If you want some randomness you are in the right place.
My kids slept in today- until 6:15. That is awesome!
So far I have brought home about twenty boxes and have only packed one. It has taken me a week to clean out the closet in the office. Maybe moving isn't going to be as easy as I think?
Hayley fell off the chair that she was jumping on and bonked her head. Hard. She has a goose egg that keeps growing and growing so we are letting her stay up late to watch Max and Ruby. Hmm. Disobey the rules. Jump on the furniture. Fall off and hit your head. Get rewarded for it?
This time next week I expect to be sitting out on the deck at my in-laws house in Canada- hopefully wearing a sweatshirt in the cool evening air. With a frost adult beverage. And fifty eight aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, and friends to help keep my children entertained. I cannot wait.
We haven't heard any news on the new house. Well, a little news- the seller's 2nd lienholder accepted the short sale. But that doesn't really help us because their first lienholder is Countrywide and apparently their reputation precedes them. It isn't good. I will not lie- I am not above resorting to bribery tokens of my appreciation (bundt cake?) to get things done. I just don't know where to send it- but if I find out, well I will drown them in bundt cake until they approve the seller's short sale.
Sam is eating people food. ohmywhendidshegrowup? She eats everything. I mean, everything. With Hayley we had to give her all the veggies first because once she had a taste of fruit it was game over. With Sam- just shovel it in. Any order will do, just keep the food coming. I love it.
Right now I'm hogging my husband's laptop. I don't think he appreciates my horning in on his nightly ritual of vegging on the computer in front of the tv. Especially since the tv is currently playing the second episode of Max and Ruby. In a row.
The baby blanket that I have been knitting is coming along nicely- I will post pictures of it once it is finished.
Oh yeah- and I ordered the cutest stinkin' bows from an Etsy shop- go check out Karina's Kreations. I got my order today and I love it, love it, love it. I ordered the headband with bow for my bald little Sam and she just looked so darn cute- she didn't even try to pull it off. Hayley wanted to wear one too- so I let her- and it fit her too. Which makes me very, very happy. It means that I can use it for one or both girls. It also means that Sam will be able to wear it longer than just the baby stage- and these days I am all about the multi-functional items. Go there. Buy something. She is so friendly, ships super fast, and the packaging was so darn cute- I will be ordering again very soon.
We don't have any plans for this weekend- except packing to move and packing to go on a ten day road trip. Which means we won't get any packing done this weekend for either and we will be scrambling both before our road trip and right before we move. Par for the course.
I need to quit rambling so I can turn over the computer to my husband and so that I can coax Hayley to head to bed before this episode of cartoons ends. Wish me luck.
Have a safe trip! You once again have my total admiration--all that way in a car with two little ones--scary!
