What a WEEK?!? I mentioned Tuesday that the 2 year old was climbing out of his bed and we might move him to a big boy bed. Problem is I don't think he is ready. When do you know they are really ready?
He started climibing out regularly this weekend...and NEVER has stopped. And he is a PRO at it...like out of the bed and opening the door before I get back to the living room. He has always been my child who I lay down in his crib and he goes right to sleep. No rocking, no reading, no sippy cup nothing just lay down let me go to bed myself. My first child did NOT do this...they have been polar oposites for the most part. They are both super laid back but my youngest is my strong willed child that has given us a run for our money since he was about 18 months old.
Spankings don't seem to phase him. He is constantly pushing boundries and testing us. I always tell my husband it's his fault we are paying for his raising! haha I was the perfect child so it can't be becasue of me!
Anywho back to the crib climber. So after him doing it several times Sunday night and ending up in our bed. Which NEVER happens. He is 25 months and has not spent one night in our bed. We learned that lesson with the first and swore we would never make that mistake again. Needless to say we got NO sleep and getting him to sleep was TORTURE also.
So Monday we took the front off the crib to see how the "big boy" bed thing might work. Put him in his bed and he followed me right back out of the room. Screaming the ENTIRE way. Tried again several times and failed miserably EVERY time.
Tuesday I rocked him to sleep and he slept in our bed again 3 nights in a ROW. Not much sleeping had by hubby and I because this kid knows no boundries and is use to sleeping alone. Feet in my stomach, head or back and head on hubbys head, arm or back. NOT my idea of a good nights sleep by any means. Yesterday morning hubs say "WE HAVE GOT TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT I NEED MY SPACE AND MY SLEEP" he was pretty serious. haha
So last night we put the front back on the crib and though we would try it again. He climbed out once so I spanked him put him back. Second time hubby got him. Third time we took all bumber off thinking he was using them to help him. Fourth time hubby says I have got to see how he is doing this. So he hid in the closet. Sure enough he was swinging that leg over the front and letting himself down to the ground. LORD HELP US!
So next my husband said ok tie the bumber to the TOP of the front rail then maybe he won't be able to get out. He talked to him gave him some stuffed animals and told him not to get out. He cried a little but he stayed.....until about 6 this morning I hear a mommy mommy and a tap on my shoulder. This kid! lol
Anyone else had this problem. I know he is NOT ready for a toddler bed and I don't want to start it until its time and he is ready. We moved our first over to quickly and it back fired. We are trying to avoid this with number 2! Any advice is MORE than welcome!

HEYYY Tuesday 10 Time :)
It's Tuesday which can only mean one thing...I'm linking up with Sam at Airplane Rides and Guacamole Sides for :
{ONE} Friday it was 19 when I left for work...Saturday it was 65 & Sunday it was 70. Last night 20! Texas must be a woman! Only a woman changes her mind that much or maybe its mood swings!
{TWO} Started our contest/ giveaway yesterday and I am so excited about it. If you haven't seen it please check it out and if you don't qualify I bet you know someone who does!
{THREE} Took a trip to the grocery store with hubby and BOTH kids to do our BIG grocery shopping trip for the month...Yep worst idea EVER and I needed about 15 shots of hard liquor when it was all said and done. It didn't help that everyone and their mom decided to go at the same time as us!
{FOUR} My father in law told my son he is the boss of everyone and everything...he is 5 and my FIL should know you don't tell him that! Now every time I say no he says pawpaw said I'm the boss! Took his I pod away and he said well I'm the boss so you can't take it away I'm the boss. Yep I still have it :)
{FIVE} One thing on Lowe wedding Sunday...I now HATE the phrase "grown sexy" and to be honest i'd never heard it before but now I HATE it. With a passion and I think grown sexy was neither Grown nor sexy!
{SIX} Our two year old is now a PRO at climbing out of the crib....I guess our best option is taking the front off the crib! Ya tried that and he pretty much said HELL NO without saying the words. Where is the manual for this child?
{SEVEN} Sharleen on the bachelor is friggin WEIRD and pretty much avoided the kid question and says she didn't want kids but he still gave her a rose! REALLY JUAN PABLO REALLY?!?
{EIGHT} And WHY OH WHY is he keeping homegirl with dog lover as her occupation...I mean thats a dead give away for a CRAZY run the other way kinda girl. I am a dog lover don't get me wrong but that is NO occupation.
{NINE} I have decided I need to be a boss...why you might ask? Becasue bosses get to do whatever they want and still make the big bucks. I need to get paid for gettin manicures, running errands and going on fancy trips.
{TEN} I'm over complining non stop about the cooler weather & I am SO ready to start complaining about the heat! BRING IT ON SUMMER, FLIP FLOPS, LAKE AND MILLION DEGREE TEMPS!
I hope that you are enjoying these as much as I am! Have a fabulous Tuesday!

GIVE AWAY DETAILS!
Happy Monday Friends...Today is the big announcement of Shelby from Simply Shelby and I's big giveaway!
We wanted to do something a little different. Not just your every day give away! Over the holidays more than ever we have realized how very lucky we are to be able to see family and celebrate with them. We know not everyone is so lucky especially military spouses. Our military doesn't get recognized near enough for the amazing things they do for us daily here and over seas. Not only do they not get recognized enough but their spouses don't either.
Military spouses have to take care of everything at home while their husbands are deployed. Kids, bills, holidays, school activities, sports etc don't stop just because their husbands are deployed. Not to mention staying strong mentally and emotionally for those around them. I have had family in the military and I know watching them was hard I can't even imagine living it!
One of the most exciting times is the homecoming of their soilder. The wives and family often order signs, special outfits etc to make sure the day is extra special. We want to take one thing off of one military wifes plate and provide you with an outfit of your choice to wear at your husband or boyfriends homecoming from the one and only Kiki La'Rue!!!! Or maybe even just an outfit for a date with your soilder.
To enter the contest you must: First like the picture on Kiki La'Rue's instagram (will be posted this afternoon), then enter below and last send an email to heatherpayne44@yahoo.com explaining why you would like to win!
You can submit an entry for someone you know who is deserving or yourself {just be honest}. We don't want to just let the computer decide we want to hear your story!
It starts today and will go through 2/2/2014. Then we will start reading all the responses and decide on a winner!
If you have any questions comment below and we will be happy to help!

Woah February...
How in the world is next week the last week of January? This month has FLOWN by as usual. I guess I better start preparing for Valentines Day for the kids since it's in 3 weeks!
This is the time of the year as a coaches family that stinks the most. The time of the year that you stress the most and end up with a million zits, mouth ulcers and knots in your stomach or I do at least! It's time for contract renewals or non renewals, redistricting and always potentially the job hunt.
In February they will announce the new districts for everyone for the next two years. It determins alot and is usually the year that everyone changes jobs based on the new districts. Two years ago this was us when we left our previous school to come here. If you have had a good season it may not matter but if you have had a bad season you rear is always on the line.
People around town are constantly talking and I try to stay in hiding as much as possible. That way no one asks questions and I don't hear any of the things I don't want to hear. Don't get me wrong it's not always bad people do say good things too! It just makes me less stressed to stay in my own little coaches wife bubble, mind my business and take care of my family.
It's scary, stressful and the longest 4 months of my life every year. One of the coaches at our school has already made the move to go to another school as soon as this one will let him go! This year is especially hard because we are ready to buy a house and to do that we have to know where we are going to be. We hope to stay here or in this area because we love everything about it here. Is there drama? Well duh there is everywhere but here we are close to family and both like our jobs.
I love my husbands career and wouldn't trade it for any thing because he gets to do what he LOVES and we enjoy watching him! This time of year is just stressful but every year we survive & we will this year TOO!
Hope everyone has a GREAT Thursday! :)

Wednesday Wishlist Link Up!
Found a new link up I am going to try with Pampers and Pearls and Home Of Malones for
{ONE} I wish the FLU and all the mess that comes with it would LEAVE my house ASAP. I'm exhausted and over it. The END! Why do things like this exist?!?!
{TWO} Spring! Spring! Spring! I am so ready for the 70 degree weather we had a few days ago to STAY! Today its back to 50 I know it's not that cold but I am a Texas girl and I like my warmer weather.
{THREE} This monogrammed ring. I have been watching it for a while now and I think I'm about to pull the Valentines Day card on the hubby and buy it for myself from him for Valentines Day! Do any of you ever do this around holidays?
{FOUR} This sign for my house. I am forever blessed that God picked me to be the wife to my amazing hubby (even when I want to beat him) and mother to my amazing little boys!
{FIVE} My final wish is for EVERY one to have an amazing rest of the week. Our week has been nothing short of nuts thanks to the Flu and it can only go up from here!
Happy Hump Day Friends!
