Slipping Slide
I can't believe it has been so long since I updated this. I can't even blame it on the fact that my computer was down for a week because I usually update at work. Just lazy I guess.
So we are finally moved in!! Hooray! Well, mostly anyway. I should say we are finally out of our old house! But this unpacking thing is a LOOOOONG process! I just wish I had Genie powers and can cross my arms and blink and poof, everything would be done. At least the kids are adjusting well. My little guy hasn't asked to go back to the old house in a little bit and the little one is still recovering from being sick last week (of course this was the one week my au pair was on vacation) and just enjoying discovering his new house. Amazing how he learned right away where the snacks are kept though!
This weekend was bloody HOT. We dug out the slip and slide that I got on clearance last summer and after many unsuccessful attempts, we finally set it up on our graded front lawn. Holy Cow can a 4 year old fly on a wet downhill mat. He thinks this is the greatest invention of all time and at 6:00 this morning was ready to go out and start all over again. It's pretty cute that anytime someone walks by he shouts out to them in the street that they need to see this - that it is the coolest thing EVER. He even asked the postal worker if he wanted to give it a try. I'm sure he was tempted too. Heck, even I am tempted although I can only imagine how embarrassing that might be. At what level of HOT HOT HOT does discomfort weigh in over embarrassment?
The air conditioning is out at work. It is so miserably uncomfortable in here that if I had the slip and slide I would set it right up in the hall way outside my office. How cool would THAT be (literally). I bet we would have more than a couple of takers too. There is no reason we should all still be here.
It is great that we moved so close to some really good friends. I was in a bind for child care on Friday and she watched my kids for me. On Saturday she had a wedding and we took her kids. We tried to do a sleepover, but that didn't work out too well. First the little guy refused to go to bed. We finally turned out the lights and went into our room and let him stand and sulk in the hallway. Eventually he went to sleep. Then the girl, my son's age, started crying that she missed her mommy. I called mommy and they came to get the kids at around 11. Of course by then they were both asleep, but I wasn't taking any chances. Good thing too because my early riser came in at 4:36 and tried to tell me that it was 6:00am and therefore time for breakfast!! Um, no, I don't think so! Anyway, my point here, is that it is great to have some good friends living so close. I always wanted friends like that - that we could share kids with! It is such a comfort. Now if I can only get my landscaper to call us back - we are starting to lose the kids in the backyard!
