I took off Saturday morning and went over the snow mountain to see Sara and the grandboyz, daddy Bret had to work this weekend. I can't believe how much Evan is talking since we saw them at Christmas! "My mouth likes jelly, Beema" was the latest.
Shortly after I arrived at Sara's and dropped all my baggage, mommy and daddy went out for a few hours alone while I watched Evan and Eric. We had so muchfun! Evan and Eric have these air blast dart guns and we spent an hour shooting the front door and and the ceiling, they would just squeal and giggle when the suction tip would stick to the ceiling or the door and when it didn't, we all chimed in with "Oh darn!" The energy that these two little boys have is incredible; they are ALWAYS moving something or changing direction, thought processes don't even get completed before something else occurs to them. Ahhh youth. And so when one grownup is worn out and tired, think of...food! "Hey, are you guys hungry?" "YESSSS! Peanut butter and jelly! Peanut butter and honey for Ewick and peanut butter and jelly for me. My mouth likes jelly, Beema". Grandma made it through lunch when mommy and daddy came home so they could get the boyZ ready for a nap.
We had a great visit and Sara and me were able to get in some shopping trips. I hate clothes shopping and will only go when I absolutely have to. It's just no fun to go by yourself. Besides, Sara has such a fashion sense, it's a good thing my personal dressing assistant is my daughter because I wouldn't be able to afford her. She picks outfits for me and is completely honest about how they look and work for me. I see fashion disasters at the store everyday and wonder, "Don't these women look in a mirror before they go out the door???"
Saturday night after the Evan and Eric went to bed (Evan got to sleep in mommy and daddys'
bed because of my visit even though I offered to sleep on the couch), Sara and I opened a bottle of wine, two boxes of Valentine chocolates and some other various nibbles and began to watch "Julia and Julie". It was nice to rest and relax, the both of us. Somewhere in the middle of the movie, we hear this, "Mommie, come in and watch with me". Yes, it was Evanfromheaven's little voice. He had been awake all this time waiting for mommie to come in and be with him. Mommie invited Evan to come out and be with us and so he wriggled inbetween the both of us with Teddy his bear and shared some snacks with us.
Life is good.
