ole schnikees: 2018 :: 29/52

this week had cooler temperatures especially in the mornings so we enjoyed time outside! Al had Wednesday and Thursday off. Monday afternoon I had my last midwife appointment. Tuesday morning we went over to jenny's house so she could cut my hair (with so much falling out due to hormones, I decided to get rid of the length to help my hair be thicker, healthier, and not as long of hair all over our house. so we cut off 5 inches) she also cut off Tova's rat tail :)

Wednesday tova tried eating cereal for the first time and she was not having it! wouldn't even open her mouth for the spoon and spit out anything I got in there. we'll try again in a week or so. then Wednesday night we went out to eat for the first time since tova was born; we went to hangar 54 for wing night. we went early and tova did pretty well and the wings were delicious!

Thursday we all went garage saling; there weren't many and most of the ones we did find, we didn't buy anything. but the one that Al and trevor went to they came out with a gun and 2 super hero books for trevor. :) Trevor spent his money from unc-o that was in his wallet on them! Thursday night I went out for a girls night at cancun with Jodi, her mom, and Kassie (we did this same thing 2 years ago.) it was fun and a great change of pace; I got home at 10 just in time for tova waking up so I could feed her.

Friday tova didn't sleep longer than 30 minutes at a time without waking up crying and then she was pretty cranky most of the day. she did end up sleeping ok at night but we didn't do much during the day.

Saturday morning, the kids and I drove up to mom's house even though she was gone at a cabin until sunday afternoon. in the morning we went over and saw grandpa neil and papa before lunch and nap. then after nap, we went over to manda and johnny's house to see them and pick up the tag-a-long bike thing to try with trevor. it was so good to see them and get to chat with manda. the girls loved tova and we didn't get to stay too long, but we had fun. after supper, unc-o got done with work so he came and played for a little bit before an early bedtime.

sunday we played at nana's house and outside in the backyard until nana got home just before lunch. we had pizza and then unc-o and trevor made us raspberry malts with raspberries from grandpa neil/papa's bushes just like we had when we were little. they were delicious! I had softball at 4&5 (we lost both but played the loud mouth, complainy, takes too many walks team so it wasn't too much fun) then back to mom's to feed tova, eat supper, pack up and drive home.

Monday morning Al didn't get home from work until almosot 8am (supposed to be 5a) so he tried to just stay awake until nap time but he got really tired and kinda crabby. so after we played monopoly and got ready for trevor's swimming lessons, we sent him to bed. trevor had his first swimming lessons where i'm not in the pool with him and he was very unsure about it leading up to it, and didn't want to go. and truthfully, I was a little nervous about it too (still am = mom worry) but he did great and loved it! it's only a half hour so it seemed super short and the water was cold but it's a little easier to deal with when you can just go outside to the warmth. then home to feed tova and trevor, shower trevor, and put them both down for naps.
