Today I

- Woke up @ 6:30, showered

- Sliced a banana for C 2 go

- Got C dressed

- Picked up my parents and took them to the airport

- Admired this stunning maple in our yard



- Put C down for his morning nap

- Ate bagels and strawberry cream cheese with D and talked (well, he ate fettucine alfredo)

- Took a mini-nap with D

- Went out to the garage to watch D work on this and try and understand what he's doing, but wasn't very successful



- Found something for Crosby to eat

- Took C outside to watch the neighborhood cleanup trucks make noise and drive around

- Called Rosy and sang Happy Birthday

- Called Pat, made sure he's on for tomorrow

- Basked in the glory of more of our AMAZING landscaping and laceleafs that we have the privilege of enjoying every day



- Played outside with Croz and his bike

- Took C to D's mom's house so she could watch him while we get things done

- Came home, packed some more for Cleveland

- Cranked me up some old school Dixie Chicks



- Had to cancel going to see tulips at Thanksgiving Point with Marsha and Janet because I have too much schtuff going ):

- Got Steve to fax an auth form to the hotel because he rocks

- Chatted with Jess for a minute

- Started to make chocolate chip cookies for D's work friend but we had about 10 total chocolate chips

- Walked past this stuffed tiger that my 10-yr-old cousin Jamie bought Crosby at a yard sale on Saturday (How do I clean it?!)



- Ran to the store for chocolate chips

- Continued making cookies, but needed an egg

- Thought I had to go to the store again, but looked in the tenants' fridge downstairs (who happens to be in Africa right now) and stole an egg

- Finally finished the cookies D wanted me to make for his work friend's birthday and ate too many of them



- D and I went to his mom's to pick up Crosby

- Made sure Steve is still on to house-sit for us

- Put C down for afternoon nap

- Walked by these and got excited for Croz to have his first swim in a real pool!



- Got toys, books, etc. ready for C to have on the plane

- Took another very mini nap while C was still asleep

- Talked to D about what method he is using to fix his truck problem and it involves JB Weld



- Talked to D about what errands I need him to run, how many keys we need made, what kind of camera battery, etc.

- Told Christina I'll be late to rollerblading

- Gave Crosby Motrin because I knew he was in some serious teething pain

- Turned Croz over to D

- Met Christina at Liberty to rollerblade



- Got a call from my mom and dad that they are safe in Cleveland

- Talked with Christina for a while

- Had an impromptu photo shoot



- Got home to find Croz and D outside waiting because Croz was so sad

- Fed Crosby dinner

- Put Crosby to bed while picking up last-minute things out of his room to pack for the trip

- Insisted that D go sleep since he is going to Mike's midnight birthday party at work tonight



- Ate a really tasty sandwich

- Realized how lucky we were to have a whole entire day together

- Now I am going to step away from the computer while my guys are sleeping and finish all my schtuff
