A Mellow Brick Road...: Mommy Day!

Even though it's 3am, technically Friday, Mommy figures she better do Thursdays blog before she forgets everything we did together today! Mommy got up when you Buddha awakened. Daddy warned Mommy that the AAA Fence folks would be coming back today at 11am to collect their fees and cover some remaining posts. Our fence looks amazing! Mommy got in the shower and you two played (nicely) with one another. Mommy got you both dressed and was assisting you both with brushing your teeth when GiGi surprised us all...she walked up the stairs and gazed around the corner. You two went bonkers. You both wanted to abandon your Momma and go to GiGi's, but Mommy wasn't having it. Luckily, you both took the "no" answer very well. After getting us all cleaned up, Mommy started some laundry and we all played together. After lunch you both went down for your naps. Bodhi, you fought taking a nap, so you curled up in Momma's bed and watched "Tree of Life," with Mommy. Once the movie ended you decided that you would then take a nap in your bed. Of course Jude, you woke up as your sister went to sleep.

Mommy took you, Jude outside and you played with your bubbles on top of your slide while Mommy mowed and did lawn work. We had a major scare during this time. Mommy heard a little girl crying and she sounded identical to you, Bodhi. Mommy immediately ran to the front yard yelling, "Bodhi!" Mommy was freaking out because I could hear you but I couldn't see you! Mommy decided to check in your room, just to make certain that you were outside, and luckily, you were still asleep. After mowing, landscaping, and hanging some decorative touches on your new fence, Mommy started dinner. Grandpa called to say he would be coming over for a visit, but we decided that milkshakes weren't a good idea because you two are full of snot and we didn't want to make it worse on the two of you. When Daddy arrived home from work he took you, Buddha to the store to pick up diapers and deodorant for Momma! Bodhi, you finally came to and came downstairs where Mommy fed you dinner. Daddy and Jude ate theirs when they arrived home from the store.

Grandpa came over, as promised, and Mommy headed to work for a while. I also made a trip to the store to pick you two up life jackets for our State Park swimming adventure :) When I arrived back home, I got you both dressed and you accompanied Mommy on a mission to find a stencil. Mommy is amazed at the number of people who do not know what a stencil is, and no one in Kokomo carried any :( The only store we didn't try was Hobby Lobby, because we got there at closing time. You two went to Lowes, Big Lots, and Walmart with Mommy looking for a stupid stencil. Though Mommy didn't find her stencil for our dining room table project, you two made out with a little treat because you both were so well behaved. When we finally made it home at 10pm, you both were more than ready for bed. Bodhi, you started out in your own bed but while Mommy was cleaning the cat house, you decided that you were going to have a slumber party with Daddy. After you all were settled in, Mommy went to work on my nightly chores and finished step 2 and 3 on our dining table project :) Mommy is tired!!!

Mommy didn't get any pictures of you two today :(
