Other stuff ...

I just realized when I reread my last post that I never said what we did on the 4th. Some of our friends have a pool so they had a party. All the kids had a blast swimming ... and by kids I mean guys ... and the kids of course!! ha ha ha! It was a hot day but a lot of fun being out by the pool. Megan actually got in for a little while but neither James or I had our suits with us so we stayed close to the edge. I don't do swimsuits around other people. I'm not sure Megan knew what to think of the whole thing and it was time for a nap so she wasn't really into it. Later, we played a little Rock Band. That game is SOOOOOOO COOOOOOOL! I'm ready to go out and buy it all right now ... the game, the guitars and drums and the PS3 to play it on. I only did the drums a couple times but I am absolutely hooked! We headed home early because we wanted to get Megan to bed at a decent hour ... and we wanted to beat the fireworks traffic too. It was a great day and I really like it when the 4th falls on a Friday because we had the whole weekend after that. :-)


This past Saturday we went to see MIL's new house. She's moving up here to my mom's neighborhood in a few weeks. We only found out, through her realtor about a week ago, that she had decided to buy this house and she wanted us to go see it. She hasn't even seen the house yet but it's new construction and just what she needs. It's a nice place and it is only a few minutes from our house. It will be good to have both of Megan's grandmas so close. All kinds of babysitting options for us! hee hee! It will be good to have her out of her house in Houston because it's not in the greatest area (not much of Houston can be considered a great area though, right?) and now that we're up here, James isn't there to help her with stuff around the house if she needs anything. She's being really weird about the whole thing and it's getting rough but it will be done soon enough and I'm betting things will settle back down sometime.


We found a new routine we really like for Saturday nights. We actually went to the Vigil Mass at 5:00 then went to dinner. It was perfect timing for Megan's schedule and fun for us. We hit our new favorite pizza place which is right down the road. It's a BYOB place and almost everyone there had a cooler with them so we'll have to remember to pack something next time. I've been to BYOB places before but have never actually seen anyone bring any B!


My mom is finally home from Estes Park where her friend is a Ranger at Rocky Mountain National Park. She got to enjoy some cool mountain air while we were here sweating to death and going broke paying for air conditioning. We went out to lunch today. I have missed Mexican food, though I guess it was good to take a break from it for a few weeks. Today I had a taco salad that had queso on top. I'm sure it wasn't very salad-y but it sure was yummy!


That's all for now. I think it might be time to get some stuff done, other than blogging, since the little Moo is napping. She's just getting huge and more and more active and she just wears me out! Maybe I need a nap! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Megan loves terrorizing the poor dog!

She's also learning the finer points of the sippy cup!
