was quiet but nice. One of my friends,
who I have known since I was 9 came
up from Atlanta with her two kiddos
. Her older one is 2 and the baby is
8 weeks. We met at another
friend's house, who I have known
since I was 10. She has a daughter
10 days older than Kit.
It was really nice. We drank coffee
in the morning and munched on fruit,
had pizza for lunch and they had a
small icecream cake for my bday
and got me a gift. It was bath
gels, cream and soap in cucumber
melon from Bath and Body. I LOVE
that place and never spend the
dollars on myself.It was really nice hanging out. I do
not get to see them often and all
the kids got along SOOOO well. It
was really weird tho having all our
kiddos play when we were kiddos
ourselves when we played and got
into trouble. Heck, I remember
stealing cigerrettes from Atlanta's
mom's bag and then going into
the woods to share one cigerrette
between us. The code word was
SLEDING because when you are
a kid, everything has to have a
code word, LOL!We first became good friends when
we were assinged together in the
5th grade to do a report on Alberta
Canada. I think I still have the end
result somewhere around here, lol!
Of course, true to 5th grade fashion,
we would get together to work but
ended upn gabbing for hours instead.
I think in the end, we had to
scramble at the end but still got
a B, so that worked.Ten days older than Kit's mom
also had Easter baskets for all
the kiddos, which they all LOVED.I think I monopolized Atlanta's 8
week old, but no one minded.
Boy did it feel good to old a little
tiny babe. She nestled her little
head against me and that was
that done, lol! When the kids were
eating, I had Sam and Kit in front
of me in chairs as I stood behind,
holding the baby. Atlanta kept
asking if I wanted her to take
the baby, but I was like NO WAY!
She laughed and said she was
taking advantage of it then.
It felt good holding a baby while
taking care of the kiddos, very
natiural. And Baby Kit was
actually ok with it. At one point later, he came over
to be boobed while I was holding
the baby. She was sleeping, so
I just moved how she was
laying and he got comfy under
my shirt and grabbed his snack.
One nice thing about nursing
an older baby is that they can
get the All-You-Can_Eat-Buffet
themself. Of course, this was a
short time, but it made me feel
that I can really handle 3 if and
when the time comes.Later that night, we had a quiet
evening. Ben had to work late,
but we had celebrated my bday
the night before when he was
home taking care of me after
my back thing. He got me a
beautiful necklace with the kid's
photo etched in it and their names
on the back and a ton of starter
soil and seeds for my garden. I
also got a new watering can and
spray mister, Of course, I had to
start planting immediately and
now our bedroom looks like Old
MacDonald's farm, but in 6 weeks
it will all be outside in the ground.
What can I say? I LOVE making
things grow. I shoulda been a farm girl....
