Yesterday I babysat my nephew Dub while his Mom went to the hospital to check on Max. Dub is sixteen months and such a happy little boy. But let me tell you it was a chore to keep up with Ella, Dub, and Ava. Luckily, my pleasant little Ava chilled in her chair smiling and kicking her feet for most of the time. We all played out in the yard for a while then came in and read some books and sang songs till Dub and Ava fell asleep. I can't believe I managed three kids for two hours. I have a lot more respect for my Mom now.
Tonight is girls night and we are going to drink wine and paint pottery at a studio near downtown. Jason is dumbstruck as to how this could be fun, but it sounds great to me. Ella is going to Nana's so he will just have Ava tonight and she is ridiculously easy these days.
Tomorrow my sister and I will be continuing our adventure at our grandparents. We seem to both get sick after a trip there, so god knows what kinds of germs are going on in there. I know my Grandma had to stop cleaning like two or three years ago. It is insane. We should be finished in a couple more weeks and then we will have a giant garage sale. We went and decorated their new apartment last week and they were so happy.Both my Grandad and Nannie are in the same place finally after four months of being shuffled around to different hospitals and facilities. It's sad though because my Nannie hasn't grasped yet that she isn't ever going home. It makes me think a lot about getting old.

She may not be able to go home but at least they are together.
ReplyDeleteAnd drinking wine and painting stuff actually sounds like a wonderful girly time. next time we go up to see you we should do that and leave the kids with the boys!
