Type A All the Way

Hi All! Sorry that I haven't been very good about blogging lately. I know that I am causing all of the grandparents to go into baby picture withdrawals, and for that, I sincerely apologize. :)

To be honest, I am having trouble finding the time to do anything "extra" (meaning anything aside from eating, sleeping, breathing, feeding children, diapering, entertaining children, cleaning, laundry, etc.) these days. I have always blogged during naptime. However, I am having trouble getting both of my monkeys to nap at the same time lately.

You see, I am completely and totally a type A personality. I thrive on structure, schedules, and lists. I am a rule follower, obsessive cleaner (although my standards have decreased dramatically since Drew was born), and maybe a teensy-weensy bit of a control freak.

Having 2 kids, however, has been VERY good for me. Being a Mommy of 2 has forced me to be more laid back and less structured. Which is good, I guess. I am learning to go with the flow and not to sweat the small stuff.

So... some days Drew takes 2 naps and some days he takes 3. Some days Clayton takes a nap and some days he doesn't. That's all well and good, but it has led to much less computer time and thus much fewer blog posts.

In conclusion, a recovering type A Mama is not a very good blogger. ;)

Enough of my wordy explanation of my neuroses... onto the pictures.

In a moment of weakness, I bought Clayton some Silly String at Hobby Lobby. Seconds after opening the package, my Nikon D50 was covered in orange goo. Lesson learned.


We have been letting Clayton watch the old 1970's Superman movies. It has sparked another wave of superhero obsession. (Which is great, because if I had to pretend to be Princess Leia one more time, I think that I would have lost my mind!) He has worn his Superman shirt for the last 3 days (more evidence that I am letting go of my OCD past!). Leigh Ann - the Superman cape that you got Clayton was the best $10 you ever spent!

Yesterday as soon as we walked in the door from church, Clayton ran upstairs. Wade and I both knew that he was going to put on his Superman getup. Apparently, he wanted to surprise us, because he hid around the corner and said, "Wait for it.... wait for it...." and then jumped out to show us his outfit. Wade and I laughed so hard that we were crying! Seriously, what 4 year old says, "Wait for it.... wait for it...."?!?!?

I think that Spidey is freaking Drew out a bit. I'm sure that this will result in lots of therapy one day. Bless his heart.

Drew is doing the swimming motion that precedes crawling right now. Wade is constantly taunting me with the fact that he will be crawling soon. I'm so not ready for that...

I know that my genetic link makes me a bit biased, but isn't he a doll?!?!?

Happy Monday, y'all!
