Food party at my house. The 10lb bag of potatoes that we need to give most of away, the mountain of squash I got from the farmers market for 5 bucks (he filled the entire bottom of Penny’s stroller) and plums for days from my grandparents backyard. We have a lot of cooking to do. Bad timing for my morning sickness to be making an appearance again. Thanks for your responses on my last post, I think because the girl I watch is physically bigger than Penny and talks in full sentences already, I think she is at the same mental capacity. Not so much. I tried having her point at colors but that led to a giggle fest and pointing at every single color then skipping away. I’m just going to leave the learning to her parents. Also interesting to learn the ladies can’t be colorblind, thanks for that tidbit Pearl!

Don’t most kids know their colors? The girl I babysit turned 2 last month and every time I ask her what color something is, she gets it wrong. I mean she knows colors, she says them, but she cant correctly name them. She called a blue card red and a yellow card pink. If i correct her, like tell her ‘this is blue, not red’ she then calls everything blue. I can’t figure out if she’s behind or color blind, or if most kids don’t do that yet. I know all kids are different but man it’s frustrating trying to teach her stuff.

they make my heart real big. I should be sleeping or doing something productive, but these stinkers of mine are adorable when they’re sitting still and quiet. today I’ve finished up researching from watching them sleep, and I’ve learned Penny drools more than the husband + the dog combined. I’m impressed.

our saturday.

we woke up at 10:15. the farmer’s market closes at 11. I made the adult decision that I should get us dressed and just do it. don’t make excuses and lay in bed all day. luckily I did, a lovely man let me fill up the bottom of Penny’s stroller with squash for 5 bucks. she also kept calling the farmer’s market ‘the big party’ so obviously she enjoyed getting out. then we hauled our booties up to Bruce’s work to eat lunch. I finally tried the local coffee shop attached next to his restaurant to find they have the best chai in town (they are local & aren’t assholes! this has been an ongoing search of mine for awhile). then, while not pictured, we went to an estate sale where Penny found the ugliest pillow of all time and then went to the park to play in the splash pad.

this was a big accomplishment for me since I am a person who generally dislikes leaving my home. I took a chance, I’ve been trying to keep myself out of this pregnancy induced hormonal funk, and it actually paid off with a wonderful day. kate wins!

Bruce and I have been together 6 years

And we just now found a spooning/cuddling position that is comfortable.

Oh, and it was totally worth the wait. I basically never want to get out of bed again.

Oh I am so game.

I’m reblogging this again during the day. A) I am also game. B) I am absent but feel free to leave me messages anyway

Let’s do this while I do other things. I’ve been so bored lately.

I could use entertaining

Things are good lately. A sense of calm has been hanging around despite how crazy things have been (although I might of cried at Mayfest on Sunday when penny was trying to escape her stroller and I spilled my cherry limeade). We saw my midwife yesterday and her new, beautiful birth center. I still want a home birth but the tub they had in one of the two birthing rooms looked so relaxing, maybe I can fake labor just to spend time in it. We got to hear the heartbeat and be reassured everyone is healthy and wonderful. I think the best part of the day was eating out with my family and enjoying food. My appetite has finally returned and I am embracing it. I missed food. My energy and drive to do things is also creeping back in. I’m off to buy some fencing for my garden so the rabbits don’t eat it all. My goal is to have it up by the end of the day, let’s hope I didn’t put too much pressure on myself.

Today she is demanding. Today I am tired. Not a good combination. But at least we are going to Mayfest and I already promised myself nachos. Its the little things.
