Day 39-43

Today marks 6 weeks as a party of 4! 🎉

We all had such a great weekend and Leighton had her first trip to the beach!!

Anyone who knows me knows I am not a fan of the beach 😆 but Kensie LOVES it and her best friend Henley was in town so we took the girls to play for a little bit in the morning before it got too hot for the littlest nugget. The weather was actually perfect and L enjoyed her nap in the breeze!

These cuties had the best time jumping in the (4” deep) water and getting sand into every single crevasse of their bodies 🙄

These photos look very sweet and peaceful but the chaos of 2 toddlers and an infant taking a trip to the beach is REAL. Ashley and I piled all 3 girls into one car and played a solid game of carseat tetris that resulted in having to put Leighton’s seat in by climbing through the trunk. LOL (don’t call DCF. I promise it was safer than it sounds and no, she didn’t ride in the trunk). 😂

As we were trying to get the “big” girls changed and ready to leave, a car pulled up next to us with a family and older teenagers. The sweet mom looks at us and goes “it gets easier” – which just explains how disasterous we must have seemed. Hahahah!

She was very sweet though and it did make me stop and take a breath and think about the fact that they will only be so little for so long. ❤️

Speaking of growing too quickly, it wouldn’t be a post without these girls’ signature photo: “I hold her! Take a picture!” -KB

And the days of forced snuggles will surely be short lived as well 😜

I know Leighton always looks miserable but I promise she smiles at KB as long as she’s not trying to hold her. HA!

Leighton appreciated her snuggles from Aunt Ashley and Uncle Will this weekend a little more than ones from K.

This was their last weekend in Florida as “residents” and while we had the best time and made some great memories, we are already missing having this whole crew together. 😔

Luckily, Kensie doesn’t understand it just yet – and she had such a fun weekend with a few of her sweet friends!

In between play dates, Kensie ran in circles around the house, made us put her tutu on way too many times, danced and asked me take photos of her.

The tutu and socks are her current obsession 🤦🏼‍♀️

“Mommy! Take my picture! Okay let me see it!” 😆

OH. And “painted” her nails.

I should probably take the markers out of her playroom 😜

Meanwhile, Leighton slept. Because her big sister exhausts us all.

I smile when I think about sleep too, kid. #napqueen

Today marks 6 weeks for me and L which means I’ve been officially cleared by the doctor! I’m working on getting into a new schedule so I can get back to the gym consistently and maybe not walk like a baby giraffe for 3 days after 50 squats. 🙈
