We did have a slow start though...you see Captain "I can dress myself" was bound and determined to wear a short sleeve...over my dead body...you will wear a cute fall outfit and like it...sweating and all..."Well, Noah better be wearing long sleeves then!"
When we got there Noah was in long sleeves...in fact Noah was sweating profusely because he had a sweater on! They too wanted fallish pictures, but pulled out the big guns with winter attire...Mr. Man announcing our arrival...loud as always!
We had so much fun enjoying the weather. I of course got tons of "you are nuts" looks toting around a sleeping 5 month old Emily on top of my large belly. After the patch I ran around some, we did things around the house and then it was 6:00...and little man hadn't eaten dinner...in fact, we forgot dinner! So we threw on some steaks and sat outside on the porch in the dark eating. It was SO nice! No wind, no flys, cozy, and Hagen thought it was super cool to sit on the couch outside between Mama and Daddy and eat...
Below, Hagen is TOTALLY cheating and standing on the root...
On Sunday Hagen woke up at 7:15. Most of the time Ryan is awake so I get to sleep in but he wasn't this morning. So I got up with him. I was EXHAUSTED! I felt so beat up and just couldn't do anything! Ryan woke up around 9:00 and I asked if he minded if I went back to bed. I did and woke up at noon! AND Ryan was on the 2nd load of laundry! He told me to go get my pedicure while I was out grabbing a few things for the evening...fabulous! I felt so refreshed! It means so much more to just have things taken care of instead of asking doesn't it?!The picture below is our hot dog picnic...I swear I put make-up on...I look so tired and worn out...definitely not a Christmas card photo...
On Sunday night it was Ryan's Mom's birthday so Nana, Papa Tom, Aunt Sandy, and Uncle Tom came over. I pulled out all the stops and threw a Stouffer's Lasagna in the oven...don't be jealous. We had salad, bread, and lasagna. I loved it! I hope everyone else did too. 
Hagen pitched a fit this morning because he had to wear long sleeves and Daddy didn't. Last week Ryan told me when he was putting him to bed that Hagen said, "Daddy, will you tell Mama I want to wear shorts tomorrow because all my friends are and I want to too?"

Ryan and I crashed on the couch playing on our phones for a good 30-45 minutes just laying there and then picked up and went to bed.

Poor baby...I'm already embarrassing him and he's 3 1/2...just wait Hagen...It WILL get worse!!!
I pre-ordered "How to Train your Dragon" for Hagen as a gift from the baby. He has been wanting to get it. I took him to see it in the theatre...
Oh and on the way to the pumpkin patch we drove by 2 horses doing some dirty things. I'm sorry but seeing animals procreate just makes me gag! Those images stick in my sick mind way longer than they should! They were pretty much finished when we got next to them but in case Hagen saw we said, "Awww...they are dancing!!"...crisis averted...then Ryan had to say "Man, he's having a hard time putting it away!!" Nice Ryan...thanks for the followup...perv.
3 weeks 4 days...please please please hurry...
Tata,

Love the pumpkin patch! We're taking our crew this coming weekend.
ReplyDeleteI am so with you on the horse thing. One time Ryan and I saw one, and I had to do an effing double take. I had not clue the "hung like a horse" cliche was that accurate. Gag.
BTW...you look great!
You look cuter every time you post a new picture! You are wearing that belly well!
ReplyDeleteI would have made my kids wear cute fall clothes too. Love Hagen in his button down.
3 weeks, 4 days...The suspense of seeing sweet Hazel's face is killing me!
You look so adorable. Sorry to be cliche, but you have the "glow". I actually did not make my pumpkins wear the fall attire this year because it was too darn hot. Sad now, though, because the pictures just don't look the same in shorts and t-shirts. Can't wait to see the buda belly in person!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking you looked so beautiful in the family picture (of yall sitting)
ReplyDeleteLove that pumpkin patch! That's on our schedule soon too. Hoping for cooler weather though.
ReplyDeleteYou really do look beautiful! :)
We go to that same pumpkin patch every year, too! So much fun.
ReplyDeleteHagen looks adorable in his button down shirt. And, you look great, too!
YOu look awesome!!! So close til you see that little girl! :)
ReplyDeletePoor little guys.... had to wear long sleeve shirts so they could have their pics taken. :)
We're going this weekend to our local pumpkin patch. I can't wait!!! It's always so much fun.
Awesome pics. You look great. Can't wait to hear about her arrival. I have another friend due right around the same time. And she's having a girl too!
ReplyDeleteI agree.....that picture of you is darling. I can tell you're tired, but you look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnd, you're moving right along not letting anything stop you! Glad you got a day of rest/errands/pedi. You deserve it!
Ryan is so awesome, too. Seriously. Jackpot.
