Randomly I Roll a Long...

I really like this picture of my mom watching Baby Boy's silly antics. She and my dad could not come to visit today. My dad took a fall yesterday in their parking lot while carting groceries into the house and hurt his ankle. So, he is home with his leg up.

Those two.

They just CANNOT stay put. I have told them, and my sisters have both told them, to let us know what they need and we will BRING IT TO THEM. But, I think at this point in their lives they are driving each other nuts and just WANT to get out.

And now for the happy news! When I checked the washing machine last night we had water! Hooray! The pipes have thawed. They were frozen since Sunday night, but with only THGGM and I here I could only come up with two loads of laundry. TWO LOADS. Oh, the days I dreamt of are upon me!!! I remember in the days of yore when the entire basement floor would be knee deep in dirty clothes and I would wonder if it was even possible to catch up. Now I know that it is.

And now for an observation. Baby Boy entertained himself for thirty minutes today in his Pack-N-Play by playing with a baby wipe. Only a baby wipe. It seemed it could be used as a blanket, a doll, an airplane a car, and also he had a delightufl time washing down the rails along the top. He sang to it, he cuddled it and he scrubbed his head with it. His mother, at that same age, would have swallowed it whole and flossed her insides with it.
