BUBBA BURGERS!!!!!!!!

Yesterday at preschool, Mac and them celebrated Valentine's Day early.  He brought us a Valentine card.....

They all had Valentine's Day hats.....

And totally not V-day related.....Mac brought home a "zoo."  And he loves it.

Today we got an AWESOME box in from my Daddy.  Probably the best gift ever.

Guess what we had for dinner as requested by Mac?  BUBBA BURGERS.  This is how a Mac eats a Bubba Burger....

My after dinner routine is to go flop on the sofa.  Nora doesn't like there to be a lot of food in there next to her......Heyward decided that it would be the perfect time to snuggle with me.  A shock collar has made a world of difference with him.

After I had stretched out for a little bit, it was time for me to switch that laundry over.  I went upstairs to Baby Nora's room to fold laundry and my boys decided to follow me.  They also decided to wrestle around on the bed while I tried to fold laundry.  TRIED.

Mac decided to get into my old baby clothes...which for some weird reason included Mickey Mouse gloves.

Ok.  It's 10 oclock Alaska time.  Way past my bedtime.  However, the second I laid down Baby Nora decided to go nuts.  Cross your fingers she calms down!

Zookeeper Mac

Mac made stuff at school today.  He made a zoo!  His face was on the popsicle stick as the zookeeper.  It is so cute.  He loves school.

Mac had a great time helping us clear out baby Nora's room.  I was pulling some of her sheets out of the closet to wash them and here is the conversation....

Mac: What's that for, Mommy?
Me: it's for Baby Nora's bed. 
Mac: Mommy, Baby Nora is going to sleep in my bed so she's not scared.


He had fun running amuck in her closet too!

He decided to be super "helpful" for daddy too.  Joe was putting boxes under the stairs and Mac "helped."  This means that Mac climbed on Joe's back and shined the flashlight into the space....

Mac also helped me with laundry.  He likes pushing the buttons and handing me stuff to separate.  He also likes putting things in the washer and dryer.  Honestly, I think he just wants to push the buttons.  

Taco Night

I was SUPER uncomfortable today.  Baby Nora was up under my ribs and using my lungs as a punching bag.  Oh my goodness not comfortable.  I came home and immediately just collapsed on the sofa.  Miserable.  I am still not super comfortable but she has shifted a little.  While I was just laying there, Mac was playing with Heyward's face.  "Heyward has floppy ears, Mommy."  "Mommy, his tail is floppy too."

My awesome husband made us tacos for taco night.  Mac was pretty excited.  He told Joe what he wanted on his taco.  Watching him eat a taco was hilarious!

Toilet poop and store pee!

The good news is that Mac finally pooped in the toilet! Amy, Erica, and Mark (Erica's husband) have been tirelessly trying to potty train Mac at daycare while we are doing the same at home. Today, Amy kept telling Mac that he wasn't allowed to poop in his diaper and needed to do it in the toilet. So what does Mac do???? He holds it, all day... So when I got home with Mac I immediately put him on the toilet promising toys, candy bars, and tv shows if he pooped on the toilet. He gladly said yes at first then after about 10 minutes of sitting there decided that he didn't want any of those things... So he came off the toilet until mommy got home. As I was off getting Jami a root beer, Mac started to poop in his diaper so Jami rushed him to the toilet. As he was telling her that he didn't want to potty he did!
HE POOPED!!!!!!!!

So what did Mac want as a reward? Toys! So off we went in Mac's big boy underwear to Fred Meyer. As we got to the toy section Mac ran around trying to find a toy that he wanted. I found a toy that he might like and turned to him to ask if he wanted it. What I saw was a toddler standing in what seemed like a gallon of pee, pants soaking and dripping wet with pee. I grabbed him up and ran towards the exit with Mac screaming, "NO NO NO, I don't wanna go!" People would have thought that I was kidnapping the kiddo if it wasn't for the occasional "daddy" thrown into the pee induced tantrum. I threw Mac in his carseat and zoomed off towards home. We were only able to calm Mac down by telling him that we would go back.... This time in a diaper. We found a bubble guppies toy in the clearance section, $20 for a normally $50 toy. He is currently playing with it on the floor. He is not going to be happy when I tell him its time for bed...

Poop

This is a random thing to do a blog post about but.......

Mac POOPED in the toilet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joe and Mac are going to pick out a toy for Mac's reward!

The weekend in pictures

Yes, I am feeling a little lazy.  I feel like that is justified as I am growing a person.  So I am just going to do the lazy thing and post a bunch of pictures from the weekend and give descriptions with them......

Oh and as I post this my wonderful husband is making me an awesome dinner of fried halibut!  I am about to start drooling....

My mama sent up a box of my old baby clothes.  This awesome tshirt was in the box.  I was like 5 years old.  What makes me giggle is that Mac would NOT be able to fit into a shirt that I wore when I was like 5.  

 We had friends over for the Superbowl.  We ate lots of food.  I was mostly super excited about this smore fondue.  Ridiculously excited.

We went shopping yesterday and look what adorableness was in the clearance section at Old Navy!

Mac only wanted this Superman hat that he saw at Old Navy and apparently when I say "Mac let me get a picture of you in your new hat" that this is the face he gives me.

I find this adorable. 

We had a super healthy lunch of pretzels.  Mac tore it up. 

Proof of my gigundo belly.  6 months right there. 

This is what happens when I wake up before my husband.....

My belly today.  Yup.  It's big.  But Joe says that I have not entered beach ball status yet....

"Chocate pizza"

This has been a LONG week.  I think it might be time for me to invest in a heating pad at work.  I also might need to invest in some more maternity clothes.  In about a month....my maternity shirts will probably no longer cover my belly.

Since it has been a LONG week....Mac and I got some snuggle time in last night on the sofa.  I think he is coming down with a head cold because he has been super snuggly.

Since it was a LONG week....Joe picked up pizza on his way home.  He also picked up a dessert pizza (smores!).  Mac ate two slices of dinner pizza and then two slices of "chocate pizza."  His little voice is just so stinking cute.  He DESTROYED pizza.  He seriously ate as much as I did.  Yup, a 2 year old ate the same amount of a 29 year old.

This morning I got up pretty early (530).  Heyward decided to sleep at my feet....

I spent the time looking online at adorable baby clothes......this one came from Baby Gap!

And as I am working on this blog post, I am thoroughly enjoying a strawberry milkshake.  I don't need no cup holder!
