Our Week.

I can't believe another week has gone by, and that we are hitting the tail end of August. I guess it's because every week I feel that this sweet baby boy is coming so much quicker than I could imagine, and since pregnancy is measured by weeks they keep going faster and faster. Luckily for me in no time I will be holding my sweet lover boy in my arms.

Nic headed to Las Vegas this week for work. We sent him out on Monday, and were able to take him to Ruby's favorite place the airport. Poor thing gets a little disappointed when Dad leaves us and doesn't take her on the airplane. So, to lighten the blow of Daddy leaving us we decided to get donuts and help Gram get something’s moved out and cleaned up. We spent the afternoon with her and my Mom, which was an extra treat for Ruby to have both of her Grandma's in one place. We went to lunch and laughed. I love my Momma and MIL and it was nice to see them together.

Tuesday, we were extra busy because it was Ruby's first day of school! I couldn't believe my sweet little baby was headed to preschool, but right after dropping her off and picking her up I felt that confirmation that it was the best choice for that crazy, wild, and social Ruby Girl. She chose her outfit and we rushed (OF COURSE) around all morning. We were going to go to Las Vegas after and I was a little chaotic trying to get everything done before dropping her off. She was so happy to go, a little hesitant that I wasn't coming with her though. I spent the afternoon getting a pedicure, and felt the first benefits of having your kiddoes in school!

When I picked Ruby up she was trying to kife a backpack she preferred over hers. It was so similar but she was thinking it was just a little better than hers. After that was settled she immediately told me all about Miss Cassie and the girls in her classes outfits. She is so funny about clothes and wants the same skirts and outfits as the other girls. She wouldn't let it go, which stores have those Mom? And she is pretty set on getting a few more school clothes since she's seen the latest styles. Goose!

We headed to the airport and flew to Las Vegas. I felt like a pro at the airport, it was funny to get looks from people with my car seat, suit case, purse, stroller, pregnant belly, and enthusiastic two year old. But, it was no big deal. Ruby absolutely loves flying and that makes things so much easier. We landed and headed to dinner with Nic. We went to our favorite place, Lucille's and it was wonderful as usual and I'm seriously thinking for my birthday we will just go to Vegas for the day just to eat a little BBQ.

The week was actually pretty uneventful. We swam for the most part four or six hours a day. Ruby could have swam more but the heat was absolutely killing me. We didn't even get out to much shopping because it was so hot and we couldn't stand being outside. It is really great to be with Nic. He gets really homesick so to have us close by makes it easier. It's also nice for Ruby and I to be able to just relax and not have the distraction of a "to-do" list which makes it easier to be a Mom when all you have to do is swim, sleep, swim, shower, eat, and swim for almost a week. It's also a little boring because we don't get to see Nic but we are on a vacation with him. But, we're lucky to get out of town every once in a while.

We came home to a marathon of business. Nic had to finish the floor by Saturday afternoon, because we were having a shower for Katy's friend. We sold our couch and were taking Tami's since she is moving and didn't think it will fit her new space very well. Katy came over we cleaned and cooked and literally at 3:00pm the floor was done, and minutes later Mitch came over with the couches. We were rushing around, but it turned out to be the very cutest shower ever. I was so proud of my little sister; she did such a good job! Love that little gal.

Saturday night we were so tired we could barely move, and tried watching TV to unwind but we were both sawing logs five minutes into any show we turned on. Sunday was almost as relaxing except Nic was gone at meetings from 6am to 5:30pm. We had friends over that night and after caught up on our favorite show Breaking Bad. How does life never slow down for us, I don't know!
