Hello! I'm back from my visit with my family. It was great to see everyone, but it's rough traveling with a toddler who hates to travel. Every hour, he asked to go home. Poor little guy. We learned he talks in his sleep and can climb out of his playpen. He slept very well - we all did - when we got home.
I've lots of catching up to do. Welcome to my new followers and thank you to everyone who left such awesome comments. I'm so happy you're loving the story. The A to Z Challenge has been incredible!
My first rejection of the year was waiting for me when I got home. Ah well. I'll try the story elsewhere. I have to write something for April yet too. Oh boy.
My son turns two this coming Friday. I need to prepare for his party. We're barbecuing and having a decorate your own cupcake and sundae dessert bar. Good times!
With his turning two, I've been busy making his annual photo book on Shutterfly. I want to do one for him every year throughout his childhood. It's so much fun to create books on that site.
Okay. Time to visit some of your blogs!
I have a two year old son too that we took to DIsney World in the Fall. It was fun, but it was more restful to be home. I've never tried Shutterfly, I'll have to check it out. Enjoy your party.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely more restful to be at home. Plus, my son hates to be away from home for any time longer than an afternoon. Hopefully he'll change as he grows older or life will be difficult with all our family living far away.
DeleteHopefully he appreciates the books when he's older. I'm sure his wife will get a kick out of them!
ReplyDeleteI'm quick to bring out the pictures and he'll likely learn that!
Deleteglad to hear you're resting. We all need vacations after our vacations.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. I could use another week of doing nothing.
DeleteWelcome home. Glad it was fun and that you could share time with family. Traveling is sometimes wonderful, often tiring, but full of great memories no matter what.
ReplyDeleteThank you! My family loved seeing my son and I got to meet my wee nephew for the first time. It was definitely special.
Deletehappy birthday little guy! isnt being a mommy fun =)
ReplyDeleteIt's the best thing that's ever happened to me!
DeleteSorry about the rejection. So...when and where is this cupcake and sundae dessert bar?
ReplyDeleteThanks. This Saturday at five just an hour south of Indianapolis. I welcome everyone who arrives in the Tardis or by portkey and apparition.
DeleteGlad to hear you had a good time with your family! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteI'm glad you had a good trip! I'm sorry about the rejection. They always seem to come at the wrong times. Hilarious cat picture!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'll try the place again. I have to think of a good sci-fi story to write for it. I already submitted the rejected story somewhere else.
DeletePirate kitten is too cute. Welcome back, Christine. Your story is incredible. Sorry about the R. That won't last though. I'm sure you'll get some yeses. Happy Birthday to your boy. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was the first rejection of the year, so I'm not brooding over it too much. I've already submitted the story elsewhere.
DeleteNew follower. I was lured by your Jedi reference and that dang cute pirate kitty. Happy 2nd birthday to your little one. BTW - The terrible twos are a myth - it's the terrible 3 1/2s you need to watch out for.
ReplyDeleteHello and welcome! I always love connecting with other geek moms. :) The two's have started a little rough so far, but it could only be we went on a big trip and the boy hates to travel. I've heard the same thing about three's. Makes me worried!
