I smell a birthday a commin'

So I DO realize that I'm only averaging about one post a week these days. It's because the only time I can post is when Peyton is sleeping and frankly there are a lot of other things I can only do while my sweet one slumbers soooo, unfortunately my blog suffers. I'll try and step up my average to 2-3 times a week for my mothers sake, and mine as I do love to post...

Peyton and I went to Mommy group this week at Gretchen's. It was fun - I noticed that we segregated for awhile into two groups, Mom's with 6 month olds and Mom's with 1 year olds. Kind of funny how we are pretty much split by two ages (give or take a few weeks). Peyt went without a nap until 3:30 and then finally crashed to the tune of Ethan wailing in the back seat on the way home. I guess that's where they get the term "sleep like a baby" - when you're THAT tired you can sleep through anything!

Wednesday found me at the Dentist, where I had three cavities filled... can I get a collective gasp? Yes, after 33 years with ONE cavity in my entire mouth, pregnancy sprouted 5, count 'em, FIVE cavities!!! I had two filled last month so as not to break the bank and my jaw! She actually drilled one without numbing. I was tempted to ask if I got a discount based on bravery! Glad that's over with...

Friday night, Ian and Peyton and I headed to Toys 'R Us to do some big 1 year old toy shopping! (His party is on the 24th with our families.) The Toys 'R Us we went to was kind of disappointing in the age category we were shopping for so we went to the new Super Walmart by our house and picked up the rest of the goodies. We got him some pretty fun things I hope - he seemed interested in them when we picked them out and we based our selections on things that he's shown interest in at his cousin Eli's. I'm thinking his Aunt's, Uncles and Grandparents will probably get him some fun stuff too so it should be a fun birthday for him.
Yesterday found Ian, Peyton and I at the golf show. He tried to get a buddy to go with him but they all had other plans so I decided to call it a "date" and just go have fun. He treated me to a Starbucks on the way so I felt like it was a good decision! We signed up for a ton of drawings for golf vacations, all in pretty good little vacation spots, the best being Maui. Hello, please may we win THAT one? Stopped off at Ian's brother's house on the way home where Grandpa Bob happened to be visiting so Peyton got a fun little Grandpa treat.
