Yesterday was busy! We went to see the Meade's new home. Josh enjoys running with Wil, they have fun being boys. Then we went to visit the Jennings at their hotel. We went swimming with Aunt Suzanne, Aidan, Tabby and Reagan Jennings, and Regina. The Jennings' new son is a few weeks old and very little. Josh is still sitting on the steps and not getting in the water much. Oh well.

Last night, we went to the twilight tour in Broken Arrow. We went with the Meades and the Meades in law. I think we kept them out too late, although not intentionally. You get that many people trying to look at new homes with a lot of other people and it's going to be crazy. I think that it was basically a good night for everyone.

I have been going to the gym regularly again lately, the other night I came back and was going to take a bath. I cannot take one without an audience. It is kind of cute though. Josh wants me to take a bath like he does. He'll ask me if I want to pick a color (bath tints) or if I want my toys, or if I want to paint Bob and Larry. Then he'll sit on the toilet seat like I do and "read" a book. I tell him to go play, that's what he tells me when he doesn't want me to be in there with him. He wants to stay with me.

We had a pretty good weekend even though Shawn wasn't home much. I can't even remember why it was good, except Josh was a good boy. We did have a problem with a cereal box prize. We bought some honey nut Cheerios and it came with a lightsaber pen. We happened to get a red one. Josh looked on the back of the box and decided that he wanted the blue one. I told him he only got one and it was red. He thought he could put it back and pull out the blue one. I'm very sad now that I read this that he had such a hard time. He was trying to be cooperative by putting the red one back. Now I'm depressed.

Playground all day yesterday! We went with Aidan in the morning. Josh kept looking around for him as he was not there yet. "Baby Aidan, where are you?" They didn't play a whole lot together, Josh is old enough to run wild around the equipment and Aidan can't yet. He was happy to see him though.

Then we went for a last trip to Austin's for frozen custard with most of the Meades. They are moving and I am sad. I'm acting like they are moving to the Ukraine or something and they are only going across town. Josh and the twins played on the playground for awhile after we ate our dessert. It was fun.

Later, Josh and I watched some of our video I've taken of Easter, Josh's marching band, and our trip. I am not the best camera operator there is and my commentary is a little interesting. Shawn is the household's videographer, he uses the fader and all that stuff. Of course, I'm usually filming while watching Josh and carrying everything and trying to take still pictures for my scrapbook. So, it's an excuse.

We went to the downtown library last night. Shawn wanted to go to a town meeting regarding the MAPS project, so I thought that Josh might like to go read books. HA! All he wanted to do was run around, look at the water fountain and type. An hour and a half (and many fits) later, we finally left. We did end up with 4 books on bugs and music and a bottle of water. Crazy kid.

We have been on vacation this last week. We had such a great time! We went to Dallas and then San Antonio. We ate out at Crystal's Pizza. It's a sentimental thing for us, we grew up with it. It is good pizza though. We ate at the Traildust restaurant, great ribs. We ate at EZ's burgers, Casa Rio on the Riverwalk, Willie's, Ruth's Chris, and of course, Chick-Fil-A. We went to Sea World, the Zoo, the Alamo, the Riverwalk, the Children's Museum, Game Works, and we played at the pool every day. If you want details, call me!

Josh knows how to make Kool-Aid! He knows how many scoops of sugar we need and he helps stir. He also picks the color.

Yesterday, I went to drop off some pull ups at daycare and he saw me. Yikes! He was not taking a nap and he was out in the front office. I hated to leave him again. Then of course at home, he was a bear since he didn't have a nap. He wanted to watch Bob, the Frankencelery one. Then I put it on and he says, "No, it scare me!" He's never been scared by it before. It was a mess.

Finally, Shawn came home and that helped.

At bath time, I was taking a bath first and Josh came in and saw a bug. "Daddy, come ere, a poly-oly! Poly-oly Daddy!" It was a roly-poly. They got it and flushed it.

We went to see VeggieTales Live on Saturday. We went with the Meades and the Moores. It was a lot of fun, I think Aidan enjoyed the most.

Shawn has been gone a lot the last 4 days and that has made Josh and I a little tired of each other. In fact, I needed a time out from life. But, through all of that, the fits, the crying, uncooperative stuff, Josh is my boy. I went to the store on Sunday evening, I was gone 30 minutes. When I got back, he was standing at the door and gave me a big smile when he saw me, like he was waiting just for me. It puts it all in perspective.
