midwest fog

The glorious fog....

Chloe having fun with her reflection in the window @ Gramma's

Andrew....doing lots of standing, but no walking yet!

Can I have that?!

Love this picture!!! Andrew is FURIOUS....Keitan is doing his fake cutesy grin which beautifully showcases his dimples.

I told him to go put on his pajamas and he came back in swimtrunks....which he loves because "they have underwear built in so you don't have to put any on!"

So Wednesday morning Chloe and I drove the 3 hours down to Kurt & Melissa's (well I did all the driving)....and apparently the west to east current that usually blows across the US has been sleeping this week or something. The fog on the drive down was WRETCHED.....visibility was only about 2/10ths of a mile....looked like you were driving on the edge of a cliff because it was a wall of white next to you. Anyway.....we finally made it safely. Can't say the same for Gramma and Grampa Colson who usually babysit Keitan and Andrew Wednesday mornings...they ended up in the ditch in the fog....but they're ok! Chloe and I hung out with Keitan and Andrew Wed eve so Kurt and Missy could go out to dinner for their 10 year anniversary (Congrats!)....had a blast. 3 kids isn't all that bad to manage.....especially when one's already asleep by the time the parents leave. :) Then Thursday after lunch Chloe and I drove the 3 hours over to Grampa and Gramma Starlings.....and the fog was still wretched and visibility was still horribly limited. At least it's all highway with wellmarked lanes. Spent the night there....did some shopping with Gramma....got 3 Scrabble games in. We were planning to stay until this afternoon....but decided to come home last night since more bad weather was supposed to hit today (so far nothing's happened).....and the fog last night was STILL wretched. So needless to say I'm sick of driving in the fog.....still have a headache from it! When we go down to Chad & Jill's for New Year's Eve...Aaron is definitely driving whether it's foggy or not!


And tomorrow starts my horrid week at work....so there may not be any posting here for a while. I work Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.....all 12 hour night shifts. Gotta love the holidays! That's all 72 hours in 1 week instead of 2.....and no I didn't do it to myself....the schedulers did. But Chloe should have fun....Nana's coming to visit all week so I can sleep and work! :)
