Thinking About

. . . how excited I am about the hotel I booked for Savannah! They offer complimentary afternoon tea (sold!), a heated pool and hot tub, and we'll be just a quick walk away from great shopping and restaurants! Perfect!

. . . how much it irritates me when people don't watch their kids! We went to Chuck E. Cheese today with my moms' group, and one mom let her two year old wander around unattended nearly the whole time. The child spent most of the time going from table to table eating other kids' snacks. She came up to MF's baby and stole his fruit puffs on his tray and tried to force another kid's sippy cup in Olivia's mouth. Eeeeew! I stopped her before she could do it. Then, this other boy not affiliated with our group went around stealing tickets from people. I played several games of skee-ball (love that game!) and he tried to steal every ticket that printed as they came out. I had to push him away so I could tear off my tickets inbetween each game. He also stole my balls (haha!) and walked off with them. It shouldn't be my job to have to grab something out of a kid's hand! The other moms were warning each other to stay away from him because he wouldn't leave any of us alone. He followed me for an hour and not once did his mom check in with him! It ruins a fun time when you have to constantly monitor what other peoples' kids are doing! Some parents KILL ME! Makes we wonder if our organizer really said anything about monitoring our kids like she said she would? At least Olivia had fun. :-)

I just love her ears. They're like mine as a baby, but mine stuck out more!

Here's me and my puffy cheeks. My cheeks aren't even that puffy usually, but they always looks so round when I smile!

. . . how clever I am! Olivia has decided she wants nothing to eat but bananas. She screams several times a day and points to where our fruit dish is on the counter. Some days she eats two whole bananas. Can you overdose on potassium??? So, anyway, I decided to buy her the mini bananas. That way, she can have a few a day, and it's like she only ate one big one. Who's a clever mommy? (Actually, I'm really not. My grandma told me that my cousin buys them for his baby. HAHA!)

. . . what a little menace my baby has become. She can't even walk, but she gets into everything! I only turned my back for a SECOND! I was even in the same room!

. . . how cute my Livvy is!

. . . about moving my blog???? Still thinking. Leaning towards staying here I think. Too lazy to take on a second blog. Actually, it would be a third because I write at Mommy Musings too!

It is annoying when Mom's don't watch their children! I'm glad you & Olivia had fun though~and I must say, I LOVE skee-ball too~it's so much fun~when we go to Chuck E. Cheese, I always get Justin to give me 3/4 coins to play!

I wonder about parents too. Even with Quintus and Jason who are almost 7 and 5 (when did THAT happen!!??) I don't let them out of my sight...well at the rugby I don't have much of a choice but the have to "check in" with me every 10 minutes. But at 2! I would never ever let me kid walk around where I can't see him all the time

Thanks for sharing the pics, it looks like fun even with the annoying kid. The last time I went to Chuck E. Cheese was almost 2 years ago & there was a kid who came up & tried to steal our tickets when we were putting them into the counting machine. I can have a pretty deep menacing voice & just told the kid "I don't think so." He backed off & the girls who were with me got a really good laugh out of my defensiveness over our tickets!

That hotel is really cute. I haven't stayed there, but it's right on River Street. Make sure to take comfy shoes, and I reccommend staying away from heels...they don't go well with the cobblestone streets (take it from a victim!!)

Are you and James going or the whole family? I sent you emails cause I found it ironic in your choice of hotels.

I am still debating. I was hoping A Monday would still have shops open, but I'm tempted to stay a Sunday/Monday--gotta check Paula Deens hours...and print lots of maps. Gawd knows my sense of direction.

I missed the transfer fair last week. Oh well. Guess it's not meant to be.

That's the hotel we stayed at on our honeymoon! It was very nice! Savannah can be very *backwards* so take plenty of maps, and WALKING shoes. Oh, and bring your appetite. LOTS of good food to try!

It's cute that you call her Livvy! I wasn't sure whether you used that nickname or not! Cute photos!
