You know you're a parent when...

It's 10pm on a Saturday night and you're at home cuddled up in a blanket watching a movie. That's how most of my nights are anymore. I wouldn't trade it for the world but sometimes I think back to hanging out with friends all hours of the night having one too many beers and going to Waffle House at 2 in the morning.

Pat, Savannah and I went to a pool party today. It was a lot of fun. Savannah was very well behaved. We were in the pool for about 4 hours and she was loving it. I have no idea how we were in there for that long! The time kind of passed us by. It sucks because most people we hang out with don't have kids. And the ones that do live so stinking far away! I swear we always find friends at least an hour away. Luckily my child loves basically anyone that pays attention to her! Or feeds her any kind of junk food. She remembers them. It's kind of Funny. I am rambling and going nowhere right now! Well I guess I'm trying to say is that the pool was great on a nice, sunny day, the food was delicious right off the grill, and Pat and I make a pretty awesome child! :-)

Oh and I am looking for a swimsuit that floats for the kiddo. Anyone know where I can pick one up? Savannah thinks she can swim at times and likes to let go when I'm holding her. I need to get one soon. She doesn't get it after we went to the beach and she was able to go in by herself! She's little miss independent!

Diaper rash cream is the devil...

Savannah has a horrible diaper rash right now! It's her first one ever let me add. The antibiotics shes on is doing it to her. The poor girl was hurting so bad yesterday evening so I busted out some cream a friend of mind blended for me. She works in a pharmacy so she knows little secrets! I stirred it up and put it on the couch. I had everything ready for the baby once she got out of the bath. Well I went to take her diaper off and she grabbed the container of cream. It would have been fine except I didn't put the lid on right so it went everywhere!!!!! Her outfit she was wearing is absolutely ruined. Bella, Savannah, the couch and I still smell like it too. I can't get it out of the cushion. I scrubbed until the couch fabric started getting weird. I ironed it and that didn't help at all. I am going to try a few other things and lets hope that something works! Luckily, our furniture is getting old. So we wouldn't mind getting new furniture! Lol.

On a better note, we will be heading up to NY on the 20th of this month. Savannah and I are driving up with my mom. Plane tickets have been outrageous and we haven't found any good deals. I hope Savannah is well behaved on the trip. I need some ideas on keeping a 16 month old entertained in a carseat! I am staying positive :-)

Happy Mother's Day!!!...a little late

I hope all you awesome moms out there had a great weekend and your kiddos were perfect...haha. If only they could be just one day put of the year. I had a fantastic weekend with my family! I got some pretty cool things too. My mom bought me a photo book with all of my posts on my blog for the first year of Savannah's life. It was very thoughtful and pretty awesome (thanks Flee for making it!!!) I also got some kinect dance games so maybe I can get back into shape.

Saturday, we went to my uncles and he cooked on the grill. He did beef and chicken kabobs, fruit and veggie kabobs and hearts of romaine (my fav grill item). We brought pasta salad, my mom brought deviled eggs and my little sis made cupcakes. Savannah played in the water and all in all it was a good day.

Sunday, just Pat, Savannah and I spent the day together. We did a little shopping and ate pizza. It was nice and relaxing and I couldn't have asked for more!

Here are a couple pictures from Saturday.

Maybe I'll start updating this thing more often. I never realized how awesome it will be for Savannah to be able to look back and see all the things we did!

Happy Hump Day! :-)
