Hey what's going on here?? I still have a chest!

I'm off to start Harry Potter right after this...Hunter finished last night at about 11:30. I was asleep in bed and he busted in and said "I finished Mom!! IT was so good I couldn't put it down." Can't wait to go start, but I had to check in with all my gals today.

I felt like a domestic goddess today. :) I grocery shopped-filled up two carts. I'm not joking. Hunter had to push one and I pushed the other...and I only spent $168. I didn't have to buy any milk today that's why it was so "low" for 2 carts worth. Can you believe the price of milk these days? I can't. Neither can Scott. He went in a couple of days ago for a couple of gallons and paid $4.19 per gallon at Walmart. I usually buy milk at Costco for almost a dollar less. But, anyway...last night at dinner Hunter was guzzling the milk and Scott said after his 2nd glass..."Why don't you have some water now?" I giggled.

The house was FULL of kids today playing nerf guns, Wii, you name it we had it going on today. I started cooking dinner at about 3 pm and didn't stop until 6, when the missionaries showed up. I made that Chicken Ragu on my menu, and then I made these amaretto chocolate chip ice cream sandwich cookies for dessert. To die for good. Hope had a good old time with all the action going on. You know who helped the most with Hope? Hunter and his friend Ethan. Ethan is the baby and he is really cute with Hope. So, is Hunter but you know I think that already anyway. It's fun to see boys that age taking an interest in a baby. They will be good Daddies someday.

Yesterday Hannah and I went shopping at Justice for some school clothes. She is always bugging me to go into that store. But since it's "Justice-just for girls" the boys would rather die than set foot in there. Hunter one time said it was "humiliating!" to go in there. So, I took her while Scott was home for lunch. It's real close to my house. We had a fun little hour of shopping-just Hannah and I. That girl is so skinny! If the pants don't have the adjustable waist, we aren't buying them. I LOVE that adjustable waist band. We did some good clearance shopping and got some good deals. Good times.

I realized something else today...I'm still about 5-7 pounds heavier than before I had Hope, but I still have some boobs!! I'm not super flat yet. With all the other babies, all my weight plus some had been off by now, but so have my boobs. I'm kind of liking this new me. Maybe I'll just keep eating those amaretto chocolate chip cookies and enjoy life a little bit more and keep some boobs.

boob it up honey. my boobs - still very smallish, considering i weight about 20 pounds more than i did before no kid was born! so put that in your pipe and smoke it. heather - please don't humiliate hunter anymore. (that made me smile) and i'm sure hannah loved her shopping spree - that girl thrives on some one on one time!

I really enjoyed reading your blog tonight. I love hearing about the kids. Sounds like you had a very productive day. Keep smiling.

Honey keep the boobs (your hubby will thank you) I can't believe you only have 5lbs to hit pre-preggo weight. My kid is two and I still have 28lbs to go! I can't wait for fun mom/daughter shopping! Sounds like fun!

Jan said...

Busy day -- but fun it sounds like! And yay for still having boobs -- gotta love that right?

Hooray for starting Harry!! Once you get to the last 200 pages it is impossible to put down. I love that Scott asked Hunter to drink some water that is SO funny. I can't believe you got two carts for 168.00 you are a good little shopper!

Enjoy the boobs. I have decided smaller boobs are better. Clothes fit better. I hate my nursing boobs because I can't wear button down shirts. How do people with huge ones on a regular basis dress themselves???

Becca J said...

haha.. I love reading your blogs. You are so honest and know how to bring out your kids personalities, I feel like I know them!

Kristi said...

Congrats on your boobs, Heather! I love boobs and wish I had some as well. You really are a domestic goddess--what a good mom you are, for real! Can I be like you some day? I love shopping with just the girls sometimes, and the adjustable waistband is a must! Enjoy Harry P!

Maren said...

Yay for boobs! They're heavy (trust me) so that's where your 5-7 lbs is for sure. :) You're back to normal with a chest! bonus!
