a good type of busy

i've been keeping busy; but its been fun.

Tuesday i went to see my sister in law and her son; my brother was away for a few days at a conference, so i thought she may want company while he was gone. it was really fun; erica and her cousin had such a great time playing together. He is 3 1/2 months older than her and is REALLY smart, so it was neat seeing him teach her things. He showed erica how to use a recorder. [its a whistle type thing.] At first she was just trying to suck in air, but eventually figured out to blow air out and the instrument would make a whistle sound. Then they also played at the piano. [As shown in the picture.] Quite a musical pair.

I had to wake erica up early in order to make our little venture. When i went into her room, she was still asleep, and i thought she looked so adorable. So i took a picture. Isnt she cute, with her hands behind her head there?

Wednesday was good. The daytime didnt hold anything too big; well, we did go grocery shopping. HA! i had a list of five things; $89 later we left for home... I kept remembering things i needed that hadnt been on the list; and it wasnt IMPULSE shopping. it really was stuff we needed.

Today i have a friend coming over; we're going to watch a movie. i'm excited. We normally dont get to spend too much time together b/c of schedules. She's going to India soon... The middle of May. Andrew joked with her that she should spend some time in our sunroom, because it gets to over 100 degrees in there-- when she's in india, its supposed to be like 120 or something. I dont think i've ever experienced that much heat in my entire life.

Tomorrow night i leave for my weekend get-away. YIPPEEEE!!!!

Cute pics!!! I miss seeing my kids sleeping like that. So precious! Moments like that make up for any ugliness that can arise when they are awake, LOL!!
Have a good weekend with the girls!!! Will dad need to start drinking as much coffee as you to get through the weekend?

well, "dad" doesnt like coffee. he absolutely hates it.

i, on the otherhand, am rather addicted to the stuff. Actually, i just realized today that since its getting warmer out, i can start making my own home-made frappaccinos. yummy

Oooooh, a getaway sounds like fun!

Yipee your weekend getaway. Come back and tell us you rested instead of worrying. :P

Great that Erica has her cousin to play with. They can be a handful but it's so good to get them socialized young. I have one nephew who is WAY socialized and another who knew nothing but his parents by the time he went to school. Suffice it to say the latter didn't do so well. He's catching on though.

You hang in there. Tell us fun stories of your "time off".

LOL clairissa-- i dont think i want to keep her up any later at night; she's normally awake till after nine. and i think babies/toddlers are supposed to go to bed earlier than that, like 7 or 8.
