Swimming, buzzards, and Conversations

Thursday afternoon once I got home from work, we headed over to my parents to swim! It was another successful evening swimming without floaties for Adalyn. That kids just impresses me so much. For a 2 1/2 year old to swim on top of water to us after jumping in just shocks me. Landon just chilled out in his float for a bit before he started to whine. So he was passed around in the pool while we all swam and played with Adalyn. We ordered Boskey's and after we swam, we all pigged out. It was delicious. After supper, I started to clean the kitchen while my dad and Adalyn mowed the yard.

As I was cleaning, my mom was playing with Landon and I reckon Adam was outside, I honestly have no idea what he was up to. Anyway, all of a sudden we hear the biggest popping sound and the electricity went off. We ran outside and come to find out, the biggest buzzard I have ever seen decided to end its life by running into a transformer which caused our electricity to go out. It effected a few other houses as well. While we waited on Duck River to come, mom, Adam, Landon and I sat on the porch and my dad and Adalyn continued their mowing duties.

It was around 7:30 by this point and Landon fell asleep while I was in the rocking chair. We took him inside to change his diaper and he was so sleepy that when my mom layed him down, he didn't move a muscle. His eyes were barely open but yet he had a little grin on his face.

He is asleep by 8:00 or 8:15 each night so I knew we needed to get him home. We had to drive separately for some reason so Adam went ahead and took him on home while I gave Adalyn a bath and then we left. She talked non stop the entire way back. I was enjoying our conversation and couldn't help but laugh at times. Oh the things she says. At one point during our conversation, she said, " I want to sit in the back of the truck and shuck corn with daddy." Then she was talking about bush hogging and how the fence keeps cows in so they don't run away. By the time we got home, Landon was passed out and Adalyn followed shortly after. Friday came and Nancy watched the kids all day while I worked and while Adam went to school to work a little, too. From what i understand Landon was quite the booger for her but was back to himself when we got home! Adalyn spent the night with Jerry and Nancy and they made a pit stop to her favorite restaurant before heading home... Jiffy Burger. So we had Landon to ourself that night which was nice. It is so easy having 1 kid. Whether it's Adalyn or Landon, having 1 allows you to get so much more accomplished I have come to realize. But now that Landon is older and very mobile, they play together which is great. I usually only intervene when crying is involved or if Adalyn is dragging him across the room.
