A Mellow Brick Road...: Much Needed Play Time at the Park

JuJu, Mommy nursed you back to sleep from 5am to 6am, but by 6am you were wanting your Daddy to get up with you and watch the news. So, Daddy got up with you, fed you, and watched the news with you. He returned you to Mommy a little after 7am. Mommy was able to nurse you back to sleep until 10:30 am!!!! Holy Moly we got some extra sleep!!! It was interrupted sleep, but sleep is sleep, Mommy will take it! Bodhi, you also slept in this morning. Mommy and Jude woke you at 11am. Mommy once again, hurriedly got you both fed and dressed. Then we were off for a long walk. First, we went to the Post Office to mail some bills, and then we went to Walgreens to pick up a sports drink, since Mommy ran out of her water, and then we walked to Foster Park. It was beautiful out, but in the sun it was hottttt. We were all red-faced and sweating like pigs! We played at Foster for a good two and half hours...well, past both of your nap times! Juders, you are getting easier to manage at the park since you walk, and should you decide to taste a rock when Momma isn't looking, you quickly spit it back out. Bodhi, you had an absolute blast. You did your own thing now that you have mastered the play equipment safely. Mommy is always very close by, but I no longer have to follow you everywhere!

After our play time at the park, we walked home and I got you both into fresh diapers. Then you both were down for your naps.... at 2:30 p.m. Bodhi, you received a package from Aunt Debbie and her sweat shop while you were sleeping. Mommy couldn't resist and opened it to see the latest creation from Aunt Debbie. She made the most beautiful blanket for you, and it was made from all the scrap material from your hats and clothes that she has previously made you. Mommy hasn't shown it to you, because I know you'd be dragging it around everywhere and Mommy thinks it's too nice and should be used for decoration hee/hee Thank you Aunt Debbie, you are so darn talented!

Juders you woke up shortly after Sister Kelly and the Governor came over. Bodhi, Mommy had Sister Kelly wake you up at around 5:30ish. Mommy then went and ran two quick errands before our appointment with a Realtor at 6:30pm. Mommy and Daddy went and looked at the house behind Grandmoo. It's huge and has potential, but if we were to dump all the money in it to get it livable, we'd be in the same situation we are in with our current home. Not to mention, we'd only be gaining a small room for Jude and one extra bathroom. Mommy was bummed because despite wanting to move somewhere bigger, Mommy doesn't want to move away from Grandmoo. It's so nice having her across the street, and both you and Jude, as well as your fuzzy brothers, love the fact that she's right across the street! Mommy and Daddy still have the Walnut Street house on our brain. We keep revisiting the possibilities and strategies how best to go about it hee/hee We'll see, what's meant to be will be. Mommy has had two other houses stuck in her brain, just like this house, and they both sold. So, there may be another house out there for us as well.

Mommy has a long night a head of her, and Daddy went to bed early in preparation for his long day tomorrow, you two will be going to Aunt Ti's tomorrow morning. I know you both have missed your Aunt Ti time this week, I'm just happy we spent some good ol' quality time at the park together today :)
