Dragon Brain

So, I've been giving it a lot of thought and have decided to blame Audrey for stealing my brain. Maybe she dissolved it with her toxic slobber or hid it under one of the couches...I don't know, but I'm definitely no longer in possession of it. That being said, I'll try to give you a coherent recap of the past few weeks.

Jeff and Kathryn came over for Mother's Day weekend and somehow got away with nary a game of Catan being played. We ended up having about twenty people at the house for dinner on Sunday and I loved every minute of it. I know technically mothers aren't supposed to do a bunch of work on Mother's Day, but entertaining is one of my favorite things to do. John spent most of the morning shoo-ing me out of the kitchen, but after much nagging, he let me at least throw a roast in the crock pot and then forced me to sit on the couch drinking coffee and eating cinnamon rolls. It was torture.

I've also decided that Mother's Day is, for all sakes and purposes, a second birthday. I got away with pretty much anything I wanted and if there was even a peep of protest, I would yell "It's Mother's Day! I can do whatever I want!" Ever gracious and demure...that's me.

Audrey is doing great. She's learning to crawl faster and faster (eeek!) and tries to excape the living room whenever possible. She loves chasing Caba and pulling up on the gate at the stairs. She also has a sixth sense for finding things she's not supposed to get into and is really trying to figure out how to get those darn plugs out of all the electrical outlets. We're working on the concept of "NO". It usually just makes Audrey laugh and continue with her mission to pull down the drapes. This kid is so spoiled.

Anyway, that's about all my poor excuse for a brain can handle right now. I'm off to go stare blankly at the wall and try not to drool.
