the block's asked, a while back, if they could take the boys up north for the weekend. it sounded like it was going to be quite an adventure, so joshua and i agreed to let them go. A WHOLE WEEKEND AWAY...i was excited to have the "time off," but nervous about having them so far away (i.e. what if one of them got hurt?). it worked out perfectly, though, because i had 273 pages left to read in my book for book club by tomorrow night.
the boys are all set to go on a road trip with g'pa and g'ma block!
look at all their healthy treats.
and tons of books and clipboards of paper for drawing.
g'ma and g'pa excited to take the boys on a mini vacay.
joshy helping me put the girlies away for the night. abraham is usually the one who handles that. hahaha.
joshua came home after school to change and eat before he was off to see the PIXIES at the mesa amphitheatre. they were playing through the whole DOOLITTLE album! after he left i started having second thoughts about me decision to not go. am i really that lame that i would stay home and read instead of going to see a show? i think in the back of my mind, what it really came down to was money, and our lack there of. the whole computer virus really set us back and was intirely my fault, so if someone had to stay home, it was me. joshua had to use money from his "plasma cutter" fund to pay for his ticket and, honestly, i'd much rather see BUILT TO SPILL in october. i'm already missing grinderman in november because we just don't have the dough right now. i love the pixies, but i got into them around the bossanova album which came out after doolittle. anyway, those are my excuses and i'm sticking to them. having watched some youtube videos of the event, i am definitely kicking myself now for not going!
*joshua was so cute and called me during "here comes your man." he held the phone out so i could hear:)
**joshua also called me at one in the morning to pick him up from the light rail. i wasn't expecting to have to get him, but it was a nice little break from my book which was getting a little intense! the book had me a little jumpy and with no boys making noise, every time the air would turn on or the wind would blow leaves outside, my heart would race. it was nice to finish the book with him beside me. even if he was sleeping.
