Kincaidy Updates again...

• Brayden's got quite the imagination on him these days and I am loving the imaginative play! He's not one to sit and play by himself for very long and loves to be played with and entertained (wonder where he got the socialness from) but lately has been coming up with these cute elaborate stories or adventures all on his own.  Last night, it was pretending to watch the "movie" in the bathtub where he had his car bath tub stickers all lined up on the wall and he pretended a cup full of bubbles was popcorn, and another cup was for his drink (no prompting from me at all), and he is constantly running, kicking, hitting, or otherwise hiding from and attacking the imaginary monsters around our house. It's pretty darn hilarious. And his newest catch phrase is "to the rescue" which he says at the right and wrong times which makes it even funnier.
• Paytin's 13 lbs 5.5 ounces now and over her ear infection thankfully! She's still quite the nursling and wants to eat more than I probably should let her. She's moved up a size in diapers this week and is in her 3 month clothes and 3-6 month clothes easily. She is such a predictable baby and I love that I know exactly what makes her tick and therefore can keep her "pretty" happy most of the time. She's really into blowing bubbles right now and screeching when she gets really excited.
• Mike actually had a couple days off work this week which was so needed its not even funny. I can't believe how much and how hard its been working, or the toll its been taking on both of us. It's been so nice just seeing his face, just being able to sit on the couch next to him for more than five minutes, do things around the house and run errands with him. Today we are going on a "big" outing and leaving the kiddos at home with MeeMa and Auntie Katie while we trek down to Chico to see a movie with friends. I know they will have a blast and it will be good for us to have a good half a day to ourselves but it still seems weird to leave Paytin so long! 
• We're still deciding if a mini vacation is in the works or if we want to just hang out or what when Mike has a few days off later in the month. There's so much going on this month with pumpkin patches, the start of the toy drive, Halloween, youth group starting back up, family portraits, etc that I just dont know if we want to lay low those days and save the money or what. I guess we'll have to decide!
• I've been trying to tackle a couple craft projects lately which is challenging for me. For people that know me well, I'm very much a single tasker. You get too much going on at once and I just dont cope well, so with art projects, I used to just sit down in peace and quiet and devote as much time as I had to them, MUCH different after having kids, which is probably why I've had such a long hiatus in crafting. Now that I'm getting into it again (little by little) I'm realizing how LONG a simple project can take with little ones, especially when they dont nap at the same time consistently.
