Relaxation Ahead

In 24 short hours I will hopefully be here:

Floating on a tube...with nothing but my own thoughts to distract me...

No whining (at least none that I'm responsible for), no lunch making, no diaper changing, abundant amounts of sleep, adult conversation, and fun nights out.

The only thing I'm sad about is that I'm not taking this trip with my hubby. We could really use a trip away together, but of course this is really not in the cards for the next couple years. 2 kids are an acceptable amount to ask grandma/grandpa to watch for the weekend...3 might kill them. So, for now, we will resort to seperate vacations. Jon is planning some huge exotic trip into the Amazon or Australia for next summer. One where he can grow a beard, sleep under the stars, and remember his adventurous side. I prefer to lay on the beach and drink fruity beverages.

I did venture to get a spray tan to even out my tank-top farmers tan and I must say I'm kind of orange...yikes. I hope after I shower today it will kind of tone down a little. My body is OK, but my face looks like Magda from Something About Mary. I didn't really realize it until Hannah asked me if I fell on my face.

What else? Mr. Jacob is rolling all over the place and reaching for everything. He continues to be an amazing sleeper and for that I must thank Baby Wise...the best book ever written. And maybe formula too. Not to mention his very mellow personality. Whatever, I'm just really glad to be in the land of the Sleeping Thru the Night...for the most part.

Hannah has been reunited with her friend Spencer, who has returned from summer camp and Calah is talking so much now. Her words include: mailman, poo-poo, more, out, elbow, juice, milk, bath, ball, truck, pool, phone, mama, dada, Hannah, baby, uh-uh (shakes head no), uh-ha (shakes head yes), bubbles, shoes, snack, mmmmwwwa (kiss)...lots more I can't think of now.

Sorry for the boring update-type blog. I've worked 5 out of the last 7 days and haven't had much time to be creative.

Positavid of the Day: Every morning the girls get into Hannah's bed (now complete with tent) and read books together. I love listening to their imaginations!
