"Mommy and Me"

With the impending arrival of our littlest sibling, I have been trying to pack in as much fun as I can for these little fellas (especially since we won't be able to go as much with three kiddos :-) We made a trip to the local library last week, and the boys loved it! They are both avid book fans (we can borrow/return 50 books each trip; but seriously, who has room for that many!?)

And they also enjoyed the puppet corner!

AND story time (we were there over two hours :-) We will be going back in the months to come, especially in the summer months when we can't get out of the house much thanks to triple digits!

That same day Blake accompanied  me to my late afternoon doctor's appointment (after his nap, thank goodness). He looks so big here! Tear.

And then we hit up Cabella's for one special one-on-one time

He really was besides himself that he was not having to compete with big brother for attention, and he kept asking where Bubba was! We treated ourselves to some ice cream before we headed home  The next day, my step-mom watched the little guy for a bit so I could take our oldest on our date. We went to see the highly-acclaimed (by everyone else who has already seen it!) movie, Frozen. Jameston gave it two thumbs up!

And he even paid for our popcorn (well, part of it, that stuff is expensive at the theater :-) 

We had such a special time, since it has been about a year-and-a-half since I last took him to the movies! He went with Brett to see Despicable Me 2 a couple months back. Big boy had a blast!

He was SO silly when we got to Petsmarts, dancing down the aisles and telling me, "Mommy, come look at this!" about fifty times. It is fun to get each child out on their own to see their personality come out in an even bigger way!

Since Brett has been working a lot (12-15 hours days) this month, they have had a lot of mommy time, and it has been fun to get to spend this special time with them before the baby arrives. This was during our target to Target after church on Sunday (without Brett)...silly straws!

I know they will adjust just fine because they do play so often and well together. One afternoon they were wrestling on the trampoline, and I overheard Jameston whisper to Blake, "I will always take care of you." My cup runneth over! Excited to see them interact with their newest sibling, and praying there is a smooth transition for all of us :-)
