Girls Weekend

Ruby and I are missing George and Miles this weekend but enjoying the quiet too. I'd forgotten how simple life can be just a baby around. Here are a few things I was able to do with my leisure time yesterday:
  • Sleep during the day
  • Talk on the phone
  • Hear myself think
  • Read labels at the grocery store (most of the juices don't say where the fruit comes from, but Costco's apple juice is "fresh-pressed" (not from concentrate) from U.S. apples. We really like their organic peanut butter too--from US peanuts and no sugar.
  • Listen to the radio
  • Shop online (first for Wicked tickets, then clothing for myself [How nice that the current fashions favor empire-waisted, billowy tops, even some with ties in the back. What's up with that? I'm done with maternity wear!])
  • Blog!
I did a few constructive things too, and we went to some yard sales, which Miles would have really enjoyed.

Notice Ruby's funny crawl...and her "mem-ing" which sometimes sounds like "mama."

Oh she is such a doll.
Enjoy your quiet time..
I know what you mean about
hearing yourself think!
Luckily, there's this thing
called school which allows you
to do that more and more as
the years progress!
And sometimes husbands who
take all the kids except the baby,
to the mall or hunting or something!
