Bread & Eggs

Today is not Nathan's birthday. But a year ago today we sure were hoping it would be. Actually, we were hoping for a birthday any day before . . . well . . . the 23rd. But the 23rd it was. I still believe he was waiting to become his true sign - an Aries. Time will tell if his traits are true to the stars.

Last year, not too long after Nathan's Birth Day, you may remember my first visit to the grocery store with child. Oy! I have since gotten the shopping thing with a kid down to an art now. At least I thought I did. Nathan has since gotten more and more anxious, fiesty and wiggly in the shopping cart. I often have to placate him with a balloon, cookie and bread samples, singing and dancing. If you are bored and want to be entertained someday - come grocery shopping with us! Anyway, this last trip was much of the same and so, bored and looking for something new to play with, Nathan's ever growing reach gets allowed his to reach back in the cart for a nice fresh loaf of bread. Sorry Leo. I hope you like funky-shaped PB&J sandwiches! He kept reaching and I was able to rescue whatever item he got. Until we were in line to pay. I was reaching for my wallet and he was reaching for the eggs. Yes, the eggs. He picked up the carton and the eggs opened up and fell into the cart. I was suddenly one of "those moms" yelling their kids names in the store. But, Nathan has Leo's luck on his side - not one of the eggs broke! I don't know how we got away with that one. Our cashier was laughing and so was I. But only because I didn't have to wipe yolk off my deformed bread.

In other events, this weekend wasn't what we thought it would be but it turned out ok. Brother Matt & Joey were supposed to fly in Saturday night to stay the week. Bad weather in NY foiled their plans. Booo . . . But Joey will be here tomorrow night. Yay! Poor NY'ers. We happen to have had a great weather weekend here. We took advantage of it Saturday and power washed the drive and walk ways in preparation for our Sunday Open House. It looks fantastic! Today we met Kerri, Rob and Logan at a park to enjoy some fresh air and get the boys together. Yes, there are pictures to come. They were cute together as always. Nathan loved the swings while Logan . . . well, he didn't seem to have an opinion either way. He was just chillin'.

This week is St. Patty's so I will be making some great food to celebrate and for Joey's visit. More cleaning to keep up the house and hopefully news on the new house/ moving front. Keep your fingers crossed! Pics and news to come soon . . .
