What a Week.

The past week or so has kicked my booty.

So much going on. Deep Breath.

Last week Kate was VIP in her Kindergarten class, which translates to *me* having homework each night. Ha!

We had to make a scrapbook, bring in show & tell, take home the class bear and journal about it & Kevin got to go in one day and read a book to her class. All of it was fun, but it just took a lot of time. Kate was so excited about it all week & having something special to do each day, which caused her to be too excited to sleep at night.

All that, combined with her birthday party on Saturday was just a lot of excitement.

 Here are some instagrams of the couple weeks of crazytown around here! 

It was COLD last week. Frost on the grass 5 days in a row. We are wimpy Californians, we don't like frost.

 The girls think Luke is a doll that they can dress up. This is what happens when you go to the bathroom. You come back & your baby is now a clown. I would be scared also.

 Highlight of the week, was getting carded at the grocery store buying wine. 

The cashier said there is no way I am 33 with 3 kids. MADE MY WEEK.

The kids have done some modeling for Pottery Barn Kids, here is Claire on their website:

Check out it out here on their website!

 I needed glass bottles for Kate's party, so I used glass "frappachino" bottles. 

I was thankful to have a coffee pick me up every afternoon for the past 2 weeks.

My collection of bottles:

Tip: These are Archer Farms (Target brand) coffee frappachino drink bottles. The label comes right off.  Cheaper & easier than the Starbucks brand. 

More party prep...the bags I bought for the cookie favors were too small (the cookies were bigger than what I thought I ordered) Anyone need 20 chevorn bags? Ha!

3 am and I was ready for the party. I would have been done earlier, but Luke decided to be awake from midnight until 2 am.

After Kate's party on Saturday morning, we went to a 1st birthday party for one of Kevin's best friends little boys. It was a Mustache Bash, and they had sticker mustache's for everyone, so of course we put a stache on Luke:

Cutest thing ever....until we took it off because we noticed Luke was getting a reaction to the adhesive.
He had a stache rash the rest of the afternoon. FAIL.

Then it was off to party #3 of the day. Bowling for my Father in Law's birthday!

It was the girls first time bowling. So fun.

After that, the adults headed to dinner to celebrate!

Happy 70th Birthday! I am lucky to have such a great Father in Law!

Sunday all 3 kids were down for the count. Coughing, snotty noses, fevers x 3. Not fun.

Monday was a day off school in honor of MLK, Jr.  but I spent my afternoon at the doctors office.

We were quite the scene....girls in their pj's, coughing, sneezing & a crying and upset Luke.

Good times.

There was nothing we could give Luke because he is only 5 months old, but our dr said not to give him tyelnol unless his fever hit 102. He did a flu swab/test for all 3 kids and thankfully that came back negative.

What the kids bathroom looked like all week:

(FYI: that is a thermometer, not a pregnancy test)

3 sick kids means Mommy needs wine. At 5 pm....on the dot.

Luke who was finally sleeping 8 hours at night has reverted back to waking up every few hours because he doesn't feel well. We had him sleep in his bouncer or swing for several hours to help with his coughing. It made me feel better if he was at an incline. Easier for him to breathe. Poor thing.

Luckily Kate was well enough to go to school on her birthday. My mother in law & Claire brought her balloons.

For Kate's bday dinner, she wanted to go to some place that would sing her Happy Birthday :)

We brought birthday cupcakes to Daisy's.

Phew. What a week.

I was so tired this morning I forgot to bring part of my breast pump to school. Ouchie.

The kids are finally on the mend and I am keeping my fingers crossed that the sore throat I have had for 2 days goes away!

 And, as a reminder, NEXT FRIDAY is the FIRST Pin-Spired Linky Party!!!
Can't wait to see what outfits you have pinned & worn!!!

So ready for the weekend & So happy it's Friday. 

Friday Night means Pizza Night! (and wine!)

Hope you have a great weekend!
