~Its Been A Few Days... Lets Catch Up~

Well, its been a few days... So, I thought I'd do some catching up, for You All :D

Hmm, lets see....

Nothing much has really been going on.  We are pretty much staying busy with the kiddos and just adjusting to being a family of 4 now.  Let me tell ya, its an adjustment, trying to get youself and TWO kids ready to go places now.  I've already learned that you need to allow for extra time... lol.

Friday, Rowan, Zachary and I went out to the grocery store.  I know, I know.  Not a big deal, but hey, I was able to get out of the house!  Derek had to do some stuff down at the police department, so it was just the three of us.  Of course I went to Raley's, where I used to work and still know plenty of people there... So, they were happy to finally meet Little Man :D  Let me just tell you, he was a hit... hehe...

But the nice thing about getting out was that I had to find something to wear to go out... And guess what!  I was able to wear non-materinty clothes!!  Can you believe it?  Woo Hoo for Jennifer.  Not even three weeks after having Zachary and I'm out of my stupid maternity clothes... Hey, they might not be my 'normal' sized clothes, but I was happy to wear something besides pants with a panel on them... haha.

Saturday, Rowan and I went to Target and left Mr. Zachary home with his daddy.  It was just a girls day out... And of course, I got Miss Rowan some stuff to spoil her... lol.  Some new sandals and "Wonder Colors" from Crayola.  You know, its those special crayons and paints that work on only certain paper.  She just loves them...

Ssshhh... So do her dad and I ;D  Not only can she not write anywhere she isn't supposed to... But they are fun to play with... hehe.

Also on Saturday night, Derek and I went out on our own.  Yep, we went out with out the kiddos for a while.  Thankfully, my parents were willing to watch the kiddos for a little bit....

I was a little nervous about leaving Zachary.  Not because of his age or what ever, or leaving him with my parents, but because of his 'feedings'... lol.  So, I ended up pumping some food for him (not an easy task for SOME reason!!) in case he got hungry in the hour and a half that Derek I were gone.  Mind you, I fed him at 630pm, dropped him off at my parents house at 7pm... And I was informed that he ate again at 745pm!!  Can you believe that??  I was sooo suprised... But my mom said that he took to the bottle with no problem.  And it was his first time with a bottle too!  Boy, did we luck out.

Luckily, for me (hehe), the party was a bore and I ended up picking up the kiddos just before 9pm.  Derek went off with some of his buddies from work to have a "Boys Night Out" for a little while... So, it was just the kiddies and I at home for the night... I guess I should get used to that feeling because soon enough, Derek will be heading back to work.  It was just weird not having Derek home to help me tuck the kids into bed...

And Miss Rowan is getting a little too used to having her Daddy home with her.  She in fact asked for him this evening... She didn't want me to help her or comfort her... She said, "I want Daddy"... And was very sad when I told her he wasn't home... And when I told her we couldn't call him (due to him being in a meeting) she was even more heartbroken!  Poor baby... I just hope him going back to work doesn't break her heart even worse!!

Well, I have to go finish up making dinner... And I'm trying to watch Extreme Makeover: Home Edition... So, I hope everyone has a great week!!
