Swabbing the Deck!

SO my boys may or may not watch a great deal of Disney in the morning while I am still getting my bearings for the day and one of their favs is "Jake and the never land pirates."  My loving father in law came over a few weeks past and helped me get my house back into showing condition after the WHOLE house got the nasty stomach bug. While he was mopping the floors Micah yelled out Grandpa your swabbing the deck! Grandpa got quite and chuckle of out it and thought he was really cute. Well the NEXT time Grandpa came over  ( it's been a weekly occurance)  to help me out with all of the GUY odd jobs around the house, Micah very excitedly said papa will you teach ME how to swab the deck? So Grandpa and Micah swabbed the deck in the kitchen and the bathroom and even Riah joined in a for a few turns. It was VERY cute and hey I didn't have to do it so that was also a nice plus. I have pictures but un fortunately left them in Pueblo so I will upload them at a later date.

Grandpa also hung up Christmas lights out side for us and worked on my poor looking Christmas tree a little too ( I'm not a huge fan of making the Christmas tree look like a tree) it's too much work.

Again more pics for a later date.

This past weekend Grandpa, grandma and nana ( Grandma's mom) kept the boys so I could have a much needed girls night out and then I went and stayed an extra night as well. It was really nice to see the boys with their very beloved Nana. Riah LOVES to get in her lap and snuggle and cover her in wet slobbery kisses ( he really get the job done, holds ya down and everything) and Micah is mostly just getting used to have two grandma's in the same house. And Jonah really likes having another grandma around to feed him 24/7 whatever he wants.

I WISH I had pics of this because Riah decided he wanted to help to Nana in the kitchen and he had a blast with it, she was SOO good and patient with him, I need to read a chapter of her book when it comes to that. The kitchen is MINE and my escape or at least it used to be when Tom was here so I could cook dinner every night. But I supposed to it wouldn't hurt to let the boys in on all the fun once in a while too :)

I got another letter from Tom, which was nice since he didn't get to call this weekend like he normally does. I just LOVE my letters from him, it totally makes my day. I also wrote him one in a spiral, it was fun to write and made me dizzy all at the same time, i didn't read it first to make sure he could follow my craziness tho, hopefully he'll figure it out.
