Tired

It's been a long day so I'm just going to make this short and sweet and then go and lay down on the couch!
So we got up this morning and had to go to Target and get a bag and a card for a present I got for a baby shower and I also had to go and exchange the clothes I bought for Ethan because I guess I thought he was in a bigger size then he was. I also picked up a couple pairs of shorts and shirts for Emma. I went through her clothes this morning and found out that she really only had 2 pairs of shorts and 2 shirts for summer. She needs more... Okay well all that is taken care of now.
After we got back home I got ready to go to the baby shower. It was very nice. The girl who was having a baby I have known since she was born. Her grandma and my mom use to be best friends. We have lost touch over the years but it was good to see her and her family again. She got a TON of presents...I have never seen so many in my entire life!!!
Got home from the shower and took the kids to the park right down the road from where we live. It's a nice little park but Alpine defniitely beats it. So we got to the park and Josh had taken Ethan's training wheels off his bike to teach him how to ride without them. This was kind of scary because I didn't want him to fall off and either break something or get injured somehow. WOW was I wrong! He is an old pro at it...I was very shocked! Josh ran behind him for a minute to show him that the wheels were off and after that he was able to do it. I'm very proud of him! He even learned how to slow down and catch himself from falling. Just one time and that was it. WOW! Okay so after that we decided to take the kids to Alpine park. They had a blast there. Emma went in and out of the little tot tree, slid down the slides, and loved the swing! I do believe that is where we will have her 2nd birthday party. She will be 2 on May 19th! I can't believe that already. Ethan is climbing all over that equipment now. I remember when we took him there for the first time and I was right behind him holding him and pushing him...not anymore. Now that's Emma and I'm sure it won't be for long!
We came home and decided to cook burgers on the grill. That was yummy. The children wanted to play outside again and now I'm just typing with Emma sitting on my lap as we speak. She is absolutely scared to death of every little noise she hears now. We are running the dish washer and every little noise it makes she starts screaming and runs as quickly as she can over to me. Wow I don't really know why that's happening now but it is. I do have to say my daughter looks absolutely adorable today. She's wearing a little skirt and shirt and her little chunky legs are sticking out! :-)
Big Brother's on now so I'm going over to the couch and laying down....
Hope all of you had a good weekend! Until next time...
