Even though I've been enjoying the cooler weather, I have gotten little to no exercise this week. I feel like a lump. The bummer is that the lack of outdoor activity just makes me want to go take a nap.
We attempted a walk earlier in the week, but the wind made me too cold about 2 blocks in. We turned back to grab my sweater, but just played out back instead. I should probably pop in the yoga dvd my cousin let me borrow...

Ben's sister is coming to visit this weekend. She hasn't been down for 6 months, we are so excited to see her + visit. We are also going to try and get some gardening done during the long weekend. I plan on getting some composting soil and planting carrots, squash, and sugar snap peas!

Crayons are Malakai's latest obsession. I kept him fairly quiet through a 2 hour meeting at work with a box of crayons and two paper cups. He doesn't so much draw with them anymore, he loves to sort them and say the colors.
This is how I got him to stand still for my weekly photo earlier this week and what kept him entertained for most of the ultrasound yesterday. The second best bet, a stack of paint sample cards I snagged at the local hardware store last weekend. Can't go wrong with free toddler entertainment.

Yesterday Malakai's friend Henry turned two. I can hardly believe that it's that time of year already! The park party got rained out for the most part, but we had a lot of fun seeing friends. Malakai ended up taking a header into the water + muck outside while Henry was discovering his new balance bike from his parents. He didn't cry but we were both a bit muddy for the rest of the evening. It was still a great day. So much fun to watch these boys play together and call out each other's names!
Malakai's birthday is in just 8 short weeks. I should probably get on the party planning...

I'm still getting used to the thought of two boys. After yesterday's muddy mess I got a glimpse into my future...lots of laundry. ha! I'm also seeing Malakai as such a big boy these days. I must confess I had to steal a moment with him yesterday during nap time. I waited for him to fall asleep and then I carried him to my bed and we took a nap together. It won't be long before baby brother will be taking up the space in our bed.

I have a lot of reviews coming up which means discounts + giveaways for you (hooray!). The biggest one is going to be a fundraiser for Malakai's surgery. It'll kick off on Tuesday and we have 11 AMAZING sponsors who have donated fabulous prizes for the winner. You won't want to miss it!
Happy long weekend!
