Took the weekend off
Nothing exciting has really happened, so I decided not to bore you with details. Friday Chris went to work, so we sat around, until we decided to go grocery shopping. What a NIGHTMARE that was. I thought the grocery store was alot bigger than it really was. It was an Albert Heijn on the corner, and there's a huge AH in Rijswijk, so I figured they were all the same. Boy was I wrong!!! There were MAYBE 6 aisles. Then, with a double stroller, people were giving me some seriously dirty looks. Alexa wouldnt keep her hands in the stroller, it was WAY too big for the store, there were too many people in there, and it was just a nightmare. Then Chris came home with flowers for me. That was nice, but I was still stressed from grocery shopping. Made a pizza for dinner, and drank...and drank...lol. We all chatted about where we should live and where Alexa should go to school. Then Alexa decided to get up at midnight and stay up until 2. I'm having a hard time getting her to bed. Saturday we drove around Voorburg with Alexa. Then we went to the mall (In de Bogaard) looking for a single stroller (and didnt find one), but Alexa did get a new "soccer ball" and I got some laundry baskets. Then we came home and I cooked tacos. YUM. Chris said it was the best meal he's had so far....lol. I'll eat/make tacos anyday, so that's fine with me. Alexa and Dylan both made it to bed by 10 last night, and didnt make a peep! She came in and crawled in bed with us about 9, and we all got up about 1015. Then we decided to go to Amsterdam to the Hard Rock Cafe to have lunch, so we packed up the car and headed up to Amsterdam (30 min drive). We passed the airport, so Alexa was facinated by the airplanes again. Driving here is insane and I just keep my eyes closd the whole time. It's scary. When he have to drive on the cobblestone streets, Alexa yells "Are you shaking me?" from the back. After heading in from Amsterdam, we decided to go through Wassenaar again. We looked at the houses again, and I think we've narrowed it to Wassenaar or Rijswijk. We'll have to see when Chris gets his housing exemption. When we were driving through Wassenaar, Alexa was kicking the back of Chris' seat. I was sitting in between her and Dylan. Finally I grabbed her legs and told her to stop and she started screaming and didnt stop, so I just ignored her. Then she says "Chris will ask me to stop if he wants me to." Susie and I started laughing, of course, but it wasnt supposed to be funny. She needs to listen to me!!!! We are trying to train her to hold our hands and stay with us while we are out, so we dont have to always use the strollers, but it's been quite unsuccessful. She runs as hard and fast as she can away from us, like it's a game, laughing and screaming the whole time. Real funny Lex. So now we are home and I am going to try to catch up on laundry (which will never happen). Our washer is a dryer too, so it has to wash and dry the same load before you can take it out. It takes all day to do 1 load and the washer only holds 5 lbs of wet clothes, so that's like 2 pairs of jeans and 2 shirts. Anything more comes out wrinkled to hell, therefore, I am now admitting, I will never catch up on laundry unless we sit around the house for a week in the same PJs all day....lol.
