Grandma Highlights
Apr. 16th, 2007 04:49 pmMostly boring observations and memories I don't want to forget...
On Grandma's health( Read more... )
Evie's name ( Read more... )
visiting and spoiling grandmas ( Read more... )
Grandma got a kick out of the kids. And what do they call Grandma? hahaha! My kids call her (to her face), "Great Grandma in Oregon". so it goes something like,
"Great Grandma in Oregon, can I draw you a picture?" She laughed everytime they said that.
Kids and Grandma and Uncle George ( Read more... )
What we did ( Read more... )
We hit the road at 8 am Sunday morning and got home at 6:15 pm. What a long day. The monkeys did pretty good; the new window shades I put up in the back-window helped a lot. We pulled over a few times to stretch our legs, eat and use bathrooms. Strangely, I did the speed limit the whole way home.. hmmm.. I wonder why that is?
We're heading up to Coos Bay again in July for the family camping adventure. Honestly, I may pitch a tent and then pitch to the hubby that we get a room nearby. I don't want to be sleeping in a sand-trampled tent. And beaches are cold at night. brrrr! Two small kids in the chill ...hmmm.... nah. That doesn't sound like fun. But the tent makes a great place for naps and stashing stuff. We'll see.
The kids were wired after being in the car all day. Farin is so clue-ful. He hugged me and said, You poor thing, I'll make dinner happen and put the kids to bed tonight. So he did. Not only that, he took the kids with him to go slay dinner so that I could have some alone time. I had my first 30-minute period of complete solitude since Wednesday. wuh... I flopped down on the sofa and just vegged out.
I did make it to the gym last night. fitness: ( Read more... )
Miss Evie was still awake when I got home. The binkie (a nighttime must-have) was AWOL and we (she and I) looked for it downstairs and outside in my car. No love. This was 10 pm-ish. This bodes badly, so I tried to out-maneuver her and I invited her to take a bath with me; bubbles and candles, etc. It was the bath I'd been mentally planning all day except for the part where a 3 yr old is sitting in the bubbles nattering at me. She was confused at first, but got into it. Well, sort of. She still wanted to have a water fight with me. gah. No squirting water at mommy's face. Go ahead and attack my feet!!!! So it wasn't exactly relaxing and she didn't get lulled into winding down and being ready to sleep. But we did get the pancake syrup out of her hair from breakfast at McD's. And she smelled really good when we were done. I gave up and she slept with us.. well, with me. She spent the night pressed up against me; snoring in my face, kicking me and stealing my pillow. good thing she's so cute. hahaha! but I wouldn't trade those moments. She'll out grow the need for mommy-snuggles soon enough.
