We are having a busy weekend over here at the H-W house. Bob and I are working furiously during nap times to switch Peter to his room upstairs and Annie to Peter's old room. We were hoping to be done by this afternoon but we may have to put off the transition to next weekend - picture me wincing when saying this because I HATE not meeting the goals we set! But then again - here I am blogging right? We had a wonderful day yesterday - started working on the rooms and then went to my parents house for mass in the living room with Uncle Ig. Meg and Tim came and not only was mass intimate and personal but it gave the kids the chance to see how present Jesus is in every single moment of our lives - even in Grammy and Papa's living room. Grammy treated us to pizza and grinders after and we all hung out for a while visiting with Uncle Ig - he had been on a 2 week whirlwind vacation with Father mike Duffy! Later on Molly and I snuck out for a girls night - we went to see Fame! The original was much better but the company could not be beat. On the way home I was talking to Molly about my first grown up movie in a movie theater and how grown up I felt when my mom took me to a PG movie. The movie was Ice Castles and for anyone who has seen it.......well....it's pretty darm pathetic acting and the music is outrageously corny but to this day it is one of my favorite movies. I was explaining to Molly that I love the movie to this day but I thought it was less because of the actual movie and more for the memory of going to see it with my Mom and feeling so grown up. I also regaled her with stories about all of the times Uncle Pat would call me because the theme song to Ice Castles (Through the Eyes of Love) was on the radio and he would call to make fun of me - pretending he was crying, giving a synopsis of the touching moments of the movies and reminding me that I used to use my roller skates in the driveway and pretend I was blind skating around. I treasure these phone calls! Molly and I continued talking about our fun time at the movies and she turns to me and very seriously says "Isn't it great be someone's daughter, Mom?" She has no idea how great it is to be someone's daughter and I hope someday she gets to see how great it is to have a daughter!
The twins hanging out and playing in their footy pajamas!
My little angle refused to go to bed but then could not stay awake a moment longer!
When Auntie Meg gets home from work the girls all can't wait to get some loving!
I love this picture of Molly - she took it herself!
My 2 little ragamuffins! Nice hair!
Annie loves to dress Ellie up in fancy hair bands! Obviously Ellie doesn't mind it so much!
Sticker girl! Auntie Ann brought Annie a sheet of stickers and she made good use of them. She woke up the next morning with stickers in her hair!Next weekend is Ellie's big day - she is finally being baptized and we are so lucky to have Uncle Ig here to do the ceremony. Auntie Beth is coming in on Thursday and more than ready for her role as godmother. Uncle Colin was born ready to be a godfather so we are all set. Oh and thanks to Auntie Ann who gave us a turkey a while ago we had a big turkey dinner tonight with Auntie Meg and Uncle Tim - life is good!Good Night All!
GNM - ILY!
