Whew!

We have been busy already this weekend!  Actually, Kayleigh has been busy all week at school making little treats for me for Mother's Day, including a bracelet wrapped in homemade wrapping paper and a cake.  She decorated the cake Friday morning and we wasted  no time getting into it Friday night!

We went to Chuck E Cheese's this morning to celebrate Brian filling up his accident treat chart.  We have been working on it for awhile now as he's practicing going potty in the big boy potty.  Grammy and our friend Emma joined us in the festivities.  We went through almost all of our tokens, but had a blast doing it, so it was worth it! 



Our Chick-Fil-A had a Mother-Son Date "Knight" tonight, and we went with Jenna and Jack.  They had one part sectioned off for us, and it was so nice!  The boys got a balloon sword and were knighted by the cow.  Brian did NOT participate in that ceremony!  He had said on the way there that he wanted the cow to stay in the barn and not come out.  He was so brave when the cow was around, though.  At one point he touched the cow while the cow's back was turned.  :)  The boys also each got a rose to give to Mom.  We had a great time and were so thankful that Chick-Fil-A would go through the trouble to make a special night for us.

Big Boy Bed and Face Painting

Last weekend, we decided Brian was ready to switch his crib to a big boy bed.  I was a little nervous about how he would do, but he's a champ!  He wasn't so sure about it at first, but he loves it now.  He stays in his bed until it's time to wake up and hasn't fallen out of it yet.  Last night he must have been extra tired because he told me he wanted to go to bed and climbed off my lap and climbed into bed.  I can't believe what a big boy he has become!

Hiding
Yesterday, Kayleigh and I ran the Tails & Trails 1 mile again.  This is the second year we've been official runners.  We ran it in just under 16 minutes.  After the race there were lots of dogs and cats to see.  (No, we didn't get one.  We have plenty, thank you!)  The kids also had a SnoCone and some cotton candy.  Kayleigh jumped in the bounce house and they had their faces painted right before we left.  Kayleigh didn't know what she wanted to the lady just picked for her.  Brian wanted to be a tiger and he was super cute!
