Making Time for Play

Today I took Alexandra with the MOMS Club on a Field Trip to the Children's Museum in the Woodlands. It was a nice drive there and Alexandra ate a whole orange at least a cup of blueberries and a few handfuls of Goldfish... sheesh. We listened to Baby Baluga and were happy the whole way there. It was quite overwhelming for her when we got there- so much to see and do and touch she did not want to take the time to have a diaper change! She played cook. As you can see here in the kitchen making macaroni. We also spent a lot of time taking turns playing doctor. She listened very carefully to the heartbeat and looked very carefully while she poked the eyes of her patient.

Last but not least we paid homage to David's favorite store while we were there. She roder the carousel and played in the giant crazy playground and finally we had to call it quits and head home.

And I am exhausted! I have forgotten what it feels like not to be nauseous. I have a half clean house and mostly not clean kitchen, didn't walk today and I have a MOMS Club Board meeting to run tomorrow! And I have choir practice tomorrow night! Yipes! Time for bed.

Adventures in Round Rock

Last night David and I drove to Round Rock to Celebrate my brother's birthday and come get my little girl! I dropped her off on Wed afternoon and I didnt see her for a full 48 hours! That night David and I celebrated our 3rd Wedding anniversary.

The next day of course I didn't know what to do. What a strange experience having all that time to myself! I cleaned and watched movies for the most part. Marley and Me is very sad btw- I was expecting more humor. But all the while Alexandra was having adventures in Round Rock. She went shopping, went to Grandma's school, went bowling- all the ketchup she could eat, with fries incidentally. Went to the car dealership, went to Academy, went fishing!!

Look at that gorgeous hair! She even got to hold the pole while the fishy tugged away. What a blast! She also has fun feeding the fish at Grandma and Grandpa's house- they eat a lot when she is around- but she had never seen one so close up until now.

James brought his dog Kelly to stay and she is a little rambunctious so when she gets in Alexandra's face she says "Knock i' off!" She heard James saying this to Kelly. James also taught her to hold her hands in peace signs and say "whoooo!". Poor Uncle Andrew has had to work a lot! Aunt Amber drove in last night too and the whole crew (minus Philip who also has to work :( ) is here for James' 23rd.

Alexandra had me up at 6:30 but I am caught up on sleep from my vacation. Now Grandpa and Amber are up so I am off duty again:) She had a big bowl of Trix which she picked out for breakfast. Nice to be at Grandma and Grandpa's house!
