Off To Steamboat

The Mister is already at the Gym and we are planning to be out the door for Steamboat Springs by 9:00a.m. We have a lot to get done by then.

The kiddos had yet another fun filled evening.  You see they had made plans with the neighbor kids and their parents to bring all of the fixings for S’mores to there house (they have a fire pit) at 6:oo p.m. The oldest also decided to bring hot dogs and buns for all and at 6:00p.m. the party started.  After the hot dogs and S’mores were all eaten up the kiddos sat down to a few games of Poker.  The neighbors are big fans of the game and they have the chips, cards and so on.  Night before last the kids were playing poker and came running into the house for hats with brims and sunglasses, so no one could see their “Tell”. Anyway they had fun and they were home by 7:30.

The youngest has been experiencing bad dreams again, ending up in our bed, sleeping sideways and interrupting the Mister’s sleep hourly and that is no fun for anyone. I am surrounded by pillows and still sleeping in an upright position…so I was none the wiser to our little intruder.  We’ll have to figure something out…the mister needs his sleep and since the youngest has described to me in detail his nightmares I understand his being afraid to be alone.  Also, as I’ve mentioned before…I too had nightmares as a child, sometimes my mom would have to come in and wake me because I was out of bed, still asleep and jabbering away.  Anyway, I believe he is having bad dreams…maybe we can get him to crawl into the other sideways sleeping munchkin’s bed and everyone will sleep well.  They are sharing a room in Steamboat…hopefully that will help.  The youngest has asked to move back to his brother’s room, but the oldest is enjoying his independence and will not even entertain that thought.

We have the next door neighbor girl watching the pups for the weekend.  That is perfect…she is able to come often and easily and give Aunti B. a break.  Although I am sure Aunti B…. loving our dogs as much as she does will come up for a visit.  Thank you in advance, Aunti B.

I am off to shower and pack…have a lovely day!  Two days until Grandpa Bob’s birthday:-)

God Bless
