Hello June! Where's my sunglasses?

Howdy folks!! So happy to see June! It's been CRAZY around here lately! The hubs was out of town for work for TWO WEEKS straight! The first week wasn't so bad. The second week my 3-yr old was really missing daddy. It was tough... needless to say, I had my hands full. I've never felt so much stress. Thank God for grandparents! Daddy could not come home soon enough! It was a very exciting Friday night at the Wright house!! Harrison wouldn't let daddy out of his sight... poor lil' guy.

Then we decided to take an "impromptu" trip to Chicago the following weekend. The boys were so good! Slept on the way up and slept on the way home! In between we visited IKEA (that was the part for mommy) then had a yummy dinner at Johnny Rockets. The hotel stay was fun! Harrison and Liam were running around the place like it was Disney World... well, ok maybe not Disney. They loved the long running space and the HUGE floor to ceiling window overseeing a big pond. The mirrored closet doors were another popular attraction! The little things...

The night was interesting... Even though we had a full size bed, a crib AND a king size bed... it ended up we ALL slept (I use the word "slept" loosely) in the king bed. We attempted to go to bed around 9:00 but at 11:00 we were still battling the boys to stop jumping on the bed. Finally... it was quiet. But mommy was still awake in her 12 inches of bed.  The next morning came too soon!  But we had an agenda! Lego Land bound! We got there before the doors opened! Got in pretty quick and saw all the sites. 'ALL' I say... a couple times. It was cool... but not a lot to see for the $$. The boys had fun though... and they were so good! (WHEW!)

THEN..... HARRISON STARTED "PRE-PRE SCHOOL"!!!! Say it isn't so!!! My baby is getting so big! (Yes, I know I said 'pre' twice. He's not old enough for the actual pre-school yet.) He was a little "stand-off-ish" at first but he let me leave without a battle. Then mommy and Liam were off for our long day without our CC (what Liam calls Harrison). My stomach was in knots all day, but Liam and I had a good and productive day. Then it was time to go get my baby! He was so happy to see us and likewise, of course! Teacher said he was "AWESOME"! Hear that!?! I have an awesome kid! LOL! ;) The second day wasn't so easy... he cried when I dropped him off and had to be peeled from my arms. A bit of my heart peeled with him... OMG that was hard! I did call after a bit and they said he was fine shortly after I left.... WHEW!  Thank you Miss Carrie and Miss Erin!!!! They seem to be very good with my little dude! (...as well as with a nervous mommy!)

So.... that's what's been up lately. Now that we have a bit of "normalcy" back... I don't feel so crazy. But May was kinda wild... and now OVER! I welcome June with open arms and sunglasses!! :)
