Charlotte sc/nc

South Carolina is nice this time of year.weather is rainy some days but we have some 70 degree sunny days too. Wed nov 18 Today we went to ikea and got our new couch / bed for the children to sleep on. And of course had to get a pack of their fresh cinnamon rolls. So now I have 2 couches in my living room till we go home on the wknd and leave the old one at home. My rv feels like a wreck with having moved some things to get it in. def need to pick up all the loose stuff laying around to travel Friday. We are going to ind for thanksgiving. They gave us the whole week off. Devins and us will travel home together in our motorhome. We have a 10 hr drive. Tyson was quite content today . he has been sleeping 5 to 7 hrs through at night and takes 1 3 to 4 hr nap during the day and catnaps the rest of the time. I have been trying to avoid dairy, specialy milk and he seems more content and less gassy. Though he wasn’t that fussy just seemed he could have been a little more content sometimes. He is def growning. He will be 2 months tomorrow . I just started him in 3 month sleepers and hes outgrowing sz 2 diapers. He really is starting to notice things around him and us walking around. He is now going to sleep by himself some times if we give him his paci. He loves to lay out on the couch undisturbed by his older siblings. They love to love on him but he would rather they give him his space and just talk to him instead from a distance. He takes his paci sometimes to go to sleep and when he goes down for his long stretches of sleep likes to make sure hes stocked up on milk to go to sleep. Thurs nov19 It rained last night off n on all night but the sun came out beautiful most of the day. It was warm out with long sleeves. Children played and explored down by the the creek bed. Throwing sticks in the shallow water and I was out with them while Tyson slept this am. This aft I got a few things cleaned up and took care of Tyson. Seemed I spent most of the day today sitting on the couch feeding him. By nap time I was so exhausted I laid down too with arianna and Tyson and poor derek just got a grilled cheese /lunchmeat sandwich before he left for work .tonight I got the laundry folded and meat fried for pizza for tomorrow and kids fed and taken care of but that’s about it. My day consisted pretty much of just taking care of my precious children. Friday nov20 the guys came back in good time ,by 8 am. They slept till noon while I picked up the rv and got things ready to travel home. Tyson again was eating a lot so I felt like I was moving at a snails pace. We left the campground around 1 and went to go park the truck and trailer and devins camper at a storage place just down the road. Paperwork took awhle but by mid afternoon we were finally on our way home to Indiana . we have next week off over thanksgiving. I still have a hard time feeling like thanksgiving so late. I love canadas thanksgiving in oct when crops are in etc. just seems more right. And then you have 2 months to get ready for Christmas. Seeing all the Christmas comercials and hearing Christmas music before thanksgiving just don’t feel right and if you wait till after thanksgiving its so short a time to enjoy all the Christmas music etc. I love the Christmas carols. In the youthgroup Christmas caroling was always a favourite of mine. We got home around 1 am . travelling went well. Parked our rv and went to sleep and sat we moved a few things into the house and got it warmed up. It was cold and rainy so when derek fired up the woodstove it felt pretty cozy. Coming into our house always feels overwhelming. All I see is the unfinished projects and the work of keeping up with such a big space. living in the rv is just so simple compared to a house.
