A Quiet House

Abby, Mike and Charlie left for home late this afternoon. I am sure Ben will miss having his cousin to play with. They played very well together -- for the whole long weekend I don't remember having to break up any fights over toys or anything. Ben did not bat an eyelash at having all his toys strewn all over the house -- he loves company. I think he probably is happy to have his room back to himself though. Becca moved in with him for the last four nights so Charlie could sleep in her crib. She seemed to sleep pretty well in her Pack N Play in Ben's room and the one morning she woke up early (today) and cried, Ben did not wake up. That kid sleeps like a rock.

Abby and I took one last trip to the mall this morning (I took the day off since they were not leaving till late afternoon). We both upgraded our cell phones to the new EnV. It is very nice. My old phone was 3 years old and bought from a friend who claimed it took crooked pictures. As a matter of fact it did take crooked pictures so it's nice to have a phone that takes straight pictures. It is also nice to have a qwerty keyboard since my texting ability on a regular phone keypad is abysmal.

After shopping, lunch and playing with our phones, I took Abby, Mike and Charlie to the airport and then went to the gym which was very crowded from everyone trying to work off their Thanksgiving dinners. Now I'm spending my evening trying to get the house straightened up and mentally preparing for going back to the grind tomorrow...
