This was the first weekend in awhile that the 3 of us has been together...maybe it's only been the last few weekends but it seems like awhile. Anyway, we had a great time just hanging around the house, cleaning, and visiting friends.
Paul bought Anna a Lincoln Log set which she actually enjoys building with Paul. Good thing he loves it because I am just not the creative builder type. I found a little Strawberry Shortcake doll while we were out shopping and I had to buy it. Anna didn't care for it either way but I remember that smell from growing up! It's the SAME Strawberry Shortcake smell even though the doll looks different. I never actually had one but I played with others when I was young. So I finally got one of my own. :)
We visited Z and C and her parents last night as a thank you for Paul's treating her mom's shoulder. Glad he could help! They cooked fish which Anna LOVED and we had a great time. Anna got sleepy and silly towards the end of the night and sang "Hoppy Poppy" (AKA Hokey Pokey) all the way home in the car.
This morning Anna bounced out of bed cheerfully...she still will wake up and wait/play in her bed till we come up to get her! It's funny because even after over two months of having the crib rail down, she still hasn't figured out she has the complete freedom to leave her bed and play with her toys. Yesterday morning I woke to watch her on the monitor and I was surprised to see her climb out of her bed. I thought: THIS IS IT! But she got down, grabbed her paci off the floor, and hurried back into her bed. We kinda have to giggle at that. She will also reach across to her bookshelf to get her babydoll but not leave her bed. This moring she was happy to see me and told me she was fixing her doll's pigtails. Then when she got down to our bedroom, she told daddy to wake up and let's go get some donuts!!! "Get up daddy! Move it!"
Tonight we went swimming at LB and AB's pool along with their daughter, OM, MM, CM, and OMMOM (TJ). I love it when we do that. Anna had a blast and it's so fun watching the kids play while the rest of us catch up. LB's baby boy is around 3 months old and she looks great and the baby is super sweet and laid back. We had lots of good food tonight as usual!
I got a peak in at Anna's final molar this morning. Its flat sruface is almost all the way through so I think we're past the worst part. She hasn't been bothered in her sleep for awhile, and her attitude has been happy Anna all week. So this one wasn't NEARLY as bad as the previous one. And now we're just about all done with teething. YIPPIE!!!
Well it's late. Night night!

So wish we were there....swimming and hanging out with friends sounds great! But at least we will be seeing you soon! Oh and I remember well the SS smell too and I don't think I ever had the doll either. It's a very distinct smell. Funny the things we remember from our childhood?
Oh how the easy hang out days with ya'll and the TONS of food. We hardly have any friends get togethers or BBQs. Its really different for me!
