We move in only 16 days, I can’t believe it!! It’s all coming to an end too quickly! I am sooooo excited to move but at the same time I am sad to leave and feel like there is so much to do. I’m coming to the sad realization that I won’t be able to fit in the trip to Palmyra that I was hoping to and wondering how much else I won’t get done! Last week we sorted through the basement and I am feeling much better about that so hopefully once I get a few more things done I will quit stressing!
This weekend we went up to Michigan and stayed with the Leary’s and had a great time! We left on Friday and came back today after lunch, we took Sophie Debaltzo with us so she could play with her cousins too. The trip was sparked by the fact that Tom bought tickets to a Ben Gibbard concert that was in Detroit on Saturday night. When we were trying to think of baby sitting options for the kids we realized what a perfect chance this was to see everyone in the area and it worked out perfectly. Paige was great to let us stay there even though Kate just had her appendix out and they watched the kids for us. Hayden was so excited to go that he didn’t even want to go to preschool on Friday because he just wanted to leave! He seemed to enjoy himself and really loved doing a lemonade stand with “Sophie and those two other girls!” Pete was great to play games with him and keep him happy. What a lucky kid! Danica had all the attention she could want and unfortunately didn’t let the kids play with her as much they would have liked but she did fine, that’s just how she is! We had a great time and I wish we had done it sooner! The concert was great, Ben’s music is really good and he did a fun show. We ended up standing from about 6pm-11pm and our legs were really tired but it was worth it!
In other news, we went to an Indians game last week and had a great time. The kids did well, seemed to actually enjoy it and the Indians won! We want to go again on the Saturday night before graduation, what do you think K&B and D&A? Also, D&A, what is your flight itinerary again? Do you have any specific things you want to make sure you do while you are here? People you want to see? My friend has offered to babysit if we want a kid free dinner or lunch or something.
Hmmm....let’s see, I should add some updates on the kids since they grow so fast and do so many funny things. Danica is so good with her hands it’s getting dangerous! She has mastered opening zip lock bags (something Hayden just barely learned which was great because he couldn’t get into the snacks unless I helped him!), she climbs up in her highchair and does the buckle herself (which is actually useful), but the most dangerous is that tonight she finally unlocked the back door all by herself. She pushed the kitchen stool over to the door and turned the dead bolt until she got it open, she got off the stool, moved it out the way and opened the door!! I was shocked! She’s been trying for the last week but I figured she wouldn’t ever actually get it. I thought maybe I hadn’t completely locked the door so I relocked it she had it done again really quickly! Yikes! The door doesn’t go the outside but it leads to the steep, yucky stairs to the basement! For now, I will obviously just keep the stool up and out of her reach!! Good thing she is really short!
Hayden says funny things so often I can’t even remember them now. I know we were laughing at him a lot this weekend but I can’t remember why... I”m getting too tired... I’ll try to remember and post them tomorrow.
Good night!
