We made it to Friday! And today the weather cooperated so the boys could get outside and get their wiggles out.
We live across the street from a middle school, which is where the high school girls soccer teams play. Tonight we walked around the track while the game was going on. I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time. I played soccer for half my life and when I watched those girls on the field I could almost taste the passion that goes on with this sport. I hope SOMEONE in my life plays soccer. I want to be a parent on the sideline. Or even just a friend of a parent--even if one of the boys friends plays I'll have an excuse to watch and cheer. It was no wonder I could eat anything I wanted in high school and college. 2 hours everyday of this really intense sport must have burned a bucket load. I don't think I could move my body in that way anymore.
Eli has somewhat of an unhealthy obsession with Super Mario Bros. Shouldn't he be in to balls, or cars or still thinking about trains? Not this kid. Today he received a package from his godmother that contained a bunch of "guys" from Super Mario Bros. He played with them all day and even more-he talked about them. We had to facetime Aunt Sarah to tell her thank you and I wonder what she thought of the conversation
they he had. When he is talking about Mario he doesn't really let anyone get a word in edgewise. He even had to stop and show a spectator at the soccer game the Yoshi he had in his pocket.
We've been having some changes with our daycare that forced Andy to stay home one day this week. This is what the house looked like when I came home:
Pajamas, shoes, blankets, a diet coke box and tons of
litle, tiny toys. I smiled hoping that they had a good day. But now to make up the work Andy will work part of the day tomorrow. I plan to bring the boys out for a donut and let Eli pick one from the bakery case. Even though I won't be able to eat it, I know it will be such a special outing for my boys and me.
Who watches Grey's Anatomy? When I run on the treadmill I watch old seasons and am catching up. I laughed out loud at the episode where they take the verbal boards. Anyone remember that?
I'm ready for the spring. Sunshine. Open windows. Open screen door. Grilling out. Sitting on the deck. Getting a little pink cheeks from the sunshine. I can feel it is on the way. Hugh is just getting used to wearing shoes. And eh most certainly doesn't understand that he can walk outside. Here
he is trying to be really brave getting out the door.
I'm hoping in 1-2 more months Hugh will stop trying to eat EVERY thing that isn't strongly attached to the ground.
Even this one enjoyed the sunshine....
Because I despise washing the bottles, I leave them until the counter looks like this:
Dread.
Random:
-Eli talks a lot.
-I'm glad my sister got her nachos this week
-Bailee snores loudly. I despise snoring. This is something I am very passionate about.
-Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with all that is going to happen in the next week. All I want is to hide in a dark closet until time slows down. I want to look at the calendar and realize that we have nothing planned for a whole month. That won't happen.
-Hughie furrows his brow all day long. There will be permanent lines there soon.
-I still like to tell Andy that I don't really have Celiac Disease. When I tell him I watch his face and hope he responds with "yeah I don't think you do either". But then I have nights like last night and I realize that it's probably true. I still struggle with it and hope that some day I will find acceptance for the cards I've been dealt. They aren't that bad.
-I blogged a lot this week. It wasn't that hard. I don't know why I go for a week at a time without speaking to you guys.
But it's the weekend. So here we go, a little donut shop, more Mario "guys", a birthday party, a glass of wine, a nap and? What are you up to this weekend?
