4:55

I meant to post this blog last Wednesday, but I was busy last week every night. So, why the title of 4:55 you ask? This is the time that Luke got up from nap last Tuesday. Let me just state, he starts his nap at about 1:30 & usually wakes up around 3 - 3:30. I was shocked! The teacher said she tried waking him up around 2:30 to go potty, but he didn't wake. So, he went 3 1/2 hours at nap with NO accident!! We were so proud. :)

So, you ask why I was busy every night last week. Well, I was going to clean my house last weekend, but got pre-occupied by other things (of course they were more fun than cleaning). So, I did a little bit each night & was too tired to sit down to think of some things to write. The great thing was I didn't have too much to clean this weekend before I had some friends over on Saturday. Plus, a bonus is that I don't have much to clean for next week when we're on vacation & getting our new flooring.

So, I had some friends over on Saturday. A group of us get together every few months to hang out at one of our house, no husbands, no kids, just a chance to really catch up. We usually go out to eat, come back, put our pj's on & have a few drinks while chatting & playing some games. It was my first time to host the slumber party. We also celebrated Missy's birthday (which is next Saturday) at my favorite Mexican restaurant, Los Rancheros. Very yummy food & enough that I have lunch for tomorrow. :) We usually get together for each others birthday.

My parents had Luke for the weekend. They enjoyed it & I know he did too. He likes going to mama & papa's house because they usually spoil him. :) They were kind enough to bring him back for us today. So, I made dinner for them, my sister, & Papa Choo-Choo (my grandfather).

So, tonight Erik & I are catching up on some shows that we taped on our dvr, Luke fell asleep around 6:30 & seems to be out for the night. I'm in the process of doing laundry for the week. We have another big week as we prepare to leave for our road trip vacation next Saturday. Since we are getting new carpet laid in our bedroom, we have to clear off all surfaces & the floor of our closet. Needless to say it shouldn't take too long, but it will take time enough. I'm taking Friday off to get things ready to leave. We're kennelling the dogs in Delphi to save some money for the week. The nice thing about where we kennel them in Delphi is everything we pay for extra at our 'normal' kennel is free, extra attention & bath at the end of the week. I'm so looking forward to vacation. :)

Well, hopefully I will be better at posting this week. Hope you all had a great day & week! Until tomorrow...
