Something happened
tonight that is so rare, so unexpected, I didn’t know it was
even possible anymore…Hudson went to bed early!
Cue the HALLELUJAH
choir!!!!!!!!!
Now I am faced with
not ONE but TWO WHOLE hours to myself before bed.
THE CHOICES!!!
Workout? Read? Take a
bath? Clean? Online Christmas shopping? Fold that pile of laundry staring me
down across the room??? Finally paint my finger nails? Finish unpacking the
office? Watch a movie for the first time in months?
NO-tonight I am catching up on this poor forgotten blog of
mine-this blog that I have considered an adequate enough replacement for a baby
book for my first born, that is, until we dropped off the face of the planet 4
months ago…
Hudson’s 2nd
birthday was in early October, better late than never!?
I can’t tell you how
excited we were to celebrate Hudson’s 2nd birthday with all of his
family and friends, in our own place, without having to drive back to Spokane
the next day!
We hosted Hudson’s 2nd
big day a week after moving into our new place-which I was crazy to think would be anything less than highly stressful and I will
never do again, but, hey it was all
worth it!
Thanks to Pinterest
and my party planning diva of a mama (man
can that lady plan a party) we hosted Hudson’s 2nd birthday Curious
George style. It ended up being the perfect sunny day and he had a blast playing
with his new friends from school, all
of his family, and lots of our old friends from high school and their kids. I obviously
didn’t learn my lesson after hosting his 1st birthday-the one I
snapped 2 whopping pictures at, which is why there are only a few pictures here
to post, but maybe by his 3rd I’ll get with the program!
We are now in the full
swing of life with a TWO year old-and I am loving every.crazy.minute.of it.
Tonight, Hudson was running around the house giggling and squealing
when we’d chase him, grabbing books to litter the living room floor with,
wanting to play “choo choo” and saying “OH NO” when he put his hand across the
track, spilling juice in the living room, lining up cars on the window sill,
bouncing on his bed, pulling Sammy’s tail, getting into the cookie sheets in
our cupboards, spilling juice in the kitchen, cracking up at my funny faces,
asking to be held, asking for trucks, asking for more juice…
Though I appreciate
the quiet time I get after he goes to bed, I can’t imagine my life without his
energy, joy, curiosity, and innocence!!!
