My boys were so good to me on Mother's Day - I got flowers, a basket full of goodies and some power tools!!  Hahaa..some of you may think power tools aren't a great gift - but let me tell you - I wanted them sooo bad and was so happy to have them! 

We've been working on baby girl's room putting up wainscoting...what a nightmare - but it'll look great when it's done. 

Jack's been going to my friend Allison's house for the month and is having fun there.  They live on a farm and have 3 other kids.  There's been a few days when he's been able to go back to Francine's as well, so this month is working out well as far as sitters' go.  I was full of stress when I didn't know who was going to watch my little boy. 

We've been going to the dr every 2 weeks now and baby girl's HB is always perfect and found right away.  They even let Jack help with the doppler and he gets a kick out of it.  My blood pressure has been around 114/66 which is great.  Not too many problems with swelling yet, though I know when I start to swell to take it easy and put my feet up and relax.  Sometimes I find it hard with Jack though because I want to play with him as well - but he's actually been really good about it and knows that Mommy has to rest. 

Jack has a little program at Mother's Day Out and it was so precious.  They sang all the songs they learned since the beginning of the school year and had little hand motions to go along with it.  It was so cute.  Jack saw me and kept waving and then told his little friend Noah that I was his mom.  It was adorable - Mark wasn't able to make it because it was on a Thursday night so I videoed some of it.  Then there was an ice cream social after that which was nice.

His last day at MDO was the 26th - was kinda sad and bittersweet - already old enough to have a last day at school.  My baby's getting too big too fast!

Went up to Mom and Dad's for Memorial Day and had a good time just hanging out and relaxing.  The boys were able to play outside and have fun. We had a cookout and the following day had brunch at Gma and Gpa's apartment complex. Jack was the life of the party, as usual.  Pretty soon it's his 3rd Birthday - it's a Yo Gabba Gabba theme this year.  I can't even believe he's gonna be 3!!!  I still remember the day he was born like it was yesterday!
