library, costco, baby oil

i had a conversation with weed a while back about waking up in the morning and being insanely tired.  so now when i wake up tired, i think of weed.  this morning i woke up so unbelievably tired that i texted weed immediately.  she mentioned that minus being mormon, she'd be a huge coffee drinker.  which made me want hot chocolate.  so i made some.  i love when you just want something and then BAM you can make it happen.  had i wanted doritos that would have been annoying because i would have had to go to the store for that.  

i actually got a shower and did my hair and makeup this morning and still made it to the library for storytime!  i turned in our reading card (one of those things where you read a bunch of hours and you get a prize) and helped abigail pick out a book (although she had no idea what was going on... i wasn't about to explain "we read 12 hours so you get to pick a book from the library that you don't have to ever bring back" especially because she hasn't stopped asking me when we can go on another easter egg hunt.  some things are better just glossed over.)  she picked start saving, henry! which made me smile, because i'm pretty money conscious, and i'm pretty sure my honey will appreciate it too.  then jodi and elle joined us.  baby girl is obsessed with elle.  i kind of am too though.  she's adorable.

 

 

 

blurry pictures because they were sooo hyper.  seriously make me think of monkeys.

swinging on the rails and everything!

and then we all went to costco.  baby girl ate her entire bowl of oatmeal for breakfast but that didn't stop her from eating every bite of every sample.  basil chicken and cheese sandwich, cheeseburger, bacon wrapped steak, ice cream with frozen cherries, broccoli salad, chicken alfredo, pasta with olive oil and parmesan cheese, and a few other things i can't even remember right now, SHE ATE IT ALL.  i don't even try to share samples with her anymore because she eats every bite.  also because she refuses to touch it if i've even so much as sniffed it.  she is very particular about having her costco samples all to herself.  brady was awake and fussy the whole time but finally drank his bottle and fell asleep as we were checking out and walking to the parking lot.  

 

 

 

baby girl learns so much from elle.  she ADORES her.

 honey ditched texas this morning and arrived in boston and sent a few pictures showing me "rainy boston."  so i sent him this picture of "sunny parker."  i seriously have to pinch myself sometimes.  i can't get enough of my view.  don't feel bad for honey though.  the pictures he sent me of harvard were gorgeous.  even if he did look slightly frostbitten.  

i try a lot of cleaning tips from pinterest.  today i had a few fails and one major success.  i always scrub and clean my dishwasher door so i know it's clean but there are water drip marks and finger print smudges on there that never ever go away like they're stained on the stainless.  well, let it be known that a tiny bit of baby oil rubbed on there made it look brand new!  like this has never been touched by human hands.  absolute perfection and i am in heaven.

 

 

also, i love my friends.  when i have no husband for days on end, texting helps me keep a grip on life. these past several days have been going really well but i still appreciate those "maybe you're on crack" texts that make me smile.

 

and because i am trying to be better and not stay up til obscene hours of the morning, i'm going to actually close my computer and get to sleep before midnight!  yeay for sleep!
