Nothing much

I'm struggling to think of something to post about.  I refuse to spend the next couple of weeks writing about how much I wish I'd have the baby already.  That's getting old, even to me.  Our long weekend was mostly uneventful, John did yardwork and played handyman by fixing our guest room toilet.  I managed to tap into some nesting energy and cleaned the kitchen and family room, but pooped out before I got to the rest of the house.  We missed out on any Memorial Day BBQ action due to bad weather, but did have JP and Steph over (though, they brought the food) and watched movies and played Mario Kart. 


Today Alex and I were supposed to meet some friends for swimming, but I couldn't bring myself to go out in public in my ugly maternity swimming suit.  I took him to the dinosaur museum instead.  He met a little girl he thought was his cousin Lily (she didn't look like Lily at all other than she was a girl about the right age and didn't have much hair).  He kept taking her by the hand and showing her the different exhibts "Yeeyee, dis is a pitty shell" (Lily, this is a pretty shell) "Dis is a dinosaur YeeyeeRAWR!", "Dis is teef!  Dinosaur teefRAWR!"  It was unclear whether or not she appreciated or even wanted the guided tour.  She did seem confused as to why he kept calling her "Yeeyee" (he still can't say "L" sounds very well and substitutes a "Y" sound).  He is going to loose his mind when he finds out that the real "Yeeyee" is going to come to visit next month.


John started his new job today and I can't wait to hear how it went!  I'm sure it'll go fine.  Hopefully they're taking it easy on him today so he can get settled into his new office and meet some of his new coworkers.  I feel like I'm more excited about his job change than I normally would be.  Maybe it's because I really do miss being in the workforce so I'm kind of having a career vicariously through him.  Also, he's now in my world.  Doing what I used to do.  That makes me all the more interested in his job. 


Nothing much else to report.  Hopefully I can think of something interesting to write about soon!

  2. That is too cute! My little Grant is the only child and grandchild on both sides of our family. Oh how I wish he had some cousins to grow up with, but it doesnt look like there will be any anytime soon, unfortunately. We should get together when Jen comes out and take the kids somewhere fun, or even just the park and let them all play. Have a good day!
