So Max got a buzz cut for the summer and he looks so grown up.

Sam is getting cuter by the day and I am praying that she keeps those blue eyes just like her momma.

She is just plain adorable.

My little ones in the am watching TV.

Life is good at the beach!

So we arrived Monday. It was a little crazy getting here but we arrived. The house is so beautiful. I love it. The kitchen is white and the house is an open layout and we are just a walk to the bay or the beach.

Just in the past 2 days Sam has rolled over from her back to front and I swear is eating pizza late at night cause she looks huge. Max has a crew cut for the summer and not because I chose that. Max had his hair cut the other day and my sitter took him and he cried endlessly and so the cut was not so good so I thought the hubby should shave it since ALL boys know how to cut hair.WRONG!! not my hubby so he shaved a test run from front to back-GO FIGURE. I cursed, he yelled, I cursed, he cursed and I cried. I took Max, who was screaming bloody murder to the kid barber for an emergency shave. I had to hold him down in a wrestling move but he actually looks adorable.  Yeah he is that kid that screams with snot coming out of his nose and mouth. 

Regardless we made it but I did not lock the front door. yes you heard me. It was not locked because my mom had come over and I guess she just closed the door and I never checked it so our alarm went off last night because it just opened with the rains and the wind. I was amazed that the hubby was so sweet and understanding. He is generally very calm with that stuff but come on the front door. he just said that we all make mistakes and it was a crazy day. What a sweetie.

So Sam is not sleeping. I know she is teething really bad and will only sleep after a small dose of tylenol. She also will only sleep in her swing. UGH! She also does not like food at all. Could this all be teeth? I knew over the past 3 weeks that she was getting bad since she was sleeping half the night in her swing and if not, she screamed and screamed bloody murder. Daphne Goldberg, her doctor and I felt that it was more important to have her sleep that to force her to sleep in her crib but do they make swings that can hold a baby past 20 pounds. I know she is in pain and so I just dont have the heart to let her scream. I know she knows how to sleep and I know she is in discomfort. I tried giving her some homeopathy, Chamomilla 30c, and it seemed to work for a little but did not hold. I will probably call the homeopath today. Teething sucks. 

But the beach is awesome and as soon as I get the camera charged I will upload some pics. We will be here for 10 weeks and already I feel relaxed.I found a local moms group that is letting me join for the summer. I am so psyched.

We took a 7 day vacation to Orlando Florida and the hubby forgot the computer. Thank goodness it was not my mistake. LOL

The flight down was great and the flight back was not so bad but Sam’s ears were hurting her and for a little she was not that happy. So I put her in the Baby Bjorn and she loved that. My friend just gave me one and Sam adores it. I have so many other slings but never used that one and it was a life saver on the trip. I do have to say that traveling is not easy with young ones because you just never know what to expect. But we upgraded for a little extra that day and it made all the difference to be in business class.

Max adored Sea World but did not love Disney World. I am not sure if the crowds or the waiting in line got to him or the fact that I chose the wrong park-he only watches PBS and not anything else so he really does not know the characters. I think he would have loved animal kingdom but I won’t go back till they are older. I do not know how people do that for 7 days with real little ones because I was so damn tired after a day. Now Sea World was a blast and all of the shows were amazing. 

We hung out at the pool, ordered tons of room service, and ate like pigs. We celebrated our 3rd anniversary on the 25th and my birthday on the 28th. Scot and I went out for our anniversary for the first time ALONE since Sam was born and it was amazing. Scott sent roses to the room that am and that eve I had the restaurant make us desserts according to our diet needs and had them write I LOVE YOU SCOTT on his plate. It was so sweet and hey, I also got him drunk. What fun!!

We had a blast and now we are home trying to get back into schedule. I miss having my bed made, calling for food and waited on hand and foot but it is good to be back.

Here are some pictures from the trip.

And Shamu-the whale..

All in all it was great to get away-be with the kids and enjoy my husband. Now we are back to reality.

Yep I got the cold from my son who got it from his sitter, but who really knows, since he loves to eat off the floor, touch everything and constantly is playing around other kids. I am just hoping that the baby does not get sick. I hate being sick. I am sure my body just could not fight the lack of sleep (due to the 2 year old molars) and two nights where I could not sleep ( not due to children, but just could not sleep).

So I have very little energy to write about anything except that Mom’s should not ever get sick because our job does not end.

Good news! We rented a shore house on Long Beach Island for 9 weeks this summer! Yeah, here is the house!

So there it is. At least I am thinking warm summer beach house when I have a cold. There is always some good coming my way.

Well it was a much needed vacation from everything. I think I have also been on a bloggy vacation just trying to keep up with being a mom to 2. It has been great but I have had some postpartum stuff and some nursing issues and I think that pretty much sums it up. I will have to post about those soon. t was great to get away and take a breath. The first 6 weeks were a blur and yet so vivid. It is hard and delightful at the same time. I am getting into a routine and that feels good. It was nice to get away and fall in love with my hubby again and play with Max and snuggle with Samantha. The plane ride there and home was great. Max watched his DVD’S and Sam only had a few times where she was not happy but all in all no complaints. It still is a lot traveling with 2 and while we were in Florida, people kept saying to me that I was BRAVE. Maybe I was being brave because it was tough to get into a routine but once we did-it was bliss. Here are some pictures to show what an amazing timer we had. I cannot believe how much the kids grew with a little sun.
