This has been a very full few days!
Friday hubby was sleeping off an overnight shift and it was POURING and storming and there mas massive flooding in our area so munchkin and I had a nice lazy day at home. I had candles burning because the power was going off occasionally. Andrew has always been interested in candles and, well, they live on the half wall behind the couch. I may have mentioned he can now climb ONTO the couch.... and well, you can probably guess the rest. I had grabbed his left arm but before I grabbed the other he reached out and swatted down one of the burning candles. Honestly, I was in such a panic that something would catch fire or Andrew would get hurt that I really just sat and laughed about it all after.
We did try to remove the wax with ice and an iron/cloth but no dice. We're going to try to rent or use a steam cleaner but otherwise, we threw out the one throw pillow that was collateral damage and my mother-in-law suggested making slip covers which sounds pretty good! Thankfully they sent me an awesome sewing machine for Christmas so I'll get to try it out soon :)
Saturday we woke up bright and early to road trip to the East coast. My cousin is getting married on the beach out there so we offered to go take pictures and measurements of the house they are renting-- it's gorgeous! Can't wait for September! We quickly viewed a hotel we may stay at and then headed back. Again I have to say that Andrew is such a little trooper. We were gone for 9 hours and not one angry peep out of him. Amazing little kiddo.
Later that night we left little man with granny and did the grocery shopping for the week.
Sunday we were able to get to church and saw the confirmation ceremony which was a lot of fun! There was a new person running the nursery though and Andrew and another little boy were "egging" each other on (one would cry and then the other would start) so Jesse left part way through to calm him down and bring him in for communion.
Afterwards we had a living room picnic and watched "Frozen". Andrew loves that movie and was bouncing around to the songs haha
After dinner I introduced hubby to "Mary Poppins" and hoping to show him "Saving Mr. Banks" one of these days, too.
Today was so nice, hubby did so much with munchkin and the house. It was wonderful! We also went to the park and little man had a great time sliding and climbing around and ringing the bells, etc. When we were about to leave, though we realized he had hurt his toe, the nail was torn and bleeding a bit so once we got home we took care of that, had a nice big lunch and took naps.
Lastly, here's our dinner menu:
Monday: Salads and leftover Chicken Chili
Tuesday: Hubby's favorite, Breakfast-for-Dinner. Probably pancakes with bacon
Wednesday: BLTs and green beans
Thursday: Tuna Pasta and garlic toast
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday: Steak and garlic potatoes (before heading to the ballet!)
Sunday: Corned beef hash with eggs and hashbrowns (a favorite of mine and my mom's)
