Miss Melissa stopped by Saturday on her way from Rochester (home, home) to Pottsdam (current home). I always look forward to seeing my platinum blonde friend :) I love hearing about what she's been up to and being around her is always nice...my favorite mentee of all times! Abbey was happy to have some Melissa time, too! She hadn't seen her in several months.
She arrived just as Todd finished balancing out our new gate/door to the kitchen. As you can see, Adam tried to jump it right away! We had to put this in...Todd had dreamed last week that Adam had gotten a knife out of the drawer and hurt himself and last Tuesday, picture day, he cut himself on some kitchen utensil when I wasn't looking and bled profusely all over the house (Adam keep a band-aid on? I don't think so!) I had bought a gate several weeks ago that ended up being too tall and big for the porch and not wide enough for the kitchen...and it was wrought iron so it really looked like prison. Determined to get a replacement (we really want a "door" one so it could stay up and we could go in and out...liked it when we saw it at Bonnie's house in S. Carolina, I loaded up the kids and the gate and after stopping in to see Dad Friday morning, I went back to Target. And got them all in...I know, I'm nuts. And balanced the new one on the bottom of the cart. Yeah, I'm that good.
So soon after Melissa arrived, Todd had to go do some work thing...and here's Adam climbing and trying to get back there, thinking Daddy was still there! Before Melissa left, of course I had her pose with her new car. It is really nice...a black Kia...since it was raining, I had her did some poses right from the porch :)
Later that afternoon, Todd and I turned on HUNG...we started watching Season One earlier in the week...about a history teacher who becomes a man-whore to well, um, make money. Cute show, but I have yet to see this giant unit that the whole show is about! Todd fell asleep so I mosied on over to Showtime OnDemand and finished the pilot of Weeds I had begun earlier in the week. I watched four episodes. Guess I'm HOOKED on Weeds hahahaha Do you get it???
Finished the day with a good-bye dinner to our nephew Colin who just graduated RIT and moved to New Hampshire today...he called me Christa and it bothered me for a few minutes, but I got over it...I told him I would just keep his card! Bridie Manor is nice, crowded with a lot of people with white hair...I always like the food but Todd's Prime Rib was fatty. Adam chowed on the bread like he was a starving orphan and Abbey did pretty good, though she was tired and a little over stimulated. For the first time, Adam was buddies with Uncle Chuckie..not scared of him! I sat next to Kathy who was so sad, but of course she was.
At the end of the night, when we were leaving Adam started running around. We walked out and usually this will make him follow...but not this time...he started doing hot laps around the table, so excited. And when he was tired, he laid on the floor. I thought he had fallen and went to run to him but Todd pointed out he was smiling.
That kid is going to figure out how to get around that gate eventually...as soon as he can climb it. Please, my mother still can't spell your name right. I have to correct her everytime she writes it.
ReplyDeleteYAY I made the blog haha I was so excited Adam let me pick him up! Those kids are adorable and I love them both lots. He will be climbing over that gate soon enough because he gets so frustrated! haha
