No Mommy didn't get the day off from babies nor work, Mommy just woke up feeling "off." Usually a cup of coffee does the trick and we are off to the races... but not this morning. Mommy lounged, played, and lounged with you two some more. We didn't even go downstairs to say hi to Daddy and eat breakfast for a good hour after waking up... though I believe you tried waking and conversing with Daddy very early this morning Bo because you later reported that Daddy "hurt your heart" by telling you to go be with Mommy. Mommy eventually made breakfast, waffles and juice, and then we headed back upstairs to play. Bodhi, you wanted to go outside and play in the sandbox, but we all were distracted and didn't make it outside before nap time. Before we knew it, it was lunch time. You both ate lunch and Mommy vacuumed and mopped downstairs. After lunch you both wanted to take a nap, with the request to watch "Chicken Run," and "Puss In Boots." Mommy put you to bed with your movies playing, and then I too retired to bed. Daddy actually moved once you two were down for your naps ha/ha figures! Mommy tried asking Daddy how he felt, but talking to Daddy is still like talking to a bear... he growls, he moans, and Mommy easily distracted, can't seem to wait the 20 minutes it takes for Daddy to answer a simple question ha/ha So, by observation only, Mommy believes Daddy is still feeling horrible. You two have been pretty much "Daddyless" for the past week, but you both are dealing.
After naps, Mommy finally got you both dressed and we headed to our old house to spray some smell goods and pick up peaches before the scheduled showing. Then we headed to JoAnn Fabrics for some additional fabrics and supplies for your room Bodhi. Good thing Mommy is creative otherwise these frequent craft store trips would be very expensive! However, Mommy has this new idea for our fence... Mommy gets these brilliant ideas and then I have to at least try them out or I'll go crazy. Mommy newest idea is to stain every picket a different wood tone ha/ha OH BOY! This may not only get expensive, but it's another time consuming project, and I need to get my craft room walls done (my last "brilliant" idea). So, we headed to Menards to speak with a paint specialist. Mommy wants the wood grain to show, but I want the fence to look as though each picket was a salvaged piece of wood hee/hee After my consultation, I bought three containers of semi-transparent outdoor stains/sealer... a dark wood color, a gray blue, and a medium tone. Mommy had four others picked out, but they ran out of the quarts in the product, so I have to wait to get the others. Mommy's passion (aside from my work and animals) my hobby, my love (aside from you two) is and always will be, decorating and home improvement projects. It's absolutely my favorite creative outlet, physically, mentally, and emotionally, and I love that you two enjoy watching and helping Mommy. You two are certain to be two little Mommy me's :) Mommy finds it humerus when people ask what I'll do when I get our house "done," oh it will NEVER be done. I will think and discover new ways to improve every detail of our home, from floor to ceiling! :)
After our shopping trips, we drove by our Leeds house to close all the window. Mommy saw that Grandpa was at Grandmoo's, so Mommy dropped you both off and went home to start dinner. Grandpa had called while we were shopping, he wanted to see you two and drop off some vegetables.
Tomorrow you both will be decorating your very own treasure boxes. You both love to collect treasures on our daily adventures (other than Mommy's "off" days) so you need a special place to store them. Currently, you, Bodhi store your treasures in a shoe box, Mommy finds this unacceptable :) So we'll have treasure boxes to show off in tomorrow's blog entry. Oh and Mommy still hasn't uploaded your Bob Dylan dancing videos... I'll get to it on an "on day."
Sweet dreams my sweet babes! Tomorrow will be more exciting, I promise!
PS When Mommy previously spoke of the sometimes "strained Grills' mother/daughter relationships" I was only speaking of GiGi, Grandmoo and myself... no further generations :) Grandmoo was concerned that people (family) would think that we were speaking of generations further back, which wasn't the case. Mommy didn't mean for this comment to be a necessarily negative comment either... GiGi, Grandmoo, and myself are all completely different people, in almost every way, however, we are very much alike in our poor communication skills, specifically with one another ha/ha (yes, that's kind of negative) so unfortunately we often cause each other stress unintentionally, all because none of us can effectively communicate with one another. I guess we all do have a quirky sense of humor, so Bodhi, you'll fit right in that sense!
