Sippin' In Style...and then some...

Is this not the cutest darn thing ever? 

While we treked Main Street (actually I think it's Avenue here. Who has Main Avenue!?) today we spotted a few must haves.  Sadly the only thing we actually purchased were new family Nalgenes that are BPA free. I thought this Nalgene sippy cup for Noah was too precious to pass up. We would have gotten Kayt one, but all they had were blue. I'm not against my daughter using a blue sippie, but having two blue bottles would only be asking for future problems. I will have to order her the green one from the website. 

If you are wondering about our old Nalgenes, well, let's just say that my husband put the indestructible promise to the test. I'm not sure how he managed to break them, I vaguely recall something about running over one with a car and throwing another off a roof, or something to that affect but whatever may have happened they are very gone. 

You could say Colorado has gotten the best of me because I was persistent on getting Noah a pair of Tevas or Keens, but opted not to only because of an overdue nap time.  Kayt just got new kicks right before the trip thanks to Dude (my mom) or I would have been looking to get two pairs.  

Aren't they cool, or tool, as Noah says?   

I have a pesky head cold!

I am sneezing like mad and am having a hard time getting enough oxygen because of my stuffy nose. And my faucets, I mean eyes, are making it hard to see this screen. Pair all of that with the fact that I am chasing two lads at 7000 feet and you have one worn out chick!

I know Jesus is on my side though because both of the kids have been asleep for a few hours already (and only He can pull that off) and I've showered and am enjoying a quiet evening to myself, which is already proving to be theraputic. Brad is at the evening session so I am all by my lonesome (unless you count the sleepers within ten feet of me). 

I have actually had several periods of down time and relaxing this week. Although B-rad is not required to attend much this week, he has made an effort to serve in any way possible and connect with others. He has done a great job of balancing it with family time, so what it has looked like is when the kids are both sleeping he sneaks away which gives me time to nap or blog or shower or paint my toe nails. And when just Kayt is napping it gives Noah and I good one-on-one time to golf or play chase or read books. I also have loved letting Noah play on the big grassy null and spending time with the Lord while basking in the beauty surrounding me. 

We are having a spledid time, but ole' Dorthy always proves to know best!

I mean Dorthy from the Wizard of Oz'...come on peeps. 

I just didn't want you to think Colorado had lulled me in too far. Kevas are far enough for me, no happy grass for this girl ;)

I kid, I kid.

But, there is no place like home!

And we are getting ready to be home. Well, Kayt doesn't seem to mind the change of scenery, she has taken to sleeping in a portable bed and loves the constant action around us.  On a Kayt note, she only wants to stand now. No sitting for that girl! She loves to stand in her Pac-n-Play and walk all the way around it. Is it terrible that I am cheering for NO walking for awhile? 

I think my mind must be running out along with my tears because my thoughts are bouncing so wildly right now that even a racketball court couldn't house them.

I know I had mentioned that I showered a bit ago (not that everyone cares to know that), but it got me to thinking about different peoples prefrence of night vs. morning showers.

I typically shower in the morning, but when you are off of your normal routine 'ya get whacha get and ya don't throw a fit,' right?

When I shower before bed my hair does funky things during the night while I sleep. If I re-wet it, it's just not the same as being freshly washed. But, it does feel great to go to bed so clean. 

If you think this is a really odd question, just blame it on the altitude, but what do you prefer?

Do you shower at night or in the morning?
