Today was a stay home day. Hubby wanted to leave to go work in Denver at 7 this morning and I didn't have any errands to run, so he got up early and went to leave. At 715am, he woke me up to ask me where his glasses were, had I seen them. I told him where I last put them and kissed him goodbye. As I rolled over to go back to sleep, I heard him find them and leave. I slept until 8am.
Then I laid there and read for a little bit but Baby jumped up on the bed into hubby's place and wanted some attention so I put my book down and pet her for a little while. Then I went downstairs to get some yogurt for breakfast. Though it was early, I knew Holly would be up so I texted her and she texted me back. She asked me if there was anyway I could watch the kids for about an hour and a half between the time she had to leave for work and her husband came home. I told her sure! I'd love to. Then i went back to bed for an hour.
I got up, got dressed and fed the beasties, then walked out to meet Holly. I was watching the kids at her place so they would have stuff to do while they were gone. I had lunch with Holly and the kids, homemade bread with pb&j. Then Holly had to leave and I was prepared for Abbey to break down and cry the whole time like she used to but she was pretty casual about it. I asked Abbey if she wanted to go outside so she gave Holly a kiss and a hug goodbye and we went outside to use sidewalk chalk. We drew on the deck for a couple of minutes but being just turned two, she doesn't really get into drawing yet, so I did most of it and she would put a mark down occasionally. Then I asked her is she wanted to go swinging. She said yes, so she took my hand, walked down the deck and we went to the swing set.
Brother Chris had been busy using a hacksaw to saw a branch apart into pieces and doing very well but he decided to come swing with us. While I was pushing Abbey and he was swinging, he told me about their wild rabbit that comes in their yard. They named him Rusty because he has a reddish patch on his back but the rest of him is white. They put out some carrots for him but he hadn't eaten them yet. He showed me their sunflower that was growing and Abbey picked a couple of dandelions. She seemed kind of bored so I asked her if she wanted to go in and watch a movie. She did so all of us when inside upstairs to the bedroom and piled on the bed. Chris asked Abbey what she wanted to watch and put it on. He gave her a couple of choices and she answered with her version of the word. Abbey may be two but her verbal skills just aren't there yet.
Austin came home shortly afterwards and we all went into the car to take me home. They dropped me off and I spent the rest of the day playing with the rattie boys and on the computer. While I was texting, my texts stopped going through so I tried calling out on my phone and it said the service was interrupted. So I checked my new phone and my number transferred and my text messaging was working! Yeah! I checked my email and I had a message that everything was now with Republic Wireless. That means our bill for both phones will only be $35 a month, saving us $65 a month. I really like this new company and look forward to long and happy times together.
Hubby came home on his way to the office to punch out and wanted to change clothes real quick since he had been sitting in hot traffic for an hour and a half. I elected to go with him to the office so we could be together and we ran that errand. He approved the staffs' time and punched out. Then we came home.
Since we had an hour before making dinner, he mowed the lawn to get it out of the way and then we made burgers, beans and fries. He and Frank cleaned up the kitchen and now we are retiring upstairs.
The plans for the weekend are to hang out at the house and not spend money.
