Madness and Mayhem
What a day!
Some Wednesdays we visit my friend Imelda...also my friend Olive is often off work on a Wednesday and we might get a walk in... Imelda was busy this week, but Aine and I planned to meet up with Olive and her 2 year old daughter Allie in the afternoon, so we planned a morning walk with Marion and her daughters. Well, that was great, did some cleaning in the morning and went off on our walk. Got pelted with rain, but luckily only at the end of our walk...
I also had plans to watch my friend Sandra's little boy Conor from 2:30-5:30 when his dad would pick him up...
So...after the walk, I came home to a messy house, toys all over the living room, washing from last night stacked up, laundry to fold...
Oh yeah...and they called from Florida to ask if I could do a quick design job for them...so worked on that last night and this afternoon.
Didn't feed Aine till 3pm! Didn't feed myself either... Ended up making lunch for Conor and Aine, some Teletubbie pasta, hee hee, and cheese toast for myself... Looked after the kids while trying to do the dishes and straighten up a bit... got lots of calls, then Ann called to see if I could help out typing her 8 year old's short story and print it out...told her I would if she watched the kids for me...so soon we had six kids here running around, my 2, Conor and Ann's 3 kids! She watched them while I helped her daughter Joann... The other kids kept coming in and out of the office to show me toy cars, new shoes, lollies (guess who that was...as if you need to, hee hee). I just about managed to get my design job out... Ann was great, watched the kids and straightened up my kitchen and living room for me, how nice was that!
Anyway... Conor seemed to enjoy himself...didn't want to go home... I have a cute pic I'm going to post here of Conor holding Aisling. By 6pm the house was relatively quiet, so I got a bottle for Aisling and dinner "(AKA "pizza") for Aine...daddy was home by 7, mom called, Henny came over to borrow the sewing machine, and finally ate some dinner around 9pm, of course while making some jam with my extra blackberries...
I'm tired.
So now I'm just surfing...was checking out the Wiggles concert dates in DC...they are playing the day we arrive, bummer...if it was one day later...Aine would have been a very happy nearly 2 year old!
Aine made a new discovery today, she pointed to me, daddy and baby, naming us, then pointed to herself and said "me"!! We'd never seen her do that before...cool!
