Girls weekend COVID-style

-
A trip I always look forward to each year is "Girls Weekend"!  This year we all talked about what the right decision to do was with this crazy Covid-19 and many of us had to make the choice that was the best for our families.  We missed our sweet Megan (T-bone) Greiser this year because having to jump on a plane and travel was not a smart choice.  It was hard not having her there...she is a hole that can not be filled! Hopefully, life will be back to normal next summer so she can join us then!
We returned to our wonder Bluff's Cove house in Fennville, MI...it feels like home when we are all there together!
First-night sunset on Lake Michigan.

Early morning exercising together...running and walking together to sweat and chat.

We spent the majority of the time at our house to stay safe but ventured out our favorite antiquing shops with our masks and hand sanitizer.

This year all three (kelly, Melissa, and Mariah) brought their inflatable paddle boards. The lake was very calm and we all took turns paddling around.

This year we had the most beach we have ever had at the house.  It was so great to just walk down the small stairs to get to the beach.  The weather was warm and we spent most of day down there listening to music and enjoying everyone's company.



Our favorite antique shop still has some bizarre and creepy statues for purchase.  However, for us they make great photo props!





Beach day...hooray! 





Evenings ended with a nice fire and beautiful sunset!







I think I have to get myself an inflatable paddle board because it is just so much fun!!!


Since our sweet T, (Megan) couldn't be there she sent a package to arrive at the house for all of us.  Last year Kelly grabbed each of us a cup and this year T created a vinyl sticker with each of our initials on it.  She is so thoughtful!

My role is to always bring either a foot mask or face mask for us to get our beauty on!  Oh how fun this was!


These girls are my support, my inspiration, my strength, and my laughter that helps me get through anything life throws at me.  So thankful for our friendship!

No more diapers

It is official…the Boone family is diaper free!  After six long years of buying, changing, and disposing of dirty diapers we are finally done with those!  It is kinda crazy to think we don't have to carry a huge diaper bag full of diapers, wipes, rash cream, and extra clothes in case of a blow out. Around December Nolan began to be interested in the idea of going potty on the potty.  He would come into the bathroom to watch everyone and when the boys were going he would press his diaper against the toilet to pretend.  The whole potty training process can be quite exhausting so for him and my best interest we decided to wait until summertime.  He was very quick start going on the potty.  I have to say, ugh how I hate the potty seat.  It is just the most disgusting thing ever!  I tried to get him to use the big potty with a seat insert but he was scared since it was so tall.   He looks like such a big boy on the potty seat!

Nolan's First Bath and a Visit from Grandma and Grandpa Boone

On day 10 the best thing happened...Nolan's umbilical cord fell off.  I tell you what when that happens I get so excited because it is stinkin gross and I am always worried I am going to hurt him.  We found it in his diaper during a diaper change and Carter shouted, "Mommy Nolan's vilical cord came off!" I cracked up!  He knew that when that happened he now gets to take a bath in his big boy bath tub.  We quickly got out the tub and filled it with water.  The boys each grabbed a washcloth and helped to clean Nolan.  Nolan cried at first but as soon as Carter and Landon started to help he was calm as a cucumber.  They loved to squeeze the water on his body and wash his tummy. I gave Nolan a bath a few days later by myself and he screamed the whole time at the top of his lungs.  From that day forward I am sure the boys have to help me give him bath to keep him calm. Last week Bob's dad Arlin and Barb stopped through on their way home ...

Potty Master and No Nap Magee

Changes are coming our way fast!  Having two in diapers is costly...believe me we have done it before and my wallet is still crying.  As we approach the birth of baby #3 getting Landon out of diapers became a top priority.  He was not really interested and almost kinda scared at first.  He could and would tell me as soon as he finished going potty in his diaper that he needed to be changed.  He was also waking up in the morning with a dry night time diaper.  This was a sign for me to start pushing him into big boy underpants.  I don't mess around with pull ups we just switch to underpants cold turkey and just carry quite a few change of clothes with us.  When he realized that he was wearing underpants just like Carter he was hooked.  It took about two weeks of hard core potty training but he is going on the potty like a champ.  Every time he goes on the potty we all celebrate and everyone gets a treat.  Carter is extremely excited a...
