Easter evening, the house is quiet... real quiet.. Toots and I left the kiddos with the cousins after a great day of food, family and fun. Big Sis was excited about it, Little Guy a little apprehensive but none the less wanted to know when we were leaving. So with all the quiet in the house, what are we doing... nothing and enjoying every second of it... Toots is thrilled knowing she won't be woke up at 7AM tomorrow morning but sad cause she misses the kiddos. Me I am glad I won't be the one making breakfast tomorrow or the one who will have kids busting into the office asking me if they can do this or that... I won't hear.. "Cause Mom said to ask you if it was alright"... Only to catch hell by Toots because I said yes...This vacation of sorts is short lived with a schedule return date of Wed of this week. Things may change and I may convince Toots to hop a flight to some exotic local.. I know, no flights... no exotic locals... . just regularly scheduled trips to the DR. and the closest I will get to an exotic location is the Malaysian sweetshop atmosphere Toots has going when she is in her sewing groove... Fully expect Kathy Lee Gifford to show up protesting.. image having an 8 month pregnant woman stuck in a room sewing all day... what's next sneakers.... actually more blankets are next.. with all the press she has gotten in the blog and the pictures strewn across the net, she has been getting request from many for blankets... All I can say is she is in her element...
Great day today... Little Guy gave us yet another rendition of the passion of Christ.. today's version starts after the Crucifixion, has Jesus laid in the tomb, the big rock rolled into place and his friends coming in a few day to see that he was gone.. He goes on to say that he went to heaven to be with his family for Easter.... only to come back to the tomb to meet the Easter bunny... Bible according to Little Guy...
35 days, RB pointed out today that time seems to be going fast... I seem to think it is going faster... A short 10 days ago, I started this little blog... to me it seems like yesterday... Well we can't slow it down, we can't stop it, we just have to brace for it... lots of folks ready to help out, lots of folks willing to help out and lots of folks able to say glad it is you two and not us...
Let me set the record straight, we are ready for Dot, we are ready for the changed she will bring, we are ready for our one step up two steps back look at life.... Seems 8 months ago, we were saying after a short visit with new born... glad it isn't us... Jump ahead 8 months and we are thrilled it is us...
Well after a long day of food, family and driving, I am calling it a night.... as soon as I figure out how to down load 600+ pictures...not the 500 or so I thought... Seems our photographer Big Sis, the official/unofficial picture taker at the previously mentioned walk a thon and decided that she had to capture every person,every footstep and several other indistinguishable items...
I think I will use the quiet tomorrow to get Toots to contribute to the blog... BTW: she is looking great if we could figure out how to hide the sausages she now has in place of her feet... They aren't just a little swollen, they looked like a fat girl in spandex today... the proverbial, 10 pounds of S**T in a size 6 sandal...
I will leave you with that graphic... Be Good, stay well and as always keep those cards and letters coming in...
