Well this week has been busy as usual, but the days worth mentioning are probably Thursday and Friday. We are SO thankfully to have our friends Sara and Lily to make our days more fun and also keep me sane! :)
After spending one day this week home all day I remembered why I never do that! :) Thursday morning started out very frustrating between a very messy house and a diaper disaster. We thought Lorelei was squirmy on the changing table before, now she has taken it to a whole new level. Somehow I managed to get poop on my arm, Lorelei then proceeded to kick my arm with the poop and got it on her foot, then continued to kick my face with the poopy foot! Not a good start to the morning!
We were at a loss of what to do to get out on Thursday and then got invited to go along for a trip to the zoo with the Check girls! (Sara and Lily) The girls enjoyed seeing the animals and we moms enjoyed being out of the house and easy entertainment. The monkeys were probably the biggest hit. One fun story: Lily was not looking for a moment and I said "Look the monkey is coming to see you." and right then it comes right up to the glass where she looked (they are literally only separated by a little bit of glass, so face to face) and scared the crap out of her and she turned and ran to Sara. It would have made a great funniest home video! Then both girls took great naps that afternoon. Yay! This day reminded me of a Chinese proverb I read once while subbing "A misty morning does not signify a cloudy day."
Sorry, forgot my camera this trip!
Friday we had planned to go to a big consignment sale here. This is my first one for the fall season, and have two or three more to go to in the upcoming months. They are another great way to get clothes for cheap prices! Found some cute outfits here and then on the way out a lady was selling bows. Sara has made quite a few bows for Lorelei to wear and they look just as good as the ones this lady had. She got to talking to her and the lady is interested in any she wants to sell! Yay!
So then naturally we had to have lunch to celebrate this new business of hers. We went to Panera bread where they have a children's menu (very exciting Lorelei now gets to eat all of this) and the girls were both most thrilled with the yogurt that was in little tubes like the "gogurt" they sell at Walmart. Don't know why this was so fascinating but it thrilled them! Then also had to go to Michaels to get ribbon for the new venture. I was happy to get to shop with her (any excuse to shop). The girls enjoyed grabbing anything they could find off the racks...amazing how eating lunch and shopping can be so much more exhausting with those tiny little grabby hands, but we love them dearly anyway!
Was a great couple of days made so much better by having some friends to spend them with!
Low: well, the poop incident; the day we were home all day; waiting to get a plane ticket!
High: getting the plane tickets!!!; going to see Amanda and company in a week; doing stuff with friends
Quotes: Gotta give it to Brad, he keeps me cracking up. :)
We were shopping and I asked if we should get Lorelei some blueberries... he said "That sounds stainful." :) The other lady shopping cracked up with me!
He was giving Lorelei a bath and she decided to send the entire cup of water overboard and he said "Water water everywhere, except for in my underwear."
Hope they make you smile. Love the guy. :)
