It's Tuesday already!

These last days have gone by so quickly!  Alexis is napping at the moment (boo~ it's almost 5 p.m.--can't let her sleep too much longer), and Justin is sitting next to me playing nintendogs on the Nintendo DS (hand held).  Poor kid is crushed--he can't read and donated away three of his dogs that we have had on the game forever! He thought he was putting them in the dog hotel for safekeeping...  And he doesn't have enough money to buy any more.  I told him to just play with the one he has and maybe we can earn money for more (this is all in the game, mind you). 

I've made 5 little outfits for Alexis for her birthday, and she is one happy little girl.  The last set I made were somewhat elaborate, and they bell out as she twirls.  Those seem to be her favorites now.  I worked on Sunday for  5 hours and the kids were watched by Brie and Aurora.  The house was standing when I got home, although dinner wasn't served 'til after 9 (Brie forgot to start dinner in playing outside with chalk), and baths and bedtime were after 10! The kids are bored and restless today as it's rainy and too wet to be outside.  Like puppies, they need to run off their energy, and today isn't a good day to do so.  We have colored, and built, and sewed, but that isn't as energy reducing as riding bikes, playing at the park, or swimming at the pool.  I think I will take Justin for a walk while Alexis snoozes.  It seems hard to believe we are taking them home already on Friday.  They have been a wonderful addition to the household and it's gonna be really quiet without them!  I have loved every minute!  Alexis was Grandpa Eric's girl today and gave him all sorts of hugs and loves, along with telling him "I NEED you Grampa Eric!" He just melts!

Brie's new flavor is now back from training in CA and she is enamored.  She took off with him to go back home with him now that we have put a new brake system on her car (to the tune of almost $700!)  She is doing fine, although she is experiencing the normal aches and twinges that come with the baby getting bigger and taking up more room inside that little bitty space...  Rib pain was last night, along with some ligament stretching a few weeks ago.  Skye is making her presence known.  Liisa is having a gathering on Saturday when we are up there for all of us, including an imprompteau baby shower for Brie and Skye.  Should be fun!  Essentially we have the graduation party on Friday night, a party at Liisa's on Saturday night, and then home on Sunday.  It's gonna be a long drive for a short time there, but well worth it. 

Ok, Justin is ready to go, so I guess it's time to go walking!
