He's a Ladies Man

What can I say...he's quite the ladies man! Especially with his #1 mama! Do you believe I didn't have any bright red lipstick!?!?

Happy Friday to all and to all a very Happy Hour!

Yesterday afternoon we took Grey for his 15 month check up. It was about a week early, but our pediatrician Dr. Running is pregnant and wanted to get him in before her maternity leave. She says she will be back for his 18 mo. which isn't until May. He did really good and she says he is doing exactly what he's supposed to be doing whatever that is...lol! Grey weighs 24 lbs which is right at the 50th percentile and he was 32 1/2 in. long which is the 90th percentile for height. Dr. Running says he's a "tall dude"...

I have to laugh though because at the last couple of check ups Grey has had some gas...Dr. Running will be talking to me and asking me these questions and Greyson will blow a really loud fart and I mean loud. And Nate starts laughing like anybody does at a fart and I am holding it in and trying to be serious answering questions. So picture this, Greyson is naked (only diaper on) roaming around the room like he owns the place and farting up a storm and pressing the buttons on Dr. Runnings lap top. I tried not to laugh but I couldn't hold it in any longer and this time it SMELLED....I kept checking his diaper and there was NOTHING! So, as soon as we got out of her office I call my mom to see what he had for lunch....are you ready for this....chili and chicken...if that doesn't give you gas I don't know what will! lol!

Ok so back to the appt....Greyson also had to get two shots. One was for the chicken pox and the other was MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella). He did cry pretty hard and she said that these shots would hurt that he had. So before we even left her office I gave my little guy some motrin.

Here are some pics I took of Grey when we got home from the doctor. I don't think he was without his binkie the rest of the night.

I was playing with him and taking his binkie from him...he thought it was funny at first...

But that smile turned immediately to this...so I gave the binkie back...

Grey and I baked!

Grey and I baked some cupcakes while daddy watched some football. Grey LOVES to help out in the kitchen and what a big help he was...(wink, wink) These weren't just any old cupcakes either they were confetti cupcakes and they sure were yummy!

Grey thought we should add in some bananas but I just politely told him that the recipe didn't call for them this time...I didn't want to make my kitchen helper mad or anything.

Nice face mom!

Then Grey went down for his afternoon nap and when he woke up these were the finished product.

I think I'll just try one...

Which one should I pick?

Here goes....

yummmmm....that frosting sure is good...

I'll try another bite....he hasn't figured out to pull off the paper obviously

Maybe I'll just grab two...what the heck...

Yeah that sounds good

That feeling...

Yesterday it was a rainy day and I just so happened to get "that" feeling. You know that feeling...

I need to be productive
I need to get something done
my house is busting at the seams with all sorts of things
i need to clean out something
we need to start a home project
i have stuff laying ALL over the place
we need to clean out the back room in the basement
nate is bored so I need to make him do something such as clean out the garage, or the shed, or back to that basement
okay let's start the trim in the breezeway...Nate...go to home depot it's only 10am and you can still watch football later but your wife is having anxiety about things that need to get done so just go do it...
i still need to go to the grocery store for the week
try to do all of this while grey is still sleeping....hah...yeahhhhhhhhhhh right
if only we get one of these things done i'll feel better...yeah that's the key right?
what am I going to cook tonight? maybe shrimp...yeah that sounds good?
great Nate gets back from Home Depot and they don't have what I want...yep that sounds right?
okay then move onto pictures...yep I have been meaning to blow up some pics of Grey so just get that done at least...?
Nate is still bored because what I was going to have him start didn't work...okay Nate then you need to clean out the breezeway (room before you enter our garage) and you need to put all of your fishing stuff AWAY because I can't look at it anymore!
And that fish tank that we got for Christmas is looking really cloudy so Nate....you have to clean that out too....you know the rules I don't want a fish tank if it doesn't look clean...
and now I think I hear Greyson....he's up from his nap...so do you know what that means....NOT much will get done......yikes.....ahhhhhhhhhhh.... what are ya gonna do when you get "that" feeling???
I know one thing for sure...always keep your hubby busy especially if he has a natural inclination to get real antsy real fast...

Well I wrote the top half yesterday morning and now on this actual Monday morning I'll just let you know what we were able to get done...

We did go to the grocery store as a family of 3. However, it was okay because the lady at the deli counter gave Grey a garlic bread stick so that lasted him the whole time. We were laughing the whole day because Grey smelled like garlic-it was cute! (shout out to D babe on that note.lol!)

I did cook some fresh shrimp up...we have been using this recipe since we went to Florida with my Uncle Mark who lives out east and knows these types of recipes. You get this seasoning Old Bay (shout out to Ange on this one as well-those southerners know good food.lol) and it's a 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of vinegar and then the actual seasoning(bring all of this to a boil and add in your shrimp and then boil for 3-5 min depending on amount of shrimp you have. We LOVE it (Nate and I) and it's super easy. Grey was spitting out the shrimp but he gobbled up the fresh green beans I steamed. (Ps. the shrimp does have a bite to it...so don't try it if you don't like that sort of thing...)

Nate and Grey went and bought some new fish for the tank and Nate did clean it out so it is very clear again...;)

I did order the pics I wanted of Grey also... 4 8x10s in black and white of that cute little face are already home and in the 4 black frames I bought.

And Nate did organize his fishing stuff in the breezeway so I felt a little better.

Then it was 4:30 and Nate headed to sidetracks. Grey just woke up from his nap and since neither of us had showered yet we hopped in the shower. Grey loves to hop in the shower with one of us but we try to make it fast because it can get a little tricky at times!

So there you have it folks...I did not get everything done on my list but some of the stuff!

Happy Monday everybody!

My Sleeping Beauties...

This was the other morning! I have an eye mask thing for bed because sometimes Nate is watching TV and I need it completely black to fall asleep! Anyway, I cannot find my good one at the moment so I picked this one up in the Target dollar bin. The strap already fell apart so I won't be using it anymore. I hope I find my good one!
