Spring Bucket List

Well, we made it back in town from the funeral late last night, and I have to say that we are rocking this two kid. We dressed them both for bed before we left Lexington, and only one major meltdown, we made it back to Bowling Green with TWO sleeping kiddos!!

They were both up early this morning, so I got up with them and went back to sleep once Eric woke up. Needless to say that we didn't make it to church, but everyone truly needed the rest after the physically and emotionally exhausting week.

Anyway, it's a beautiful day here, and spring is FINALLY in the air. This brought the revelation that I have yet to make a Spring Bucket list. Seeing as we have a five week old, I think this year's list may be a bit shorter than normal, but I'm learning to let some things go. As for defining spring, we celebrate here at the Watson home starting on March 17th, and we consider the season over on Memorial Day. So, what is on the agenda?

1. Saint Patrick's Day Fun (check)

2. Easter Celebrations (check)

3. Planting The Garden

4. WKU Spring Football Game

5. Meeting Alex and James in Owenboro

6. Eli's New Swing Set

7. Sprucing Up The Patio

8. Updating The Spring Porch

9. Planning Amy's Bridal Shower

10. Playing At The Park

11. Feeding The Ducks

12. Going to Hot Rod's Game

13. Watching Baseball

14. Celebrate Earth Day

15. Celebrate Mother's Day

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone! I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal! Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three! Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work. Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later. Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week. Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt

Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Have I ever told you that Eli loves sports? Ha! I look back at him with baseballs and basketballs at 18 months old ,and it blows my mind that he's still so interested. The thing is, he doesn't discriminate. Baseball, basketball, football, soccer...you name it, we play it! Not only do we play sports all day, we also have to watch certain videos on Youtube. We watch "Boys of Fall," while wearing a football helmet. We watch Alabama's "Cheap Seats," John Fogerty's"Centerfield," and Kenny Rogers, "The Greatest" while holding a bat, carrying a ball, and wearing a batting helmet. And now, thanks to Space Jam, we have to listen to the movie sound track while shooting hoops! That's a blast from the past! He hasn't found a song about soccer or golf...YET! And with all that playing, who has time to run inside for a potty break? Not this boy! I never thought

Running Through The Sprinkler

Playing in the sprinkler was on our summer bucket list. To me it seems weird just checking if off and moving on to the next activity because when I was younger, we ran through a sprinkler pretty much every day. Putting it under the trampoline and letting it keep all the "jumpers" cool, was a favorite pastime. I cringe now. What the heck were we doing with eight kids on a net-free trampoline anyway? Ha! Back to the present…Eric treated the pool yesterday, so we couldn't swim which made it the perfect night to drag out the water hose and sprinkler. Neither child loved it at first, so we turned down the pressure. They slowly but surely warmed up to it. Bless her little heart, Ellie stood right in the middle and took a direct hit. She would make the worst face you've ever seen then cry ridiculsouly if you tried to move her. Eli ran straight though the middle with his eyes closed. Thank goodness our yard is basically an o
