Whew!

It's been a busy (in a good way) couple of days since my last post! And speaking of that - thanks for the great suggestions of bird names, keep them coming.

On Tuesday, we had Charlotte. Mom had to go get her because Jessica's tire was flat. Then, we were getting calls from Matt, looking for Dad, because his car was messing up. Then, Patsy came over to visit and to get Christopher's help loading some things she'd bought for her house in Union City. She was in town for an appointment and drove Uncle Frederick's red truck.

Then, Jessica R. came over after her writing class to spend the night. Jessica and I got Charlotte to go to sleep and then we played on the Wii. (Well, actually, Jessica played a little bit but then she started texting Scott). After I stopped playing on the Wii and Jessica stopped texting we started a game of Life.

Soon after though, we had to leave and take Charlotte back to Jessica and Matt. We had to take her back because Matt was supposed to pick her up, but he barely made it home since his car was acting funky. They were gonna change Jessica's flat and come and get her, but found out that the spare to the Saturn had a montrous hole in it. Mom, Jessica, and I stayed at their house while Matt and Christopher left to go to Gateway to get another tire. They got there too late so Gateway couldn't fix it.

Jessica and Matt were supposed to go to Susan's and Michael's and our car was not big enough drive everybody. They called Brandon and he happened to be close by so he came and picked them up to take them there. They were able to borrow their old van.

We took Christopher home, then Mom took Jessica and me to Lenny's. Afterwards, Jessica went to Starbuck's and got some Vanilla Latte thing. We left Starbuck's and went to Target to return some stuff and look around. Finally, we got back home, and because Jessica didn't want to watch American Idol with Mom and me, she decided to get Christopher to teach her how to solve a Rubik's cube.


Then, today, we had Charlotte for about twenty minutes in the morning while Jessica was getting groceries. Then, Jessica R. and I had to go to sewing class. We were able to finish our pajama pants and get all the pieces cut out for our pajama shirts. After sewing, we went our separate ways for bowling. When Christopher and I got home from bowling Mom and I started cooking dinner. After dinner we watched American Idol to see who would be eliminated. So, today was busy also, but now the day is over.

Confetti Eggs

Yesterday, we were at Kroger looking for Easter candy and Mom saw some confetti eggs on sale. They are made out of real colored eggshells: they broke the 'top' of each egg shell, put some confetti in there, then sealed the hole with matching tissue paper. Charlotte really liked breaking them! We even broke one over her head.

There was a big mess of confetti that Charlotte never got tired of playing with.

Jessica wasn't very happy; but we think that confetti is just proof of a good time!

Oh me, oh my

Charlotte

Today we had Charlotte. We showed her all the toys we'd bought her since the last time she was over here. Her new toys include: alphabet magnets, animal and number blocks, some Little People, a ball, a microphone (it makes you echo), and a baby with a stroller. She had a lot of fun with every single one of them. While she was busy playing, Mom went to Target. She came back with baby yogurt for Charlotte. Charlotte liked it so much she was sticking her hands in it trying to get every single last drop!

Then Mom, Charlotte, and I went over to Sharon's house (neighbor). She really likes it over there. After we came back she was watching Veggie Tales, so while she was actually sitting still we put her hair up. She started pushing her baby around, and Mom started taking pictures:
