What a week! High five for Friday!

TGIF!!! This has been the most horrible & amazing week for me. A mish-mosh of fantabulocity & horrificness (like my word choices? - HA!). Here are my highlights from this odd week...

1. My sweet hubby sent me flowers at work, just because. Before you vomit in your mouth a little over this sickeningly sweet gesture, the truth is that the hubby & I have had a rough few weeks together. Every marriage, even ones that seem perfect, take a lot of hard work. We've worked through the bumps and we're in a better place now. And now that he's sent me flowers, we're in an even better place. :-)



2. I got a new toy! I thought I could survive having two kids without a double stroller and I made it 10 whole months. The fact of the matter is that I don't need a double stroller, I just decided that if I had one I may be more likely to get out and go on more walks with the kiddos or maybe even *gasp* start running. I'm hoping this beautiful Phil & Teds will get me moving. :-)



3. A change in the weather. I feel fall-a-coming. Our 90+ degree days are dropping into the low 80s and it's actually getting chilly at night. Normally this would sadden me, but I'm battling a nasty, miserable cold this week and the cooler weather is allowing me to comfortably partake of hot soups and teas and snuggle up in sweats. Bring on the pumpkin spice lattes, boots, and scarves! (okay, maybe that's going a little too far!)



4. Bye Bye Helmet. Landon woke up on Wednesday with a bright red line across his forehead from his Hanger helmet. It was finally getting too tight. So, I called his orthotist and we decided to discontinue use. This means that Landon is done with his helmet therapy!!! A post will be dedicated to this very soon. I am thrilled with the outcome.



5. A new kind of relationship. The fact that I'm a mommy of two smacked me in the face this week. I was taking a breather on my fabulous chaise lounge in our living room while my 10 month old and 3 year old laughed and played on the floor. Their laughter, fun, and enjoyment had nothing to do with me. I could see their innate sibling love for each other and I let my mind drift off to the future... Leila crying when Landon destroys her baby doll, Landon's friends flirting with Leila, Leila driving Landon to school when she turns 16. I can't wait to watch their relationship grow. This is what makes having more than one child SO worth it.



Happy weekending friends! I hope you find some happiness and fun in whatever you have on the agenda. :-)
