Friday Fun.

"What have we been up to this week?", you might ask. Well, to be quite honest, not a whole lot of much other than sleeping. I'll explain more about that later some time next week, but really this mom has been trying to catch up on some quality sleep time that she did not realize she was in such need of and lacking until now. I start working again next Friday and all of a sudden became terrified and realized that I needed to start taking care of myself. But more on that later. This is supposed to be Friday Fun randomness!

Yesterday I got Finnie some new toys. Now they are a little advance for him at this stage of the game but with a little help from mom we can have some fun and make them last a long time. We went to a local consignment shop down the road and got some good deals.

Here's the LeapFrog Learn & Groove Color Drum. 

It's great for cause & effect. 

You can find a similar one here. 

This is one of my favorite therapy toys for the little ones and have been wanting to get one for work. I guess I'll know what to do with it once Finnie outgrows it! It's the Fisher-Price Roll-a-Rounds Swirlin Surprise Gumballs Machine. You can find a similar one here. It's also great for cause & effect. 

Finn can actually play pretty easily with it now with just a little help. Lots of fun!

And I'm wanting to get something like this for Finn as well. He's so wiggly squiggly right now being that he's rolling around so much and gets frustrated cause I think he really wants to crawl. He's actually getting up on all fours at times. It's really crazy. Then he gets mad because he can't go anywhere. So anyway, I think something like this (as seen here) would be really nice to have to get some of his extra energy out right now. It's the Fisher-Price Rainforest Jumperoo.

And something else that's really fun is that Greenville is getting a Lululemon store!! We have our little showroom store right now that just has limited items, but in about a year we'll have a full fledged store. Yahoo! That and Anthropologie! If only we were to get a Nordstrom, however Lyle is sure thankful that we don't have one.

I'm really liking these carry & go pants...hmmm. Perfect for my mommy stay-at-home days.

I've also been eating a lot of ice cream this week. Guilty pleasure, but oh well! Our friends the Kruses made us dinner again the other night; a delicious red pepper sauce pasta dish paired with delicious homemade banana chocolate walnut ice cream. I have not been holding back. Happy tummy. And to top it off, Lyle brought home from the hospital today some coconut fudge ice cream. I had myself a little afternoon delight for the tummy...or two. Smile. 

That might be most of the Friday Fun for now. But let me tell you, my baby is happy happy because of all the sleep we are getting, and so is this mommy. I'm excited for more to come this weekend! Don't let me forget to tell you all about it (the sleep thing) next week (speaking of, he's appropriately waking up from his nap now...so I will go get him. Love that boy!).

Happy Friday ya'll!
