FROM POSH CAMPING:
Friday night when SB and I were suppose to be gearing up for our last on-line adoption classes, the girls ambushed him. After they finished eating dinner, they immediately got on their pjs and got their sleeping bags. BB even made sure that she put on daddy's favorites, even though they are too small. They wanted to sleep in the playhouse or as Fancy Nancy would say do a little posh camping. SB along with Granddad, Papa and the Uncles built the girls a playhouse several years ago. It is complete with electricity and heating/cooling. You wouldn't think that you'd need that much stuff for a simple overnight in the backyard...wrong.
They needed air mattresses, sleeping bags, pillows, books, leapster, crayons and paper, Nitendo DS, DVD player, movies, lovey, special blanket, laptop, ipod, eggshell mattress, small air compressor, bottled water, a couple of stuffed animals - you get the idea :) And, yes it was raining, so SB had to make several trips.
The girls were so excited. AB even wanted to take one of the Ehtiopian books that we checked out from the library to look at. Daddy didn't have a chance!
Their bliss lasted till about 12:30 am. AB couldn't sleep with BB moving on the make shift bed SB made - 1/2 air mattress and 1/2 egg shell foam. She had gotten the crease, and it wasn't working. By this time, SB's air mattress had partially deflated, so he decided to call it a night. Poor BB was sleeping fine, but still had to get up and come inside. O-well, we'll have to figure out a different arrangement for next time.
TO CULVERT CREEKS...
On Saturday, after SB's great Aunt Helen's 90th birthday party, we headed to Mt. Juliet to visit some friends. SB's Aunt Helen is an amazing woman. After lunch, she had to be sure that she reapplied her lipstick. I just love that!!! Anyways, we arrive and the girls immediately want to play in the water. It has been raining for what seems like weeks and the little creek behind our friends house is more like a river. So...we tell them that they can play in the little creek instead.
Yes, the little creek is runoff from the culvert. That's fun here in Tennessee.
Our friends have 2 beautiful girls, Carson (7) and Cate (5). They all play so great together. It's too bad that they don't live closer. Our friends also suprised us with a donation for our travel expenses for when we travel to Ethiopia to pick up our son. It won't be long! Yeah!! We are so blessed to have such a wonderful support group. Everyone is eagerly awaiting the arrival of baby boy Bonner.
