this week

downs:
-Bubbs learning to hide my phone around the house (under the couch, tucked in a kitchen drawer, in the heating vent, etc.) the fact that my phone is on silent 90% of the time doesn't help
-temper tantrums getting more and more common
-driving half an hour to the only fabric store near our town and finding out they're being closed down. i showed up to get the finishing touches for the quilt i've been working on and they were selling off the last of their scraps. all that was left were those awful fleeces with paw prints or unpopular cartoon characters on them. quilts don't really need binding, right?
-realizing we're moving so so soon! and i'll really miss it here! and what a bummer!

ups:
-chocolate chip cookies.
-compliments from strangers. i spend all of my time with a toddler who hardly speaks. a kind word from someone other than my husband (who is required to tell me i'm awesome) is like winning the lottery.
-sesame street parodies
-realizing we're moving so so soon! and we'll see our friends and family again! and cafe rio!
-every time Roo plays with her dolls she gives them big hugs and kisses and says "aaaawwww"- because that's what i say when i see her loving her bee-bees. my kid is cute, guys.
-being elmo. that kevin clash. so cool.
-seeing Tyler's face light up when he talked about how much the boys enjoyed the young men's activity he planned for them.
-Ruby learning to help clean up. you better believe i'm going to encourage this new interest!

it's been a good week.
