It's Been Awhile, Again!!!!

We just returned from a week at my mom's house. We all had a really good time. At first, Abby was nice to her cousin, AJ, but toward the end of the week they were at each others throat!!! It was my fault though. We had slumber parties... one night it was at AJ's house and the next night it was at Mimi's house. I think that they just spent too much time together.

At the slumber party at Mimi's house, while they were talking in bed, waiting for Mimi to bring them their "people" to sleep with. I overheard AJ say that if Mimi didn't have to take chemo, she would go alot faster. Speaking of that, when Abby first saw Mimi with her scarf on she was a little confused. She knew that it was Mimi but didn't know where her hair went. She is still talking about that. She said that Mimi has sparklies on her head, cause there is still a light layer of hair (kinda like if you don't shave your legs). Abby had a good time putting Mimi's turban on her head. Then finally she asked Mimi, "Why does Mimi have no hair?" Sha baby!!!

AJ really enjoyed Ryan, too. Ryan is his only boy cousin, so they have a little bit in common to start out with. We went to the bowling alley one day and while I was helping Abby bowl, AJ was looking after Ryan. He was really helping me out. Only Abby would freak out when Ryan got anywhere near the approach. (I think that is what it is called.) Abby bowled a 45 (with my help). I think that she had a good time, only a 10 frames of bowling is a little long for a 3 and 4 year old. They got tired about halfway through, so I did more bowling than I thought I would.

After all that, and the long trip home, we got to spend the whole weekend with Papa. We really had a fun weekend with him. We got our Direct TV system put in on Saturday. I really haven't gotten a chance to play with it except for recording a movie for Abby (which we didn't watch yet), but from what I have seen Papa do with it was pretty cool. There special included the NFL Sunday Ticket and he was watching 8 football games on the screen yesterday. I thought that was pretty cool. Not that I would be able to pay attention enough to watch 8 football games but it is cool for him. Even the HD is so much better than with Charter. When I canceled Charter, they asked me why I was leaving and I told them that we had just installed Direct TV and she asked me why. I told her that basically I didn't want to pay them for stuff that really didn't work all the time. So then she backed off asking why we didn't want to get our telephone through Charter.

Anyway, enough of the rant, wasn't I talking about the wonderful weekend that we spent with Papa. We really didn't do much of anything but we spent alot of quality time together. Last night, I was changing Ryan's diaper and he kept rubbing his eyes. I asked Papa what time it was. Well with our Direct TV box we no longer have a clock on the box, so he had to look at his watch. Before he could tell me what time it was, Abby runs into the room and says its 8 o'clock. Papa looks at his watch and says she is correct to the minute. It was exactly 8 o'clock. Crazy girl!!! But I'm not so sure it was a coincidence. She is pretty right about a lot of things but I can't say that she knows how to tell time. Maybe she has an internal clock.

Anyway, my peeps are about to wake up. Gotta go be a mom!!!
