I'm glad they are staying longer because we always feel rushed and never get to do everything we have planned. This time we will be able to do more without Opa complaining about having to drive too much. We are renting a boat for next week some day. We are going to take Jayke to Monkey Joe's and Splash Zone. I think I may have run through all of this already...so I will stop now. I'm sure I will have a post about everything we do anyway.
Now I have something to use against the kid for the next week. "Jayke you better pick all your toys up or Oma won't want to come." I'm so mean, but it works. Whoever coined the phrase, "Terrible Twos" obviously did it before their child was three! He was an angel at two! I would have 10 two year olds but one three year old is almost more than enough some days. I said some days people, back off! I know I am lucky and he really is very good. I wouldn't trade him for anything, just lock him in the basement occasionally.
Right now he is outside with his father who is up on a 20 foot extension ladder cleaning the gutters. He is almost finished which I am happy about because I'm afraid he is going to fall off that thing and kill himself.
I have to go write a letter for the Home Owners Association now. We are preparing to sue our developer and every homeowner has to write a letter. One of my specialties. I swore when I got off the HOA board at my old house I would never be involved with another one. Too much fighting and stress. So what happens when we move here? Mike volunteers to serve on an advisory committee for the HOA. Yeah I said Mike, but that means that I get to do things like write letters, etc. I have yet to have to go to a meeting though and I intend to keep it that way. Six years of listening to people complain about their neighbors was enough for me. I still can't get away from it though since Mike is involved. He sends all the correspondence to me to read. Several of them are feuding right now too and when I read or hear about it it just gets me all fired up. THAT is what I'm trying to avoid. At least Mike is not involved in the argument so I don't have to get that worked up about it. I'll just write my little letter and be done with it...let the others fight it out.
