We had a nice long weekend this weekend. Lots of time to spend together, and I think we really needed it...it seems like there's been a lot going on lately and not a lot of together relaxin' time. Then we cleaned. yay. We've gotten really behind lately...just feeling lazy I guess. Getting things sorted out in our heads not in our home, apparently. And now we have to start the packing thing, cause soon enough we're moving into our new home, the May's old trailor. I'm pretty excited to have all that space, but I so do not want to pack again...what is it, every six months I move??? okay not quite, but it feels like it. I feel for Megan, and am so glad I don't have that far to go, and I only have one kid to keep track of...and about 1/4 the amount of stuff I'm sure she's got.
Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

How about you come up here and I trade you some tooth extractions for some moving help?
