Well, Matt and my dad are off to the airport. Maddy is still asleep and I'm making a cup of tea. I think we all had a very nice time. Maddy really warmed up to Grandpa this trip. She snuggled him and sat in his lap. She gave him hugs and kisses. She even ran up to him wanting to be held. I know she really enjoyed her time with Grandpa. We did a ton of hanging out this trip because Maddy is sick. I didn't want to really take her anywhere where she could expose her germs to others or get new germs while her immune system is down. But hanging out is fun, too. There's not a whole lot of go, go, go! It really gives time for people to just 'be'. Of course, towards the end of the week Maddy was going a bit stircrazy, but well. Her cold is still in her nose a bit but has now traveled to her chest. So I'm hoping it will work it's way out over the next day or two. My cold is much better and Matt's cold is, too. Here's hoping Grandpa doesn't get it!
We did a few productive things over the week dad was here. We attached the china cabinet to the wall and moved one of our gates so it locks in front of the the stairwell. Maddy loves having free reign of the entire house now. The dining room was always off limits because of the cabinet. Now she can roam wherever she pleases. Of course, our deck door is off the dining room so she now knocks at the back door wanting to go outside. I had to move some stuff around, but for the most part, the dining room was pretty much child proof. We did take the leaf out of the table and moved out two chairs so that gives her a bit of play space and I brought back up her table and chairs.
While cleaning out my china cabinet (what a tedious task) for them to move off the buffet I remembered that I didn't have the coffee pot to my china set and told Matt that one day I'll need to buy that, just so I have the set. Now, the last time we used our good china was at least two Thankgivings ago, so it's not like it sees every day use. But, well, Matt said, "Honey, we've been married for six years. So this project started six years ago. If you want the coffee pot, just buy it!" So I did! Grandpa helped hand me all the china and tea set pieces to put back in which saved on at least a little time.
Our new grass out front is really coming up nicely! I've gone to watering the backyard every 2-3 days instead of every morning for 20 minutes. It doesn't need it anymore. I'll be thrilled since we won't have to cut it as often! The front new grass still needs to be watered daily though. Grandpa helped water, too.
We played a lot of Wii sports after Maddy was down for a nap or bed this week. It was pretty fun.
Matt has off today, but I don't know what, if any plans we have going on. I think I'd like to get out a bit during her nap, but we'll see how that comes around. I've been thinking about buying a few things.
Ok, off to get my tea that should be done by now.
