Yesterday was a busy day. I made breakfast, mowed the lawn, weeded a flower bed, scrubbed the kitchen floor (including under my fridge), vacuumed, washed and folded two loads of laundry, played with the kiddos all afternoon, made dinner, and started my meal plan for the rest of this month. Playing with the kids was so much fun! Hyrum likes to be chased and he likes to be the 'finder' in hide and seek (mostly he just likes when you jump out and scare him). He loves when I get down to floor level and play around with him. His laughs yesterday were to die for as he ran screeching around our living room. He spent most of the day in just his diaper as he protested getting dressed. Camilla took off her clothes before eating Gramma's canned raspberries in the afternoon and never did want to put them back on again. Mr. Stannix came home to naked, raspberry faced, crazy haired kids. But they were happy!
After Mr. Stannix finished his CASB I gave him a hair cut. Then we ended the evening by snuggling up on the couch enjoying popcorn and homemade butter beer (don't worry, it's just milk, sugar, vanilla and butter). I admit, we started our evening together super late, but this new TV series we started is just so darn addicting! Honestly, we hardly even touched the popcorn because we were so hooked.
We ventured out to Wal-mart this morning for some fresh fruit and other odds and ends and have spent the rest of the day relaxing at home. I got the bathroom cleaned while Hyrum napped and it feels good to have that done! My kitchen is sparkly clean and dinner is simmering in the slow cooker. It's been nice to have this boost of energy the passed couple of days. My house finally looks normal again, minus the shoes I keep finding everywhere. Every time we leave the house it takes me ten minutes to locate my second shoe. Hyrum's newest fetish is walking around the house with one shoe on whether it's Daddy's work shoe, my flip flop, my runners, or something of Camilla's. It's cute watching him cruise around with a shoe ten sizes too big! His new favorite hiding place is between the big chair and my piano. Whenever I call him for a bum change he always runs there to hide for a while and then peeks out at me with a grin from ear to ear. I love that kid.
I am loving being in the second trimester of this pregnancy. My energy levels have returned to normal and I'm feeling baby move around which is comforting. We went to the doctor's on Wednesday and heard the little heart beat. It took her a while to find it. I might have been worried except baby did a few hard kicks when the doctor was poking the doppler around. I asked her what the heart rate was before we left and it was 144bpm. A girl perhaps? We're not finding out with this one, so it will be a fun guessing game!
