It was arranged for Mimi to take Diedrich to her house after school on Thursday but it slipped everyone's mind with all the excitement of the rodeo! So after the zoo on Friday, Mimi took him home. It was a real blessing all around since Diedrich wasn't eating much with all the stress of new people in the house. Marlow is back to her normal self and not living in the "safe car".
Kevin is home but has some camera to do's. he blessed us by playing with us out on the swing set all morning! Then he went to work getting things all ready for Monday shoot. We almost missed a very important package while at the zoo yesterday but by the grace of God they redelivered it for no reason!!! It even said on the website that it was delivered and no one was home. Then as Kevin was figuring out how to intercept it, they knocked on the door literally as we walked in the door and said something about a wrong address.
Praise God: Kevin was able to test the under water rig over the weekend!!
Ryan did a half day as well but was home in time for fun too :) Amy went to the store to restock the food supply after our clan did some damage. They are making us feel so at home even though it must be tough having 5 extra people in the house!! Thank you Ryan and Amy! We know we are loud and messy and eat a ton!! I was just thinking to myself a month ago how we now go through 2-3 gallons of milk and 2-3 cartons of eggs per week! I keep having to go back to the store mid week because I'm in deniel. Surely one carton is enough? Who needs three gallons of milk?
In our defense, Aowyn is drinking formula that I make from milk so one of the gallons is hers. (Ok maybe only a half gallon but I will blame it on the little one). And we haven't even made ice cream in a while! But I digress. Needless to say we have cut back on our milk and egg consumption while here and enjoyed different treats like yogurt and berries. Yum! But momma is making up for the fat by eating leftover Chinese food at 10:30 in the morning haha. The zoo made me soo hungry today! And I am taking a much needed rest.
Praise God: I was able to walk the whole zoo without any pelvic problems!!
But today I'm paying for it :)
Aowyn decided she didn't want a nap today and woke up after only 30 min in bed. I put some toys in her pack n play and went back to sleep but not for very long. Thankfully daddy was here to help today with bed time because I was useless!
Saturday means grill out! And boy did they treat us. Lamb! Kevin's favorite! (Pics to come soon!) It was so delicious!!
There was a little thunderstorm tonight and I made the mistake of warning the children about it before bed. You know, casually mentioning if they hear some thunder outside, not to worry because it was just outside and they were safe in their rooms. Well that added about an hour onto bedtime trying to calm their imaginations!! They were afraid something was going to open the door - huh? I said thunder! Not creepy people outside!! Oh boy. After all was said and done,
I said "ok, I'm going to bed, no more talking or questi ---"
Drakeford in a whisper "mom"
Mom "I said no more!"
Drakeford "I was just going to say goodnight"
Mom "oh"
Drakeford "I will say 'mom' then you say 'what' then I will say 'goodnight'"
Mom "......k"
They were fine. And there wasn't even a real thunder storm after all that!! Good night cuties :)
