and outside playing and laughing, crying and whining, coloring and reading, eating and cuddling all around! 

I can only say one thing to all of that:

BRING IT

The Count Down

"Do you know how many days are left until the kids come?" 
I peek at him across the kitchen, playing alone with his play mobil toys. 

"Uh... 14?" he guesses without looking up.

"Only six more days" I promise.

His eyes widen and fists pump as he shouts out his infamous "booyah!".
I'm pretty sure his excitement matches mine. 

I heard him initiate himself into the cool club of big families as he informed his buddy Logan, "Pretty soon I'm going to have three siblings for six weeks."

The days are winding down, and the anticipation is building high. 

We can hardly wait! :)

Four Weeks!

I can't believe it's getting so near. We have known for months, but now the countdown is really on! I am planning and dreaming and pinning like a crazy lady. I can't wait to have Kaila, Jada and Leo with us for six weeks! Zeek is talking about all the fun he will have when he gets to wake up to three full time play pals everyday. Even our friends are getting excited about these three joining our playdates and get-togethers. I can hardly wait! :)
