WEEKLY RECAP :)

Last week I went on a stroller search.  After going at toddler pace through the mall and ending up with Kinley sitting on the parent tray of my current stroller resulting in me practically carrying the stroller through the mall....I was convinced I needed something for two!  Now... I hate strollers.  London was out of a stroller and preferred to walk shortly after 2 and Kinley was the same.  BUT... now that I have to push a stroller, when K's legs get tired it's not easy carrying a toddler and steering a stroller.  SOOOOO...  introduce the Joovy Caboose.  
I knew I didn't want a full double stroller.  I wanted the smallest stroller that could hold 2 and not be a side by side. I have seen the sit and stand type strollers and decided that was the best fit for me.   I tested out the Baby Trend sit and stand and didn't like it.  It was long and bulky and Kinley didn't look comfortable in the seat.  AND.... our Chicco car seat didn't fit well.  I had read reviews about Joovy and it seemed that the Baby Trend would be a better fit but I went ahead and bought one off Craigslist.  Surprisingly I loved it.   I love that it is easy for her to jump on and off when she wants and It is compatible with our carseat. K fits well on the seat in the back and she enjoys standing too. When I compared the Baby Trend and Joovy online, it seemed that the Baby Trend had more room in the back.  I don't think so... 

I ordered the parent organizer to go on the handle bars and we are set!!  We've already taken it out and about and I have no complaints.  So if you're looking for a double for a baby and toddler I'd definitly try out the Joovy :)

I'm making progress on my sisters wedding programs.  I've started taking a handful with me to work on while I sit in the car rider line.  I'm determined to get them all done by tonight!!  Last night i put al the ribbon on them and now I just have to sit and tie bows.

 The ribbon is glittered .... of course I had on black pants and was covered in glitter in the car!!


Don't look at the pic if you get grossed out easily..... Holland had one of those nice massive explosive diapers.  Needless to say she got a nice mid afternoon bath!! 


Today Matt left for the ranch to go to my future brother in law's bachelor party.  Kinley and I made some breakfast casseroles for him to take.  She loved tearing up the bread.  She felt so big and actually was a big help.  I was able to brown the sausage and get the eggs ready while she pinched off little pieces of bread.


She got serious when it came to stirring it all up.  Check out the double spoons.


I picked up this cute outfit at Wal-Mart of all places.  I put an H on it and now Holland has a cute play outfit for summer.  I can't believe I am already buying 6-9 month clothes for her to wear this summer.


And to leave you with a smile... H gave us her first big giggle yesterday ......
