Hi everyone! Two weekends ago, I went to a friend’s baby shower – she’s having a baby boy in July. Oh – and get this. Can you believe Zachary got sick again (fever) this Sunday? Good news is that he recovered quickly. Hopefully no one caught anything from him Saturday because we went to a BBQ at a friends house. They cooked ribs and it was SO good. As in, better-than-restaurant good. If their baby gets sick, we probably won’t get invited over anymore and that would be very bad.
Here is a story. When I was younger, I’d wear really strange clothes because they were a good price. I specifically recall some purple and teal jeans for $3 each. When I complained to my Dad, he told me,”These are Gloria Vanderbilts – it’s a good brand. Wear them.” I swore I would never do that to my own kids … but the lure of a good sale is hard to resist. So Zach has lots of 2-piece sets, where one piece is missing. And while $2 for a piece is a great deal, it is hard as heck to match. This specific outfit Zach is wearing is really bad. Many people mistook Zachary for a girl – and most people were pretty confident too. I think it’s because of the shelf bra. We finally took Zachary to get a haircut (his second!) to make him look more boyish.
For Mother’s Day, I received a cork board with a hand print on it from Zachary and a spa gift certificate from my husband. Then we went out to eat (Saturday night because we can’t use the Entertainment card on Mother’s Day/Sunday… is there a theme here?)
As for houses … we found something I like, but it’s on .13 acres which is pretty small. Plus, it costs $700k, which is over our budget. California is just too expensive! And to top it off, we can’t find daycare. James called all the daycares in the Folsom Yellow pages and nothing was available except one place that did not have a kitchen (We’d have to prepare snacks and a cold lunch for Zachary.) Plus, they let the kids watch videos. Bah!
