Minnesota for Thanksgiving...Idaho for Christams

So, we're planning for the holidays, of course. For Thanksgiving J, M and I are going to drive to Minnesota and stay with my mom for a couple of days, and my sister for a couple more. We plan to leave Wednesday after J gets off work and drive straight through to moms, pass out, and then get up and eat turkey dinner prepared by my wonderful sister Erin. We are all looking forward to this trip and visiting everyone, even Emily will be there! (of course, megan lives there.) On the other hand, I was saying very little about it to M because I didn't want to tell her no every day that we were not going today. As could be expected my family was not as close-lipped and every time M talked to one of them on the phone it was "are you coming to see me? Are you ready to come and play with ___" (fill in the blank with someone in Minnesota!) So now, almost every day, M says "Go see Grandma JO? Go see aunt Erin? Go see aunt Megan? See Cara & Gillian??? I ready. Lets go! I excited!" And I am left to burst her bubble everytime, saying, "no, baby. Not yet. we still have a MONTH left!!" fortunately, now its only a week.
After that trip we are going to drive to Idaho for christmas and stay for a week to visit J's family....and hopefully Emily too. In any case...we're gonna be really tired of driving!

I am really sad that we are going to miss you at Thanksgiving and Christmas. So that just means you need to come visit again.

what do you mean "hopefully Emily"? how could you be so close and not say "definately Emily"?

Stranger Danger

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.

End of the week

This week has been lots of fun. J's mom, step-dad, sister and nephew all came to stay with us for the week. We've had a lot of fun visiting, playing games, and swimming. I'm so glad they came to visit us, aaallll the way from Idaho! We're lucky they had the time and all came! They are leaving in the morning because his step-dad has to work sunday afternoon! Crazy wonderful people. On another note, tomorrow J and I will have been married 3 years. I can hardly believe it's been three years....absolutely wonderful. I have never made a better decision in my life!

bribe

We had a fun weekend - we went to the zoo which was having family fun day, and then we went to the dog show (both of which were free). Then on Sunday we went to Greg & Robin's to see their new puppies, and they are stinkin' cute! And Greg BBQ'ed for us - yummy! At one point, while we were hanging out at their house, Robin sat down on the couch and asked M if she was gonna come sit by her, and M said: "I will sit by you if you get me a drink of water." (as she was climbing up on the couch next to her). And this would be the first time I have heard her use a bribe (and certainly not the last) - I told her maybe she should ask instead and she got embarassed.
