Sean thinks he's slick. Jason asked him to help pick up books to which he replied, "I'm eating my raisins. Do you want me to poop well or not?". I told Sean to pick up his room so we could leave to which he replied, "I'm a very slow cleaner. Do you want to be late?". Seriously, this kid is too smart! Evie has discovered her hands, feet & voice this week! I'm sure she always knew they were there, but she's really learning how to use them. She loves grabbing her feet when they're "naked". She also likes listening to & talking to Sean. He's her favorite person (next to me of course ;). In his words, he's her hero! Awww...
09/01 - Happy 1st birthday Ella!!! We took the kids swimming at St. Clair Shores. They LOVED it. Sean amazed us both by jumping in, not plugging his nose, swimming by himself, etc. He was a little fish. Evie kicked her legs and people watched. 09/02 - Sean & Evie went to Ms. Christie's house to play with the kids while Aunt Susie had a meeting at church. They spent the afternoon with her. That night Sean spent the night with Paiger at Grandma Sue & Grandpa Larry's. 09/03 - Evie came with me to get my hair cut. She wasn't too thrilled about sitting in her carseat all that time. Thankfully a nice stylist who didn't have any customers at the time held her. :) Afterwards we went to visit Ms. Jessica & Jace. That night me, daddy, Sean & Evie went to putt putt and then out to dinner. 09/04 - We met Grandma for breakfast. Sean does not like certain food textures & if something feels weird in his mouth, he gags & throws up. Well, Grandma gave him a bite of her pancake & it was crispy around the edges. 2 minutes later, she was in the bathroom with him cleaning up puke. Ahhh, the joys!! That afternoon we met Aunt Paula, Uncle Dan, Great Gram, Grandma & Aunt Mary for lunch. Afterwards, we went out to Nichole's house to play with all the kids. It was like we were running a daycare!! ;) How cool though that most of my friends have kids my kids' ages. When we came home, Grandma picked Sean up for a sleepover. 09/05 - Sean & Grandma stayed up too late & woke up way too early, so they missed church. I'm going to have to put a stop to these wild parties if they start missing church! ;) Grandma dropped Sean off at coney where we took Kiara to lunch for her birthday. We had dinner at Grandma & Puppas with Aunt Mary, Scott, Uncle Mike & Max. 09/06 - Daddy & I moved the rooms around. Sean & Evie are in our old bedroom & we're in his. Grandpa Jim took Sean to the Maranatha Labor Day picnic. We finished the night with swimming. :) 09/07 - We met Grandpa Jim at Walmart to get Sean's school supplies. That night, we went to Sean's "meet the teacher" night at the school. He was so excited & very fascinated with the behavior chart. :) 09/08 - Sean & Daddy took Andy to her last night of puppy preschool. She passed! ;) Afterwards, we went to FX. Sean was so excited to play with Chase. He's missed him! 09/09 - First day at the school for both kids. Sean will be going Tuesday, Thursday & Friday mornings. Evie will just be there on Thursday mornings. Sean kept his bus on the green light all day!!! (in behavior chart world, this is good!! ;). That night we went to play with Carter & Chase. 09/10 - Daddy was gone, so both kids were up at 6:15!!! Evie was hungry, Sean was crabby - ahhh great start to the morning! We were suppose to go to Aunt Val's to play with Alex & Nathan, but Sean needed a nap before he was playing with any other kids that day. Later that night we went to Chase's 5th birthday party - Happy Birthday Chase!! Grandma came over & had a sleep over with Sean after that. I had to promise them that they could still do whatever they wanted, even at my house. They're trouble together!! 09/11 - I dropped the kids off at Grandma Sue & Grandpa Larry's. They hung out there with Paiger while I went to breakfast & for a mani/pedi with my small group girls. Ahhh the life!! I picked up Evie afterwards & Sean went with Aunt Mary & Scott to the cider mill. They were having a great time but it started raining, so they had to come home. We finished the night going to dinner with Grandma, Aunt Mary & Scott. Grandma had the wait staff sing happy birthday to Sean. He wasn't sure what to think about it... 09/12 - HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY TO SEAN!!! What a blessing he is to all of us. I can't believe that 4 years ago he came into our lives & NONE of us have been the same since!! He woke up yesterday & said, "Is it my birthday yet?". He was convinced that he couldn't be 4 until he blew out the candle & that he was all of a sudden bigger because he was a year older. We went to church, daddy took Sean & Chase to play putt putt, we went over to Connor's for Ella's 1st birthday party. Rory, Aiden & Liam were there too. We came home & painted rocks. Grandma, Puppa & Grandpa Jim came over to sing happy birthday to Sean. He said he didn't eat cake, so just to put his candle on a piece of cheese, but Grandma got him a cake anyway. Puppa gave him money to get an ice cream from the ice cream truck & he picked out the birthday cake ice cream sandwich. At the end of this non-stop, busy day, Sean says to me, "Where are we going today?". I said, umm, no where, it's 7:30. His reply? "But I didn't get to play with anyone. They came over to see me, but they didn't play with me."...nice. 09/13 - After work I had a meeting at church, so Sean & Evie stayed with daddy. When I called on my way home daddy said, "Well, my goal was to keep everyone alive and they're all alive!". Quite the overachiever! ;) Evie was happy to see me. She "told" me she loves Daddy, but she really missed me. Sean got put in time out for jumping on Andy's head. He says that's how he "loves" her. This is going to take some work! 09/14 - We dropped Sean off at preschool & headed to Ms. Jenny's. Evie hung out with her & Avery while I went shopping with Aunt Nicole for family picture outfits. Grandpa Jim picked Sean up from school & we met them at home. We went to Grandma & Puppa's for dinner that night. Aunt Mary was there too. Puppa & Evie walked around outside, socializing with neighbors while Grandma & Sean played on pbskids.org. 09/15 - Grandpa Jim played with both kids outside, so I could get some stuff done around the house. Evie LOVES being outside. Not sure how she's going to handle the Michigan weather that's sure to come. At night we went to church. I was so proud of Evie. When I picked her up, most of the other babies were freaking out. She was resting in a swing. :) 09/16 - The kids are with Aunt Susie & then Sean is going over Grandma Sue & Grandpa Larry's. Evie & I might have dinner with Grandma & Puppa - Daddy is bowling.
