Ok, so not everything, but I’m sure you’re not interested in the daily stuff, so here’s the latest excitement we’ve had.
I didn’t to much in January, mostly because one of my best friends had her baby at the beginning of the month, and I was only half done with her blanket. I crocheted until my hands cramped, and kept going, but I had the blanket ready for the baby’s blessing.
We got to go on another trip. My mom was working a lot, but we found ways to have fun. We spent a whole day with my grandparents. They had this awesome track the kids played with all day.
And it’s a rule, you have to make cookies when you visit Grandma’s house!
Rule number #2, you must visit the zoo. This monkey (yes, I realize he’s probably not technically a monkey, but a lemur or something, but I’m not in the mood to worry about it …) jumped to the ledge where S was sitting by the window and sat next to her for a while.
We visited my Great-grandma, too, so this is a pic of my kids with their Great-great-grandmother!
When we told the girls that C was flying on an airplane, they wanted to see the plane. But of course, we can’t exactly walk him to the gate, like in old days, so they were disappointed. Luckily, I have some hook-ups in that area, and we did get to take them out to see a plane.
Even J got into it, until he realized the seats looked an awful lot like car seats, and he’d spent too much time in the car lately.
From them on, he viewed the planes from the safety of his daddy’s arms!
My two little pilots in training!
They wanted to get in every plane there was, but it was getting cold and dark, so we had to settle for only two.
They thought it was pretty cool that they could walk on the wing!
Our trip was fun, but it seems we always miss people when we go down because we’re never there for very long. I did get to spend some more time with my new sis-in-law, and I like her more and more as I get to spend more time with her. My brother picked a good one! I got to take my kids to see my mom in her office and take her out to lunch. I remember my mom taking us to lunch with my grandma when I was little, so that was fun for me. And it was nice to play hooky from school and life and just have a few days of fun!
