Three hours of bliss!

This is Christian with his new train.  He still loves his Thomas trains.

Yesterday was a really great day.  I had scheduled to have our new babysitter come over at noon to stay with Ayden and Mason.  Christian had started feeling sick Wednesday night and I wasn't sure if he was going to feel well enough to go to school on Thursday.  He wasn't running a fever but he was sneezing and had a horrible runny nose, so I kept him home.

Sarah came over at noon, very prompt, I like that.  I gave her the basics on how to take care of Mason, left her a couple of phone numbers and went on my way.  Mason seemed to do fine.  He didn't cry when I left and I didn't hear him crying when I called to check on them.  

The very first thing that I did was got a pedicure.  The last one that I had was when I was pregnant with Mason.  He's almost 1!  So that was nice.  Then I went over to the mall to look for some jeans.  I've lost 32 lbs and knew that I needed a smaller size.  I had no idea that I had gone down TWO sizes!  That was very exciting.  I only bought one pair because the weight is still coming off.

Then I went to The Children's Place where a friend works.  I visited with her for a few minutes and found two outfits for Mason.  I left the mall and went to the pet store to get some filters and food for my fish tank.  Then finally to Walmart for a couple of groceries, a birthday present for Mason and some Valentine's day gifts for the boys.

It was SO nice to be able to do that and I can't wait to do it again.

Dominic got back from Africa yesterday.  He called while I was gone and left a message.  He said that he hadn't had a hot meal and only slept 3 hours in three days.  He also said that it was really hot and the mosquitoes are horrible there.  He said he would call again today.  I hope he caught up on his sleep.

There's no school today so I think I will take the boys for a walk later.  It was 73 degrees yesterday and then this weekend thru Monday or Tuesday its supposed to rain.  We better get outside while we can.

Great news with my moms house.  We have accepted an offer and its time to get the ball rolling.  My sister and I are very excited.
