Friday evening we had a bird & rabbit both hanging around our yard much more & longer than usual. Not sure why, but they sure tormented our poor cat. She had this look on her face that said, “I could totally get them. Just let me out!”
Saturday morning our son woke up early & went downstairs where the downstairs gate was left unlocked. There he raided the fridge finding almost an entire pie, some Italian spices & his sippy cup of milk. He retrieved a fork & sat down at the table with his milk, fork, pie & spices. After dumping the entire container of spices onto & then mixing it with the pie, he started to eat. As Daddy came down, he greeted him by saying, “Happy birthday Daddy. Surprise! I got cake!” Daddy’s first thought of course was, “Oh no…” Surprisingly our son did not create a mess on the table or floor other than destroying the pie (which is more funny than not). Later I asked my son about his ‘cake’. “I didn’t like it,” he said. “Did you mix stuff in it?” I asked. “Yeah,” he responded, “I didn’t like it.” “Well next time Mommy will make it for you & it’ll taste better,” I told him. “Okay Mommy.”
Later that morning we didn’t have much success finding any gender neutral summer clothing for infants at garage sales but I hit pay dirt at the local Salvation Army later. After washing & hanging it all in the baby’s closet, I think we’re ready at least for the first month until the local school clothing sales. Then we can prepare for the remainder of the fall & winter with more gender appropriate clothing. In the meantime, my hubby is persistent about wanting to open the envelope so we’ll know the baby’s gender before baby is born. I really want that surprise though & as much as he bugs me about it, he also respects my decision. He’s wonderful like that.
Then we dropped by the new model homes across from our subdivision. Although they were nice, both had major pros & cons to it & neither really hit us. If anything, it reconfirmed the fact that we love the home that we chose & that it suits us well.
In the afternoon, we started to work on getting the baby’s room ready. Unfortunately some tasks were delayed when my hubby discovered the parts of the crib had broken, important screws were missing & the drill charger was missing. So we packed up everything from the entertainment center & made room in other closets for those said items. I washed & hung the baby clothes, washcloths & blankets.
When my parent’s arrived from my niece’s birthday party, we all had dinner together & then they helped us move the heavy furniture out of the baby’s room & into the basement. With only two months until the baby arrives, we don’t want to wait until last minute because baby’s can always arrive early. If not, then you’re too busy & tired to do them once the baby arrives. Good news is that we’ve started making progress which is definitely helpful. At the end of the evening, my hubby & I relaxed by watching a movie in bed & then hitting the sack. Unfortunately neither of us slept well; partly because I kept having waking him up during my dreams.
Sunday my hubby let me sleep in while he played his online game (for the first time in a long time) & even my son enjoyed watching the animals in the game. Later during my son’s nap, mommy napped again while Daddy mowed the lawn. Mommy’s very tired these days with the pregnancy. :-O
After our naps, we spent the afternoon at the local water park where I overheard two young boys talking. One boys exact words were, “If someone were to blackmail me, it would be very hard to know who was doing it.” I couldn’t believe these two boys were discussing the topic of blackmail around the age of ten! So glad I didn’t know about that then. Our son wasn’t shy about the slide at all & loved going on it over & over. Then during one of the breaks, we discovered a hidden children’s area that had fountains popping up everywhere & was built like a car wash. There our son made some friends & chased some girls around. Then it was back to the water slide in the general kids’ area. Afterwards we went grocery shopping, dropped off our groceries & then had take-out at Outback where we encountered really poor service. It was surprising because they’re generally very good; at least our food was warm.
