Day 13: returning cans and bottles - going green in action - we even walk to do our recycling for bonus points, and becaus it's more fun. It is a little embarrassing though when people glance at the strollers and note that we're recycling all of daddy's babas.
Day 12: Started the day nearly getting killed in a spinning class and ended the evening being sworn in as a city councilor. Worked as a snot-sucker outer/diaper-changer/nose-wiper in between the two.
Day 11: Surprise dinner birthday party for Amy - really surprising since her birthday was December 15th! Matt made an awesome dinner. I didroast the garlic for the mashed potatoes but otherwise, all Matt and all good. The kids were running around the house but left sippy cups on the table to mark their presence at the party.
Day 10 - Sam is finally feeling better and it was one of those easy-going, relaxing Saturdays that make me look forward to weekends. Feeling ambitious, Matt and I took Sam on a grocery shopping roadtrip from Grocery Outlet to Fred Meyer. Luckily, Sam still loves his backpack!
We got a Cream Charger from OJ today and Matt made chocolate mousse.
Day 9 - Costco run with Amy & Ella - we were supposed to go the other day when Sam came down with croup. Sam was miserable but seemed to enjoy being out of the house. I know I did!
Day 7: My sick baby still makes me laugh with his "tough guy" jams and my purse. Sam was super sick today, his 15 month birthday. We celebrated by going to the doctor's office for a steroid shot so he could breathe.
Day 6: My column "A grody kind of love" published today. Ironically, we put a perfectly healthy little boy to bed and woke up a few hours later to the sounds of a barking seal in Sam's crib. Croup.
