I had a good midwife appointment this morning - everything is great with me and the baby! Half way home (it's about an hour drive altogether) we stopped at Target to pick up a few things for Jacob's orchestra party this afternoon. It was close to lunch time, so the kids snacked on cheese sticks and organic fruit snacks throughout the store. In the checkout I saw the container of Ritz cheese crackers and I did something I'd never done before - I bought them and let my kids eat them. We usually eat pretty healthy, but today, they needed something easy and fast. During the last 30 minutes of our drive home, they downed the entire container! Levi tends to stuff his mouth when he eats, which makes me nervous when we're driving, but Lily was so sweet and gave him one cracker at a time.
Can I just say, I love our van! The two captain chairs in the middle scoot together (like you can see in the picture) so Lily and Levi can be right next to each other. When the new baby comes, Lily will move to the back, but for now, they love sharing toys and holding hands during our drives.
Tonight my parents came over and took care of the kids so Jacob and I could go out! We went to Ruby Tuesday (thanks to a gift card from Christmas) and then headed to Target for newborn diapers, a couple little things to give Lily and Levi when we bring home our new baby, and dog food. So romantic, I know! LOL My friend Jessica mentioned how much she loves this chocolate, tonight we splurged and tried it. Be still my heart! It is the best chocolate ever!! You need to try it!
We also got the boys their first matching outfits! Ahh, so cute!
Hope y'all have a great weekend!
I saw that cute romper at Target and thought of it when you were talking about matching ones!! How funny! They have a cute little girl outfit in the same colors you should get Lily!! I just got Debby and Ramsey matching Easter and Mothers Day outfits at a second hand store lady week. :)
ReplyDeleteThat chocolate looks so yummy. I will have to try it. I bought a box of clearance Valentines chocolates to eat after the baby comes and my heartburn is finally gone but I might have to get some of that chocolate to take to the hospital for a celebration!
Those matching outfits are adorable!!!! And I love date nights like yours...diapers, baby clothes...how does it get much better, ha?!?! And YES!!! That chocolate?! It's SOOOO good! Now I want some!!!
ReplyDeleteFor our most recent date we went to dinner and then to Kroger for a regular, full-blown grocery shop :) The nice thing is that at night like that the store isn't as busy and it was a nice time of leisurely strolling along (ok, with a grocery cart ;) ) and talking.
ReplyDeleteThe outfits are cute!! And that chocolate... it looks pretty good!!
That is so sweet that Lily was giving Levi his crackers one at a time. I'm going to have to try that chocolate..:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day! Sometimes we need to just splurge on our kids and ourselves! How cute they love sitting next to each other! Molly and Lucy do, too! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteSoooo sweet! And now I'm wanting some chocolate..... thaaaaaaaaanks. hehe!
ReplyDeleteLindt chocolate is the best! I'd love to try the sea salt kind, once I can have chocolate again!
ReplyDeleteThe rompers are cute. I think the boys will look so good together in them.
Oh yes; I know this strange arm-reaching sensation that comes with pregnancy! This is my first little one, so it all seemed so strange to me. How could my healthy-woman mind SINCERELY want an overflowing custard donut that I didn't make in my own kitchen? The science is still beyond me... :)
ReplyDeleteAs for the rompers, I have the same ones! We'll have to post our little ones in the croc. community :)
