Its about to get CRAZY!

Yesterday was the last day of the option period! Jason and I went to see the mortgage broker Friday afternoon and signed a bunch of papers to get everything rolling for closing.

By the way I might add that Jason's Dad took both the boys Thursday night so we could go to the mortgage office Friday and so I was kid less most of Friday and let me tell you it was totally weird! Nice but quiet! I missed our boys like crazy! Jason and I went to on a date to Chuy's and had an amazing time! :)They had fun with Poppa and Granna and went to the Mayborne museum in Waco, which looks awesome by the way and we need to take the boys there after this craziness of moving wares off!

Speaking of closing, we are closing, if all goes well, on August 12th. The owners asked us if they could lease the house for 5 extra days beyond closing so they can find somewhere to live and move out, which we agreed to. I go back to work August 15, well technically the week before that so I can do pre-k registration. We are probably moving in the weekend before school starts, August 20th. Oh geez, MacKenzie, don't panic! The day before the inspection I literally only slept 3 hours and that's with taking 12 mg of Melatonin. I was a nervous wreck and couldn't sleep at all! I am going to try super hard not to panic, because I was telling Jason yesterday from all the blogs I read and major challenges some people face this is a tiny blip in our lives. This is nothing compared to what people who have everyday challenges face. We are fortunate to have a healthy family. That's all I can ask for! Besides I need to realize I don't have to have everything organized completely when we move in! So we may be living out of boxes for 6 months if it takes that long for me to get back into the swing of work and be able to spend time with my family, who cares that our whole house in still in boxes! Spending time as a family is much more important to me than a few boxes!

Our hillarious kid decided he needed a Star Wars room! So what did we do this weekend? We went and bought this bedding (Well just the quilt and the tie fighter sham):

We are now regretting showing him this picture from Pottery Barn Kids, because now he thinks this is his new exact room! He keeps saying he gets the top bunk and Gray gets the bottom one! OH DEAR! (This bed is PRICEY! Trust me I looked!) He likes that shelf at the top and wants "FREAKY-O (his name for C3PO) on that little shelf just like in the picture! I keep asking him if he really wants Grayson to share a room with him and we keep getting different answers sometimes yes and then no.

I also regretted going to the mall with Corbin yesterday as he was awful and had to go to timeout in the middle of the mall! He was throwing a huge tantrum because he wanted a cookie and we hadn't even eaten lunch! We should have just left!

Our new house has 4 bedrooms so they boys can each have their own. We were going to make Grayson have a sports room because he loves Basketball! We are going to wait on his bedding for awhile because we are going to make his crib a toddler bed for while at our new house. We really rushed Corbin out of his crib and into a big boy bed because Grayson was coming. I told Jason yesterday when Grayson turned 2o months that I can't really even remember this time with Corbin! It was such a blur! When Corbin was this age we almost had a newborn! What were we thinking!? No, I kid because I wouldn't change having our sweet Gray for anything!

BTW Grayson LOVES suckers! He has tasted the sweet poison and will not go back! (We give Corbin suckers when he goes pee.) Mommy may have accidentally slammed Grayson's finger in the car door the other night,he was farting around and kept trying to get in the car for something and I had my hands full and then he ran back right as I was closing the door. I swear it was like slow motion. I FELT like the worst Mommy in the world! Anyways while we were putting an ice pack on his finger we got him a sucker to suck on so we could distract him from the ice pack, he hates them, and he was in heaven with that sucker. Now whenever Corbin gets one Grayson screams, "GUCKER!" This morning Corbin got one for himself after he went to the bathroom and Grayson ran the the closet with the suckers screaming "GUCKER! and ran as fast as he could! It was hillarious!

Goodbye Summer

Grayson at Suzi's he LOVED IT! Corbin LOVED the Hot and Sour soup! Daddy would have been proud! :) LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture of Grayson! Thats our boy, SUPER HAPPY ALL THE TIME! :)

Our last official day of summer was Friday, (most of which in the morning I spent at a pre-k registration training). ;( I have to go back to work on Monday and start registering pre-k children. I am slightly nervous about this but I know I can do it.


The boys are headed off to school again Monday as well and its back the same routine. This routine is one I am not particiarly fond of because it takes me forever to do the lunches, laundry, housework and dinner once we get home, when all I really want to do is relax and play with my boys! I am really going to miss them. Corbin is really starting to get into books and loves having me read to him, which I love! He has also been super rambunctious the past two weeks as we have been at my parents house everyday because my sister Carrie is in town with her girls and so we are soaking up tons of play time with them. Corbin and his cousin Morgan are quite the pair! They are so rambunctious when they get together. They are 8 months apart and love playing together, maybe a little too much! They have had to go to timeout a few times! Grayson is such a sweet, loving, cuddly baby! He hardly ever cries unless he is tired, hurt, or hungry. Speaking of hungry this kid loves to eat! So different from Corbin who would breastfeed a lot more often and really didn't care for solids. Grayson loves solid food and only nurses once when he wakes up, and then once around lunch time and then sometimes before bed, then he sleeps all night and then wakes up about 5:30 or 6:30 to have eat.

My family is leaving Monday to move my brother Brenton up to college in Lawrence, Kansas. He is going to my Dad and sister Carrie's almamater The University of Kansas-Go Jayhawks! ;0
Its weird to think that on the 18th of this month we will have lived in Texas 15 years! Brenton was only 4 when we moved here from Kansas and now he is going back.

Now we finally have an excuse to go visit my sister Carrie on Kansas City. We really need to its kinda ridiculous but we haven't really ever set aside money to take a trip. We got married, go our house in order and then started having kids and the expenses just keep going up. I am trying to convince him to take a trip with me for our 5 year wedding anniversary in November but now that Grayson is here his one year birthday is 5 days after our 5 year anniversary. So its not really a possibility. I wanted to go to my best friends wedding in Mexico in June but it was going to be too expensive. Oh well maybe some day, for now we can go visit my sister Carrie and her family and Brenton.
