Tonight my mom was visiting us, and she left as we were eating dinner.
“Bye, Mom!” I said.
“Bye, Mom!” Carson echoed. So that led to a little conversation on who was who’s mom.
Me: Mimi is my mom. And I’m your mom.
Carson: And I Annay’s mom.
Me: Hahaha. No, you’re Annie’s big brother.
Carson: [confused look and moment of silence] Who Annay’s mom?
Josh and I went to the prom Valentine’s dance our stake put on. It was a blast! At least half the fun was assembling outfits from a trip to Value Village (a thrift store).
Dress: $7
Purse: $1.50
Tie: $1
Shirt: $2
Suspenders: Borrowed
Dancing the night away: Priceless.
One of my really good friends Rachael is having twins soon! A boy and a girl. (Love you, Rachael!) I helped to throw her a baby shower, and as part of it I got to make this:
But you know what I realized? It’s pretty tragic that Padme most definitely never got her own baby shower. (Maybe if she did, she wouldn’t have lost the will to live. I guess we’ll never know.) Anyway, I decided to make one for her, too:
Tonight Josh was talking about his coworkers’ weekend plans, which included things like seeing an opera and going to a Chinese acrobatic performance. (This was mentioned as we ate instant waffles over our very messy and crumby kitchen floor, talking to Annelise in baby talk).
Right now our weekend plans include grocery shopping, cleaning up Legos, probably watching Jake & the Neverland Pirates, and of course lots of diaper changing. So we weren’t feeling the most cultured at the moment.
“That’s another phase,” I said, trying to help us feel better. “It’ll come.”
“I want to go, too,” Carson suddenly said (we didn’t know he was listening).
“To the new phase? Okay.” :)
“We go there in a car?”
It’s so fun to see how two-year-olds interpret things. And when we do get to our theater-going opera-enjoying museum-touring phase, I hope Carson (and our other kids) are enjoying it with us. :)
