- it has been so bitterly cold out lately and the girls and I don't like being stuck inside. On several occasions this week, we played in the garage. The girls loved riding their bikes around on the concrete floor. Our garage is detached and not well insulated, so it was still cold, but much better than outside. This has really motivated Jim and I to get our basement cleaned out and get the drywall hung so that the girls can have a place to pedal around.
- Jim was out of town on Wednesday and Thursday. The girls and I were at the photo shop the other night to pick up all of my print orders and we decided to stop at Price Chopper for their Wednesday night family meal. THANK YOU KARYN for reminding me of this wonderful deal. Feeds 4 people for $10. Can't beat that. The meal was so yummy and I didn't have to cook...bonus!
- As mentioned, Jim was out of town. Wednesday evening I was bathing the girls. I filled the water up pretty deep as they like to play in the tub so much. I was just tipping Sawyer back into the water to wet her hair when the power suddenly went off!! Freakin' freaked me out to say the least. It was pitch black, the girls were in deep tub water and I had no light and no way to get light. I was just about to drain the water in order to run downstairs to get a candle but the power came back on. Cool...right!....no, about an hour later the power went back off. Luckily I had the foresight to light candles just in case. Jim's coworker was stopping by to drop something off. He entertained the girls for a minute while I called the power company. Power was expected to stay out until 9:30 or so. I put the girls to bed early and then I went downstairs to read by candlelight. It finally got too chilly for me, so I headed upstairs to bed. Around 10 pm the power came back on. ONLY WHEN JIM IS OUT OF TOWN does this kind of stuff happen!!! He was out of town last winter when a nasty snow storm kept me stuck inside until Mike could plow me out. I should request that GE not send Jim out of town in the winter time!!
- We got a box of fruit from Jim's great aunt who lives in California. She must not have our new address, so it was delivered to the old house. Luckily the couple that bought our old house were kind enough to contact us. I stopped over to pick the fruit up and Lisa invited me in. It was so fun to see what they did to the house. I was there only a moment but I enjoyed seeing their changes. I am glad they are happy there. We were happy there also, but we just still can't believe that fate brought us to our current house, the one we desperately wanted 8 years ago when we first moved to NY. Funny how things just happen.
- I babysat for my friend's two kids the other night. My girls had so much fun having them over in the evening. The kids stayed until a little after 9pm. This is past the girls' bedtime of 7:30, but they did great. Needless to say, I put them to bed right after our friends left. I helped them brush their teeth and I changed Sawyer's diaper. We were in her room and she kept asking for her blanket. I left her in her room to help Sydney go potty and get her jammies back on. By the time I got back to Sawyer's room, I discovered her curled up on the floor with her quilt and she was sound asleep! So sweet. She was so exhausted from playing so hard with the kids. Here are a few photos of her sound asleep on her floor. I gently picked her up and tucked her in and she never woke up! Sleepy baby girl.
