Mamas Helpers

     Every time I get an order for my Etsy shop, I have to ship it via USPS. To save time and money {aka gas}, I have started requesting package pickup since we don't have our own personal mailbox in front of our house. It's so convenient! The only negative is I can't schedule for it to picked up that same day. It always has to either be picked up the next day, or any weekday after. Today was one of those days where I needed to ship out a few orders and I hadn't scheduled package pickup. I usually dread going because I hate having to take Olivia out of the car for such a short trip and try and juggle sometimes multiple packages while keeping her at my side. Today wasn't one of those trips though because I had not only one kid with me, but two, and they were such good helpers. They carried the packages inside for me and were so happy to help!

Painting Ornaments and Making Muffins

   Connor had a fun weekend of trying new things, and I loved watching him have so much fun. On Saturday morning, we went to a friends house for an ornament painting party. Connor had never painted before {mostly because I don't want to deal with the mess}, and he loved it just like I expected! It took him a little while to figure out that the ornaments were not cookies and the red paint was not ketchup, but after repeatedly telling him it wasn't food and pulling it away from his mouth, he got the point.

 They really do look like cookies and ketchup...

Into Everything

    My sweet little Connor is always on the go. He hardly ever sits down and stays in one place for longer than a few minutes. Lately, he has been getting into everything. His newest thing is to take containers out of the cabinets.
