Then her outfit and boots to go with it. We had to go to speech therapy that day and I honestly considered pinning a sign on her back that said, "She's not my kid." I'm all for kids wearing what they want, heaven knows that Amy has had some doozies... but for the most part when we leave the house, I like us looking normal.
Only a few more weeks of Savannah though! Thank heavens. She's not bad and Amy has a constant playmate.... but I'm just tired of it. Tired of being on someone else's schedule. Tired of one more person wanting something all the time (yes, I think TWO kids is plenty for my sanity, not to mention Lee's). I'm mostly just tired. It's been a great reminder of why I don't like watching other people's kids. And I still can't believe I said yes to keeping her.
Interesting way that Amy fell asleep the other night.... Maybe the book was warmer than her blanket?? (Not that we need blankets around here. We've had the a/c off and on since FEBRUARY. How do you like THAT Mom??!!!!)
The girls always play so nicely with Will. He loves to be in the thick of it and they just give him toys and let him play along too. Right now his favorite toys are a little plastic zebra, a plastic horse and a car that has the Count (from Sesame St) driving it.
Proof, yet again, that Amy is my daughter. I made cupcakes for a girl at church. But since we are going out of town, I went the easy route with boxed cake and boxed frosting. (Note- I did use water and they are dry. I'm telling you- NEVER use water in a boxed cake!!! You'll love me for that piece of advise). Amy was licking out the frosting container and then she put it down on the a/c vent. I asked her what she was doing and she said, "I'm making it freezing. It's good that way." Ok... a) I love everything frozen and b) I used to put things on the air vent all the time- just to make them cold. Ahhh... it's nice to know I have a follower.
I gave Will one of the cupcakes and well, he liked it. I guess he won't have any problem digging into his first birthday cake! (in only TWO months!! Where has the time gone!!??!!??)
Glad your time in Miss is short and you deserve a real large GOLD star for being so adjusted during this trying time. It will all come out in the wash !!! Glad Amy and Savannah are so good to Will.
I know it's a grind watching someone elses kids but it has been good for Amy to have her around.
Have a great Easter and safe driving. Love to you all, Gram
When the end is in sight it always makes the present uglies bigger. You've done a marvelous job with making things go well there though. I agree about watching someone elses kids. I once did that for a neighbor. She and Mike were on the same schedule, but it was always the same having to be on their schedule and couldn't make changes at last minute like you might want. Looking at Will I don't think you should have had any doubt about him being shy about cupcakes. When you look at kids and know they selected their outfit don't you wonder where they even got the ideas in the first place. Have a good trip. Love always.
ReplyDeleteJust remember who has to pay the bills, you can turn the ac on in Dec for all I care, I don't have to pay your bill. I could put it on but I would rather save that money to have fun with my crazy kids. So it's Nov 1 for the heat and May 1 for the AC. Plan your trips accordingly people! LOL
ReplyDeleteSavannah's outfit makes Madona look bad!! I wonder what in the world the kids are thinking about when they pick out their own outfits. I'm surprised someone hasn't made a study of that!! Will sure loves to eat, I don't think he cares what it is as long as he can have some. What a cute little boy. He sure is growing up fast.
