Farewell Party
I’m wiped!! We had a full day. Church this morning, with very wiggly and restless children for some reason, and an afternoon of packing and cleaning. Then, a longtime friend of mine spent the evening with us, visiting and washing laundry since he is in town and in need of clean clothes. We wrapped up the day with a get-together in the backyard – a farewell party for our neighbors who are returning to Peru for six weeks. Bah. We’ll miss them to pieces. Anyway, it was busy, busy, busy, but fun, fun, fun! I was happy to catch up with my pal, David, and glad that he got to enjoy our “block party”, too. The kids, in typical kid fashion, put on a play for us, and we ate pizza and swatted mosquitoes until the sun went down and fireflies came out. We then hugged and said our goodbyes, and went inside to scrub our dirty children clean.
We’re (mostly) all packed up to head to King Pen’s parents house in the morning. If you think of it, send out some good vibrations my way as I drive the 5 1/2 hours by myself with the kids. I’m not sure how cooperative Chipmunk will be. He has impressive endurance when it comes to crying– he doesn’t give up easily. And he is not loving the carseat these days.
So, we may have a recipe for disaster on our hands, I don’t know. So, happy mojo to WonderGirl tommorow, mkay?
Anyway… this week, we’ll be swimming and playing, and hanging around with cousins and grandparents till they’re sick of us. It’s our vacation, but I’ll still be blogging, so you’ll be hearing from me. (In case you were alarmed there for a minute. I know how addicted you are to my blog. Ha!)
Well, I’ve got to tie up some loose ends around here before bed. G’nite all, and have a lovely Monday.
Oh, and King Pen is well now, thanks to my horde of antibiotics. Who says ya can’t self-medicate? Silly doctors. Anyway, thank you for all your well wishes and prayers while we were sick. I ‘preciate it!
