Weekend Recap

Thursday
I got of work and was happy because I didn't have to go back to work until Sunday night. Marlan picked me up and wasn't talking to me for whatever reason he made up in his head. I got a little sleep but had to be up for the most part with the kids while Marlan was at work and his little brother in school.
I had my CPR class that I had to do for my program I will be taking this month. they said it would be from 6pm - 10pm, but we got out around 8pm which was a good thing. I got to go home and spend some time with the kids and make a little something to eat. We went to bed pretty early today because Marlan had to work ... By the end of the night he was talking to me a little lol

Friday
I had to drop Marlan of at work so I could have the car because Malan had her 2 year old doctors appointment. I was pretty tired though still but it was cool. Everything went well at the doctors and Malan is growing and is healthy all over. Malan now weighs 31 pound 10 oz, 36 inches long, and her head circumference is 48cm. Malan also had to get her hemoglobin level checked which came back good. Malan was pretty mad because she was due to get a shot, she had her 2nd hep A and cried for like 2 seconds. After that she was fine. On the ride home she went to sleep in the car (I don't know what it is but her and the baby always go to sleep after getting their shots.
Today I also got some cleaning done, A LOT. I deep cleaned our whole apartment which took me all day. I would have finished a lot earlier but with two children who need constant attention it was pretty hard and I would take breaks because I had to do other things. I was happy by the end of the night because I knew I could relax all day tomorrow and not worry about cleaning up to much.

Saturday
Today seemed like it went by rather quickly. I hung out with Marlan and the kids. Marlan wanted to spend some time with me and watch "Hot Tub Time Machine" before he went out later on. As much as I talked sh*t about not wanting to watch the DVD because I have seen it so many times, I still did and I enjoyed it lol. Today I also sewed Malan a skirt, which turned out really good for my first attempt. With the rest of the material I will be making me a dress. All I really have to do is fit the dress to my size because I ended up buying the original dress from goodwill because I liked the print on the fabric and used the bottom part to make Malans skirt. Marlan said that's what me and her can wear when we all take family pictured for baby Marlans 6 months. That would be nice because its something I made. Also today baby Marlan pulled himself up using the couch, me and Marlan was so shocked and he was just standig there laughing. This little boy is growing up so quick and continues to amaze us everyday.

Sunday
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!! Today was a "normal" day, nothing special or different. Well I cant say nothing special because everyday I spend with my children is special :)
Marlan was sick (Self inflicted) which added to my emotional state I was already in and how mad I was at him. I spent time with Malan and baby Marlan and ended up finishing little Nates jacket (Marlans little brother). It turned out really nice but I had to change the studs because when I bleached it, like a fool I left studs on there and they changed color so I had to take them off and put new ones on. After I finished that I ended up laying down to sleep which was around 5pm and by the time I woke up it was almost 9pm (when I had to be getting up foo work).

Overall the weekend was nice. Filled with so many mixed emotions ...

Weekend Recap: A little creative

I made some chalk boards for Malan with an old bookshelf. It was pretty easy and she really likes it. I grabbed some inexpensive rust-oleum chalk board spray paint and also primer from walmart. I sprayed each board with one coat of the primer, then I sprayed the chalk board spray paint. It took around 10 minutes (if that) to dry, I wiped them of with a damp rag then gave Malan some chalk and let her play
The before, after, and the bow I made
I did my first "refashion" project with a dress I purchased from Goodwill, it turned out better than I expected for my first time. I hit a few bumps and made it harder than it actually was but in the end I loved the outcome. I will have to take a picture wearing it so you can see how it fits. Before it was really big, I took in both sides and also took in the sleeves so they would be fitted versus hanging of. I also added a cute little bow and threaded out the edges to make it look a little different

I edited Marlans brothers shirt by taking off the sleeves and threading out the material on each side and also the bottom of the collar. It looked nice once he had it on.

Me and Malan made some rice crispy white chocolate covered "cakes". We didn't make that many this time, it was just something nice to do to pass time

Malan and baby Marlan, I love the relationship they have already
I also got back in the gym this weekend which was nice after not going for a while due to mother nature not being so much on my side. I can't forget that I also ordered some shoes offline and let me tell you I was pleasantly surprised how fast they got there and also how cute they were.
All and all I had a nice weekend... Every weekend is nice when I'm spending it with the ones I love though :)

Please excuse the "not so good" pictures. I quickly took them on my tablet

Weekend Recap

My weekend begins on Thursday morning, seeing as that's when I get off work and wont return until Sunday night.

On Thursday I ended up going to the gym after work finally then to Walmart to grab some things for my upcoming project I'm planning on doing for Malan. I also grabbed a movie from the red box for me and Marlan to watch while we ate later that night. I must say that Twilight breaking dawn part 2 was a really good movie and defiantly worth watching. I've watched all of them now and I'm pretty sad that there will be no more coming out.
On Friday me and Malan went to Walmart yet again. Poor Malan was so tired she ended up falling asleep in the shopping cart and walking around I kept hearing people like "aww how cute" "she must be tired" "look at the little girl"


Yes I stopped to snap a picture of this cute moment, my baby girl sleeping while I was getting some shopping done.
I brought some things for the apt, but my favourite purchase of the day was my sewing machine. After searching long and hard trying to figure out what machine I wanted to get and which one would be a good price for a start up first time machine, I ended up going with the Brother CE8080PRW Project Runway


I was so excited to get this, I went to the self check out at Walmart (bad idea) I was there for over 20 minutes while they tried to assist me because the stupid machine wouldn't work, Malan woke up by this time and was acting very fussy because she was ready to be at home laying down instead of sitting in the uncomfortable trolley. Finally after what seemed like forever we got to go home.
Baby Marlan was sleep per usual, he's really been sleeping a lot recently. My co- worker said its normal because he is having a growth spurt. Me and Malan was also going to start her little project but it was getting dark outside and it was pretty cold so we thought to save it for Saturday seeing as Marlan said it would be warmer (very wrong)
On Saturday we was all hanging out, the baby played a lot with Malan, he's becoming a lot more aware of his surroundings and wants to follow you everywhere. He loves being with his dad Marlan. Anytime he comes in the room baby Marlan will look at him until he picks him up. He laughs a lot with Malan and keeps rolling over. Now we have to watch him when hes on the couch so he wont fall. I cleaned up a little with Malans help of course. Then I plugged up my sewing machine so I could see what it was made of. Watching videos on YouTube helped a lot with what to and not to do. I like my machine so far, and the different stitches it does are really cute.
We was expecting company, Malan ended up falling asleep while waiting and not long after that baby Marlan went to sleep and I followed. I didn't even know Marlan had came back from the gym I was so tired. My friend from work ended up having to cancel which was fine with me because I got to catch up on a little sleep and the kids would see her family tomorrow anyway seeing as it will be her sons birthday


Now leading me to Sunday, the day I pretty much dread because I know I will be returning to work later at night. Don't get me wrong, I do like my job, I just like sleep and spending time with my family a lot more.
Well I woke up around 8am with baby Marlan while Malan and Marlan stayed sleep. When baby Marlan got his bottle he ended up falling back to sleep anyways but I was up because I had to pump as well as I really wanted some pancakes and eggs so I made some. I got in the shower then woke the baby up to put him in the tub then later on Malan so they could be ready for the party at chuck e cheese that started at 11am. We still managed to be 1 hour late though. Malan had so much fun, she was running around playing, dancing, eating and making new friends. It was so nice seeing our daughter enjoy herself like she did. Baby Marlan was sleep for most of he time we were there with his dad. When he was awake he was just laughing and looking around like "where are we". After leaving the party we all came home and took a "nap". All of us was so tired.
All and all i enjoyed the weekend spending time with my family and watching my children enjoy themselves. Now I'm back at work sitting her eyes watering and steady yawning. I need to find something to do to keep me awake and occupied because I still have 8 hours left to go :(
