Fun Day Yesterday :)

Our day started off cute as always. We let Jellybean out for some exercise and she attacked Noah with her little cold wet nose. I'm surprised she loves him. I think he's mean to her, but I guess she's a glutton for punishment. I didn't turn the computer on until bedtime yesterday! I was pretty proud of myself. Today I had to turn it on to look at computers since Josh's is about to die... and you know, one thing leads to another :P Anyway... yesterday was such a nice day we just HAD to go to the zoo. Noah was such a good boy!! I just couldn't believe how well-behaved he was the entire time. He was a little angel. AND he actually ATE FOOD! hahaha... this is a big deal to me. Not only did he eat food, he ate an apple and rice!!! :O I was in shock. I think the lack of TV for him and addition of outside play and mommy time did a lot of good.

My favorite part of the day was when Noah drew his own spiders. I love art and if my son shows even any remote interest in art I get excited. Look how lifelike his little red spiders are! Of course a boy would want to draw spiders... not flowers or rainbows or kitties or people, just big red dots with lines sticking out of them. That's my boy :)

I talked to a mom I met through cafemom on Yahoo yesterday. She has a daughter who is only a month younger than Noah and a 10mo old boy. She seems really fun and laid back and I can't wait to actually hang out with her. We only live like 10 minutes away from each other. In other words... I think I may have made a friend :O A friend?! ME?! I know, shocking. Oh and this weekend I'm taking Noah to see "Shrek the Third" because I am dying to see it. OK I am now going to shut the computer off and walk away. GO ME!

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE. We happen to be surrounded by water. The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between. Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights. We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right? Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace. I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that. I at least want a gas stove and water heater! So, anyways. We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober! YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn. Whoops. It was fun though. OK so here's where we began our journey. You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant). All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery. We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path. The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating. I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places. There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees. We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...
