nothing really

I'm not bragging, it's more of disbelief really, but the baby slept for 12.5 hours the other night. Madness! I still haven't been out without her for more than a few minutes, except for once when I took the boy down the street to play with a neighbour and my mom watched the baby. She's so unpredictable with eating, I can't really plan for it by leaving bottles. I may have to break down and try formula with her, or I may not get to leave the house alone for another 6 months or so. Which isn't cool, really.

We're all holding up pretty well here. I went with my mom, grannie, and the babe to Maine, and it was good. I spent most of my exemption on other people, but that was mostly cause I didn't really want to buy a bunch of clothes. I can wear all my regular clothes now, but some of them give me muffin top, which we all know is just not attractive. Bigger stuff doesn't fit right, and I don't really want to buy things to fit for what I hope will be a short time, so I just won't buy anything right now. I got new sunglasses for me and the man, and some clothes for the little ones. Whee!

This weekend is the long one, and we're heading to my parents' cottage. It's becoming a bit of a tradition, since it's nice there and the long weekend gives the man the extra day off to make it a more worthwhile trip. We went for our "honeymoon" and then again for our anniversary, and had been there before that. I go other times, and the man tries to, but the August long weekend we always make it. My sister and her husband will also be in attendance, and I'm betting there will be bbq-ing and ice cream making. I might bring my ice cream maker so that we can make more than one kind, because we can never agree which to make.

I've made lots, the latest is strawberry. MMMmmm. It has like 6C of strawberries in it, which was less once blendered with cream, but still has a very high berries-to-cream ratio, which is nice. I only put about half a cup of sugar in, and it's damn tasty. Orange sherbet is next on the list, and then I'd like to try coffee.

Exciting, I know! I'm going to go check on the boy, I think he may have fallen asleep. I wish! This only means though that the baby will wake up momentarily. The boy is upset because I won't let him play outside in the thunder. Sorry dude.
