Camping

This weekend we went camping. Asa and I drove down Friday afternoon with three friends from church. James left after work with some other people. We got there and set up the tents in the dark. I was thankful that it wasn't raining and the ground was dry when we were doing this. Asa just sat quietly in a little high chair we had borrowed from some friends while we set up the tents. The rest of the group (14 in all) got there by midnight. The first night went really well. Asa slept the whole night in his pack and play. It rained during the night and was still raining when we got up Saturday morning. Everyone but Asa and me went canoing. The trip was 15 miles and took most of the day. Asa and I just hung around the campsite. We played, sang songs, took naps and just had a nice relaxing day. By the time everyone got back from canoing, it was dinner time. A couple guys started a fire and we had hamburgers and hot dogs. And who can go camping without s'mores? It was a lot of fun. Asa had a little trouble falling and staying asleep the second night. I didn't get much sleep either. I couldn't believe how awake he was in the middle of the night. Everyone was very surprised at Asa's overall laid back attitude. He really wasn't fussy much and had fun in the outdoors. That's a good thing about him, he will go wherever we take him and usually is happy just to be with us.

Veggies

Asa had green beans for the first time on Friday. He gaged. To which James said, "Good boy!" I quickly told him never to say that again to Asa. We don't need two boys that don't eat their vegetables. Video will come soon!

Chips

Asa was playing with a bag of tortilla chips. James turned him around and moved him away from the bag. A little later he was back "hitting" the chips and trying to eat them. Now we just can't leave anything on the floor in the living room if we don't want him to get it.

This is a picture of my cute little baby sleeping in his high chair. I should have left him there because he didn't sleep very long when I moved him to his bed.

An Attractive Yard

I have seen neighbor kitty in our yard several times this spring. When we were outside last night, I discovered the reason why. It's prime location for fresh food. I first discovered a dead robin. Later I saw a big pile of fluff. James said it was a rabbit. I don't know if the cat killed the bird and bunny, but I bet he had some to eat. Especially the way the bunny looked.
Also last night, I heard the neighbor kids playing in the front yard. It sounded like they were very close to our house, so I looked out the window and saw them playing on our front steps. They played there for probably thirty minutes. I didn't know what to do. James said just to let them play. I just hoped they didn't fall and get hurt. As long as they don't come and play in the house for hours, I'm ok with it.

Oh What a Clumsy Morning

Yesterday morning I was making breakfast as always for my husband before he goes to work. I was stacking up some dirty dishes and broke a glass. I thought it was just on the counter, but then stepped on a piece on the floor. I then spilled the grease from the skillet on the counter and the floor. The clean-up is still not complete. (Let's just make sure everyone knows this happened around 6:15 AM) After I told James about my problems, I was taking a drink of water, had a little problem getting it down and spit it out all over the both of us and the floor. I decided I would make myself a cup of hot chocolate and hope it didn't spill, which it didn't! I guess sometimes you just can't be smooth enough in the early morning hours of the day.
