Papa Branko's 90th birthday in Florida, November randoms, and beginning of Christmas celebrations!

 


I don't get many opportunities to take pictures with the boys, so I try when I can!


During Thanksgiving weekend, we booked the train in East Troy to take it to the Elegant Farmer. It was a bit chaotic, but looking back at it 5 months later, it gives me the Christmas feelings!














Thanksgiving leftovers at Auntie Mary's, you can typically find these two playing with this in the basement when we're there.



Matching shirts with Dad.


The Wednesday before Thanksgiving, while Branko was at school, we put the tree up so when he got home from school and Conrad woke up from his nap, we could decorate the tree. Branko was so excited to decorate this year. We had Elf on in the background and played Christmas movies all weekend, I look back at this and have such a great memory and feeling of happiness.




Thanksgiving feast at school, his teacher's told us he ate at the Thanksgiving party and also ate all of his lunch. That's our boy!


Halloween costumes while looking at Christmas decor.





Quiet, independent play that lasted maybe 5 min, if that..


Branko's zoo calendar came in the mail.


Conrad enjoying all of the Christmas stuffed animals we own.




I told you we got a lot of use out of the halloween costumes this year..


A lion with the lionesses. 



I love when they match.


Decorating his tree for his room.

Another night of matching PJs I had to take a pic!  (Branko typically just wears shorts and a t shirt to bed)


In early November, we flew down to Florida to celebrate Papa's 90th birthday! The whole family was there and we all got Condo's right on the beach and next to our favorite restaurant, Buzz's. 



Conrad and his cousin Evie who are just about a month apart.





















I signed Branko up for "Ants in your pants" through the city to get some energy out in the evenings as it got colder out, we went to it once, he had a blast, and then never wanted to go back. It was on a school night and I think he got all of his energy out at school and he just wanted to be home on these days.





Conrad enjoys making my coffee every morning. If he wakes up in a bad mood, I ask if he wants to make coffee and he immediately runs and is so happy.


Day at Milliagers


Conrad got some new slippers, I just love them!

  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!

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...

 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...
