Monday Moments

"Good MORNING from the quads!

After the 8 am bottle and spoon feed we sent Mommy off to get some work and exercise while Grandma gave us baths and recorded our weights!"

I posted this pic on Facebook.

I am certain all the folks were smiling when they clicked the 'like' button!

The babies were just adorable today. But they are every day!

Kailey peeking over the top of her crib.

The quads sleep two to a bed and it is more entertaining to watch them on the monitor than it is to watch TV.

They climb and roll and sit on top of each other. The babies are nearly ALWAYS reaching out to touch one another with a pat or a hold.

I must say they all play so well together.

If one gets interested in something - they ALL do!

I wear earrings and jewelry every day. 

I also try to arrive with make up on and hair combed.

It is important to me to look nice and I do believe the babies respond to 'pretty.'

I know I feel better when I am 'fixed up!'

Logan was especially intrigued with my dangling earrings....

so I put them on HER and held up a mirror so she could see.

I am one of probably a dozen women in the US who does NOT have pierced ears!

These comfy crocheted slippers were given to me by my oldest daughter, Summer, and they make me smile and think of her. 

Harrison seems to like them, too!

It was a good Monday in Quadville.

We noticed the wind continued to pick up as the day went on.

By the time we left around 4:30 it was blowing on the wild side!

I admit to being nervous about what we would find when we got back to the camper.

THIS is what it looked like this morning!

THIS is what it looks like NOW!

Fortunately nothing was damaged - just blown around.

We took the top off before the wind RIPPED it off!

I think Louis Dean has now fully figured out to secure the whole thing - but only by taking the top OFF in high winds.

We meant to come home and spend some time out there doing art and music.

Instead we hung out over at the rec building where I walked on the treadmill and read the paper.

It recapped the Oscars last night.

Amber had recorded it so this afternoon I had watched the highlights by fast forwarding it!

SO much nicer than watching every minute! EXCEPT - it didn't record the entire program!

That's why I read the recap in the paper.

Outside in a lakeside spot - visible from both my sofa where I was reading AND the treadmill I walked on -

- was THIS super cute teardrop camper!

We met the owners - a retired couple who had just returned from a cruise that sailed out of Galveston. 

They will only be here a night or two.

Usually they winter in Arizona but have spent the last two months in down south!

They gave me a tour.

As you go in the door the U shaped banquet seating to the left turns into a full size bed.

Under that window on the right is a counter that houses a coffee machine and below that a fridge with a clear glass door. Very little storage room as you can imagine but they have a good sized vehicle to store their clothes in. I saw the hubby getting a change of clothing from one of those blue tubs.

 ALL camper people have lots of TUBS!

When I feel a bit cramped I shall think about that very small camper!

Perfect for that couple but a bit smaller than I can handle!

I am not really complaining about the weather!

From what we've seen on the weather channel tonight - and heard from my sister on Facebook -

there is a LOT of REAL weather happening across our country!

I have a classical radio station playing while I write.

Louis Dean is listening to his music by headphones.

Our supper salad is ready to toss.

 A little reading and a glass of wine and we will call this Monday DONE!
