So, here we are in Maine. It has rained yesterday, froze overnight and then snowed today. We went On Christmas Day to my mom's in NH and had a wild, frenzied present opening session with Emily and Nate. They exhausted me just by being near them. Em was gifted a keyboard which came with a microphone on a headset. She entertained us by beatboxing and singing.
We spent the night there and survived. Ella or more less slept the way she normally did (or sometimes does) by doing a 5 hour stretch followed by 2, 2 hour stretches. The next day we packed up again and headed on to Maine. Las night Ella only slept for 5 hours again, but then she did a 4 hour stretch which was lovely. Except then she was pretty awake and it was only 6:30am. I was not thrilled, but we both eventually went back to sleep for another hour.
Today's snow didn't stop us from venturing to North Conway to do some shopping. It was Ben's suggestion, and when the man indicates an interest in going shopping, one does not say no! We got him some new clothes and came back tot he house and threw out two huge trashbags of old, old clothes. I'm not saying he suffers from hoarding, but he is a definite pack rat. Who needs the gigundous J.Crew shirts you wore senior year of college???? I only hope the interest in purging continues when we return to our own home.
Tomorrow we venture back to the great state of MA and return to normal life. Ben is off this week and then goes to FL for a wedding so I'll fly solo for two days. I'm hoping Kat is going to come stay with me for most of the time so I don't A) go crazy and B) get wimpy about being a mom.
Hope everyone is enjoying the season!
