Saturday

Today was a real busy one, that's for sure.  But, most of the day (thanks to WiFi!) you were able to follow along.

As previously mentioned, I woke up wide awake at 5:30 AM and laid in bed for about an hour or 90 minutes and apparently fell back to sleep because I didn't wake up again until 8:30!  Didn't think I'd need the alarm today to make it to Tae Kwon Do at 10!  

Nevertheless, we did get dressed, eat and make it with plenty of time to spare.  Amelia had "dulce de leche" cheerios and loved them.  Jeremy stuck with PB.


We left at 9:23 and arrived at 9:48 for TKD.  Before the doors were open.  I think I told you all the interesting stuff from Class.  Larry was kind of a boring teacher, but MR. Larkin was hilarious and A&J loved being called "the experts" since everyone else working with them was new.





After TKD, we got changed (putting on jeans in the car) and went to Corroploese.  That was not the plan, but it won out by popular demand.  I got a roast pork sandwich and A&J had tomato pie while we drove to Oaks to see Beauty & the Beast (and Tangled Ever After) which began at 12:35.  Brrrrr...it was a cold one today.  Only got up to 34.  Tomorrow's high is supposed to be 28!


We all enjoyed the movie.  A&J wanted candy not popcorn.  Amelia susprisingly picked Nerds and loved them.  Jeremy picked sour patch kids.  I had some sno caps for the first time in about 10 years.   The movie was remarkably empty.  Not sure that is a great sign.



We drove home through horrible traffic in Phoenixville (what's new?)  Then I spent some time straightening out and reconfiguring the living room.  Made a bunch of progress while A&J alternately played and fought.  Today was much more bickering than the previous days.  Maybe too much sleep last night.

For dinner, I cooked up the frozen pizza for them and I had some Tomato Pie.  Then it was off to Toys R Us to replace the toy Aunt Dangerous got Jeremy. Amelia also produced two copies of the same Tangled book.  I had already told her she could get a small "friends" lego so I told her we'd replace Santa's error on the book, too.  She chose a Barbie Mermaid.  So all in all we got 4 lego sets (buy one get one 50% off) and a barbie mermaid for a grand total of $22.  Not too shabby.  HEre's the loot (you will also see the pig heading off for her 234th drink, apparently these pills make her thirsty):


We also went to Target.  I got hair goop, peptos some organizer stuff for the living room.  When we got back, I assembled that while A&J worked on their legos.  Jeremy built both of his smaller ones and Amelia is about 80% done with hers.  She is so proud of herself and happy that she is doing it all by herself "My first lego!"  Every step she is done, she has to tell me about. :)  So, we got to bed pretty late, but it was worth it.  A full, fun day.

I also cleaned the pig's ears out because she was shaking her head (though she is still eating like a horse). I got a lot of blood and gunk out.  So, I am going to keep doing that and putting the Animax in.

Amber is probably glad she did not have to watch this Denver Broncos debacle.  Soon I am heading up the wooden hill to read my book and go to bed.  


I saw leif commenting on Chiang Mai - the world traveler is impressed.  We hope mommy had a safe flight.  Amelia really "hopes" that Mommy got a picture of the Rapunzel lantern, so if you see another one, get out that iPhone!  We miss you and love you!  Enjoy Hua Hin.
