Please forgive me all who come here to get updated...or just get a good laugh. Life kind of took me over the edge and I've been slowly working my way back up. You know things like Hottie out of town, sick kids, school activities, Hottie in school, grocery shopping, sick kids again, dance (the kids-not me), memory verses, science projects, calls to 911. You know just the regular stuff.
So, obviously a lot has happened since mid-January. Here's a brief update.
Hottie went out of town for 2 weeks. Yes, we survived, but just barely! The kids made "dad"vent calendars to count down Hottie's return. It worked without too many tears. And Hottie came home safe and sound. Just in time for Valentine's day. I'm so lucky!
Punka. She. Does. Not. Like. Homework. Need I say more?
Gigi discovered that she fit perfectly in the frying pan. She loves to open cabinets so much I actually went out and bought the little latches to go on the cabinets. Did I mention this is the 1st kid I've had to do this with? And she is quite upset about the whole ordeal, too.
This is what I get when I say, "Look at the camera. Say cheese. Please??!!" They don't hear me. They are too loud. They have a mind of their own. They don't care. Until they are adults and accuse me of not taking pictures of them. Whatever.
Hottie and Punka went on a date. She spent all day trying to decide what to wear, where they were going to go, what they were going to do. Oh, my! Hottie took her to "Mr. Nick's" downtown where they shared stuffed red snapper and then next door to get pralines. And they brought some home to me still warm. Yummy! Punka was so elated. Before she went to bed she asked where we (she and I) were going the next day. I think dates are important and pertinent. Especially if it's with someone as cute as Punka.
I just wanted a picture of Gigi. That's all. Nothing complicated. Or so I thought!
This is a photo of me and Mr. Potato Head. Goldilocks made him to resemble a much loved member of our family. I beat you can't guess who it is GUAPS! Here's one of his creator. So Proud.
One more thing about this "moment". Everyone was required (by a 4 yr. old) to kiss the Guaps Potato Head. And we did. Just to appeased the boy. We do things like that ...occasionally.
I found them "measuring" Gigi. Punka and Goldilocks wanted to see where she matched up with the skeleton in the book. Gigi was quite cooperative (surprisingly) and kept trying to lay down on the book after they were done with their experiment!
We went to Atlanta and the Georgia Aquarium one weekend. It was so much fun! Everyone was worn out by the end of the day, especially Guaps and Grams. And my camera battery died, so we couldn't take anymore pics while we were in Atlanta. Bummer.
While we were in Atlanta, Hottie and I slipped away to see the Bodies Exhibition. It was very interesting. We were there for about 3 hours and Hottie said he could have stayed another 3 hours. He was way into the whole thing. If you ever get a chance to go, it's a must see. Very amazing.
She's walking. That's all I have to say about that.
I think that is all for tonight. It's late and I've done my duty updating our "fans" if I dare call you such! Stay tuned. Tomorrow I promise to share with you Gigi's 1st Birthday pictures. It deserves a post all in itself. For now, I'm climbing into the bed before anyone wakes up. Wish me luck!
In the bed and over the edge.
Nighty Night. Sleepy Tight.
