Day 339

December 5th, 2011

We had a pretty good day today. 

 

Snuggles this morning

 

Ready to climb

We got up and had breakfast and spent some time downstairs for a bit, and then it was time to head to the park with Kristen and Grace. We met Oliver and Melanie at the Tot Lot in Braxton Village. What a GREAT little playground! It's totally fenced in and has a ton of toddler-appropriate equipment. If we were staying here, we'd be going over there weekly. I hope there's something like this in Johns Creek.

We had a great time at the park and Melanie brought us some "Farewell Cookies" to enjoy. Gus REALLY enjoyed them. In fact, he was able to get the container open and helped himself to like six cookies. However, he only wanted to eat the yellow part of the cookie (so odd)... so he had six cookies with bites taken out of all of them.

 

Trying to get the cookies while no one was watching...

Best friends

 

Our last playdate in NC  :-(

 

Oliver and his crooked glasses (that's exactly how he likes to wear 'em)

The cookies with the yellow part chomped off...

 

Checking the package for his next cookie...

 

He probably had ONE cookie in all, but enjoyed eating the parts of each one

We got home around 12:15 and Gus was down for his nap by 12:30. He slept until just before 4:00. We had a meeting with our realtor (Stan) tonight and we have the paperwork ready for listing the house. It's so weird to think that it'll be listed this weekend. He's got a professional cleaner that'll come in and clean and then we have our handyman coming early next week to touch-up some spots on the walls and finish the molding on the floor. It should look nice once it's spiffed up.

I had a great night out with Kristen and Lacey. We went to the Aviator Smokehouse in FV and I had ribs, disgusting carrots, and some yummy mac-n-cheese. We stayed out laughing and having fun and when I looked to see what time it was, it was 9:30!!

I had to stop at Wal-Mart on the way home for a few odds-n-ends... that was my last trip to WM in NC. So weird. I was supposed to babysit Grace tomorrow, but I'm not needed, so instead I'll probably do some laundry and start to pack things for my car (clothes for a few days in case the truck doesn't make it on Saturday and other things).

It does NOT feel like December and certainly doesn't feel like Christmas is just around the corner. Could be from the 70 degree day today. I'm eager to just get the move over with... I'm starting to get anxiety and a lot of stress about it and I hate it. It's been looming since October and I'm ready for it to just be over and for us to get settled and ready for Christmas.

Here are some pictures from a year ago:
