crank it out

...
Okay, so I just got off from working a really fun shift at the hospital and thought that I better crank out a blog post while the adrenaline is still there. In a perfect world, post shift I would not quickly crash to sleepy land. Too bad this isn't a perfect world.

Okay. So I haven't made that video of the house yet. Boo. I have two things to say about that actually. First. My new couch and love seat come tomorrow afternoon and my bathroom is having tile put in over the next couple of days. I want an accurate video of our house so that project will be pushed off for T-2 days. Second. I have made some progress. I did email out our new address and the kids had a blast in the boxes. Let's just choose to focus on the progress versus the video lies I have been spreading, k?

Let me catch up. I had promised myself last week that Friday was not going to be about unpacking. At that point we were 5 days in to the whole real moving process and our kids needed time to play in an open space with a non-distracted Mommy. So regular Friday received an upgrade to "Fun Friday". We took a tiny trip in Olive to go and visit the Austin Children's Museum...we saw the specials and promptly became members. Hooray June specials. And double hooray for a chance to escape the EXTREME heat to come this summer at a WAY cool inside place. I heart this place greatly.

I mean you have tunnels, make-believe-restaurants, trains...

art...

construction...

LOTS of things for busy little hands. Did I mention the air conditioning?

Saturday after I worked, Nonnie paid a little visit to the capital and MAN did we have some fun. I didn't know it was possible to cram as many Austin things in to one and a half days. Her visit consisted of Ikea, swimming at our pool, Amy's Ice Cream, Driving the hills, Kerby Lane, Hula Hut...

And even a visit to see the bats.

Unfortunately, the festival and strange light display on the side of the Hilton kept the bats from making their big decent. Nonnie will have to come back in August to see the giant bat ascension to the sky! We did have fun waiting for those silly bats though...

We had plenty of time for some sticky rolling...
sweaty bouncing...

SO hot you lose your shirt sort of fun. It was very Austin.

More to come, I PROMISE... remember that whole crashing thing I referenced... it might be happening now. Bye bye adrenaline, it's been swell.
