I am leaving Sunday morning, so tomorrow is my last day with Carol, Mark and the kids.
Mark is at his monthly poker game tonight and Carol and I spent the night scrapbooking after we put the kids to bed. I have gotten quite a few pages of the scrapbook done and supplies for my vacation one.
This scrapbooking thing is not something I thought I would enjoy, but it actually has been fun because it's a good excuse to go through pictures and remember stuff and express it.
tomorrow morning I think we are going to some dinosaur wold thing that the kids like. After that lunch, naps, dinner out and then they are going to mass, so I will go with them. After mass, Carol and I will go out for ice cream.
This trip has been wonderful. I realize to most it would have been boring, but I have had the best time spending time with Carol, getting to know her kids. Her oldest kids have the best personalities,they say the funniest things. Her son is very sensitive and loves cars and tractors, her daughter is all attitude and sass and loves playing dressup, being a girly girl and her baby doll. Her newest the baby, really doesn't have a personality yet, at three weeks old, she is still a loaf of bread, but she will get there. She's perfect. I took care of the oldest two while Carol and Mark took the baby to her 3 week checkup and I had the best time taking care of the kids.
This morning and afternoon. Carol, the baby, and I went looking for a dress for Carol for the baptism in her post baby body. We found a great dress for Carol. I found a designer purse at a great price and as a hemmed and hawed, Carol decided to buy it for me as a thank you for coming and helping this last week. She didn't have to do it, but I have to say, I love the new purse and I will switch my stuff so I can use it on the trip home. YAY! New Purse.
This trip has been great. Now, I am excited to go home. I miss Dustin like crazy. I bought his anniversary gift the other day and I can't wait for him to see it. It's hard to be away from him this long.
I can't wait to play with the dogs and go for a long walk in the country.
Life is good. Friends, Family...Life is a blessing.
