The Three of Us

The Mister called at 6:20 this morning to let us know he made it safely to Italy.  He is going to take 2 hour nap and then I’ll call and get all of the details on his flights over.  I already know that he had a mechanical on one of the flights that kept them sitting on the plane for over an hour..bummer.

Did anyone see the sunrise here in the Rocky Mountains this morning? OMG..Oh my gosh….amazing.  The clouds were gigantic rolling plumes of hot pink highlighted by a glowing orange and just the finest etching of deep purple around the curves of the clouds.  The colors changed in a matter of seconds to platinum and gold with an indigo background.  Like I said…amazing.

I took the youngest to a Rollerskating birthday party yesterday and the oldest and Jennifer came along. They all skated for about 2 hours and then enjoyed some pop and pizza followed by cupcakes and ice cream.  The hosts were gracious enough to offer for the older kids to partake in the festivities and the kids happily accepted.

When we came out of the Roller Rink the snow had started.  We came to our house first, but the oldest and Jen were lobbying hard to go to her house and help her mom paint.  They did and my plan was to get going on this mess, but the youngest had other plans for us.  Games and a Movie. The youngest was lobbying for the oldest to sleep over at Jen’s, so that he could have a night alone with mom…not going to happen….

I ate something…coconut or walnuts that a had an allergic reaction to, so at 8 I took an adult dose of benadryl.   I was fast asleep on the couch with the youngest sleeping on top of me.  We did not hear he doorbell or the dogs barking or the oldest coming in through the garage.  Very Scary!  Hopefully the fire alarm would have done the trick.  This morning the oldest told us that while he was sitting next to us on the couch he got an idea…he went to the kitchen, got a bowl of warm water and put his brother’s hand in it.  He thought it would make him pee.  Happily for me the experiment did not have the results he was hoping for.  Whew!!  Can I just say in the future I will only take a child’s dose of benadryl.  The itching in my ears and throat did stop, but so did my hearing and that is never a good thing.

The boys are both up…I thought they might sleep past 7 a.m. but no such luck.  I’ll try to come up with something fun to do in the snow today.  There is enough snow that it must have covered the hill at the school quite well.  Maybe I’ll sled with them and take the dogs..We’ll see.

The house is still a mess although all of the Christmas decorations are put away, the dust bunnies and muddy paw prints are all around.  Bob and Fred…the fish…are in need of clean bowls…every three days…and I have 4 loads of laundry to put away and no drawer space to put it in.  It’s a good day to sort donations.

Time to make breakfast and a couple of pots of coffee to keep me going as fast as the boys. I’ll update you on the Mister tomorrow.

Love to all…Go Broncos…Go Green Bay…Go 49ers…

God Bless;
