My husbands dad came home from Argentina to spend about roughly 10 days or so with us. It's going by pretty quickly to and he has a lot to get down while he's here so we have to work as a team to help get those things done. Mostly trying to kick in more cooking and cleaning since there's another guy in the house.
So on Friday we went on our usual date and enjoyed going to Pickle Barrel and Cafe/sports bar.
They have the BEST fries in Georgia I've ever eaten. (sorry you haven't beaten out my ultra favorite Utah fry the Sweet Potato cajun fries)
They dip them in a beer batter and then deep fry the already fried french fry! It's pretty amazing.
Raine was in high spirits and enjoyed the lively surroundings of the people and of course the TV's that covered every wall. Some with channels featuring gold to others about fishing.
Our waitress was sweet to our baby and entertained her while we were waiting for our food when she could spare a moment.
I always leave a note on my receipts because I want to let the one's serving us how much I do appreciate there time and energy. Especially on a busy friday night.
I got WAY to much fried food for myself and I've never been able to eat it in abudance like my husband can. So I got a to go box and a greek salad to go. Which is my absolute favorite. If I was pregnant I couldn't eat it due to the feta cheese but thankfully i'm not this year!
Saturday we traveled about roughly 45 minutes to an 1 hour up to Eatonton, Georgia to visit my sister in law and her family. Now let me tell you, seeing all those "creeks" as my husband calls it, got me hyperventilating because i"m DEATHLY afraid of water.
That's another story for another time because there were many things that lead to me having such a great fear of water.
We arrived and got things together so we could go to Crooked Pine Farms to do a variety of events. From an egg launch to hay rides.
Doing the egg launch was AWESOME because I shot it the farthest...which wasn't the goal but I felt pretty good about it anyway. My brother in law was the only one out of all of us that managed to hit the target. Either way it was still loads of fun.
It was also pretty comical because my amazing husband was also trying to shoot his eggs pretty far. He dropped the same egg 3 times before he was finally able to see it soar through the blue skies of the south and almost hit the target. Reminded me of our wedding day when he was trying to shoot the garter he got off my leg. It also took him 3 times to shoot it. Twice in the face actually. Oh the memories....
Moving on,
We stayed for I believe an hour because the 4 children we had with us were beginning to tire. So we loaded up and headed back to there home.
We ended up staying at there gorgeous home until the late evening. We were watching the Bond movies which I had never seen and also spending time with them.
Sunday or yesterday, was St. Patricks Day. My husband and I had been practicing to sing in the choir for ward conference for the past couple weeks so my spouse was very excited for sunday.
I however was not looking forward to it. I DREAD being in front of people because I have become something of a introvert and don't like being in front of people or talking to anyone much anymore. So I wasn't looking forward to being in front of people. To tell you the truth I actually love singing but I'm self concious of the way I sound due to negative critiscm and my own awareness of how badly I sound. I go to choir to try and support my husband while also secretly trying to improve.
We got there as early as we could and sat up on the stands practicing with everyone else. We were able to sing the opening song and the prelude as the session began. I made my exit off the stage as I went outside the chapel because Raine was not going to last in the sacrament room.
I stayed outside the entire session and wasn't able to make it back inside due to her being extremely fussy and refusing to let me sit down.
Caleb even got stuck out there with me because I asked for him to help me with her because I hadn't eaten anything and was loosing energy standing and rocking. Sadly, he didn't get to sing in the choir and I felt AWFUL knowing it was my fault for making him leave the stand so he could come and help me. Seeing the disappoitment on his face was hard to see because I knew how much he had been looking forward to singing for today.
After the first meeting, church DRAGGED out and for me in a already sour mood from little sleep the night before, to not eating I could say I didn't want to talk to anyone.
The meetings went by though and thankfully Caleb held baby Raine so that I could get a break since she slept for a half hour during church.
After the meeting, the southerners like do a pot luck after there ward conferences so we enjoyed eating together.
My mother in law had come and taken the baby from me so I could eat because I knew my husband hadn't eaten that morning either because he was SO excited to get to church. That was nice of her to do that for not just me but my husband since we needed that small break.
After the gathering and my husband fulfilling his calling, we returned home and enjoyed the company of Caleb's parents. His mom had just gotten back from the airport earlier and brought her husband home.
Soon his sister and her family along with his brother and new wife arrived at his parents home so we could enjoy each other's company.
As we were all eating dinner, my brother in law and new sister in law announced that they had a mini weathers on the way and I am so happy for them! I love making things for my friends having babies so I hope that they don't mind me making them a bib or two for the new little one.
The rest of the day was nice with catching up and going on walks with the family. We all played games with the kids and made plans for the following week together.
My father in law got soccer jerseys for the youngest kids that are the opposing teams and they fit perfectly. Raine is looked so stinking cute!!!!!!!!
My daughter was so exhausted from the events of the day that she went to bed at seven which is unheard and didn't wake up til 3:30 am the following morning.
Which leads me to today.
My day began at 3:30 this morning due to my daughter getting a full 8 hours of sleep and not in any mood to go back to bed.
I was to tired to try and stay in there and keep her company so I put her back in her crib with a pacifier and hopped back in bed. Around 5 am my daughter (still awake since 3:30) began screaming frantically. I threw on a robe and dashed into her room and found her legs stuck in the bars of the crib. Now I have a bumper that goes in and out of the bars but she managed to push it down and get caught. She tried getting herself out but only made the problem worse by twisting herself to the point that if I left her like that for much longer she would have popped her legs out of place.
The crib is pretty old so things like that are bound to happen.
Sadly since I had been up for almost 2 hours, my poor husband was woken up by all the ruckus from my daughter. Upon coming back from my daughters room, there was a small roach on the carpet and I HATE bugs. Roaches are new to me and I don't like hearing the crunching sound when they get squished. Plus I didn't want bug juice on the carpet. I put a glass over it and since my husband was coming back from the kitchen after getting a glass of water, I asked him to dispose of it.
He didn't want to but being the person he is, he helped this "damsel in distress" and got rid of it for me. That little adventure ended up waking up my mother in law because when he went to put it in the toilet, he thought the bug had gotten out of the jar and onto his hand. Thus leading into him trying to get rid of it and the glass jar bouncing and hitting a few things in the bathroom. It even startled me because I thought he had tripped.
When coming to learn that the "roach" he thought had escaped was just a string attached to the jar.
Poor caleb...
I didn't end up really sleeping til almost 8 am. I slept in til 10:30 am and Raine I'm guessing had woken up at some point before 9 am but I was to tired to get her so she went back to sleep on her own and didn't wake up again til 11 am.
So my day half gone, I started on my chores and the daily routine with Raine.
It is now almost 6 pm and I just finished with everything I needed to do. My hubby will be home shortly and I can't wait to see him since he leaves at 7 am every morning.
