This week has been so crazy. I just stay up to date here so I can remember all that we did and I have a little time while I take care of Abigail anyway. I might as well write our family history down as it happens.
This is where I can put the stories behind the pictures.
Monday was an almost restful day, but mostly just because I was holding Abigail nearly the entire day. She slept until 10:30am or so after her morning feeding and then was UP until 3am Tuesday with just five minute "naps" here and there. I did manage to sew a little on aprons for our Ransom.Made design Spring Spectacular Friday night and Saturday this weekend. It's also the carnival at the school put on by PTA and I'm in charge of the bake sale and Olivia's kindergarten music program Thursday night. Busy, busy week.
Event after Andy got home and held her for me. I made pockets and the ties. I ironed those on Tuesday morning and put them all together Tuesday night and did the top stitching around all nine aprons Wednesday morning. Anyway, I spent the whole day holding Abigail or listening to her fuss Monday. Laundry finishing, dishes, dinner, and getting meals set for the sister missionaries was also on the schedule.
Vincent tidbit from Monday: While we were waiting in the parking lot for Elizabeth to get done at school, I let Vincent and Olivia get out and run in a big triangle of grass in front of my car and watched them and Abby from the sidewalk. Vincent was rolling in the grass saying "BEST DAY EVER!!!" We love the movie Tangled
. I think I made his day letting him run in the 60 degree nice, sunny weather in green grass. And he was singing one line, "Don't you want me baby? Don't you want me baby? Don't you want me baby? Don't you want me baby?" I kept finishing the second part of the song, but he didn't seem to understand.
Tuesday was more sewing and planning the week, as well as Olivia's ballet class, th
e Clot Trot (Andy took the three big kids since his boss is the one who puts it on), and a PTA meeting.
During the ballet class, I took Elizabeth, Vincent, and Abigail to a fun park close to the ballet studio to play. They just built this new section of the park and they hadn't played there yet. Olivia went with a friend last week.
Abigail sleeps with one eye open to make sure I don't really rest at all. (Not really, but it sure seems that way sometimes.)
Vincent liked the playground and had a great time on the twisty slide.
Elizabeth liked the tunnels and running.
Here are the kids by the Columbia River during the Clot Trot. It was the perfect weather for it.
I went to the PTA meeting and took the minutes since I'm the secretary this year. I'm taking a break next year from being an officer. I'll still be involved though. Abby is starting to grow out of a few newborn things.
I'm glad she's a smiley, pretty baby. It makes the four hours of sleep nights a little easier. Yes, I said four hours. Tuesday night she slept from 4am-8am. She slept in the morning while I was at the school fixing a sign and when I came home to finish sewing too. Then I laid down for ten minutes after making Vincent nap and she woke up. It was a nice ten minutes while it lasted. After school Wednesday we went and dropped off our things for the big sale Friday and Saturday in Kennewick at Andy's parent's house, made dinner, the kids had bathes, ate dinner, read stories, and then we played games at our weekly game night. Then my night began when I get real one-on-one time with Abigail. It's nearly her real sleep time, so I've got to go get some rest myself. I'll leave you with another cute picture of her. See? She's wide awake. (She has since fallen asleep. Time for bed for me too.)More to come with all the events of this week. We'll see when I'm up to blogging about all of that. I might just do it in one last burst to be done. =)
