The Daily Hailey

Today Dekker and I went to see friends. Carrie and Lucy. I haven’t spent much time with them recently. We keep missing each others on Sundays, and the Christmas season keeps everyone insanely busy! So it was sooo nice to catch up with them!

Lucy has absolutely grown! She crawls and babbles and makes all those hilarious farting, rolling sounds with her mouth. I sat on the floor with Dekker in the living room, and she crawled right up to us and tried to pull up on me. Dekker had a container of Cheerios is his hand. Lucy reached for it, and Dekker just pulled it away and started crying and fussing. He is shy and hesitant around new people, but that was a little over the top. However, he stayed away from her. It made me laugh how afraid my macho son was of little Lucy. But she never hesitated. She just kept coming back for more, smiling away.

When both kids were napping, it was great to just catch up with a friend. we talked Christmas, kids, movies, etc. Nothing too crazy heavy or anything. Just girlfriend talk. It was perfect.

When I got home, Brady and I opted for an easy and delicious dinner and made a frozen pizza. Let me tell you guys, Bruschetta pizza. Its on a garlicy crust and is amazingly flavorful! Some salad and chips on the side made for a super basic but super yummy supper. Deks was tired by 8pm so we gave him a bit of milk and put him down. He didn’t make a peep. And now the bath runs.

One more fun thing happened today! Brady dragged our old Grand Prix to the town mechanics shop. He’s going to check it over and see what needs fixing on it and basically help us decide if its worth cleaning up and trying to sell, or just dump it. So many new parts went into that car before we gave up and bought the Mazda. And its sat in our driveway laughing at us ever since. I honestly am hoping they just decide to dump it. My hearts desire is to never see that car in my driveway ever again.

Time for a bath and M&Ms and milk. Tomorrow – Thursdate with my mom!
