Every time I run errands with both kids, I wonder what I was smoking to make me want to do such a crazy thing!! We went to Target this morning, and Anya was in the buggy and I had Steven in my side carrier. They were both very well behaved, but by the time I got to the checkout, my left leg was numb (the hip Steven was on). I then decided that while we were at Whole Foods, I would let Anya walk and Steven ride in the buggy. I like it when I can feel my leg. By the time we got back to the car, I think the numb leg would have been a better choice. She wants to run up and down the aisles, pick up oranges (the ones on the bottom, making the top ones fall on the ground), touch the floor, touch the raw meat packages, pester me to buy her "lipstick" (chap stick or something similar). AUGH!!! If she would have fit in the buggy, she would have been there, but I sure wasn't putting her on top of the meat! Even getting her to push the buggy lasted only for a few minutes because Steven kept reaching over and pulling her hair!!

They started painting the porch this afternoon. It is very exciting!!! All starting to come together. We are going very boring: "battleship gray" floor, sky blue ceiling, white banisters with dark green at the top of the banisters, and the front door and shutters will also be painted green. If you ride around and look at a white Acadian house with green trim, that's the look we are going for. And I didn't know about the ceiling, but apparently dirt daubers won't build nests if the ceiling is sky blue. Ride around and look at how many front porch ceilings are that color. We were shocked!

Chris came home early beings he was at work all weekend. After the kids woke up he decided he wanted to take him to City Park, so off we went. I got some great pictures, and the kids had a blast. Anya likes to play on the "big kid" side (which makes me nervous because it is so high), and Steven was content swinging.

Oh, and today was weigh in day for Weight Watchers. I am 5 pounds lighter than 2 weeks ago!! Just 15 more to go!!
We took tons of pics today between the park and the porch, but I got one of the kids in their car seats, so wanted to do that one. In a few short months, Steven will be facing forward and if I don't get a picture now, I may never do it!
