Blogger is going to be the death of me. Oy!

Anyhow. Mark went swimming on his own this week. Getting so big!

Mark and Tom went on some adventures. 

Ender loves Vivi’s book. 

We slept in until 8:30 both days this weekend, can you believe it? The rainy weather really helped!!

Love,

Hello! 

Took a trip to Costco. Frances added me but they wouldn’t let me get the card. Alas! We tried! Some good deals there. 

Mark loved the Congdons. He is pointing out which donut is Dad, who is Mom, Viv and Mark. He is rainbow sprinkles lol. 

The fireman came to his preschool. So cute. 

Random snaps. Look at those cheeks!!

Tom had a work event at a bar. So took Mark and Vivi on some adventures. Mark got his flu shot. He was such a champ. He said, “It doesn’t hurt.”  The tech was more nervous than him. He loosened the needle cap before he started, and when it was time for the shot he picked up the needle and flung the cap across the room before jabbing it into Mark’s arm. Ha! We went to Shake Shack after. Mark loves eating “at a restaurant.”

He likes to sit by the window. This poor haircut. It was done by a professional, I swear!

Vivi loves FaceTime! 

Love,

Betty

Great Grandma and great aunt Carolyn came to visit! So much fun. 

They brought Congdon’s. Mark loved his rainbow sprinkle donut. He dropped some sprinkles on the floor and he went hunting for them. Oy!

Post bath....

October 8, 2018. Part two.

Woo! My first solo day with two kids. We had a lot of fun. Did some coloring in the morning. 

Pulled out one of Marks old outfits for Vivi. 

Pulled up old photos of Mark in the same outfit. He said, “Vivi really looks like me.”  Evidence:

Got geared up to go out. 

Playground time!

Stopped at Trader Joe’s to get a pumpkin and some groceries. Mark made a jack o lantern. Thanks Aunt Courteney and Uncle Dave for the cool stickers. 

Held my breath during nap time. Looked like a failure. 

But then success! Unexpected! Woohoo! Took my own nap- total unicorn moment. Four living beings napping at the same time. 

Felt refreshed so took an early weeks photo. 

Survived the day! Won’t tell you how many bums I wiped and how many blowouts there were....

Love.
