Well we had our annual family Memorial Day picnic at the park and it turned out to be really fun despite the wind. Hudson seemed to enjoy himself although I think he really didn't care where he was since he slept through most of it! Mike had a good time playing ball despite his inability to get some air off the ball which I think is sometimes better since those pop flys seem to get caught anyway! He is such a great ball player and loves it. I keep trying to talk him into joining a city team...maybe one of these days he actually will! We were glad to see family as it may be one of the last times we see some of them for awhile. I was bad though and didn't take my camera, the diaper bag is just out of control that having the camera in there sometimes is just too much!
We are starting to get down to the wire as far as packing goes so we are going to be working on packing a bunch of stuff again. I must say I hate packing and I almost enjoy that "last minute throw whatever you have left into the box and label it random" type of packing. It goes quickly and it really doesn't seem to matter much if all the kitchen stuff is in one box or mixed in with bathroom stuff because you are unpacking all the boxes anyway. Its like just get it all in boxes and get it out of there so you can be done. The only thing I care about is that things don't get scratched or ruined, not too much to ask I would think!
Mike told his work today that he was leaving. I think it was bittersweet for him since he loves it there and has promotion potential but he just feels like law school is the right choice for him. I woke up last week panicked that we were making the right decision. I think I freaked Mike out since I am usually very stable in that sense and he wasn't quite awake anyway! It was pretty comical really.
Well today is pretty mundane really. I think Hudson is getting sick or trying not to get sick because he just seems to eat and sleep more than usual today...especially sleep and is a little whiny which is totally not like him. He is asleep right now actually so that is kind of nice. I was able to get the laundry done and trim this bush down out front which was seriously out of control! Yep, I have some pretty hefty tasks to do! I am going today to order cake for his blessing day and that is about all there is on my agenda!
So I guess I have decided that the only thing I miss about going to work is the adult conversations you have. I miss just chatting or joking around with people. I do it with Hudson but he really is not much of a conversationalist yet. Just a lot of cooing and an underlying laughing sound that comes somewhere down in his throat, which although very cute, doesn't give me much to go on! But I will be spoiled having Mike around in Kansas before he starts school on the 13th of August. I think we will have about 7 weeks together from his last day of work til his first day of school! I am so excited. We are making plans of things to do in Kansas so that should be fun. I am excited to just go exploring. Well I guess I better get going and go fold that last pile of laundry...I hate how it seems to just keep nagging at me in the back of my mind!
These are a few pictures of our place in Topeka. We actually haven't gotten the okay on it yet but our background check is almost done and I seriously am doubting that there will be any problems. They are older but they are a coop housing so you pay a chunk to get in and then pay hardly anything for rent. It should be a good setup since it has a lot of room, even a basement. There is hardwood floors all upstairs and the two bedrooms and a bathroom. Then there is the kitchen, family room and another bathroom on the main level. Then you can use the basement as another living room place or storage and the washer and dryer are down there. I am super excited about it! Mainly because we can paint or do anything like that we want....I am already planning some painting projects!!
