An Expert Cleaner in the Making

First off- Happy Mother's Day to all you UK and Irish Moms, Mums and Mas. For some reason, this holiday is celebrated on a different day (sometime in May) in the US so lucky me, I get to celebrate two. Hey- you would too if you could! My mom treated me to an AMAZING massage at KnotStressed yesterday and this morning Freddie woke me up with a lovely bouquet of flowers and a homemade card. The best!

We had a busy day yesterday when we realized the new baby's due date is 3 weeks from Monday. YIKES! How did this happen???? So, the three of us spent the afternoon "nesting" (aka guilt-led dusting of the entire house for fear of the new baby hacking on a dustball). We also washed the windows which, literally, brightened our day. They've never looked better!

Freddie was a BIG help. He was very interested in the squeegee and handed it to William and I when we needed it. He also spent a longgggg time (45 minutes!) wiping down his own kitchen. Thanks for the help Fred!

That's right - he just doesn't wear bottoms anymore.

There's a new doc in town

Freddie and I had a great morning driving (yahooooo!) to story time at the library and back. It didn't even deter us when we had to park about a mile away. Still worth it!

Of course the box was a major hit, too!
We got back around noon and had only been in the door a few minutes when there was a knock. Freddie was sans trousers (and undies) - for the sake of toilet training purposes - but we rushed to open it anyway.

As usual, it was the postman. It's rarely anyone else during the day and even though we probably get packages weekly (love me some Amazon), it's still very exciting. He shoved a MASSIVE box into the flat while I signed for it and Freddie was instantly begging me to open it.

My bagel was in the toaster and his lunch was half made but how soon they were forgotten. We opened the box and, to our delight, found two costumes in it for Freddie.

One was a construction worker's outfit, complete with a hat, goggles, fluorescent vest, hammer and saw, and the other was a doctor's coat, stethoscope, surgical mask and that thing that doctors hit against your knee (anyone know what the heck those are called?). 

I had to tear Freddie away from them twenty minutes later so he could eat lunch (probably the fastest consumed sandwich in history) but managed to snap a few pics first. The great thing about a construction worker and doctor is they can apparently share gear. I guess you never know when a surgeon might need a hard hat!







THANK YOU NINA!!!

Happy Paddy's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! If you're Irish, or simply like any excuse for a par-tay (one of the reasons I'm proud to say I'm American), you're probably boozing it up and doing an Irish jig right now. If you're 22 months old, you celebrate by wearing green and rolling around in a bean bag chair. Here are some pics of Freddie, our little leprechaun, kicking up his heels for his Irish roots:





Big thanks to Nana for the outfit!!
