An "Ice" Day this time...

Yesterday schools were called off because of the ice. I was not complaining that's for sure! But you know since schools were closed because of the conditions outside it's probably a good idea to stay home, but NOT for us....Nope... we were out and about from the time Grey woke up! lol!

We started our morning with some Starbucks....caffeine for mommy and daddy and some apple juice for Grey...and an apple fritter that he pretty much demolished...I didn't find any of that on his shirt or left in the high chair...

Of course Grey had to be looking around at everyone at Starbucks.

Then after Starbucks we headed to Walmart and picked up a few things and then home for nap #1!

Then, after Greyson woke up daddy needed some fishing line so we headed to Springvalley for that and looked at a few boats...on the way back we stopped to say Hi to grammy Ann at Janko Realty! They always like surprise visits from Grey;)

Then we came home and I tried to do a Valentine's Day photo shoot with a few props! Here's how it went...

I could get used to these three day weeks!

Happy Friday to all and to all a very Happy happy hour!

What to do on a Wednesday night?

Well for starters make sure you know what to cook for supper especially if the first two nights of the week were covered for you by a couple of grandmas. (I'm thinkin' that "some" people could make some comments about that statement I just typed, but we won't say who or why lol!) I always feel better if I know what I'm going to cook in the morning don't you?!?!(And I could probably take slack with the comments for that one too!)

Then when you get home from work go ahead and give your baby a snack and start to get that yummy supper ready! For us it just happened to be chicken and stuffing and for wee bitty one year old add in some green beans and an apple but no caramel this time grey sorry! Lol!

Then while supper is in the oven go ahead and pull out wee bitty one year olds toys and not just a couple .....go ahead and be daring and pull out EVERY SINGLE TOY because you still have an hour to kill before supper!

While this is all going on remember to always
pull out your camera and take some pics of your little one!

And if you want make your hubby take the pics for a change. However he might need a lesson or two for taking some quality pics! And remember he's a male so be specific.. Tell him you want action shots not just posed pics. Then of course check the work he's done and correct him along the way

Then head back to the kitchen and set the table. When all is ready bring in your boys. Feed wee bitty one year old and don't get too distraught that more food is in his high chair or on his shirt than in his belly because you know when you look at him he is getting something into that mouth lol!

Then put little guy in the tub while daddy turns on pandora and all of you rock out but only
one gets to hold the yellow ducky! Then lotion, jammies, books, prayers, and daddy checks little guys humidifier! Then little guy is
in bed and mommy and daddy collapse in front of the tv but only to watch some auditions to American idol and then tlc hoarders ! I know we live on the edge!

I know that was hard to comprehend with all that excitement in there! You know you can only handle so much on a Wednesday! Here are some of the pics daddy took. He did a pretty good job!

This first one might show us that Greyson needs another hair cut. We all know I love his hair but it might be time to get that big boy hair cut...not sure though...I will be sure to let you know...I just don't like the hair over his ears but in Grey's defense it still looks adorable when I lotion it up!

Just hangin' out.

Now for the mommy and Grey play time shots that we made daddy take!

And, of course we tried to take a family shot...Tried is the key word in that sentence!

Well it's "Thirsty Thursday" for some people so we are gettin' close to the weekend!!!

The Cavs bring home a Victory!

Last night was the infamous game between the cavs and the bruins. We have not been to any games yet so we decided to bring Grey to this one for we were sure to catch come excitement! Greyson was really good and in the beginning he could not help but stare at everything going on around him. He loved all the music and dancing. However, this did not last the WHOLE time! lol! He started to get a little antsy(SP) but for the most part he was a real babe! He also was able to see his Auntie Mims perform for the half time show.

It was a pretty good game and I was a little worried toward the end that the Cavs were not going to pull it off, but they did-thank goodness;) Daddy put on a green T-shirt on purpose...but the cavs still came through. The ending score was something like 50 - 51 so you can imagine what the stands were doing! I didn't get that many good pics but here are just a few.

Sunday Night Dinner!

However, last night was at the Riva's house! Nate's parents were out of town so my mom invited us over. And, last night Greyson entertained himself with a Hinckley & Schmitt water jug!

he rolled it...

he picked it up

he walked with it

then a little play time with Papa mike

then hugs for Uncle Alex

Papa Mike was Mr. Cheese in this one...lol!

play time again with papa

then Grey and Papa Mike turned the water jug into some drums

they were pretty good

but then Grey made a pit stop with dad to have some of his root beer float that grammy ann made for us

Thanks for makin' us dinner mom!!! Now, what should I make tonight?

The cell phone again and Jayne too!

Yes this is a random Sunday post but that's okay!

We know Greyson loves a cell phone. However, now it's not good enough just to hold one....he has to have it clipped to his jeans like his papa Mike! lol! Grammy Ann did this to him the other day and he thought he was "big" stuff let me tell you... Also, the pics are not that clear because I took them with my iphone-sorry!



And I just had to post the most recent pic of our little Jayne girl! She's so cute! (2months old) It's weird that Greyson was that small at one time...NOT anymore...lol!

*Hope everybody is having a relaxing weekend!* Grey's daddy is bartending today so we are off to the grocery store and to do a little shopping but not for Grey because I just spent enough money on him at gymboree and crazy 8! I had some gym bucks and some "crazy" cash that was just eating me away if I didn't use it;)

At least I tried....

I'm not gonna lie...I like these posts where I list what is currently on my mind or what is currently going on here...so with that said here is the low down and today makes for an I tried statement or I am going to try type statement...

1. I tried to do all the laundry today but I don't think u can ever do that

2. I am trying to recover from the flu but let me tell u it has not been that easy

3. I tried to take grey for a walk today so we could both get some fresh air but half way he started to scream

4. I tried not to be paranoid but I started to think oh no he's getting sick

5. I tried to carry him and push the stroller at the same time but I was way too weak for that

6. I tried to strap a screaming baby into his stroller and head for home

7. I tried to run home because I wanted grey to stop crying...needless to say not a good idea for someone just getting over the flu

8. I tried to cook grey lunch when we returned from our "not so good fresh air walk" but he didn't have much of an appetite-paranoia set in again-but he's acting fine...

9. I tried to entertain grey while Nate worked on his masters class but I was tired

10. I tried to put grey in his car seat and he screamed again but it was off to Grammys house so I could lay down there and Nate could work

11. I tried to shower today and even washed my hair today and luckily that was a success!

12. I am trying to type this on my phone

13. I am also trying to NOT go cross eyed in the process

14. I am going to try and get dinner with the girls tonight to see dbabe off

I think that's all the trying I can do for now!!!

Sick :(

Dear flu bug,
you are currently residing at the ernat home! U are not welcome here and need to pack your bags and leave asap!!! Don't u know moms can't get sick? They have to be ON all the time. Otherwise it leaves daddys to do all the work and those mommies yelling from another room reminding them what to do!!! And another thing it's one thing for me to beat this flu but don't u even think of putting your paws on my sweet precious baby grey!!! Or u will have to answer to me! Now I am finally on the road to recovery after laying by the toilet for a whole day!! So let's just end this whole thing and u get on your way because I have some major disinfecting to do!!! And I would like to get back to my head mom duties!

PS. You are NOT welcome back!

Head honcho here Aka MOM
