Poor mommy!

Maren:
This week has been really hectic for mommy.  Daddy left for work on Monday morning and he never even came home on Tuesday when he got off!  He left straight from work to go on a river trip with a bunch of friends and was gone until Friday.  Then, when he got home he had to go straight back to work Saturday morning.  Wow! 
We made it through the week just fine though.... Mommy had meals already made in the freezer and she even took the crock pot to work with her one day!  I thought it was really funny because when she picked us up from school the car smelled like food.  I asked "why are we having dinner in the car?" and was confused about why we had to wait until we got home to have it! 
At the end of her work week mommy spent the days just relaxing and playing with me and baby brother.  She painted my toenails again and this time I got a really pretty flower with a sparkly rhinestone!  It was really hard for me to sit still while she painted it and even harder to hold still long enough for it to dry.  Mommy sat me on her lap and we sang songs to pass the time.
I also got to go over to my good friend Jace's house for a visit.  They have a new play structure in their yard and we had a great time playing on it!

A busy week for mommy means I have had to be a school a lot.  Luckily I am a happy baby and everyone there loves me.  
I am sitting up better in the Bumbo now (I used to just slump over and then spit up all over myself) and so I keep mommy company in the kitchen while she cooks.  I like to chew on anything she gives me but so far my favorite is the rubber spatula just like my sissy used to do!  My mommy thinks I must be trying to get a tooth in... it should be soon!
