This was our second year watching Santa arrive by helicopter! Such a great family tradition! The scheduled day was smack in the middle of a week of heavy rain, but it barely even sprinkled during the hour we were on the runway!
On another note, I'm sure it's the pregnancy talking, but I am about to crack! My nerves are frazzled and my patience thin. I seem to crave quiet and space this pregnancy, but I cannot even sit in a chair without the boys climbing all over it...or me...while yelling! And Ryan is as busy at work as ever. But these boys deserve a more loving mother! I will just be happy if I make it to Christmas—and hopefully until this baby comes in March! So please pray for me!
This is so cool! I am sorry it is hard - hopefully you can make it through the busy holidays by simplifying and taking it easy. A change like this always is hard - which is probably why I am so afraid to take the leap to three kids. I am rooting for you!
ReplyDeleteAlison - I almost think I will like having three kids better than I like having two and being pregnant! Here's to hoping! Thanks for the sweet thoughts!
DeleteI hear ya. E decided to stop taking naps this week to boot. You're a great mom--you can do it!
ReplyDeleteYou're amazing, Liz! Seriously, I do not know how you do it! Chase gave up his naps, too, a couple months ago. Torture! But also kind of nice to have an early bedtime! Good luck to us all!
DeleteSo sorry you've not feeling as well as you'd like....wish I could be more help. Do what you can to fill your own bucket. Go to bed early! Love, Mom
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel!!! I felt that way when pregnant with my last one. By the time Cam came I was done, forever! The time seemed to go by so slow. I felt like I was yelling at them constantly, even for things I normally wouldn'tbe mad at them for. I would then break down crying. Ahhhh, the emotions of being pregnant! Too bad we are still not there. You could bring them over and let go wild with mine :)
ReplyDeleteMy boys would LOVE seeing Santa arrive by helicopter, especially my 4 year old. He has an infatuation with both. Good luck with everything!! I know some days are better than others. Those are the days to just let go and know it will get better :)
What sweet little faces, so excited in the helicopter. Props to you for even having the energy to venture out to that air strip! Hang in there. Love you! Wish I could come give you a day of peace & quiet.
ReplyDeleteThanks, mar! I'm doing much better this week. Just letting go of expectations and trying to relax a little more until Christmas. Miss you! We got your cute Christmas card - thanks!
