I went to the movies!!!

One of the people I met at the CLSC suggested I go to the Movies for Mommies this week. Although I have swimming on Tuesday mornings and although I have heard negative things about the Movies with Mommies, I decided to give it a  try.  Boy, am I happy I did!

Indiana Jones was the movie.  It started around 10 am which is a great time for Evelyn.  She is amazing in the morning.  When the movie started, I wasn't sure she was going to like it.  She got kind of squirmy, but that was about it.  She needed to nurse and after she did, she fell right asleep.  I got to enjoy the entire movie uninterrupted!  

Up next week:  Sex and the City!!!  No swimming next Tuesday, I'll be with the "girls!"

On another note, we are going camping on the St. Jean Baptiste weekend.  This requires that Evelyn has a passport.  I have heard horror stories about the number of pictures babies need to have taken before a good one is taken.  Well, thanks to my Bumbo chair an
d my little champion, it took a total of ONE attempt.  Yes, that's correct, ONE picture was taken!!!  I was in shock...  Plus it's cute!  Now all I have to do is get the guarantor to sign and the passport will be sent!  

p.s.  I love the Bumbo Chair.  It's awesome and Evelyn loves it!

Free time

When Evelyn was little, all I had was free time because she slept all day.  Now that she's five months old, she's awake almost all day and asleep all night.  She has two naps during the day, each an hour long.  This does not allow me to get much work done...

I am a garden girl.  I love to have my hands in dirt, planting flowers or vegetables or picking weeds.  This wonderful aspect of my life is on hold because my daughter doesn't like to be outside!  I have 4 yards of dirt in my driveway waiting to be put into the new gardens and I'm not sure when it's going to get done.  I have to dig up this plant and put it there and put these new plants here and the vegetables go there.  It's a puzzle I can't wait to finish.  

Let's hope it doesn't rain on my garden.
