Flat Princess has been missing from action for awhile, but she finally arrived at my house in good condition last week - crossing the ocean from England. I've been anxious to have her visit me, and we've been busy this week. If you would like to have her visit you next, please let me know so I can get her sent on to you.
Our first adventure together was a good Monday morning work-out at the gym --
We came home full of energy, and she snuggled up on the couch with the littles for a bit of a t.v. break --
We went to Sam's for some shopping - poor Princess was left in the car accidentally, but if she'd been with us, she would have been sharing a hot dog with the twins --
She watched me obsessively filling bags and recycle bins and garbage cans with "stuff", per the 40 Bags in 40 Days challenge. My office/playroom was a large challenge, which is not quite finished yet. But the kids' part of the room is looking much more organized --
One tub has been designated for the girls' writing and art work. Miss Care Bear is an avid book writer, and has probably 50 under her belt so far. Many of them have been written and illustrated at my house, so I keep them all. Someday I expect to say, "Yes, that's my granddaughter, the famous author, who got her start at age 5." Abigail Kulay is the heroine of many of those books - here is the latest -- Abigail Kulay Goes to a School of Bugs.
One day Princess went to lunch at Subway with DC and me ---
After lunch, we headed over to my parents' place - they recently acquired a DVR, but couldn't use it because the tech who came out gave them a two second how-to "lesson" . Hard as it may be to imagine, I am the DVR expert in our house, so we stopped by to try to help. It's a different company, but I was able to figure out the basics ---
It turned out that Mom needed help with her computer and printer, so while Dad and I were working on his issues in the living room, Mom and DC were working on hers in her little computer room --
DC and I are working on the Easter musical with our choir at church, and once again we need to memorize the lyrics. One beautiful evening, we headed over to the lake, parked the truck, stuck the CD into the player, and sang through the music.
Soon it was too dark to read our music, but it was a great way to spend the evening ---
Friday evening was the annual Talent Show at the big girls' school. There were 44 acts (Yep, 44!!) of 2 minutes each - that's a total of 88 minutes. Blessedly, our girls were #4, so we didn't need to stay forever. They were jumping to Taylor Swift, but for some reason, the music was on much too low to be heard. But it was fun to watch them with CB's friend from her class. (They decorated their own shirts.)
So today Flat Princess went to church with us. She posed with Kristen, in the crabapple tree outside the breezeway. She also posed in the sanctuary just before the worship service (but she isn't sitting too well on the edge of that pew!)
This afternoon we had a shower for the next baby to enter the nursery, to make Sandy happier (see previous post, if that makes no sense to you).
At the end of this beautiful day, before the sun went down, the Princess enjoyed the first flowers of the spring here in Loveland, Colorado, in our back yard.
Remember - let me know if you'd like to have Flat Princess visit you. Have a wonderful week!!
