This summer is shaping up to be an interesting one. We have quite a few major events lined up (move across the country, have a baby, visit lots of family... you know, that kind of stuff) which is providing us with extreme highs and lows in our schedule. This week is mostly full of lows, until we trek up to Idaho this weekend. So, on my list of things to do today: get the oil changed, go to Baskin Robins 31 cent scoop night, and mail a birthday present. Check, check, and check.
The following items were not on my list of things to do today, yet they managed to squeak in:
1. Wake up at 2 AM. Combination of Leah crying, bladder screaming and baby boy bouncing, plus a brain that doesn't know when to quit, make it impossible to go back to sleep until 4 AM. Ugh.
*Unexpected result: Jason made breakfast while I slept an extra 15 minutes. Yay!
2. Make a sock puppet. Caterpillar inside, butterfly outside, very cute.
*Unexpected result: I managed to drip scalding hot glue from the hot glue gun onto my finger. Ouch! But, in a total mom moment, my first thought was, "Thank goodness that didn't happen to Leah". Still... ouch!
3. Take a long walk around the block after 31 cent scoop night in an effort to burn off some of the sugar just ingested by Leah before bedtime.
*Unexpected result: We stopped and played with the delightfully large family that lives just around the corner. Four kids under 7, with another one due the day after me. Have I found an answer to our long summer days? And a baby buddy, too? Let's hope!
I guess, at the end of the day, I'm just glad to have days that aren't 100% scheduled. The end.

I want a Leah. She is just too cute for words!
Oooh, we went to the 31 cent scoop night too, and it was delish!
Miss you
Hey Melanie! I just wanted to say that it was fun seeing you even for a sec last week at graduation! And I think I am the most behind on blogs person on the planet, but I just got caught up on yours, and congrats on having a boy! You'll love it! I may be a little biased though. Congrats to Jason on graduating, congrats on getting accepted to Purdue - wow, so many things going on! You've got an awful lot to look forward to these next few months!
