The great outdoors, post 2 of 3

Yes, to me, the great outdoors are a backyard or a city park. Who are you to judge? Anyway - we are having so much fun spending most of our days outside. We even eat meals outside and I lug exersaucers and high chairs, blankets, toys, diapers, wipes and on and on, all outside so that we can enjoy our summer while it lasts.

Here are the boys in a wagon at a friends place

This is a good representation of the boys at their individual stages. Liam can sit up quite well for a minute or two, Evan does not bother to try but is always mr. happy pants and Dylan has moved on from sitting to constantly moving without pause....well, unless he comes across a stray bottle that he can steal and suck dry.

I try to put Dylan in the exersaucer as much as he will go without fussing. Otherwise he is eating plants, dirt and so on. He does not stay on the blanket we put out that's for sure.

Well, grandpa Mooney, your look-a-like may be like you
in more than just looks... He's a book man. At least in this moment.

Luckily for me I have lots of friends who like me and my babies. I had 5 different girlfriends either visit or have us over, within the past 4 days. THANK YOU for giving me adult conversation and for the help. It is what keeps me sane - I think I'm sane anyway.

It's been a fun week with the sun shining and lots of fresh air. YAY!

They are here. They are really really here!!!

It was a cool day. Almost too cold. The kind of cold that makes you rethink your very existence.... Boy. I am waaaay to tired for that. So I will give you the un-dramatic version. So, we are getting bombarded with requests for an update and pictures. So I will oblige and provide you with all the gory details. Actually, there are no gory details. In what can only be described as an amazing answer to many prayers, the new Mooney babies were brought into this world with no problems what so ever. We entered the hospital at 10:00 in the morning and were taken to the surgery room around 12:00 noon. At exactly 12:38, the first baby, Dylan Michael was born weighing in at 6 pounds even. Then, also at 12:38, Evan Timothy also charged into the world weighing in at 5.2 pounds. Then, at 12:39 Liam David was born weighing 4.8 pounds. For those of you good at math, that is a whopping 16 pounds worth of babies. 16 POUNDS!!! And even though them just being born at 36 weeks and 5 days isn...

Did you know?

So, did you know that exercising regularly can help you have more energy!? Okay, so did I. And did you know that eating healthily also helps with that? As does going to bed at a decent time at night? I guess we all know that but I haven't been good at acting like I know that. I was getting frustrated. I was just so tired in the evenings. I wasn't having the kind of quality time with my kids or my husband that I wanted. I didn't feel like going out with friends in the evening. I was okay during the day but that's not when I am with my people, for the most part anyway. Sometimes, I would fall asleep on the couch before my kids bedtime!! If I wasn't asleep, I was lethargic and unmotivated. Just not the me that I wanted to be. It doesn't sound like much, but I just couldn't stand wanting to be intentional but not having the energy to do the things that mattered to me. And my kids are 9,9,9 and 11. That's old enough that I can't use the...

And the final answer is....
