Life with Bennett {week 42}

Hi everyone!!

Another fun week in the books!

Friday:

We had to celebrate National Donut Day at our favorite donut place, Duck Donuts!!

Bennett was less than excited.

Yum!!! I'll give you 4 guesses as to whose was whose.

(Mine = top left (key lime pie!), Ella = middle left, Lucas = bottom left, and then we got the bottom right bacon one for Trav. The other two on the right were for me to eat later, haha!)

Don't feel too bad for Bennett; I let him have a few very tiny bites of mine...he loved it!

After naps, Trav was home from work, so we gave him his birthday present (a gift card to TopGolf; thank you to my MIL for the suggestion!!!!)

And then we went out to eat for his birthday!

Don't let the picture fool you, Lucas inhaled that hamburger in about 3 minutes flat.

We also let Bennett have a few french fries and he was obsessed with them. Clearly he had some very healthy eating this day, between the donut and these fries!

Saturday:

Ella went to her friend Ellie's birthday party!

I'm slightly in love with the birthday girl's skirt (it is from H&M, yes I asked!)!!!

Meanwhile, these boys were at home watching golf...

...and getting M&Ms for peeing in the potty!

(Yes, potty training has gotten better since last week! We are still not at 100%, but he's making progress and I only mildly need a glass of wine at the end of each day)

Sunday:

Ella and I braved the rain to go to church!

We came home from church to find that Lucas and Travis had taken Lucas's big boy bed out of the box and were starting to assemble it! So I was like, ummmm ok....we are doing this now?!?!

And yes. We did.

This boy was SO ready and excited for his big boy bed!!!

I, on the other hand, was so sad that I only had one child left in a crib!

I'm happy to report that Lucas stayed in his bed ALL night and had been doing fantastic napping in it as well! Such a difference from when we moved Ella to her bed...I still have PTSD from that!

Monday:

We hit up the library. Again.

But this time, we actually made it to story time! Pretty sure this is like the second story time Bennett's ever been to. Such a third child; Ella went almost every week as a baby!

Then it was time for another swim lesson!

Our cleaning ladies were still at our house, so I took the kids to Chick Fil A for lunch. About 5 seconds after I took this picture, Lucas peed everywhere (he's wearing underwear instead of pull-ups now), so that was fun.

Tuesday:

Lucas had his first dentist appointment!

He sat in the chair for about 5 minutes, which is 4 minutes longer than I thought he would. He let the hygienist clean one tooth before he decided that this was no place for him and got out of the chair, never to return again. The sweet hygienist didn't want to force anything on him, so after a few minutes of trying to talk him out of the corner, we decided we would just try again in 6 months. Oh, Lucas. You don't make anything easy, do ya buddy? (Except the sleeping in the big boy bed!!!)

Since we had a very short appointment, we met our friends at a different library for another story time!

Bennett loved the bubbles so maybe we need to go back sooner rather than later!

Wednesday:

Ella had day #2 of her preschool animal camp...

...so I decided to bust out some summer school things at home with Lucas!

Back in the day, I did a bunch of fun activities with Ella the summer than Lucas turned 1 and we were stuck in nap jail. I certainly don't have that kind of time (or energy!) now, but I thought we could do a few transportation-themed activities, and go from there!
