August Recap

This guy has not been a fan of the stroller lately...

Boys are enjoying the new couch! As I update this, I have never taken any pictures of the finished look! I got a new rug for the living room and it looks so much better! I also got rid of the TV stand which really opens up the space and allows more room for the boys to play.




For Kelly's birthday/Christmas gift (Patricks sister), we went to lollapalooza. It was another hot day, but we saw the Killers and they were so good live! I didn't realize how many songs of their I actually knew. Those are the best concerts. Brandon Flower's is definitely in the right line of work because he knew how to work the crowd.






Reunited.


If only he would still wear this helmet...


Conrad sure has expressed his opinion on what he wears these days.


Cute pictures from school!




Chocolate cake to celebrate mom and dad's 7 year wedding anniversary!


Branko wanted to bring his monkey to the zoo






This is what our sandbox looks like most days. Branko could spend hours burying his super hero's, rinsing them off in the water table, taking them out and making a pile, and repeating. Now that it's cold out, he does this with his plastic animals in a bin of rice. It makes a mess, but it keeps him happy and content!



I got Patrick a cheese grader to connect to our kitchen aid, Conrad enjoys helping and being a taste tester.



Conrad has really shown interest in the potty lately and has been going every now and then. With Branko, we were starting from scratch with potty training bc he would pee a little bit at a time, whereas Conrad holds it. I had to wait to start potty training Conrad until he turned 2 and is moved into his new classroom at school, as his current classroom doesn't have bathrooms. Since this picture, we've been potty training Conrad for about 3 weeks, he's starting to be able to verbalize to us that he has to go, but a lot of it is still seeing his potty dance or deer in headlights look.




We sure do get a lot of use of our zoo pass!


One weekend in August, we planned a girls trip to stay at Taylor's cabin near Minocqua. It was a cold weekend in the 60's, but nice to get away. Here we are in our matching sweatshirts this year. I'm actually wearing it right now as I'm writing this post!









The school did a siblings post on facebook and the boys were featured!


Sensory play is this guys love language.


I love how concentrated Conrad gets when he writes/colors.


Magician at school!



We headed to the Kenosha County Fair one day and ran into the Bjorns/my uncle. I'm not sure if I've ever been to this fair or not? We went early and it was the perfect size for the age of the boys.




Dessert for breakfast!








I loved serving dinner outside to the boys at this table. Easy clean up!


Filter fun!




This guy sure loves pushing anything around.








Shoessss!



Got to go to the zoo with Ella/Jackie while Jackie was still on maternity leave. Lots of carasal pics in this month!








Got both boys to sit through the Kohl's Show this day somehow.


Worn out from the morning




Patricks mom offered for Branko to spend the night and attend their local fair. Once they got there, Branko was a bit overwhelmed and they went home and went to the park. 

Patrick was out of town this particular weekend (same cabin as I went to, just boys trip this time) and Conrad and I got to have a little date. Dinner/ice cream at the Chocolate Factory followed by some splash pad time.




There was an event going on (can't remember what the fundraiser was for) where there were teams of people we're on rowing machines. They had some good music and allowed for great entertainment for Conrad.


This summer Conrad was in swim lessons and did GREAT! He loved going and being dunked in the water.







Blue eyed beauty.











Very helpful boy when it came to watering the flowers this summer.



Halloween is just around the corner and this guy still is bummed its over.



Another Green Meadow Trip with Meadow and Dawson!



Conrad could eat cereal for every meal



The local lions fest was during labor day weekend, we were prepping Branko for our Disney trip and standing in lines and riding on the rides. Stay tuned for our Disney pics and a fun announcement!

A little bit of life in Feb/March

  Someone got into the red paint post bath.. Fun trip to the library This wall had them entertained for a while Conrads a bit more of a nurturer than his brother Get in m belly! Farm fresh eggs from Taylor! Branko has been a huge super hero lover these days. He has 6 stretchy small super heros that I actually got for Conrad for valentines day. The material its made out of gets full of lint and hair, so Branko gives them "baths". Playing with the outdoor lights. There was a crazy storm one night and Branko set up Hulk/Ironman in the window to watch the storm with him. I thought I had a picture of it, I guess not! Pics from school :) Our photo frame is always a big hit with the boys Panera (or First Watch) with Grandma Conrad is so proud of himself getting the coins in the piggy bank A normal night in super hero capes and Conrad climbing on the end table/couch My oldest is getting too big to carry :( Enjoying a rare solo bath Culvers, yummmm Enjoying the spring air!

 On Wednesdays, Branko has daycare, leaving me with the two younger boys. To be honest, having all three of them is easier than juggling the younger two by myself. Conrad is at a tough age right now where he wants all of my attention and gets aggressive/jealous when I need to feed or hold Michael. On this particular day, we needed to get out of the house, so Conrad led us through Target. He ran away twice, which was fun chasing him with the doona stroller. Thankfully, it wasn't busy! I hate the running away phase! We also went to my favorite coffee shop. Meanwhile, Branko learned about trains at school and was excited to go to his mama's house as his destination. Michael has started to be more alert these days. I just LOVE his eyes Superhero brothers! Our neighbors who live behind us babysit for us sometimes and this particular day Carsen was on spring break and lent a hand on a Friday where it was me and all three while Patrick was working. She played with the older boys and h...

Disney World and baby #3!!

Both boys fell asleep as soon as we landed.... in Orlando. We waited for everyone to get off the plane before waking up these sleeping beauties. We started the trip out rough, I was super sick with no energy the day before we left and Patrick had the same symptoms the day we left. I think we may have had Covid after hearing what other people's symptoms were after we got back. I didn't want to bring their car seats, so we booked a bus to take us from the airport to our hotel. NEVER AGAIN! (at least while the boys are this young). We waited in the airport for the bus for an hour and a half. Recipe for disaster after waking up early, driving to Midway airport, being on a plane, waiting in line for the bus, and then sit on the bus to get to the resort. It was a lot and not a great way to start the trip. We'll get a car rental next time. Yes, we thought about an uber, but they only have options for 1 carseat. We stayed at the Contemporary Resort to be on the monorail and close t...
