The other day, I think it was Wednesday, I was having a lovely day. Amelie was asleep in the living room, I cleaned the house, I had just finished making a peanut butter and jelly toast sandwich, and I was pouring myself a glass of organic whole milk when...
I dropped the bottle of milk on the floor. (We get milk-man style glass 1/2 gallons of milk, see photo). It was awesome, Amelie woke up screaming, there was milk all over the floor and cupboards, and there were large chunks as well as teeny shards of glass all over the place.
Here is what happened next: I nursed Amelie while eating my toasty sandwich getting crumbs all over the floor. After, I strapped her into her papasan chair and mopped up all the milk with a couple of dish cloths and a rag. I cut myself. I swept up all the big glass shards. I rinsed the milk out of the broom. I vacuumed the area hoping to pick up the last of the tiny shards. Then I mopped. Old school style mopping, not Swiffering because we were out of Swiffer juice. Then I had to get ready to go to work. Boo. I wish I would have taken a photo of the mess. It was worse than the time I spilled a gallon of ranch dressing in the wait station at work.
I had to roll up all the kitchen and some of the living room rugs because of the glass shards. They are still sitting in front of the front door waiting to be shaken out and washed.
**Pause while I nursed, changed a diaper, bathed Amelie, nursed again, and put her to bed. **
Now it is 9pm. Last night she slept for 6 straight hours so I hope she does it again. This could be the begining of a good thing.
Amelie sat in her Bumbo seat for the first time. She was so cute... She wanted out at this point. Look at her little feet. I love 'em!
Abby and Sam came over this afternoon and are still hanging out. It's nice to have company during the day, plus Tyler went fishing until tomorrow so I would have been alone all day and night.
Abby took Sam to a photoshoot this morning. Her wedding photographer, Katrina from Studio Laguna took some super cute photos of Sammy that really show off his personality. You should look at them
here.We dressed Sammy and Ami in their matching I heart Minneapolis onsies today to take some photos. They weren't really cooperating. When Sam was happy Ami was crying and vice versa. Grandma Tracy took a bunch but I haven't seen them yet. I'll post some up when she gets back from the cabin and uploads them. For now, here are some that I took.
Amelie is just a little peanut next to Sam. Our plan was to hold them while they were standing to see the difference in their size, but that didn't work out today.
I still don't want to talk about the house we might buy, but we have signed so many papers, gotten plenty of bids on all the work that has to be done, and even went to Home Depot to research appliances, cupboards, flooring ect.. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I want to put up some photos but I'm going to wait until it is officially ours.
I decided I need to jump start my weight loss so I'm going with my aunt to a boot camp class. I'm a little nervous about it, but she's pretty into it so I hope it kicks my ass in a good way. I did a dorky ab workout video 2 days ago and I'm a little bit sore from it, but then I made Tyler go to the Dairy Queen yesterday. I always get the same thing, a small chocolate covered cherry Blizzard. Whenever I decide to try something new I regret it and wish I was eating those chunks of chocolate and cherry flavored topping. I'm so contradictory. At least I stopped eating donut holes by the handfull.
She screamed the whole way over, calmed down a little, and started screaming again when Tova was holding her. We went and got the stroller and I rocked her to sleep in it. Then we had to bring the stroller into the living room and roll it back and forth to keep her happy. Sam is checking her out.
