- Let my not so small baby climb far to high - even for a not so small baby.
- Made oatmeal cookies - pretended they were for Jackson.
- Fell back asleep one morning - to wake and find my boy had taken a roll of paper towel, torn it to shreds and neatly put all of them into brad's small overnight bag - AND - let me know the reason why they make washable crayons.
- Again - just in case anyone missed it - I fell BACK asleep
Great things I got for Mothers Day
A fantastic husband to cook French toast with fresh berries, hundreds of kisses and cuddles from my little boy and a lazy day down the beach.
All in all I had an o.k week even with Brad away - having said that on some days I was SO bored. I knew there were things I COULD do - but the motivation to do any of them was long gone. So instead I complained a lot to myself about how boring it is to be home all day with a 17 month old who is obsessed with Elmo.
I have tried to beat the obsession, but it prevails and I give up. Last night we were comming home from a drive to a nearby New Hampshire town, and decided (well I didn't want leftovers again) so I said pizza sounds good. While at the pizza place Brad (aka Greatest Dad ever) WON Jackson his very first Elmo doll! From one of those machines where no one ever gets the stuffed toy - Brad won on the first try! Needless to say it was the best meal we'd had in a while as Jackson was pretty happy with his new toy. It also pleased everyone in the restaurant to see someone actually win.

Hi christal... how is your garden coming along? did you get your cool seaon plants in on time? Love, Pawpaw
Ahh the joys (and sometimes NOT) of stay-at-home parenting! Glad Brad is back home so you're not too bored! I don't recall the last time I used the word 'bored'!?
Its good to know I'm not the only one who falls back asleep! Most of the time Max reads but occasionally he wrecks havoc downstairs.
PS- How is baking oatmeal cookies a not so great thing? As long as you shared it sounds like a good thing to me! Tasty!
All sounds perfectly reasonable to me. You were nice and spoiled on Mother's Day, too. Yeah!!!
