I know I have been kind of a blog slacker lately. Its not that I don't have anything to write about. I could write about how accident proned I am (smashed my finger may have broken it, fell down the stairs and jammed my toe all in one week), or I can write about our wonderful thanksgiving we had with Randy, Ann, Todd, Ashley, Toby, Ben, and chase (or Addi as Addi called him apparently she is not as smart as we think every little kid is Addi). I even have pictures, but they are still on my computer. Oh well sometimes a girl doesn't feel like blogging, but tonight I do so I am going to do a bit of rambling. It is 11:30 on a Saturday night and I am all by myself. Why? Because my husband forgot he told a co-resident he would cover their call this weekend and he has been called 3 times today. The co-resident hadn't been called once all week or once the last time she was on call either she is lucky Jared not so much, but we love her anyways and she babysits Addi for us so I will forgive her.
As for the accident proned thing mentioned earlier I have recovered from falling don't the stairs and my toe seems normal, but my finger is still messed up and it hurts when I bump it. I went to the doctor the day after Jared stepped on it because I thought maybe it was broken. They didn't x-ray it and said it would be fine come back if it gets worse. Well, the bruising went away and the swelling went down but I can't straighten it all the way and my upper knuckle seems bigger than normal, but not swollen. I am afraid I will forever have a messed up finger and it is my ring finger so I haven't been wearing my wedding ring for a few weeks.
I got a flu shot and still got the flu although it didn't seem as bad as when I have had the flu in the past so I guess it was worth it. So far Addi and Jared haven't been sick so that it good.
Addi is obsessed with her daddy. Almost every morning she asks if daddy is home which is usually isn't, but the other morning she oke up a little early and Jared was leaving a little later so he was home. She was so excited, but the was so upset hen he had to leave a few min later. It put a damper on her whole morning I am so glad Jared usually leaves before she gets up Addi doesn't do so well with goodbyes.
I know you are all probably sick of me telling you how smart Addi is but my 20 month old talks in sentences and has been for about a month. They may not be really sophisticated sentences but at least she is putting words together. Last night after reading her 3 stories she picked up another book and said "I want one more, please" it was so cute we had to read another one. She also says "where is Tito" or "where is daddy" and then exclaims "there he is" when we find them or "I don't know" if she doesn't know where they are. She is also obsessed with owls lately I don't know why. She always looks for owls in the trees when we go outside. The other day there was an owl on Barney which only heighten her obsession. All day she kept saying barney owl barney owl so we spent our afternoon watching owl videos on you tube.
We got our first snow tonight and it was kind of exciting although I know I won't feel like this come February. We opened the curtains to show Addi and she said "Wow" and then wanted to go outside. We took her out on the deck for a min but none of had shoes or a coat on so we will have to see if it sticks around to do some playing in the snow.
Well thanks for listening to my late night rambles now I can feel like I accomplished something blog wise this week.
I did convince her to get bundled up and go outside to check out the snow, but she wasn't so sure at first.
But then she warmed up to the idea and didn't want to come in. We had to come back just to drop Tito off because he was freezing.
Addi calls gloves hands and we can't leave the house without them. We were about to go out for the second time today and I wasn't wearing gloves Addi started freaking out yelling hands hands until I figured out that I was not wearing my "hands".
Addi now likes to get bundled up to go outside, but she still doesn't quite know what to do in the snow.
When I finally made her come back inside she wouldn't let me take off her snow clothes so she watched cartoons in all her gear.
Jared's birthday started a couple of days early when Addi and I made special treats to take to Jared's work.
We made chocolate suckers in the shape of teeth. And took them to the hospital to share with everyone.
That weekend was also his program directors birthday so for the birthday boys I made made a set of chocolate dentures.
On Sunday Jared's actual birthday we had a little birthday party for him and had his co-residents over to help him celebrate. I made cake balls for the first time (thanks Katie for teaching me) and they were a great hit.
I also made cupcakes with cute little cupcake toppers. I decided I prefer cupcakes to making a whole cake. They are easier to decorate and easier to serve at a party.
But you can't fit 29 candles on one cupcake.
