August in Albuquerque

[elmh23]

Playgroup at my house.

small people should NOT wake up all hours of the night to practice rolling/creeping/singing

[elmh23]

no they shouldn't.

[Blue Lotus]

Well, we won't make it after all Miss C caught the sniffles/cough last night and I don't want to spread any germies around.

[crazydiamond]

N is exactly 4 mos today! My oh my he's gotten big -- though still not as big as little C

[a-sorta-fairytale]

crazy - cant wait till you can come back to pg. The babies are too cute together - C and M just chatted it up today - um, before they both started pawing at each other. C has 3 little M claw marks on his cheek

so mno next week - wed/thurs work best for me but i can figure it out if other days are better for other peeps. lets get this figured out - we wanted to do a sewing day.

Little c is such a different guy. I was looking at big c's baby diary and it says at this age she was:
self feeding with a spoon (messily though)
pointing to pages in a book babbling (i have that on tape - very cute)
turning those book pages one at a time
holding her own bottle
taking her diapers off
saying mama
reaching for me

doh - little c doesnt do any of that - but there is no mention in the diary of how nice she is ...though there is meantion of her "willfullness"

All of ds dairy entries are about how sweet he is and how snuggle, easy, lovey he is.

[elmh23]

I posted in the other place about MNO. That way we don't violate anything reguarding co-ops.

The fact that you keep a diary is enough! At 4m, S was happily sitting with me but if I left then she'd scream and puke. Little S would take off accross the room without looking and rarely nursed so there was really nothing to puke. Babies are so different! I swear Little S learned to crawl so early to get attention :

I can't believe the babies are getting so old, it's just not fair.

Poor C's cute little face, maybe it will give him some street cred I'll check out the other place I think Wednesday would be best for me.

[doularn]

We are back in two days !!!! Then I have to work like a dog again. I wonder if I can make MNO I'll check over there.

Just got back from my ocean !!!!! Liam learned how to boogie board and "wipeout" on waves. Chloe knows how to build a sandcastle. And they both learned about the boardwalk. Oh yeah, more outlets. Whew !! Three days with kids at the beach whipped my butt. Man it was fun.

So what I learned is that I would drop everything to move back here. However, family and friends here think I am such a hippie. Which I find pretty funny since I am probably the most mainstream of this group out in Abq.

And I'm having anxiety about coming back to NM, starting third grade and working again. Got a migraine and a crying spell over it today. What a mess I am

SEE YA SOON !!!!

[Eman'smom]

We'll get you through. I was searching out lake cabins in upstate NY the other day. I was actually laying out a "workable" floorplan for a 250 square foot cabin


I do miss the east coast but I fit better here (at least that is what I tell myself)

[doularn]

Well I had my "day before going back" breakdown like I normally do. Now I'm scampering to get all the shoes, clothes and toys that are all over the house back to a suitcase with all the stuff we bought. My brain is starting to transition back to New Mexico. Just checked in for my flight as the clock turned the minute of our flight and I am still number 36, 37, 38 to board...

Eman, did you register E for school last week? I am going straight there from the airport tomorrow (they know we were out of town). Did you need any papers? Call me on my cell if I need anything other than myself and half a brain. Did you get a school supply list yet? Friday is my only day off before school starts so I have to get it all done then.

Do we have any plans for Friday?

And Eman, I guess I do fit in better in NM, however if plane fares go as high as they expect we are all gonna be trapped here and that jsut won't work for me. I need my yearly east coast fix and ocean infusion.

[a-sorta-fairytale]

doularn - cant wait to see yall again :

so monday no open gym

wednesday do we want to do a pool or a park or the jump place or what?

wed night mno

friday?

we should schedule a play date at that gym place soon

we should also figure out when los ranchos pool closes so we can do the pizza and pool thing.

eeeep! summer is almost over!

[Eman'smom]

Corrales right? Not Los Ranchos?

Ok I just hit a button on the laptop and lost a whole paragraph about the beach and plane tickets. Anyway school reg was fine, 3 long pages that were all pretty much the same info, no need for anything special. Supply list is on the website and at reg. If they are serious about notebooks without perferationsthey'll need to tell me where to get them. The list was pretty basic.

[a-sorta-fairytale]

duh - yes corrales

[doularn]

Last year I got them from Staples. DH said L's teacher called today and wanted to know how the summer reading project was going... LOL.

I AM SO NOT READY FOR THIRD GRADE !!! Okay i had to get that out.

Hey I have to take L to NACC and then C to school on Monday (its the first day there so I am sending her so she starts with the other kids even tho I am off). Wanna go out for breakfast afterwards? I'm gonna need some mama time. What is R doing for preschool this year?

[Eman'smom]

MWF 9-11:30, I could do breakfast afterwards, I'd have both kids though.

[Anodyne]

Thurs. MNO I play soccer on Wed.

[KermitMissesJim]

Y'all can come swimming at my house on Friday if you like.

[elmh23]

Is Thrusday good for anyone else? If it is, then if Anodyne would give me a ride, I can go.

I vote for swimming at Kermit's on Friday Dh is supposed to be taking the day off (BIL is coming down and they talked about getting together to do something with their dad) so he could drop me off. If he doesn't take off, maybe doularn or Andoyne could pick me up?

[a-sorta-fairytale]

would love to swim at your house and meet your sweet boy kmj

I think wed was the best day - more post on the other board.
