awesome.

how was your week? mine was awesome. i mean, really, how many people can say they pried their kid's foot out of the toilet canal?

it WAS great though. we are so anxious and excited about our pending move that reza and i spend lots of time daydreaming, imagining life in a real "home". OUR home. we can't wait. ever since we moved into our first house together everyday feels as if we are playing house. almost five years (and two children) later we still are playing our little game, and so happy doing it. we giggle about it. how lucky are we?

still there is loads going on here. bugs, toilets, bruises, picnics, playgrounds, playdates, popsicles, nightmares, just to get the day started. the kids are growing up so fast, and they are so incredibly different, i can't even grasp that they are related sometimes. it is wonderful and amazing to watch them, especially together. they have so much love for each other. they even hold hands in the backseat when i drive around in the car. on wagon rides i overhear their conversations:

ada-- "lias, do you want to cut your head off and put in on your foot?"

lias-- enthusiastic "yes!"

ada-- "li do you want to put your stinky toes in your mouth"

lias-- enthusiastic "yes!"

love. it goes on and on as i pull them around the neighborhood, popsicles in hand. lias talks mostly about motorized vehicles and stating the names of obvious tangible objects. ada, well, ada doesn't stop talking and it is often inappropriate, although she doesn't have any idea. she does not watch spongebob, she just has a unique sense of humor. i wonder where she gets it?

i hope your week was as uneventful and lovely as mine! i've said it before, but the one thing that shreveport has given us is a little domesticity. we enjoy the simple things here.

ps- can you tell i can see the light at the end of the tunnel! june 30th baby!

pps- can you also tell that i am blogging on a friday night? does that make me some sort of loser? maybe. well, probably. but reza is in minneapolis and i am a single parent. that didn't keep me from watching my first grown up show with ada this evening. we totally vegged out and watched house hunters together and she loved every minute of it. what can i say, i wanted company.
