What's Up Wednesday

Today, I’m linking up with Shay, Shaefer and Mel for What’s Up Wednesday!

What we're eating this week: 

We've been grilling almost every day and eating watermelon almost every day! I love summer food!

What I'm loving:

•  My cute little family! I took this picture on Father's Day

• Grapes that taste EXACTLY like cotton candy

 

• The fact that Kate has slept from 11 pm to 8:30 am for the past week! #bestbabyever I do not take for granted the luxury of sleeping without interruption, then exercising and getting ready for the day all before my infant wakes up. (I've never had a baby or a toddler sleep past 7 am, and 7 was always a really lucky day) And here's a mini photo dump of Kate: 

 
 

 
 
 

•  The fact that Kate puts up with her crazy brothers. David always holds her and says, "Mom, take my picture!" and "Kate, say cheeeeeeeeeeese!!!" And then he makes her smile like this. Poor, poor, baby. hahaha!

 

• This little Wonder Woman outfit for Kate that my friend sent to me. David was SO EXCITED about it and now Kate will be able to play superheroes with her brothers. I have the best friends in the world. I really do. 

What I'm reminiscing about:
I was going through pictures and found this picture I took the night before I had Kate! hahaha I'm so glad I'm not pregnant anymore!

And look at her now! Two months old last Tuesday. We love her :)
 
What I'm dreading:
Nothing! 
What we've been up to:
I love our location in Gilbert and there are a lot of places really close for quick time killing activities ;)
Last week we went to see Lego Batman at the summer dollar movies, we went the Disney Store event where we learned to draw Star Wars characters then looked at the puppies at the puppy store afterwards, and we swam at a friends house. Kate got in the water for the first time and loved it.

 




On Saturday, we stopped at Chic-fil-a for ice cream cones because I heard Spider-man was going to be there. I didn't tell Jack and David that he was going to be there (in case he didn't show up!) and their faces were priceless when Spider-man walked through the door. Jack thought it was just a guy dressed up in a costume but David was sure he was the real Spider-man :)
Funny story: David said he wanted to be Batman when he grows up and Jack said, "There already is a Batman but maybe you could be the Chic-fil-A Batman when you grow up!" hahaha

What I'm working on:
Unpacking. I swear it is going to take us a year to finally get everything unpacked and organized! haha It feels impossible to get anything done but the basics during the week with a newborn and two other demanding little kids. Saturdays are crazy and we always have a huge list of stuff we want to get done over the weekends but we never seem to get to it all.
I'm almost done decorating Kate's room and I just love her newborn pictures so much :)

What I'm excited about:
Living by a Walmart with grocery pickup! This is a game changer!!!

What I'm watching:

 Friends! I watch it while I nurse Kate. (I also watched it when I nursed Jack 5 years ago but I'm having fun watching it again :) I started when she was born and am already to season 7.
What I'm reading:
Nothing. I have failed in this area since Kate was born :)
What I've been listening to:
Trending playlists on Amazon Prime Music
What I'm wearing: 
None of my summer clothes fit me unfortunately and I refuse to buy anything in the size that I am currently so I alternate between two not-very-cute shorts and a couple of skirts. #dangitpostpartum
What I'm doing this weekend: 
More unpacking and organizing!
What I'm looking forward to next month:
Escaping the heat for a quick weekend in California!
Bonus Question: What's your favorite 4th of July tradition?
This is not your typical tradition, but my dad is the most patriotic man I know, and every 4th of July he sends us a goofy picture or video of him with the American flag. He thinks he's pretty funny (and he is!).
