I'm going to my happy place...


OK, so I was planning to blog yesterday about Justin's birthday party. BUT, I am still to exhausted to talk about it. I think that it was quite possibly the most obnoxious two hours of birthday I have ever experienced! Now, don't get me wrong. I love all of the little boys in his class. They are all so cute and for the most part, really good most of the time. But Monday afternoon was a different story. I decided to do the party right after school, thinking that it would convenient for parents and me. Who wants another evening or weekend activity right? I was mistaken. Apparently, right after school it the WRONG time to have a party. You see, after sitting in class all day, 11 little 8-year-olds want nothing to do with any organized activity of ANY kind!!!!! It was CHAOS! I was yelling so loud and they couldn't even hear me. We totally blew through the two activities I had planned, and chocolate cupcakes and Kool-Aid, well, I will let YOUR mind go there, cause I don't want to relive it. Not only was I totally irritated, but Justin was completely overwhelmed. I just felt so bad for him. So, it was a bust, and next year we will most definitely pick just a friend or two to help celebrate. Whew. Two down, one to go. Hopefully, Travis' friends won't give me such a run for my money!

Enough of that. So instead of posting the few pictures I actually took, I decided to hang up a few of my time with Miss Kendyl last week. All in all, we had a great week, with Wednesday being the only fussy day. But, that was easy to diagnose, she just needs her morning nap, and didn't get a good one in thus making the rest of the day kinda grumpy. I have days like that, so why can't she?!?!? Isn't this funny! She is totally becoming a drooly monster...thinkin' there is some teeth around the bend maybe? Her mother will be mortified that she is hangin' out in her onesie not looking all cute, but she needed some space after her diaper change! I truly have forgotten how much time you spend in a day moving an infant from one activity to another, feeding, changing etc.... and I have to admit, I don't miss it! Sometimes, Travis will disappear for a couple of hours upstairs playing...and then I have to go find him to make sure he is still alive! But, it was fun to cuddle on her for a few days, and sit in front of the fire and take a break while she ate. She is really getting more interactive, and loves to watch what is going on all around her. And, the best part is, she only had ONE totally nasty diaper! Lucky me!! She saved it all for her momma in the evening. Smart girl she is! I can't wait until she is up on all fours and crawling everywhere! That will be fun. So there is my happy place for today. Now onto something productive besides blogging. :)
