Controlling the Chaos!

Life with three kids isn't easy. When I found out I was pregnant with Hudson I was very confident that I could handle the chaos that was about to come. I had two already and they were a bit older and it was going to be an easy adjustment. Well I had myself fooled. It was and still is an adjustment to all of us. I try really hard to put on a good act but some times I don't know if I'm coming or going and feel like that effects everyone. Especially my girls. Hudson is such an easy baby and just goes with the flow for the most part but my girls lives have been turned upside down. Don't get me wrong they love that the have a baby brother but now their mom is having to be pulled every which way. I feel like I need to get organized in order to have control of my chaos. So tonight I'm spending some time on making some list of what I need to do to control the chaos.

I started by making a daily to do list for my girls. One for the morning and one for the night. I was searching through Pinterest and I couldn't find one that I like so I created my own. 

 

I just love how they came out. I just need to get them laminated and I'm going to create a little command station for them. Some where that Hudson can't destroy. I will post about the girls little command station when completed. Need to create one for me first and I'm just trying to figure out the best spot to do that. Stay tuned.....

Harper Turns Six!

This past month we celebrated Harper's Birthday. She turned six on February 10. I really can't believe that she is already six. I feel like just yesterday we were bringing her home and trying to juggle two kids under 2. A lot has change since then and now we are trying to juggle 3 kids!

We had a fun-filled weekend planned for Harper's birthday.  We had a family party on Friday with tacos and cake. Harper was able to pick her dinner and of course like her momma she picked tacos.

On Saturday we woke up early and had a birthday breakfast of Harper's choice and then it was off on an adventure. We headed to the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut. It was our first time there and it was lots of fun! Of course I didn't take any pictures there. I was trying to be in the moment!

 

We had lunch at Mystic Pizza which by that point we were all exhausted and hungry!! It was really good pizza of course and I actually wish I had some right now!

After lunch and walking around Mystic for a bit, it started to rain so we headed back to the hotel. The girls and Brett enjoyed the pool while Hudson and I napped!

I kind of stopped taking pictures after our nap/pool. As I said I was trying to be in the moment and not always have my phone out. Easier said then done! We enjoyed a yummy dinner at the Engine Room in Mystic and then headed to Toys R Us so Harper could use a gift card she had! We ended the night playing a mean game of Uno and we all fell asleep watching the Olympics but then abruptly awoken at 5:45 with the alarm going off. Ugh so much for sleeping in. Oh well! We had a great time away and Harper had a great birthday weekend!

 

Weekend Recap!

     

Why do weekends go by so fast? It was a very nice weekend. Brett was off which doesn't happen often so we took advantage it and had a fun weekend!

On Saturday Mollie had a birthday party at a roller skate rink. It was her first time skating and she was a little nervous and did a great job. She never gave up no matter how many times she fell. Will have to take her again so that she can practice more. We then spent the afternoon at Patriot's Place in Foxboro. We had fun walking around Bass pro. So excited for the Patriot's to be in the Super Bowl this year!

Sunday was spent having Breakfast out, going to Walmart, CCD for Mollie, taking naps, getting new beds for the girls room, and celebrating my Brother's birthday coming up! It was a good weekend. Looking forward to the next weekend coming up! It is going to be a good one!
