Tuesday Unplugged

Mommy finds herself saying, "wow, what a day," quite frequently these days ha/ha  Our morning started with a storm outside which resulted in a storm inside.  Our lights, air, and televisions all shut off, and Bodhi, you immediately went into "freak out" mode.  We don't pay much attention to tv in the morning, but the background noise has served as a major comfort to you, so when the tv turned off, you became very concerned.  Mommy explained to you, Bodhi, the storm had knocked out our electricity therefore there were things we couldn't do, and boy were there a lot of things we couldn't do.  Jude, you kept saying, "Mommy fix it," and "get Daddy to fix it." ha/ha  You were much easier to calm than your sister though.  So, we spent our morning, just like every other morning (minus power) playing and running around.  Bodhi, you would not leave Mommy's side.  You kept saying, "Mommy come with me, I'm scared."  You also said, "Mommy, our house scares me it's too quiet."  So, you two were glued to Mommy.  Mommy was constantly reassuring you both that everything was ok, and that the power would eventually come back on.  However, hours went by and still no power.  When lunch rolled around, Mommy didn't have any way of feeding you two, and our groceries were going to go bad soon, so Mommy couldn't open the fridge and stare in as I do most days ha/ha  Mommy called Daddy and he was more than willing to get us all, including himself, some lunch.  We all had chicken sandwiches, which you two actually loved :) Lunch was about the only success of the day!

 Nap time was another ordeal.  Usually you both fall asleep with your televisions on, and if not tv, at least some music.  Needless to say, neither of you went down for a nap very easily, and Mommy was needing a break from you two and your meltdowns big time.  Mommy finally got you both down for a nap, Jude, you in your crib, and Bodhi, you in Mommy's bed with Ms. Allie and myself.  Since you both went down late, you both slept late, causing Mommy to have to push back her appointment for work.  Once you both were up, Mommy got you two packed and dressed to go to Grandmoo's while I went to work.  You both were super excited to go to Grandmoo's and hopeful that Grandmoo had electricity.

When Mommy picked you up two hours later, Grandmoo was feeding you both a late dinner.  Mommy ended up waiting an extra hour for you two to finish your dinner and then your ice cream.Grandmoo reported that you, Jude, are an absolute crazy man!    When we arrived home, you both were excited to see Daddy and Sean Franky, but Daddy and Sean Franky were leaving to return the whole bean coffee that Mommy mistaken bought the day before, and this resulted in you, Bodhi, having another major meltdown.  You wanted to go with Daddy and Sean Franky, in Sean Franky's new car so bad!  

Once Daddy and Franky returned, you both went inside to visit and chill out in the air conditioning, in front of the tv.  Mommy who had "had a day" with you two, opted to stay outside in the humid heat and pull weeds ha/ha  Yes, I chose pulling weeds over dealing with anymore night time meltdowns.  When Mommy finished, Jude, you were in bed :(  Mommy hates that! And Bodhi, you were laying in on the couch with Daddy.  You were waiting for Mommy to come inside and asked that I tuck you into your bed :)  After I got you settled, Mommy went to work on our dining room table... first coat complete!  Sweet Dreams my sweet sweet babes!  Mommy and Daddy love you two to the moon (and back)!! :)

Ice cream for the crazy man!

Jelly Bean wanted a bite, and you gave her several Buddha!

I almost forgot to take a "before picture!"

Round ONE complete!

It won't look anything like this when I'm done, but I LOVE the rustic barn wood and 1920's legs I picked out :)  A very unusual combination of course!
