Fun Weekend

Josh got to come home early on Friday! WOO! We used our time wisely and didn't do a single constructive thing... or did we. No I think we saved it all for Saturday. Anyway... we made some banana muffins with Noah. He really likes the new oven because you can see right through the glass and it has in internal light. He must have checked the muffins at least every 30 seconds. He always announced it first "Ma'ee I check muppins!". Fun times :)

Saturday we went out and got me a chair for Tristan's room. I LOVE it. It's a little rocker/recliner and I so enjoy not sitting on the floor. Tristan's room is almost done! Grandma B is making him a valance that matches the blanket she made for him for Christmas. I love the animals so I sketched out a little scene that I'm going to paint on the wall in there. The hippo is going to be next to the whole group in a big lake. Noah's room is going to get dinosaurs (probably the ones from Land Before Time) and little Noah hand prints eventually.

Josh found a stool at Michael's real cheap and thought it would be fun to let Noah paint it. Noah LOVES painting so of course he had a blast. I had him write all the letters in his name... he already knows which ones and which order, but he's not too keen on writing them in a straight line. He did them all by himself! He even remembered how to make all of them without me helping... yeah so the "N" is backwards... he's only 3! haha ;) I think we ended up with a priceless piece of furniture.

Tristan slept for at least a 5 hour chunk last night. I fell asleep sometime around 5am in my new chair while feeding him, but eventually woke back up and rejoined the hubby in bed. I feel great today, very energized. I'm not too sure why. I didn't get any extra sleep or anything... I don't think. Today we're going to chow down on pizza and relax even more. I'm going to pretend I'm interested in the dumb superbowl and semi-watch it with Josh while I do laundry. Maybe I'll even ask a lot of dumb questions... "what does first down mean?" hahaha. Just kidding, babe ;)

Wow,great Job Noah!! I love his stool. He mush be so proud. Ava just gets so excited when she creates something artistic & she has to show everyone her new project..."See Daddy"..."See Ember"...haha


I love the last picture. Ember loves to sleep on her belly too. She must take after her Mommy :)

Yaya for your nursing chair. It looks so comfy! I would fall asleep in it too...I fall asleep every time I sit in mine. I feel like an old lady but I just can't keep my eyes open!!

Great sketch! It looks exactly like his blanket! I miss sketching. I draw stuff for Mark here & there but I never seem to have time to sit down & draw! I really have been meaning to. I have never been really big on painting...my Mom does awesome murals though. I love Ava's butterfly room that she made her.

I am sure both boys rooms will look sooo cool. You will have to post pictures!!

Aww, I love your new chair. It defintely looks comfy!!! We have one of those in our living room. I'm not allowed to sit in it when Dave is home haha.

Noah's stool is so cute! I can't believe he can write his letters. That is so great! Does he go to preschool next year? I think three is a good age to learn that stuff early.

I'm really glad that Tristan is sleeping for you. No sleep is not fun! He looks so cute sleeping away. So peaceful!

Very bad day today

Image
I got a horrible phone call early this morning from someone I used to work with. A friend of mine, who was stationed in Iraq, was killed yesterday in her sleep when her trailer was hit. SGT Trista Moretti was an amazing person. She had an impact on so many lives in so many places. It's going to be tough for everyone (like me) who can't make it to Jersey to say goodbye. I've been crying off and on all damn day. It seems so unfair. I hate this war and don't agree with it, but I don't think she died in vain. She died for everyone else out there. They fight for each other, not a cause, not their government. That's what I miss about the Army. I miss my comrades. Trista was hilarious and beautiful and had this great Jersey accent. We used to play word games and gossip and eat lunch together every day. We would laugh all day long while we "worked" haha. I remember when she first got to the unit I told everyone some bitchy chick with an accent was in the...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

Image
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...
