A Lesson on Planning.... Don't Bother.

D: Just two more and then you can come home.
... two more coffees? Cuz I'm not sure I can deal with that.

D: What's that smell?
Me: I don't know.  Does Mama have stinky feet?
D: No.  I just smell me.

D: Will you give me two noses? 

(8/25) Work day for Dad & me, and Amanda had the kiddos.  C went armed with his scooter, Pokemon, and his bear today.  Kid knows how to stay busy!

(8/26) We had a very fun day today.  We took the ferry over to Whidbey to visit Kathy at the beach house.  The boys did great with listening and not going in too deep. Very different than years past when I had to keep my eyes glued to them.  It was very nice to just sit in the sun and watch them play.  Nanan took C home with her, and the littles crashed pretty early, leaving Dad and me with some quiet time.  Score!

(8/27) Work day for me, and Dad took the truck in to get the bed lined.  D apparently dusted the shop and returned filthy.  Should have asked for a discount. Nanan kept C another night, and I got home after the littles had gone to bed.  It was almost too quiet tonight!

Nanan? Can you cannonball me?

(8/28) Work day (from home) for me, and Dad had the kiddos.  Dad worked on some projects and then tested out the truck hauling the trailer.  Works like a charm! Can't wait to take it on vacation now! He traded Nanan the trailer for one 8 year old in the afternoon.  The twins were crazy whiny this evening, because they were up playing when I returned home from class at 6:30a... Naughties!  They won themselves an early bedtime when we could no longer deal with the dramatics.


(8/29) After not having run the distance in about two months, I got talked into running a 10k with the fam this morning.  It was slow, hilly, and my ipod was stuck on repeat... but I had the best time, and remembered why I like running. The mimosas, pancakes, and hot tub afterward helped a lot too.  We had a crazy windstorm today, and watched a huge tree come down while we were in the hot tub. Almost was enough to scare us back inside.  Almost.  Because of the storm, Nanan couldn't come down and watch the kiddos as planned for date night, so we scrambled and ended up getting Granddad and Grandma to come watch and spoil the kiddos for the evening.  Shew!


(8/30) Work day for Dad and lazy bum day for the rest of us.  I hauled the twinsies to the gym this morning and then came home and we did a whole lot of nothing. I did finally pry the boys away from Mickey long enough to do some afternoon bike riding, but yeah, that was the extent of our activity today.


(8/31) Sigh.  Home today.  I went to get the twins up and said "Good morning!"  D said it was not and promptly threw up.  Poor bubba.  We all snuggled on the couch and watched some Mickey. Hopefully we'll be back in the game tomorrow.
