Finally Friday

Friday marked the end of a short but good week - not only was it Friday, but it was payday and a rare jean day as well! My favorite days of the year!

When I picked Hayden up from daycare, he was outside playing with the other kids so I got Tucker loaded up into the car seat first. I didn't even have to open the back door before Hayden saw me and when he ran up to give me a hug four other kids followed and swarmed the car seat. So funny to me that all of these little kids love to see the little baby in his car seat! But I couldn't let the look for long. I told Hayden to tell his friends good bye and he waved to them. Before we could walk away this adorable little girl who's about Hayden's age with curly red hair came over and gave him a big hug! It was the cutest thing!

The weekends are my time to do some housework and go to the grocery store. Before Tucker was born, I cleaned the bedrooms and bathrooms on Friday while Jason was at work (the weekends he worked) and went to the store on Saturday morning. While I was on leave from work I went to the store on Friday mornings so as to avoid the weekend crowds. The last time I went I took both boys and regretted it the entire time. If Tucker wasn't upset and crying Hayden was throwing a fit because he had to be in the cart or running off down the aisle when I did let him walk beside me. But I decided to brave the store again, just me and the boys, tonight. This time, though, I tried a different approach. When we had Hayden, Jason's mom got us a Peanut Shell - a fabric sling you wear to carry your baby around in, like a front carrier only it's worn across the shoulder and comes in fun fabrics. I had used it last weekend to carry Tucker around in while vacuuming. He slept through me vacuuming the entire house without making a peep so I decided to try it again. I put Tucker in the peanut shell and Hayden in the front of the cart and we made it through WalMart and Dillons without any problems!
