Most Wednesday mornings we are packed up and in the car to head to the gym by 9am as I volunteer in the daycare to get a free membership, because I am FAR to cheap to spend $50.00 A MONTH.
thats besides the point --
Last night was far from a "goodnight sleep" first off, I went to bed in the wee hours of the morning as I was so excited at finding out about www.shabbyblogs.com a very cool site to help my blog look Mackin' Thank you Jessanna Jones! ... after going to bed shortly after 1am - where I swore to myself to go to bed early as I have been cranky mama bear all week... I failed.
2am - Norah coughing and restless
3:30 - Reese hacking up a lung and crying because her throat hurts
3:35- go upstaires to fumble around the kitchen to get a glass of water
3:39- Crawl back into bed and doze off to sleep
4:15- Norah whining again..... happens to have a bowl movement.. oh dear!
4:30- crawl back into bed
5:30- Reese crying again for a drink of water
6:45- Norah up for the day
As I sit and type this blog listening to them giggle and play happily together... *sigh* its all worth it..
to continue on with our day
I just could not pack my sick little angels and take them to a germ infested pool with snotty nose children that parents dont know when to keep them home instead of getting their precious hour of cardio! - don't get me on that rant! we called the gym to inform them we would not be making it this morning.. and lazed around.
Got a phone call around 8 from, "a friend, from way back when", to say she was here visiting from Winnipeg with her 20 month old and was wondering if we could arrange a playdate! so what the heck, bring her on over!
Sam Christensen and her precious little busy bee Oakher Grace!
The girls had a great morning getting to know each other and doing what they do best!! as us mommies chit chatted over coffee and home made Granola!!mmmmm... making tents and pretending they were ponies and the tent was their barn, very useful imaginations!... well Reese obviously was leading the pack this morning as the eldest!
Norah and Oakher were a little bit more compatible as they are only 2 month age difference so it was fun to have a little playmate for Norah as it usually is someone here to play with Reese.
I had dug out Norahs old Car Seat about a week ago as Im getting ready to sell it.... I think it was the toy of choice for the whole hour! Norah in the seat... Oakher in the seat... and lots of giggles!
It was soon Lunch time and the girls were all eager to eat and share meal time togehter!
After Lunch Oakher's visit had come to an end, as nap time for all three was quickly approaching!
xoxo The Finlay girls
your so amazing! Love you!!
