These are pretty much all the pictures I took this weekend. I didn't get the camera out much, even though we got to our MN home late Thursday and didn't leave until 11am on Monday. This time she remembered the house & where all her toys were. We got to MN around 10pm, but since we had to wake her up (she had only been asleep for 30 minutes anyways) to bring her in the house and change into her jammies, then she got all excited because she remembered where her toys were and her room. So, she didn't get to sleep until around 11pm.Friday, I went to visit a bunch of friends at OHS. Things are different there now and not in a good way and I should count my blessings that this change was made. Friday afternoon, our friends Rhynda & Charlie came over for a playdate. And then Friday evening, when Isabel was in bed, we went over to our neighbors, John & Cindy, and hung out with them. Our baby monitor is strong enough that we can take it with us and hear her if needed.
On Saturday we went to visit our friend Linda, Morgan, Nick, & Preston over the lunch hour. So, more play for Isabel. Daddy went & got the car washed and hung out at the local Harley Dealership, which happened to be having an open house so daddy got free lunch. Anyways, he picked up up at 12:45pm and Isabel fell asleep almost instantly in the car. She did transfer ok and fell back asleep when I brought her in and took almost a 2.5 hour nap.
That evening we met out friends, Carrie, Kyle & Gavin and April, Jason, Kallen & Noah at El Tequila for dinner for mommy's birthday. Then all of us came back to our place for drinks & some chocolate mousse cheesecake we got from Harry & David. Our neighbors, John & Cindy joined us with their nieces they had over. So, it was a big ole party.
Sunday: After Nap
Well, Saturday night ended up not being sogood for Isabel. She ended up puking and there was a lot of laundry to do. We kept things pretty low-key all day until we went to Chuck-E-Cheese. Well, we did go have an early lunch at Timberlodge, but we didn't stay long because Isabel was so squirrely. Since we didn't have any food or condiments at the MN house we ate out quite a bit. We decided to treat our long weekend there as our spring vacation, since due to circumstances we can't afford to really go anywhere else. But it was nice.
Sunday: Before the Meltdown
Well, we only lasted at CEC for about 1.25 hours. The above pictures are taken on one of the little rides that takes pictures. Anyways, we were joined by family (Dave, Candy, Tony & Carol) and our friend Jessi. Isabel pretty much refused to eat anything and just wanted to play. It was not a very good time. By this point she was very irritable and was having trouble communicating what she wanted and there was so many people there and it was so loud. It just was overwhelming to her, on top of feeling sick. So, we had many screaming fits until we decided to call it quits and carry our screaming child out of there. She did have some fun, but that was overshadowed by all the screaming.
She was still really irritable on Sunday morning and the tiniest thing would set her off. But after a while, daddy did get her to finish her breakfast and we finished making the place tidy, and were on our way. We were sure we were in for a miserable trip, but thanks to the power of technology and the purchase of a portable DVD player (after the last MN trip), she spent quiet time watching her favorite videos then taking a 2 hour nap & waking up to want to finish the video she fell asleep to. So, it was a decent trip back. She was still irritable last night, but seems in better spirits this morning. Hopefully that lasts.
