Five on Friday

 

Happy Friday!

one.

My sister took 3/6 of my kids for a couple nights and Mike and I joked that we feel like we are on vacation. He even told his friend at work who has 1 kid that he was excited to come home yesterday and how easy it would be with only 3 kids, and he looked at Mike like he was crazy. LOL! I keep saying that we have our "British crew" at home with us....Kensington, Smith and Archie. Although I don't think Archie is a British name per say but there is a Prince Archie, so it just fits...even if they live in the US. Okay, never mind, you know what I'm saying. HA! I'm sure Kamryn, Logan and Tenley are having a blast. Thank you, Auntie, for taking them!! She certainly upped the chaos at her house while my house is really chill with my 3 go with the flow kids.

two.

Our sweet Archie is 7 months old!!

I know I always call him "sweet Archie" but there's really no other way to describe him. Archie is so sweet and cuddly. He really is my sweet sweet boy. He is officially saying "Dada", "Baba" and "Mama". More like dadadadada, babababababa, and when he's upset we get muuuuumaaaaa. But hey, it counts! Archie is starting to army crawl to get where he wants, and the kids are SO excited about this! Mike and I agree 6 months to 18 months are probably our favorite months with a baby/toddler. They just learn and do so much in that year and it's a lot of fun! We are in it and loving it! Time to soak this up because every first of Archie's is our last. It's bittersweet for sure.

three.

I don't know about you but I'm a vest girl. I cannot stand running errands in a big bulky jacket, so I love a good vest. I've got so many puffer vests, so I wanted to change it up a little bit. I recently bought this fleece vest on amazon, and I really like it. I can wear it with jeans and leggings so very versatile. I liked the Free People dupe on amazon, but it felt bulky and too oversized to me, so I went with this one instead and am definitely pleased. I think this will be perfect to transition into the warmer months. I find myself grabbing for it again and again. I got the color "dark green" but comes in a bunch of colors. I went with my true size medium, and it fits perfectly. 

four.

Four just may be my favorite one of all! I know I mentioned this but.... Last week my sister-in-law Coley gave birth to the most perfect baby boy. Hudson Zachary McCaul. 

Archie and Hudson are almost exactly 7 months apart and whether they like it or not we are forcing them to be the best of friends! I cannot wait to watch these little boys grow up together.

five.

 

We had friends over this weekend, and they asked me "When are you going to get your social media going?" You guys, I'm petrified. Just when I think I'll muster up the courage to set up that camera and do a day in the life or a try on, I chicken out. I have new recipes we tried that I can't wait share, new clothes for try ons, just our everyday routines I could film, because I'm always asked, "How do you do it?" But man, am I having a hard time just going for it. It takes a lot to take that step and just post it. I'm sure as you grow it doesn't feel as scary but with only 357 followers on Instagram, I can't help but feel silly. I could really go deeply into this, as to why, but as per usual my biggest downfall is caring what everyone else thinks. Ahhh..... the cycle continues. I'll get there, eventually, I hope. If not...it is fun chatting with the OG's here. :)

I hope you all have a great weekend! Looks like the temps are on the upswing for those of you who are local. At the Sass house we are very excited about that, although not getting our hopes up! The groundhog did say 6 more weeks of winter. 

Until next time...
