Aaron's back! Yay!!!! He was gone all weekend for a guys weekend skiing (or boarding) in California. I was here with the boys, all alone. By myself. Crying and whimpering.

Just kidding. We kept busy. Here are some snippets from our weekend...

Such a smile

...and the Craig's list add our weekend spurned, here. sniff sniff

This Thursday, it's time for me to have my girls weekend. I'll be in CO through Monday morning. I have a ton of respect for single mothers. It is so much more tiring when you're solo. I was exhausted at the end of each day, hence the sparse blogging the past couple days.

(In full disclosure, the pictures from Maggie's are actually from the weekend before. We did the same thing this last Friday except we more slightly more clothing and stayed allllll day.)

Tote

I finished my latest craft project, a tote bag.... for a GIANT! I have no idea how it got so big. I wanted to make a tote bag for library books. I made a tote bag for the entire library, plus Byron and Waylon. Oops. I think I'll try again and cut it down by at least 1/3. This is the pattern (not my bag, still missing camera):

I got it at CAP's Crochet. I'm going to try it without the "holes" in it this next time too. If it's not so huge, it shouldn't take too long to complete.

Swimmy

I'm so excited. I picked this up for Byron today at Target...

The cushions go on either side of his body and the little black strap goes between his legs. He can swim by himself!! Byron and Waylon took turns wearing it around the house today. Sorry, no pics. I left the camera at Maggie's last week.

He likes to tell anyone who will listen that he can swim by himself, but he's not there yet. I'm excited because I think he will be able to swim on his own with this thing. We'll try it out in Cancun and I'll let you know. I'm also all excited because it's got me thinking about spending tons of time in the pool and ocean in Savannah. I can't wait to spend more time in spandex than cotton. :)

We're working on all the details for the house in Savannah. One thing I've recently found is that insurance rates are quite a bit higher on an island. Hmmm. Oh well.

I've also had to re-evaluate my plans for Byron's preschool next year. The one I picked is on Skidaway island which is about 30 minutes drive from our future abode. I talked to one of the ladies (also a mom) that's been helping us at the bank today and got 2 recommendations for great preschools on Wilmington. So, that's what I'll be doing tomorrow morning.

All this has me so excited about the move.

What's up cos..

Here's a one sided view of the chat Byron had with his cousin Kendell earlier today...

-Farmer Jones, oh great
-Maybe we can play mud spud sometime
-Sounds good you silly guy
-Oh sure
-You remember that tiny mouse
-I'm playing now with new toys and hanging out
-Oh ya, oh ya
-Ya, I remember that
-Um ya, I'm just laying and Waylon
-What you up to?
-I'm busy, bye

It was the most adorable thing. Byron hasn't been a big phone talker, but he talked to Kendell for at least 5 minutes. He used his big teenager voice. I wish I recorded it. It was priceless.

Happy Easter to everyone. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Big News!

Sorry for the delay in posting. We didn't have internet for half of this week. Ack!

So, we got a contract on a house!! It's on Wilmington Island, about 10 miles from Aaron's work and 10 minutes from the beach. ;) It's at the end of a cul-de-sac with three other houses. It's 0.6 miles from the neighborhood playground. We're really excited. It's this one...
