It was a weekend of laughter and play-doh , frozen shaped mac n cheese, mashed potatoes , dino chickens, unicorn mac n cheese, ice cream , and the best part swinging . The swing was the best $25 dollars ever spent . Now the $20 twin well they are okay . And well who can put a price tag on Henry the best playmate ever. He was happy to see her come and extremely annoyed that she took a long nap. At midnight he looked at her and like girl go to sleep. Eventually I gave up on her and just made her go to our room and he dragged his bed over and slept next to her . However when 5:30am came . He nosed her and pawed her . Hello friend! She crawled in bed with me. Derek took him out and breakfast and a walk. And she was sleeping so well. And he jumps on the bed and got in her face . Friend ! Wake up !! And then we where up and I knew by 10 we would be taking a nap . But we stretched it out due to the swing . We made it to 1pm. And she was out like a light for the next 4 hours . And then it was back to the swing . Henry was sad to see her go . Don’t worry Henry she will be back .
And 2 hours later he found a new friend . Vivian , the Airbnb guest staying for 31 days and has already fallen in love with our town and found a house she wants and every junk store you can imagine . except on Wednesday morning as she was ordering her Starbucks a mouse came through her air conditioner vent and decided it wanted coffee also. She had a terrible time getting to work. And that is all she thought about all day . She really didn’t want to drive it home , But braved it and did. Derek searched the car we saw it twice. Vivian screamed and I think the neighbors heard her. As she went to yell at her husband. I got the sticky traps out put peanut butter on them captain crunch on two placed them in the floor board. After an hour or a little more. The critter went for the Captain Crunch . And then was drowned in the pool and off to mouse heaven .
It was a dramatic evening and very entertaining for sure.
So every day I go home for lunch I let Henry out , have some lunch , take Henry for a walk and give him a treat go back to work . All was good and routine until I came home at 5 . He was lounging in the French door window. I opened the door. There lays part of my toothbrush and of course he bed has a small hole and there is weird foam on the floor. That’s normal . But then I find my apple watch charger in many pieces. He is smart enough he has figured out how to the 2nd door open to the master bedroom .
And once again it was only my stuff ! But it wasn’t a shoe ! Is he mad I go back to work ? I play with him , I walk him , I give him a treat . FYI take him for a walk in the morning and evening and I feed him and I play with him . Daddy just shows up and says HI . WHAT THE HECK !!! Eat his stuff ! I take a late lunch . He really only has a couple of hours before I come back home . No wink in the eye. Oh Henry what am I to do with you ….
It was a couple of hour at the vineyard . I wanted Envy and they are out til they bottle again . So I went with Almond and you can never go wrong with Sparkling Almond . A glass of wine for each and a sunset . Derek got home just as we did. It was a much quieter evening.
Most schools are on Spring Break . We are not . We are Spring Broke. Which is fine the students didn’t need another week. 5 more weeks and they are out for the summer .
We are off to the weekend with a house to clean and laundry to fold hair to trim. I’m hoping for Easter in Corpus . Fingers crossed.
Until next time darlings
