and then I dropped my phone in the toilet...

We had a rather lovely weekend.  Almost.

Friday night we had homemade soup (reheated from it's frozen state) and followed that up with a trip to Gypsie Joes to kick off C's birthday weekend.

We woke up to super slippery roads on Saturday which caused the Holiday Parade to be delayed a bit.  But Monkey and I bundled up and walked the block and a half to the parade and thoroughly enjoyed it.  We were thirty minutes early, but Monkey didn't know any different as she pointed out every single car that passed ("Look at that one, Mama!"). 

When the cop drove by signaling the start of the parade, Monkey managed to have a nice little convo with him.  It went like this:

Monkey (waving): Hi!
Mr. Policeman: Hi!
Monkey: You're driving a police car.
Mr. Policeman: Yes I am.  I like your hat.
Monkey: Thank you. It's a monkey.

In case you hadn't picked it up, she's rather verbal. She loved the entire parade.  If you ask her what she saw at the parade she'll tell you, "all of them."

C and I went to Easton to celebrate his 30th Birthday (he's old).  Dinner at BD's (we had a coupon) and dessert at Godiva (where we spent more than we did at BD's) followed by a stop at Starbucks and some Santa shopping.

Sunday (C's actual birthday) went a bit differently as he spent the entire day pulling up the tile in our kitchen (poor guy) in preparation of installing a new laminate floor (go big or go home!) with his dad this week.

That brings me to my next (or first?) point.  I think I'm beginning to have a bit of anxiety about not having a floor on the first floor of our house.  I blame it on the baby coming. But seriously, I'm counting down the days until the floor is installed and things can be put back.  I need order (but have no energy to create that order).

So there's that.

There's also the fact that I feel rather pregnant and didn't remember feeling like this before, but then I read my old posts from when I was pregnant with Monkey and realized that I felt the same way then (plus have a two year old now). So that helps.

Then last night, I dropped my phone in the toilet and the bag of rice method isn't working. C says that doesn't help me in presenting my case for getting a new $300 phone.
